The one Chic posted up is absolutely stunning. I'd love that!
Theres a massive sticky pad on the back of the passengers side front wheel, looks like a weight was once there! lol.
The suspension is actually very good. Not hard or crashy at all. I haven't given it full rice and pea yet because of the fuel pipe, but so far impressed with how its been setup!
Lots! :)
remove the whole front end and refit as its all just placed loosely atm.
strip down/clean/refit all the brakes
Put a phase 2 172 interior in it (Don't worry, i'm leaving the buckets/harnesses in!)
Get the wheels balanced as my teeth can't handle it!
Then give a full on valet...
Brakes are getting there, slowly but surely. Going to strip them all down this weekend.
I've had the fuel pipe above the aux belt temporarily repaired, but its a pressure hose so needs to be replaced asap. Its on order from Renault at the minute.

It came off a bit easier but not a lot! lol.
Just picked it up from the garage, it drives bloody mint! Suspension is very good. Although I'm a bit short compared to your lanky self so i'm a bit stretched!!

Cosmetically yeah. Although now its stripped with coilovers, buckets harnesses etc. Unsure of under the bonnet as I didn't even lift it up! Just whacked it on the trailer and dropped it off at the workshop.
Picking it up tomorrow so I'll get some pics up then. :D
A little update, its now running sweet as a nut. :D Just had it serviced and completely checked over. Just need to wait for a new fuel pipe from Renault (its on back order.....) and then i'm good to go!
I don't really know what I was thinking with that sticker, thankfully James took it off.

FFS. I'm such a prick.
There will be no sale of turinis!
I sold it to MrMahoosive on here. He's kept it mint to be fair! Plus fitted coilovers/buckets etc. I kept it right uptogether before I sold it. Cambelt/auxbelt, smoothed bonnet, yadda yadda yadda, I've now Just a few niggly electrical bits to sort hopefully...
My first ever 172. I sold it nearly three years ago to a member off here but tonight after a few emails back and forth, I bought it back. After owning about 9 172's in the middle, this is by far the best Renaultsport I have ever owned!!! I can't get pics now obviously as its nearly 1am and...
