is it just a case of swaping over the turbo, exhaust manifold, ecu, inlet manifold, and a couple of other bits to my old 1.2 and its a conversion lol

around town you wont notice a difference infact the 8v feels a bit quicker due to cable throttle being more responsive and better low down torque. over 3,000rpm tho the 16v is quicker, i love my little 1.2 16v even now that im used to the 2.0 16v 172

we talking 16v turbo here or n/a 16v?

i hate these ph4 things, ph2 was the nicest mk2 dynamique they done. dont like the front or back lights or drums and tints r too dark, wheels dont look to bad not my cuppa tea tho. that the Apex kit you have on it? nice choice, ive got an old apex kit lying about need to get another clio to...

u think ur car rattles lol... try driving my 1.2 dropped 80mm on FK Silverline X coilovers with the koni dampers set fukin hard, Powerflex dogbone & ARB bushes, Powerflex Dogbone mount bushes, Powerflex exhaust mounts. the vibration is mental, ride is very very harsh on main roads, get it...

my expression seats were like that, couldnt be arsed cleaning them because they still look horrible clean or dirty lol so i got a full dynamique one lol. airbag light will 99% be the wires under the seat, and check to make sure the airbag is turned on (passengers side door, put the key in...

hahahahahahaha where do i get a "guard bird"

i had Apex springs and dampers on my 1.2 and my FK Silverline X coilovers are only very slightly better.

tell them f**k all lol

172 or 1.2?

thinking of getting them just to drop it slightly and firm it up a bit, but want to put 15's on it like the 1.2 because i hate the handling on 16s but dont want to ruin the looks! because 15s only look good when its slammed. without 15s and firmer dampers its never going to handle like the wee...

how much your rear beam cost you (i assume its brand new from renault) or did just just paint it and fit new disks?

not sure mate i fancy it but amused with my 172 for now lol just need to get the 1.2 running aswell as it sounds like a pile of pish with the burst flexi

yeah lol, might try and promise myself i can only mod it if i pay it off early!

think its staying standard (who am i kidding! lol) although i love my 1.2 its really been a waste of money when i think i could have probably bought the 172 in cash if i had saved the money i spent modding!

another 1.2 cup, nice to see it. too many doors tho hehe scrubs up well right enough!

just had the coilover'd 1.2 out and now im thinking am i making the right descision? the wee thing just went round a bend at 110 then slowed to 70 for a roundabout lol with the exhaust poping and banging. im not sure im doing the right thing now!

yeah i rung them up for it, and they were fine with it, no laughing at me, infact the guy on the phone was brilliant. and nope thats not on my dads name, car and policy in my name with only my mum as a named driver as it brought it down £500, probably if i had payed it monthly it wud have...

free, do it urself lol! not sure how much work it is on a 2.0 as ive never worked on one but i done my 1.2 one but its just a silly wee single cam thing lol

burst the flexy pipe on my downpipe/cat on my 1200 16v AGAIN 2nd time in 3 months, using an uprated lower mount to minimise engine movement so dont know whats causing it other than the exhaust catching the odd speedbump or 2. but i noticed the newer euro4 1.2 16v engines phased in arround 2004...

any custom exhaust place really.

just had a call from the garage saying when they done the health check on the car the front brake pads were quite low so there changing from pads, front disks and rear pads for me. and its just had its oil and filter change. the insurance was with admiral, payed up front in a 1 off payment so...

lol i hate the 8v ones, they dont get faster up the revs there just always slow, although i like the cable throttle on them lol. my wee 1200 is a quick one compaired to other ones, once u get it going its not bad but trying to get it there is poor even when its got no seats etc in it lol. i...

i payed £1200 this year on my 1.2 16v lol got my 1 years driving experiance and it dropped a good bit. its 3rd party fire & theft, and i payed it all up front so no interest on it. as for only being 18, thats not really a problem, im not an idiot of a driver on the road, ive had a year and a...

im so happy, bought a Iceberg Silver MK2 172 lastnight, 2003 model with 24k on the clock, serviced by renault at 12k and 21k, garage is doing an oil and filter change for me though before i pick it up, 1 years warranty, 1 years mot, 1 years free servicing. just insured it for £1500 a year...

yep its a dealer, a toyota dealer at that. what year did they start adding cruise control and esp?

from outside the showroom it looks 100% mint, might try for 7k & A free service, will see how it goes!

going to look at a iceberg silver mk2 172 tomorrow with 24k on the clock and was wondering what to look out for? its a 2003 03 plate. whats the cambelt on these due at, 5yrs 72k? i know about the banging in first n 2nd gear and know thats not a big problem as ive fixed one before with the...

£500-£1000 depending on how you do it... not much less needs changed on this conversion than you would do on a 2.0 conversion! not worth it for the extra 20bhp (1.6 would be the one to go for if you didnt want a 2.0 since its just the same as the 1.4 really but with 10bhp and more torque...
