foook a place called the arnison centre i rarely go up i normally go up with my gf's bro when he can be bothered its a massive car park and i'd say atleast 200+ cars plenty of crashes happen now and then, ploice close gates at 10 or something one night everyone honked their horn the noise was...
i'm sure some garages wont go over ur car with such a fine comb to notice u dont have washer jets, i wud swap mine over but its finding a decent pair and i like the black surrounds not ghey plus people will think/know for def its a 172 then :(
yea your right!
it must be the whole freaking area then no wonder i had a whole car full of chavs trying to catch me in a vectra on saturday night at 1 in the morning in bishop auckland
"i'll grab me shotgun"
i live in a place called "newton aycliffe" its slowly starting to become a polish town we only had a population of about 3000 and the polish wont take that long to near it and trust me its now worse! imagine chav vs the poles

i've just thought, what do you drive ben? apart from people round the bend that is..... lol
nah 150mph without struggling to much is definitely worth a few magic beans and the bank manager's gonna be pouring them into a bag for me soon :)
yea but my point is, isnt it just the omp one polished up? and a momo sticker slapped on it? just u can get the omp for 60 and i cud polish it up myself
mine wont do 150 more like 135mph b4 it really just caning it for an extra couple of miles per hour, i'd prefer if the car was capable of doing 170 i'd never take it that far i wudnt go above 150mph but knowing i'm not caning it full beaners at 150mph wud be gr8
and yea heel and toe exactly...

if you find a place were you can trust to fit it/have them check make sure everything is the ecu/uch/keys/key barrel then check everything over engine/gbox, then yes u shud be able to get it dun for about 2.5k but if you dont want any hassle just sell up and buy a sport,
i dont regret doing...
i've got the 2.0 172 lump in mine, it was a bit of work getting it done due to the immobiliser, then the gearbox went, i had a new one put in but it keeps chucking oil out of the breather and its been extended aswell and i need to replace 2 engine mounts now aswell, is a bit of a head ache but...
i dont know anywere in kent as i live in newcastle the garage that plonked the engine in charged me 600 but then it cost me about 600 to get it towed down to matt after vardies f*cked with me, matt coded it then i drove it him, 2 weeks later cost me another 400 quid for a new box and 250 quid to...

wont have those stats unless he did all the chopping and weight skimping that you've done though matty, you not get any more power through that lump? and what r u planning on going onto next anyways? i here jet engines are coming down in price these days
well think about my car then the dvla office kept telling me the mmisions are the same as the 1.2 to the 2.0 when i've changed it over the factory details are the same?
i told them how can a 2.0 produce the same emmisions as a 1.2 if the tax is higher? they told me that the details were the same...
3k seems a good price for a 6 speed box though! especially if it increases top speed to
more power + more speed = more fun :)
fun = money
money = work
work = sadness
sadness = fun
live life dont look back
i think the main thing is were all into our renaults tey may be french but were all int making them go fast and no matter which way people go about it shouldnt matter i mean there all putting more power into the same engine in the end?
maybe someone shud make a company to do stuff were the clio...
exactly fred! and to think i was actually thinking of getting a v6 2 days ago and changed my mind coz i'll just spin it and go through tyres faster :)
but it just irratates me, i wud just say no but its just the way they go on like there some underground crew and there untouchable makes me...
sorry i had to post this
but seriously everyone in my town and its only a small one thinks they have the fastest car around, now me owning a 172 i think fair enough i know its fast enough to make me shake but i dont go round saying yeah nothing can touch me!
there's plenty of nice cars...
yea but read ther other thread about gearboxes there so much more expensive and aint that guaranteed to withstand that much power and have to be rebuilt every couple of thousand miles!
yea i think we shud aim for the cheapest gear box and the quickest way to change them that way we wont be fussed if they break and we can pump as much power into them as we want
i think k-tec will keep looking to develop what their doing because its the only way forward
yea i was thinking that i mean how much does the turbo push out?
this is starting to annoy me now,
ben what do u think cud be causing oil to come out of my breather? cud it because of the movement due to the mount?
just been on sadev and saw this

isnt the box at the top for the 172?
it hasnt got a price but it seems like its built up to take more power
