lol wouldnt outrun it, well down a backroad it would outrun or atleast stay with a standard 172 (well not sure about mk1 172 never driven one!) straightline it wouldnt be that quick but would be fun! anyone got any idea how much power it would run with arround 20psi of boost? how do you adjust...

172 engines been done, no one as far as i know has supercharged the 1.2 16v. i love how lightweight the car/ engine is, f**k i even lifted my new engine into the back of a van myself once the gearbox was removed! imo my car has just enough power to have loads of fun down a backroad and it...

ive been though loads of different set ups on my engines and found out the following... k-tecs relocation kit is the worst for power, it sucks in hot air from the radiator, the inlet length is FAR to long so the engine looses torque. pulling away on a hot day is really bad, car judders due to...

bends look piss poor id change it for something else if your planning to keep it, does it sound ok or dodgey?

look at the first shape mini, everyone had one, they were far from rare, cheap to buy and run and id class a good nick one as a classic these days! imo yes the clios will become classics. if i was to win the lottery i know id collect hot hatches and buy every single hot hatch that was ever...

lol lack of low down torque, u need a shot of my 1.2 16v the full car judders unless you launch it at 3,000rpm lol thats a lack of torque. it has the narrowest power band in the world, 4,000rpm till 5,500rpm!

i always put mine on when im driving fast and hammering it round roundabouts so i can be seen better! and people dont pull out infront of me. always thought it was the law that motorbikes had to have there lights on?

35mm springs will hardly even lower it, wont even be noticeable really. u find that with 35 or 40mm springs on non RS models, id only go 60mm you SERIOUSLY need to sort that exhaust thats a mess, sticks out far to much. raised, brought back and cut into bumper would be nicer. id get front...

yep one of the reasons i bought them since im never happy with how low/high my car sits lol

apparently power of a 1.4, torque of a 1.6 and MPG of a 1.2! if it was in a light MK2 shell it would be perfect, wont be to bad when revs get up in the mk3 tho. decent exhaust, filter, remap, suspension & brakes it would be quite quick.

there Silverline like mine (well mine are adjustable damping Silverline X ones) so they wont rust looks good, just low enough. id loose the vvt-i badges tho. like the new renaultsport badges

good stuff, ill need to get a set ordered :) is it possible to get your 1.2 16v big brake kit supplyed with these instead of the other pads (at extra cost of course!)

£130 - £170 depending on where its from id have thought?

the 1.8 16v/williams fitment is the same as 1200 16v calipers isnt it? my greenstuff's are needing changed.

theres a little gap on the underside of the button that you can fit a screwdriver up to slide it up the back of the button and then lever it off, easy. mine came off perfect but i still threw it in the bin haha

one of my top mounts is fucked and making a funny noise so going to replace both but looking on GSF they only have the Mk1 clio listed, i know they use the same setup as far as im aware so was wondering if they were the same part? also is there anything else worth changing while the coilovers...

if you read my original post you'll see im buying a 172, but i have my black dynamique sitting doing nothing as well as a supercharger sitting doing nothing and thought and still beleive it can be done cheaply, just not sure on the ecu side of things with these cars..

mine lasted to 115k when it got very stiff and a high biting point. then it started slipping and slipping and then by the time i managed to get a day off to change it, i had lost all drive lol. worth changing the cable at the same time.

Deffo Eagle F1s, best tyres ive used on mine.

why the fog lights when its sunny may i ask? silver grills look shite

have a look at andys black one with PH1 172 OZ F1 Cup wheels on it on coilovers, F1 Cups suit the MK2 Ph1 cars. if you cant afford coilovers put the -60mm apex kit on it, i loved mine.

ive got 2 1.2 16v engines actually lol 1 spare 1 fitted, but like i said im not wanting to spend much on this car just thought it would cost maby less than £500 to supercharge it (not inc mapping) just it seems like more hastle than its worth

so realisticly it would need standalone management? what about going back a step in time and ditching injection for a set of motorbike carbs?! dont want to spent any big ammount of money on this just fancy doing something stupid with the 1.2 engine since its a nice wee car thats lying about...

actually now that i think of it, this would need a new inlet manifold/throttle body as the standard manifold is shite and then cable throttle to go with it wouldnt it?

its easy on a 1.2 16v once uve done it once and get the nack of it! dont fancy trying it on a 172 due to the lack of room,

think the rrp for the clutch from renault is £60+vat fittings the expensive part, its not hard just time consuming and wouldnt bother trying it yourself if you have no or limited mechanical skill/tools.

managed to "aquire" a supercharger from a Cooper S and was just going to sell it but was thinking of supercharging my dynamique when i get my 172 next month as the dynamiques coming off the road. now as far as im aware i would need the following to make this possible... custom bracket to...

none, Goodyear Eagle F1's is my choice

no so sure on that 1 charlie i just got 70miles to just under half a tank lol
