Ok so 6500rpm it is, i'll start changing there ;) Or does it vary from clio to clio or car to car ? What i mean is would it vary if one had filter and another exahust and filetr etc ?

Interested in what shampoo to buy as well ;) As my chemical guys wash in wax is running low :(

What is the difference ? Is the cups ratios different or something ?

Anyone know ?

WHEN YOU GET CAR MILEAGE WISE MATE ? ;) So i get an idea ?

A quick one, How tough are the 172 gearboxes ? And do they take a pounding ? Or is it like a lucky dip ? One 172 gearbox is tough and another 172 one is not ? And what miles have you guys got on your cars ? And what gearbox are you's on ? Example. Me i'm at nearly 40,000 miles...

And what miles you on ?

If 166bhp is correct, We'll have 1.6 vti civics going past us as there 168bhp and a 9000 rpm rev limit:(

So its really a "clio 2.0 166 sport" ? lol :rasp: Not 172

I'll try and get a side on shot tomorrow :)

But how tough are the 172 gearboxes ? Will they take s**t ?

Practice makes perfect :) lol Ona private road of course ;) So forget about shift light i take it ?

Not bad for a 1.6 ;) Outta curiousity what miles is on it ? And is it well run in ?

bUMP, as i'd like to fit these gauges soon. I'd call My local Renault Dealer parts dept and ask hem the thread but there quite useless :(

Another silly post from me... LOL When do you's guys think the optimum time to change gear in a 172ff is when hammering it ? At a certain Revs ? (What revs though?) On the green shift light ? BEFORE THE GREEN LIGHT ? On limiter ? (or does this lose power) Or personal choice ...

..

Quite mixed replies in this post. So i take it the 172 has no chance against the CTR :(and the 182 has the edge ;) Or maybe it all depends on driver and how hard he hammers his/her car. :) Or when the clios 5k kick (VVTI ??) kicks in or CTR's VTEC kicks in :)

Lol Cheers dude ;)

cheers dude ;)

Standard 172ff alloys and not lwered as i'm aware :S Unless last owner lowered it as i haven't in the six months i've had it. Heres are pics of my car. Does atnyone think i looks any lower than normal ?:S

Cheers Fred, Did wonder ;)

Ah ok cheers dude.;) That'll be why you get grooved/drilled discs, to get rid of glazed pads and let hot gases out when braking :)

Cooked them ! ! Will they be ok whencooled down though ? :S

BUMP

I was just out for a wee blast in my "02" 172ff :) up a straight (private) road and back its about a mile or so long. I went up and down for a blast a few times then headed home again. (Curious to see what i got in each gear :rolleyes: haha) After a play about, i headed home and at the end...

BUMP

Anyone help me here ? As i don't want to take my oil pressure switch out the run a die down it for the size and lose my oil :( And i have no thread combs for that size :(

I raced a mk2 golf gti (8v as 16v's have beesting on roof and 8v's have it sticking out wing) ;) god knows what he had under his but it went like f**k as well ? He pee'd all over my in accelaration then at about 90 i caught up and was in line with him ;) I thought he was a 1.8 turbo or vr6...

At least i'm not on my own ;)
