The only change I ever have a problem with is 2nd to 3rd, and for some reason I only miss that change when Im racing on a 1/4 mile strip!

Do you mean its difficult to change gear? No it should be easy at all engine speeds. Take it back to the dealer if you arent happy. Oh, and welcome to Cliosport :)

Nice! Nice rims too. Sorry to be a pain but do you have a closer picture?

Which Tarox brakes do you have? Is it the 40-groove discs?

Silver goes with everything I think.

Any pics coolspot??

Yeah I wondered about that, but a bit worried it might turn out a mess. Anyone done it? Pics?

OK I got some nice new rims, and now I can see a lot more of the brake caliper, pipes etc. I plan to get some grooved discs soon, but other than that what can I do to make this look good? Its a mess! http://www.mike.easley.dsl.pipex.com/brake1.jpg

Nope, Im waiting for one too. Ring David tomorrow and have a word will you?

26th October is FREE Rhys!

Just get an Eibach Pro kit - dont worry about all those numbers.

As Jon says, 600 or 700 miles then up it gradually. If you can do this over a few long journeys so much the better. The gearchange light is just a warning that the limiters about to kick in. Peak power is reached at about 6500 or even less, so changing before you see the light is optimum.

If youre at all unsure Id take it to an exhaust centre or a local garage if theres one you can trust. At the very least youll need proper jacks and axle-stands - working on stuff underneath the car is a pig if you dont have ramps.

Welcome Mike, and thanks for the offer of advice - we need all the help we can get :D

Thats a really good price. I had 2 done on my 93 RT and it cost £200. Tip - if you can afford it get the other side done as soon as you can. It cant be in a much better state than the one you just replaced, and you seem to have found a garage that doesnt charge too much.

Thanks Tony, thats what I was after, an all-rounder.

Mille Miglia HT3. They look like this, but Ill be getting 17"s - these look like 16"s. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1063375214__17.jpg

Im getting some Falkens (FK451) tomorrow Tony (with my new wheels :D:D:D:D) Does that site list them?? Geoff had them on his 172 - he said they were fine.

I put a Pipercross one in mine, made no difference to the sound or performance as far as I could tell. There are no real problems with these as they just replace the OE filter. The main advantage is that you can clean and re-use the filter instead of buying a new one.

LOL, but you own Cliosport car of the year eh? So what does that say about Cliosport? ;)

cost too... theyre really expensive for what they do. More like a fashion statement really.

My 172 is paid for with a company car allowance - I need something reasonably sensible as its no good turning up at a customer site all sweaty etc. Climate Control & comfy seats essential! You wont notice a performance difference between Cup / 172 on the road, both are utterly stunning...

Hey matt hows it going mate? Donington revisited next month??

Welcome :D Dont trust anyone with more than 2 stars, thyre probably trying to get you to do a trackday, 1/4 mile session, a show or something awful like that :p

If you still want to get this done, have a word with London Superchips. http://www.london.superchips.co.ukhttp://www.london.superchips.co.uk Theyve done work for quite a few people on here and they seem to know what theyre doing.

I doubt anyone at Renault will give the ok to attack brake calipers - theyre pretty fundamental after all. The calipers wont move with new pads - just the pistons within them. The offset is the distance in mm between the centre of the wheel (horizontally) and the actual mating surface - so it...

Nice review here: http://www.cliosport.net/articles/ap22/ap22.asphttp://www.cliosport.net/articles/ap22/ap22.asp

Are the wheels 7" or 7.5"? ET40 on 7 x 17 should fit ok. 7.5 x 17 may be marginal.

Ask Paddymph hes had one fitted to his 172.

What sort of wheels are they - and what is the offset of the wheels (marked on the inside of the rim usually)??
