lol hes just had the all the black done and wheels fitted!!

i like getting into mine when ive been using the 172 for a few days, makes you a lazy driver though, the GT's have about 185lbft @ 2000rpm from memory and i rarely ever go above 2000rpm even when making decent pace! Think adams above has a good chunk over 200lbft too its been mapped

LOL!!! haha sorry its about all we have going for us is the torque and MPG! suppose you do have 20% more than a 197 under 3k rpm its not all that bad!!

what sort of speeds are you needing to do? im doing 100mph at 3000rpm in 6th from memory!

beause it does 60mpg with more torque than you? :p

you got ur MAF sensor unpluged yet? lol

your spoiler is bonded onto the roof so you would probably need a lot of paint work done when yours is removed! thats if the boot lid is similar altho i think its different as you cant fit a GT spoiler onto a normal 197/200 iirc. id get a set of coilovers and spacers

personally its probably what i would do these days if i was going back to lower powered mk2 clios, run the RS setup inc brakes., parts would be cheap ish especially from a brakers, i would probably just drop the top suspension bolts out and take the full subframe and swap it over to your car...

i can find out what speed im doing in each gear at a set RPM with my 6 speed diesel version of the clio 200 box if you want (cant remember the box code!)

i put £800 coilovers on my 1.2 16v, had them properly setup and was the best mod i done to it! if you want to go 172 setup you will need hubs, bottom arms, ARB, id run brakes too not sure if you would 100% need to fit them though. possibly more ive missed out but thats all i can think of now...

cheers guys, no point specing one on a 200 then, does it deffo do oil temperature or is that just the megane one too? that could possibly sway me!

read it again ;) lol

they usually bend over backwords to help with problems, give them a ring or email

am i also right in thinking bigger turbo running half the pressure will have cooler air temps?

not 100% sure, so many % stiffer, probably un noticeable i just fitted them since my old ones were burst!

same setup im running, 182 cup rears 172 cup fronts

i find the best way to lower it is to get like 10 mates in the car, cable tie the springs when they are compressed then take the mates out

Re: Friends 18yo daughter no idea i just told them i wanted a 18k service and my gt spoiler brakelight sorted. lol

Re: Friends 18yo daughter ah right, i knew mine was 18k just wasnt sure about that one! mine goes in on tuesday £160 for an oil filter and air filter change lol ffs

highly recomended!

what functionality does it have? if im right in thinking the megane one has different throttle maps and a boost guage, obviously no boost on the clio but what about the different maps, are they worth having on a 200 or a bit pointless? g meter doesnt interest me lol

Re: Friends 18yo daughter u sure the 68 is 1yr 12k and not 2yr 18k?

Re: Friends 18yo daughter mk3 DCi's are even more reliable than the MK2's (which are pretty reliable!!) dynamique or dynamique S spec would be preferable but assuming thats his budget their isnt much chance of getting one! that one looks good though, if its only got 4 stamps in the book then...

my 3, all running sportlines.. flamer 1.6 16v ph1 172 black dci100

pay your membership if you want to sell stuff. i see you own a clio mk4 too! do you work for renault? lol

probably chopped into a wire when refitting the stereo back in, ive seen it done 3 or 4 times on clios. same imobiliser issue.

lol @ selling due to change in circumstances, more like hes realised it needs a belt change/service and damper refurb and doesnt have £1500 to spare (i have no idea what it costs to rebuild the dampers btw lol)

i think you girls need some driving lessons, i can launch the dci off a wet roundabout no problem without the tinyest bit of wheelspin, and my current front michelins are nearly slicks ;)

lol owning a 172 is like the be all and end all on this place, 172 owners should stop wasting their money on old s**t boxes and move onto the mk3's!! like your car dude, miss my little black dynamiques! k4m is a good engine shame its so thirsty! lol make sure you use renault or a specialist for...

cracker of an engine in a cracker of a chassis, it would be a weapon especially if you can use an R26 box with LSD? pitty they sound so dull!! (as most 4cylinder turbocharged cars do!)
