thing sounded awesome when it passed me

giles were they not optional extras? although i cant find a pic of another mk1 172 with a sunroof! remember thinking it was weird at the time i noticed it

was thinking that myself lol ross, yeah probably the best pic i took wud have been better if you washed it ;)

Heres the pics that i took from the stirling meet, cameras crap but still ok. was a brilliant night, i went thru half a tank of petrol in one night was fun trying to keep up with the 2.0s apart from the fact that my passengers side front tyre was a bit low and every time i turned right it kept...

mine is a 1.2 16v but got the same 50 litre fuel tank as a 182, and it costs about £40-£45 to fill depending on petrol prices. i get about 300 miles to a tank sometimes more sometimes less

my mates got one some of the falkirk/stirling guys probably seen it, older shape one black with white wheels. straight it pulls and pulls on me but not as much as the 172s were on sunday, but corners im actually faster than him (his is standard)

that the white one with the big silly mental kit on it?

dont do it, quickfit use cheap shite replacement exhausts. ive noticed some of them look even more restrictive than standard (seen them fitted to both a saxo and mondeo get very thin at some parts go to Motorsport world in lanarkshire they have a custom exhaust centre, £170 for a stealth...

biggest b*****d of a jov ive done putting it thru the grommet, tbh i fitted my front comps, rear speakers and rest of the wiring in less time than it took to do that power wire lol

get a custom stealth system made, just looks like your standard oem one but a bit of a noise on full throttle etc and bit more performance

i got the "clicking" thing when pulling away its the engine moving, it makes a click when it cant move any further in the mount, or thats the only thing i can think about. i changed the mount yesterday with a 172 one and its much better now car no longer jumps out of gear when your coming upto...

id fit some 58mm hubs and get some koni adjustables :)

http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ - thats where im getting mine, £12 or something silly like that

keep looking about mate and you'll get a bargain i only payed £1,700 for mine 3yr old (at the time) 02 plate with 117,000 miles and in need of a bit of tlc, look at it now :)

aw sweet they xenons look awesome, good work!

isnt it because 197bhp is the magic 100bhp per litre or something?

love or hate kinda thing i suppose, if you like it then id keep it silver :) giles i know your down 40mm thats why i suggested 60mm ;)

if you take it to a custom exhaust place they should be able to make you up a new centre section and still use your current backbox.

trophy and V6 spoiler are the same yep. £200 sounds ok for one, but their are bargans to be had if you keep your eye out and dont rush into buying the first one you see

im from falkirk, always changing between my 2 sets of wheels so its eather this... or check the local meetings section if you fancy coming to stirling cruise with us all

not worth getting it from renault you will likely be cheaper to get a custom stainless steel replacement or even a full aftermarket exhaust system made up.

wow freds V6 looks awesome! Not to keen on the silver grill on the 172 giles you need to go -60mm with the suspension :D

i dont know if its true or what they would change to get it, but 205bhp i would think is pretty easy. its a revised version of the 172/182 engine, which gets to 200bhp with not to much hastle but you seem to hit a brick wall there and need to pile a load of money in for any decent gains after that

done the dog bone before. car up on axel stands, trolley jack to hold the wait of the engine, replace mount (2 bolts, cant remember size) - job done :) maby worth getting k-tec dogbone mount inserts/bushes while your at it?

cheers mate, forgot i had posted this. done it today and found it easyer just to put a screw driver up the wee hole on the bottom of it and unclip it from there. didnt manage to get any colourcoded ones today tho :(

ive got the -60mm apex kit and the ride is harsh but i like it that way, infact i dont even notice it being that harsh now untill someone gets in n says "fukin hell!" every time i hit a small bump lol

i like that in the first 2 photos not keen on the back but doesnt look to bad from the front to be honest, seen a lot LOT worse! good work, colour looks brilliant, and the paint quality in general.

hi, anyone know how you get the plastic cover off the back of the wingmirror on MK2 clios? going to the scrappys to get some colourcoded ones but dont know how they come off. cheers

clio would be simmilar to 60, suspension mods and stripped and you have a 900kg car with similar/better handling than a 172/182, a capable car for what it is

sorry to hear it mate, looks like a mint car :( does that blue one have turinis on it? lol
