Was the easiest thing in the end. if you pull the carpet away the grommet is there on the on the left. All wired in and sounds fantastic. Recommend the MacAudio 225 for anyone wanting a little bass but not wanting to lose the boot space.

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you on here that have given thier advice over the last few weeks. My 172 is on the road, have finally got some sounds wired in, and getting my running in done so i can blat it about. Maybe as an idea they could have a closed FAQs thread on owning a new...

Oh im more than up for it when its run in, lets say once around winter hill or cookham and back from town? To many Rozzers everywhere else! That may be the fella on my estate, no way i would let my misss drive my new toy, so that wasnt me!

Ive seen a golf with all its badges blacked out, along with its windows and dark grey alloys. Looks the absolute nuts! Do it!

Got mine in Blue, so NO making me drive fast if you spot me. Theres a few others from round our way on here isnt there? Have you put any sounds in your cup?

Maidenhead. Been lookin out for other peeps on the road, but havent seen any others on the road round here. (Apart from one on my estate)

Dust, your from Maidenhead/slough/windsor area aint you??

Best to keep to the reno recommendations, which is 650 miles below 3.5/4K revs. After that you can blast it, but dont expect to get top banana performance for 2500 miles. From wht ive heard on here, maxing it from day one give great laughs but murders your engine very quickly and are paying...

Hope you all had a gooe weekend! Anyway, Saturday afternoon and im on the drive trying to wire in amp etc. Dad asks how its going, "Easiest car ive ever tried to install" i reply! How wrong i was, the rcas and remote lead are in and easy to run but how the Funk are you supposed to get the power...

Sorry to change the direction slightly, but are 172s supposed to come with renault sport ones or just plain black ones?

Anyone got any good ideas on stopping them? I drive to work on the mway most mornings and my last car looked like it had been in a drive-by with all the holes in the front! And i wouldnt want my new like toy to get all scratchde up now would i?

Got mine last Saturday and have put 300 miles on it already. Think my estimate of 10K a year might be a little out!

Dootchy, thats the exact fault with mine. Its on the passenger side though on mine.......

What size are the standard speakers in the front?

The spanner monkeys. lol

Does anyone else get a slight knock when they reverse thier car and then drive forward on thier 172. Only seems to happen when you first start up and its nothing major (I hope). Is it the brake catching or something?

Good point, was just being lazy! Did you rewire the lot or use the original lot and just hook the rest of it up?

Do you think Reno might try a RWD Clio and Megane in the shapes? Sorta V6 style, or front engined rwd? Could be a really mental moter if they did, up the power and rwd, scare some real big sports cars then!

Check out incarexpress.co.uk they have very very good deals on components. Going to do mine, but trying to find out if you can leave the existing prossover in (If there is one) rather than try and rewire the door!

If you swap out the OS mids and tweets, can you leave in the existing cross overs??

Take it like the 172 there isnt alot you can add as an option. Do you reckon they might do a megane cup, that would be interesting??

How much Wez? On the road, and have you got any options??

Just got my 172, so shall wait for the new shape or the megane rs. Havent even run in mine and its outta date. Boo hoo, its like puying PCs

Thanks for the information Jeremy, are the options going to be available to buy and fit to the current 172? Only picked mine up Saturday and think i would like to add those on to my 172?

Further to this, anywhere you can get it cheap on the net??

Thanks for the pointers, was the encoder having a laugh and not copying the files correctly. All solved now, and just how good are these things!!

Morning all. Hopefully if the weather is ok this weekend i am going to wire in my Mac amped box, any hints on running the cable to the back on a new 172. Dont really want to take out the Pass seat, is it an arse to run door the sills?? Also, can you use the existing wiring for the mids/Tweets...

Will give it a go tonight. IMHO the entire road network should be coated with that non slip surface, the traction on that stuff when pulling way in such fun. Oh and as for Induction noise, geez, what a sound.

Morning all, just started running in my 172 and wondered if people use the ESP function or look at it as a cheat option for poor drivers? Is is any good, and does the traction control interfere to much?

Looks like they have mated the 172 and cup and come out with a b*****d child of renaultsport. Take the best of both and sell it for more.
