lol good old crail not been there in years, hammering 1.2 corsas in my dynamique those were the days

supersprint i think

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBf4dwB7V3w cant hear it too well but you can see how well it goes!

cut the airbox open, cut out the seperator between the 2 chambers so its just 1 big chamber, chop out the square bits inside (bits that look like an RS front grill!!) seal it back together, sounded mental too!! lol ill find the video of it before the exhaust went on 2 seconds

there is a duct behind teh grill that directs cold air right to this cold air feed, its very efficient where it is. on mine i had standard airbox, modified it a bit to let it draw more air, larger feed going to the same place and K&N panel filter, went well!

never fitted one but i know some here have, dci 100 one is more efficent though!

not done it yet but looks like a case of just unbolting the subframe and droping it, disconecting the steering rack to get it a bit lower then unbolt it and squeeze it out! sounds easyer than it really is probably! haha

should the upstream not throw up the warning light though? Fitting a 182 manifold this month anyway so might change it anyway

i can feel it when coming off throttle, the engines moving, gearsticks moving too, cars not driving smoothly when slow in traffic in first gear. when the cars cold its really lumpy to drive, i know the cars are pretty crap when cold but this is worse than it used to be! it feels like when my...

not a fan of the ek9, dont know if my mates is a duff one but its not as quick as my 172, although i suppose it does weigh a wee bit more with around the same power (they 180 odd bhp?)

ignore me its too late, im 19 not 18 haha

ive got brembo max and greenstuff pads on my 172, they are brilliant for normal/light fast road use as you get basically no brake dust. but they fade to quick for my liking after only a few times using them, ill probably go for DS2500 next time, be keeping the brembo max disks tho their fine.

mk2 clios handle pants on just -60mm springs, you need atleat a full kit, i had an apex kit on my old one before i replaced it with FK Coilovers. handled well on that. you will be fine with just springs if you get eibachs but to many manufacturers out there just look at springs as "shorter +...

mk2 ph2/ph3 you can turn the tweeter cover anti-clockwise to remove it, not sure if you can remove them or not though this way

WTF surely you can get it cheaper than that? i pay £300 less than you at 18 with a 172!

ive got a 1.2 16v mk3 to fly about in, its awesome! after 60k miles its loosened up brilliantly, and weird thing is it has much more torque than the 1.2 16v mk2 i drive about in :S 25mph in th gear is no problem in the mk3 but not in the mk2, must be the different ratio gearbox?

non RS MK3's drive much better than non RS MK2's, much better gearbox/linkage, better engine mounts, better ride quality, better steering just feels much better, never driven a 197 so cant compair that.

not far from my house i was going to pop up and watch too!! pretty tight isnt it! u seem to be a pretty good driver though! looks standard suspension wise too which shows just how good it is and how there is no need for fancy coilovers!

thats awesome!!!!

looking at getting a runabout that i can stick all my miles on. quite fancy a mk3 Dynamique S DCi86 with xenons what sort of price can dealers do these at as the list price is something crazy like £12,500 cheers

when we were at falkland all the results seemed acurate, i got 173bhp from a standard 172 (well it had an ITG pannel filter)

nokia charger from your local car phone wearhouse will probably give more gains than any mod you could do to the 1.2 16v which is made of cheese. i had a cooper S supercharger for mine just never got the time to do it lol

like your car, if it had the black headlights it would look 10x better though!

costs pennies to do on a 1.2 16v anyway its piss easy

cheers mate will do, i know their was a bit of movement but i just dont remember it being quite like this, its not that its bad just not 100% it did have powerflex lower bushes before though so maby i was just used to that piece of s**t.

dont fit the plug holes as well as the standard leads i also noticed that when fitting some for my mate. they do look pretty but the renault ones are expensive for a reason

my car didnt knock in the first place was just a bit of movement in the engine so done all 4

changed all 4 engine mounts on my 172 on tuesday with new genuine ones, but there still seems to be a bit of movement when slowing down at junctions or roundabouts as if the engine has chugged a bit or if you give it full throttle at low revs to go for a gap at a roundabout theres movement. i...
