cheers :) the gaz coilovers just seemed a better option, with the damping adjustability. So i bit the bullet and bought those instead. the car feels completley different to drive now, the handling is 1000x better, feels more connected with the road. The ride is perfect aswel, a big improvement...

little update: fitted my new rear calipers today. new, fresh gearbox oil and brake fluid new handbrake cable going to wash the car tomorrow, seen as we have no more snow. So i'll get pics up of it on the coilovers then :)

how are running costs shocking on the 197? In what way?

the ph1 is less than i thought! :) 1035kg's i just wanted to know the standard weight, for me to have a rough idea of how much it weighs now.

i should be up for a meet in the new year, weather is too bad to have any this month.

UPDATE: well i ended up buying Gaz coilovers on saturday, height and damping adjusable. so i fitted them along with the eibach camber bolts. the car is sat about 55-60mm at the moment, im really pleased with the suspension set up, car looks spot on and feels alot more precise and firm. ive...

Hi there. Ive owned my Ph1 172 for just over a year now, and have loved every minute of it. I bought the car completley standard and have put alot of time and effort into the car over the 12 months of owning it. Being one of the first produced, it came with the alloy bonnet and gear change...

has anyone on here removed the a/c off their clio sport's im in the middle of doing my ph 172 did you notice any slight difference, with less strain on the engine? cheers gez :)

as said, the redtop engines are quite tunable. and more so if its the older 20xe with the coscast head. the thing i find rubbish with the redtop is the gearbox, the f20 is too long for it. there would probably be nothing in it between the clio and corsa. and thats if the xe engine is a good 'un
