Re: eibatchs pics please sportlines.... sits to high at the back but deffo lower than it was

i drove my coilovered one for the last time 2 weeks ago before it went, it was so slow but a hoot to drive! never smiled so much going down a backroad. it had the old smashed out cat jobbie too coz i couldnt find a decat for it lol then took 172 a run n shouted "oh ya b*****d" when i floored...

naa not a fan looks to close together n too big

only got a wee look at her but from what i saw i wudnt have pumped her

ive got 8 months warrenty left on my 172 :) already had a full new exhaust from them lol

i miss my 1.2 dynamique but its just because it was modded the way i wanted it, now that im starting to get the 172 the way i want it im enjoying it and starting to forget how awesome coilovers are!

Re: Djw Daves Turbo Clio Reincarnation Project thread you mean 1.2 brakes ;) hehe looking good guys cant wait to see it on track will be worth the wait, b******s that smashed it, my 172 got hit with a brick the day after i got it and ive still lost interest in it while im waiting on getting...

cant see them doing much being bolted in by self tappers, i welded my old 1 in lol, not welding anything onto the 172 tho!

i want my black dynamique back...... top marks mate it looks AWESOME!

like the wheels and front splitter.

15's = the future

i ran over a fat b*****d of a cat in my old 1.2 with the coilovers set to their stiffest setting the fuking thing went up on 2 wheels! was not a nice feeling! also came flying round a bend once to hear my mate scream "famous grouse" and my splitter de'headed the poor thing, i thought you could...

kinda in between falkirk and stirling mate, not had the 172 at a meet yet, need to get it along to one soon. had the old 1.2 at a couple!

cheers mate, not got much money to spend on it being only 18 with the price of running it! so far its got the sportlines, cup splitter, civic type R ariel, osram diadem indicator bulbs up front, standard uk plates from fancy plates.co.uk (look much cleaner stuck on rather than the screwed on...

dont talk filth!!!! yeah thats the one john lights have been changed tho!? cant see their been 2 identical? maby tho u know what birds wi spare cash are like.

you can clean any foam/cotton filter though with a filter cleaning kit? just your kit came supplyed with one eather that or you bought it?

imo a hot hatch is when a manufacturer takes its economical non performance car (clio, corsa, saxo, 106, starlet, 205 etc) and develops it to handle well and sticks a resonably powerfull engine in it (something thats MUCH MUCH more powerful than that cars ever going to need for the purpose it...

i like this idea!

if you floor it off the lights in the wet then its going to cut in, i find in the dry tho it cuts in when it really shouldnt when launching and you get a better start if its off. i only use it for when im not driving hard and something catches me out such as surface water etc

Thats cruel!!! lol

i picked up my old 1.2 box with 8k miles on it for £80, and afaik they fit the 1.6 16v, infact they fit the 172 too! lol obviously the 1.6 box was designed for a reason but i cant see the 1.6 having too much power for the 1.2 box to handle (this is assuming it is a 1.6 you have? im just...

my 2002 1.2 16v was on 140k miles and running better than ever, one of the quickest 1.2s ive ever driven (not that you get any quick ones lol!!) as said on modern engines 100k+ is nothing, even for a renault! as long as its not been abused it'll be perfect

use chewing gum to put a poind coin in the hole. any local garage should weld it for you for cheap id think.

pmsl

always rollin wi the xenons of course! u taught me well... car its self was actually ok paint job looked pretty good, kit was at least fitted properly, exhaust didnt sound to bad, wheels looked ok just the rear clusters spoiled it and found the "Pink my ride" sticker a bit weird lol

just so you can see mate heres a pic with sportlines and cup splitter. i know i really really should invest in a digital cammera been saying that since i was about 15!! lol but phone pics will need to do for now! Back end sits a bit higher than the front which annoys me!

hmmmmmmmmmmm........

really a panel filter is a panel filter, ive got an ITG in my 172 and a K&N in my 1.2, small gain noticed on the 172 with ITG but really that would probably have been noticed with any panel filter!

mine made 83bhp on the rollers (+8bhp over standard, but we all know what R/R's are like) it had.... Powerflow Cat Back Stainless System Decat K&N Pannel Filter Modified Airbox to allow it to hold more air and suck in more air Larger cold air feed was fun while it lasted, dont regret...

the dealer that sold my car had to replace the centre section with a new one a week after i picked up the car, unfortunately its one of they cheap shite things that quickfit etc use and its bollox, the bends are much narrower than the standard renault system meaning its loosing power over...
