Ditto, its very good, i got it chucked in by my dealer, worth £650 i think :) Good for resale on the non 172 models as well.

Yeah top it up, i think Mobil do the best? Magnatec something or other..the stuff which doesnt need warming up to work.

Yeah i know that mag really is a pile of sh*t. They have a corsavan rated over a 172!? Because it has the maxfactor...hmmm. When will they learn the only reason their mag sells well is because of the tits? Some of the cars theyve featured recently have been really really bad, they should have...

Yeah you get the torsion bar adjusted, the problem being some are seized so are very difficult to change! Im not sure if you can get uprated ones, because you can only lower it, not stiffen it. You basically can lower it by as many notches as you want, i think one notch is equal to roughly 20mm?

Same for me when i come back from southend, i swear my 1.2 does 0-60 inunder 6 secs :) Must be the optimax!!

Stop with the white wheels!! I hope to fit this bloody stainless steel grille from k-tec Summertime i might take the trip to Dorset to get the spax suspension/damper kit fitted and also the fast road discs and kevlar pads. Im looking at £400 not including whatever they charge for labour...

Its 7.6

Is that just for replacement springs? How about dampers?

N reg valvers are only worth £2600

Prima racing import elia stuff

Oh yeah. BenR told me that the MK2 clio cup racers are actually mk1s with a new style look, maybe this is the same? The front looks good, the back looks cheap and crappy though.

Ah rite. Ok well thanks for helping out. Im actually more bothered about improvement in ride, handling would just be a bonus. Think ill give up on that idea, whats the best aftermarket 1.2 suspension then? -Rob

My views arent quite as pro-abs as before thanks to the recent weather probs but i still think they are a neccessary safety device for the general driver, as are airbags and seatbelts. You dont always see everything whilst driving and on the occasions you have to react very quickly it is human...

Dont. It looks good as it is.

Rich-D - The pug at least used to have a list price of £11,795 so they are actually direct comparisons. The Cup is a very good car, the fact it doesnt have abs is a problem for me but i think it will get cult car status no problem!!

White wheels tend to look sh*t in my opinion, but anyway, you need a method called powder coating. I think most bodyshops can do it.

Yeah i was slightly worried about the title too! Nice motor!

Damn. How about if i just replaced the springs and dampers, any problems with that? Any ideas how much lower my car would be?

Well if he actually uses it as a rally car that wouldnt be the best idea

Some forum users are saying theyre wont be any at all and its all bullsh*t??????

Im sure the new clio will share engines as renault own nissan. The new micra engine is very impressive (1.2) Im not sure about torque but power is 85bhp, 10bhp more than the current 16vs. I just hope the new model appeals to us..it will be interesting to see what the renault designers will come...

Howd you know its a mk1 interior, i think it looks just as much mk2 ?? I dont mind it, black is the wrong colour in my opinion though. Gold wheels are getting a bit passe too. You must need huge spacers for that kit though which isnt a good idea. I wonder if its a genuine 172? It would be...

I think Tomclio might know more about this but yeah i think there is a chip available. Filters arent a problem, you can get universal fitting ones from most of the major brands. Might be worth going to powerflow for the exhaust, theyre cheap, not the best but can offer a sound suited to your...
