Sportines are a bit lower than standard lower (about -25mm) Prolines arn't any lower (some say slightly lower some say higher!) I love the sportlines on my mk2 172, i wasnt impressed with the handling as standard coming from a coilovered car, but the eibachs transformed it! you wont have ANY...

once you give them a good thrashing on a dry day to wear them in they are awesome, im on my 6th front set now in 2 years LOL!!

this is probably my favourite out of thousands of my old car, dont know what it is about it, was at the start of a nightshift in the summer when it was still light, its just sitting at the perfect ride height and the picture shows off the lines of the mk2 clio perfectly imo, loved that car!!!

182 has a really free flowing cat as standard, id go for a decat or just stay standard tbh!

02 plate dynamique 145k 03 plate 172 37k today!

no its not the same bottom end just based on the same bottom end iirc both F4R's

given time and money its deffo possible just a good bit of blood sweat and tears on the way lol i looked into fitting one into my old 1.2!! i just dont have the time to sort out fabricating mounts and making up custom shafts thats before we come to wiring!

^ on a turbo car yes because the turbos running off the exhaust gasses, so improve the flow with a different exhaust and it will give gains! its also sucking in large amounts of air so improving the intake will also give big gains! a clio isnt relying as much on exhaust and air flow so only...

there were 2 cup packs... the cup suspension pack and the cup spoiler pack. the cup spoiler pack came with an enlarged rear spoiler and a little black splitter on the bottom of the front bumper (some dealers didnt fit the splitters or some have been wripped off!) the cup suspension pack...

so your trying to tell me that a 1.2 is faster than a 172 with the same driver? wtf are you smoking, can i have some?

looks good what exhausts that?

lol that kit is horrible so is the exhaust

had different sidelights anyway think he was showing them off, was dark so prob wudnt have noticed it i was only looking due to no lights and when it got closer thought thats a fukin VEE!! looked good tho! ive been in edinburgh all week n no spotted yet!

saw a Monaco MK2 172 thismorning at the lights near the gyle centre was low with 16v badges on the rear pillars behind back side windows. then saw a mars red mk2 v6 on the d/c going up towards east craigs (just up the road from where i spoted 172!) this was tonight, was dark and you just had...

lower it a bit and stick some spacers on it and that'll sort your looks problem! stick with 15's they are the future!

you wont get a much better manifold than the 182 one for these cars, its already really well designed

ive heard the mk2 k-tec stealth sounds horrible although ive never heard one in real life. theres a video on you tube if you search "gdi stealth" of it on a cup and it sounds really nice! its what ill be getting

ive got PIAA Platinum, highly recomended

have you actually done a cambelt on a 172? lol my 1.2 16v was not a bad job, 172 im not touching!

Sounds to me like an Upstream O2 Sensor (Lambda) mine used to chug chug chug and hit 3k rpm then just stop reving for 5 seconds or so then start pulling again. but then once it warmed up after a couple of minutes it was fine!

Id speak to MS World, thats where my old one was done, loved it!

not many 8v's going about in the ph2, most are hte 75bhp 16v. the 16v's are acceptable to drive even when coming from the 172 because it gets its power higher in the rev range so gives a bit of fun where the 8v get the power (or lack of it) low down in the revs and dont seem to gain anything...

i blew my old 1.2 16v up at 145k, it took constant abuse when it was up to temperature though so....

Do you have a picture of a remap to show us

you cant go -60 on springs, lowest you can take it on springs is -40mm and it will be a harsh crashy ride. coilovers are an option but also still a bit harsher depending on what yo go for. eibach sportinlines will drop it 25mm or so and wont make the ride much harsher, just stiffen it slightly

thats dealers for you, my cars still under warranty but instead i just pay for repairs and do them myself as its been in twice and both times fucked up, my centre section fell off and i dropped it off to get sorted, they just pasted it back up and it fell off again on the way home, went back in...

i was insured with admiral at 18 with 0ncb in my own name for £2500 now insured still 18 (just!) with 1years ncb for £1200 fully comp

im used to it and dont notice it, only time i notice a difference is when driving a dynamique it feels like a driving game on the PS2 with a steeringwheel, no feedback or anthing lol

no such thing, they are gas pressurized, maby your car is special and as long as your happy with it thats all that matters, all im saying is i thought my apex suspension car was the muts nuts too untill i tried something else. and yep a car with a PI setup can be even better than a coilovered...

my mates got a GTT with stainless exhaust and filter no other mods and untill 70-80mph there isnt much in it at all between it and my 172, i just pull slowly, after 80mph though its bye bye! and the starlet doesnt handle anywhere near as well and its on TRD Springs and uprated dampers.
