black bit on back bumper is colour coded too. never knew they got snow in france!

my lights are dimming big style when using my electric windows and they are going really slow, does it with the engine on or off so dont know what it is, probably both battery and alternator fuked in my case!

i was told it was the Rolling Radius that kills the smaller engines, not sure about the bigger ones.

cant drive mate

yep, i know what im like go and buy myself some 2.0 turbo jap thing and id wrap it round a lamp post the day i got it. possibly a golf GTi to start with, but nothing faster

to be honest even if i won the lottery i wouldnt buy anything like an F430 or SLR, somthing like a 1.6 for a year thats still resonably nippy then after a year get a 2.0 then work your way up.

Open the boot, remove the 2 screws at each side and 2 in the middle with the Torx screw driver from your took kit. pull old spoiler off, unclip connector to brake light and pull off washer tube from the spoiler. connect the brake light cable and washer tube to the new spoiler. sit the...

Williams is out of the question mate untill your atleast 18 with 1yrs ncb but even at that your talking near enough £3,000! VTR i know a couple of people at 17 driving them but they get ripped off mega style too! there is quite a lot of us here with 1.2 16v Dynamiques for first cars at 17...

An air filter is a consumable item so the way I see it is your just changing it for a better, longer lasting item. just like you wouldnt declair upgraded wiper blades or headlight bulbs!

engine restriction idea is good in someways but bad in others, i know i would rather be in a 172 with a 18yr old who knows about cars rather than someone who doesnt have a clue how a car will and can react but just likes to go fast (such as my dad who has been driving for 20 years but doesnt...

get clear side repeaters like said above mate, little tip though get the genuine renault ones, i got ones from K-Tec and they're cheap and nastly and even although they say they are for a clio i needed to mod them with a stanley to fit because they were for a megane. they also let in water...

Al's old Dynamique had anthracite (trophy colour) MK2 172 wheels, looked good id keep them silver though mate, think they look best that way

my blower fan has got REALLY REALLY noisy for some reason and seems to be cutting out for a second or 2 every once in a while, think its needing replaced. anyone know where about behind the dash it is and how to get to it? also how much will a new fan cost assuming thats all thats needing replaced

what sort of millage would one for £295 have on it matt

get 1 mate im able to keep up with my dads evo now that ive got 1 fitted to my 1.2 16v even my dad said he should have saved the money and just got a clio with 1 of these instead of the evo :clown: i hear the clio cup racers use them too ;)

u sure it needs a rebuild? mine is at 120,000 and still fine, i know freds is at about 80,000 and has done loads of track days and is still fine the more miles they do the faster they go!

lower it on 16s and they look just right, 17s look to big on them. most 172/182 owners buy the car because of the handling and performance not just beacuse it has fancy bumpers and seats, so why waste it with bigger wheels?

if its a 1.2 16v you have get an induction kit with a k-tec relocation kit, if not get a pannel filter for your standard air box.

how mean does that thing look with the intercooler :D :D cant wait to see this thing go when its finished

after seeing pics of the apex -60mm kit (fitting mine on satarday) i can see me going for coilovers soon, not near low enough for me lol been looking at to many pics of freds!

yass so i wont be the only 1.2 going down then LOL

I got my 4Mb upgrade about 3 months ago im in falkirk.

im trying to find out the exact same thing mate. The foglights plug into the car behind the bumper on the passengers side, as far as i know most expressions are wired for foglights so i think all you need to do is fit the actual lights themself, plug them in and change the steeringwheel stalk...

I should be up for it, will have just passed my test about a month and a half max before it though so i'll see nearer the time, just the thought of a 5 hour drive down and 5 hour drive up! plus got my college final exam on monday the 29th, day after!

Nothing special!

some of the early Phase 2's have 52mm but 90% of them are 58mm inc my 02 plate car. This is for Expressions and Dynamiques but i assume the authentique is the same

when i go above 60mph i hear water slushing about from somewhere near my sunroof my mates car does it do thats a 53 plate

its now sitting beside one of the nicest Astra GSI turbos ive seen, a black 1

You do have heated mirrors mate, even the expressions have them, they come on when you put the heated rear window on. The digital dials and new inlet manifold/throttle body came in mid 2004 when the Phase 3 was released (different front bumper, Grill, dials & inlet manifold)

Get a Ph1 so you cant use your bodykit.... The 172s get faster the more miles they have on them generally which is somthing to keep in mind, MK1 172 has as edde said the manual throttle body which makes it more responsive only thing i dont like about the MK1 172 is the dashboard. personally...
