lol too scared to do it himself incase he brakes a nail! becker ones suit the dash but id have the pioneer

your engine has a plastic inlet manifold which will blow apart if you run any decent amount of boost, best bet is to get a new 1 made up, loads of people have looked into turbo'ing a 1.2 inc mylself but its just not worth it, i wanted to do it not for performance but just to be different but for...

i got 2 new replacement front dampers from apex, ordered them and they were here the next day, well at my local performance place the next day

the proper way? i dont see whats not proper about buying and insuring a car ive wanted since it was released, i dont work long hard shifts to save my money up and not spend it ;) going to get another years ncb and then think about it again

no point modding mine to a 172/182 as insurance will be an even bigger problem with a conversion

coz ive already got a mint 1.2 16v, dont want it to look like a 172/182 coz its not, im not wanting to pay £3k a year insurance for a good looking car lol i need somethin thats got power lol

you got any NCB mate ^ to be honest dont really mind paying £3,000+ a year if thats what it takes. working full time now and looking for a new car and seen a a racing blue with the stripes that i like lol

anyone here 18 with a 172/182? sure i remember subway being 18 with a cup? if so what you paying for insurance in your own name? any ncb etc etc. cheers

yeah if you look at cups they do seem to sit higher than normal(or so it looks anyway), i thought it was just the different wheels giving this look tho! couldnt work out what it was, think people get confused with the 182 cup which has the cup pack suspension which is 3mm lower but in reality...

seems to be a common problem in winter i remember last year about 40 posts in one day with people complaining about it!! renault replace the dials under warenty but they cant correct the millage so it goes back to 0, and can look dodgey when you come to selling the car...

thats the one i looked at ages ago, probably go for that, wasnt planning on buying the k-tec one just wondering why its so expensive cheers

ah right cheers

i wasnt asking if it was worth it, and i dont want it to make my car a 172, if i wanted to make my car a 172 id have bought one, to un reliable for me ;) anyway, most online places are selling sports cats for £250-ish so anyone know anything about this k-tec one and why its so expensive? i...

whats so special about K-Tec's new Sports-Cat for the 1.2 16v that makes it worth the £350?!?!?! Motorsport World quoted me £440 for a full stainless steath system with sports cat, and they charge £300 for a cat back stealth so were talking £140 for the sports cat alone?

ive tried loads of different inductionk its inc K&N, PiperX, universal ones etc and none sounded loud like my airbox, they gave it a slightly deeper noise which i thought was good at the time but now i cant even hear them if i try them again lol

im using the standard 259mm disks same as you al with a set of green stuff pads and they never fade, infact once they get up to temperature they bite twice as hard lol really need to change my fluid too tho!

pads are really good im using them, my mate usually refers to EBC disks as "chocolate disks" tho lol so id avoid them. im using standard 259mm disks and green stuff pads and they dont have stop when they get a bit of heat in them

so with a set of FKs with no mods required i can go -85mm, sweeeet lol

Re: Cliosport Calender 2007 is there any chance there will be a non RenaultSport and a RenaultSport calender? i think that would be a good idea, as theres more chance of us non RenaultSport guys getting in it!!

the rear is no problem, ideally for the front you want the wings and side skirts as they all match up. a good body shop should be able to fit the 172/182 front bumper with your standard wings and no side skirts but it still wont look perfect. no point in putting bumpers on and not the skirts...

use your current wheel bolts?

thinking of getting FK's for the 1.2, just wondering how low i can go on 15s without removing the arch liners (removed one before and my headlight got covered in water and kept clouding up! i know freds is lowered 110mm+ how was this done, id be happy with -80mm tho to be honest EDIT: also...

pi are in between they 2 aswell lol

take the stripes off and it will look mint, does really need a splitter tho just looks unfinished without one!

paint your new springs black and play ignorant if they notice anything, your no mechanic the car was like that when you got it lol

-60mm springs would kill 172/182 standard dampers VERY quickly id have thought!

open the glove box and you can get ur fingers under it to pull it off, dont worry it wont snap off lol, passengers side if you have small fingers pull at it, if not as john said cloth and a screwdriver

I hate 99% of kits, but that carzone kit is the worst looking one ive ever seen, i hate it with a passion

i get it on the 1.2 cleared it a bit when i changed the gearbox mount but then 3 weeks later it was back, bushes arnt up to much in these mounts to be honest, trying the k-tec uprated ones this month to see how it goes

just get an off the shelf one that you like, id avoid peco tho, most custom places will do you a backbox with tailpipe of your choice for about £150 -£170 ish or £250-£300 for a cat-back
