sad to see it go mate but atleast your moving on to bigger or better things, i had my 172 up for sale had a few test drives in an evo, r32 gtr skyline and going for one in a 350z but after a sale of the 172 fell thru ive decided to keep it as i really do think its an awesome car i just KNOW i...

na i was going to attempt it with non genuine tools but gave it a miss as they were crap. you wont get the timing right with non genuine tools

yep thats the one. 65mpg+ £35 a year road tax cheap insurance similar performance to a 1.4 16v petrol clio better suspension and steering setup than the 1.2 16v

Clio DCi Dynamique 80 would be my choice

what do you hate about the ka and maby we can help you better.

probably RS Tuning unless anyone closer to home can do it, but doesnt seem to be much choice up here other than superchips who arnt giving the gains i want.

yeah the mk3's have stronger gearboxes so have more torque, if you look at a RR print out of a standard dci100 you will notice it hits its max torque of 148lbft and then the graph flattens out and it has a flat torque graph untill it starts dropping off because its limited, and you can feel it...

mk3s feel slower than they are not because of the weight but because of the size, my mum has a 1.2 16v mk3 and it feels mega slow even compaired to mk2 1.2 16vs but in reality its really just the same! think they have shorter ratios to make them accelerate slightly quicker to offset the weight...

the man with the plan!! i like that idea im going to look into it for my coilovers lol cheers

yeah mate the 100 i would avoid if its used for the sole purpous i use mine for and thats as a 2nd car to save cash, the 65 was better for that, this is a better warm hatch, and a lot of people laugh when i call it a warm hatch but it is hugely capable as i proved at the last cliosport meet and...

ohh they would look mint on my dci100 they are awesome mate i love it

like i said in your other thread mate try your hardest to save up and pay it all off in one go makes the year ahead so much easier thats what i done and went from paying £260 a month to 0 a month for insurance, yeah i was skint for 2 months to save it up but gave me much more money for the other...

yes mate when i got my 100 i felt it was pretty slow untill i realised i need to be doing 4000rpm gear changes compaired to the 3000rpm changes i was doing in the 65. ive never driven an 80 but since it has the same turbo as a 65 i assume its much the same just with a bigger kick due to more...

sounds about right mine dropped from £2500 TPFF when i was 18 to £1200 fully comp at 19 then to £800 fully comp at 20

yep crack in the cat, decat time!!

ive never heard of a steering rack going on a 172 maby ive just got lucky though you sure its not the inner track rods are causing the play?

ive never changed on in the 50+ oil changes ive ever done and never had one leak a single drop.

can only average 60ish in the 100 on my usual daily drive, not taking it too easy though, used to average 68 the 65 though!!

yes because most cars of the same size and similar weight go about the same when one has 30bhp and 50lb/ft more, have you ever driven a 1.2? my 172 doesnt even feel torquey compaired to my dci lol

my first one had done 155k before it broke for the first time lol 100 isnt gave any problems either and ive put 6k hardish miles on it in 3 months

ill pm you mate save spamming the thread hehe

need to disagree with you there, while it may not make a big difference in a straight line "race" the numbers dont tell the full story i only gained 15bhp and 15lbft with my mods but the difference to the way it drives is unbeleivable it may only pull 4 or 5 car lenghts by 145mph on a standard...

RS stamped manifolds are better but still not good by any means some of them even RS ones all differ

depends what sort of turbo diesel your talking here?!

you using a standard filer, i found mine pulled better after 6500rpm with the ITG compaired to the dirtyer standard filter (no experiance with a new standard one)

dci 100 will be more than fast enough upgrade for you. im used to mine so it doesnt feel as quick anymore but i dont have that torque sensation when i drive the 172 that i used to get when i jumped in it from the 1.2. my 100 trashes 1.2s no problem pulling all the way to its redline of...

one on the bottom of the airbox goes to the circle hole on the bit of metal that goes all the way round the battery area, top one goes to the thottle body on the inlet manifold and the side one goes to the hose that leads down teh front of the battery to the wheelarch where the acoustic valve is

infront of the battery the airfeed coming out of the airbox pull it out and tuck it to the side. theres mixed reviews about doing this, yes you get better noise, heat soak isnt really a problem this is where the airfeed comes from on standard non rs clios if you look behind the grill there is...

n2o has come on a lot in the last few years, i think the reason its no widely used is because people would rather spend the money having constant power rather than power that needs refilled all the time! plus a lot of bad press makes it less popular.

ive found this problem to be caused with as described above tdc sensor on all clios not just RS clios, removing cleaning and refitting ususally solves the problem
