Thanks for the pics. Sorry to be a pain , do you have a 100% side on pic?:) Would love to see the rear and front at the same time :)
Also since i have 15" will the car sit lower with sportlines compared to 16"?
Hi Martin,
Very nice example of a 172! I have the same car but my oem renault wheels are 15" as i'm in australia. Do you have pics of your car side on? Would like to see how much gap there is with the sportslines on :)
Cheers,
K.
I totally agree here! I think i should top driving it for a month or more and it may feel quick again :)
When i first drove it, it was rapid as i came from a 1.5L 85bhp lol.
Hi,
I love those wheels!!! I have a Silver 172, which Ultralegg colour you think is best?
Also which colour is your ultralegg? Is that Graphite silver or matt black?
Looks really nice! What are their offset's in 16"? (Ultraleggs)
Also i have a silver 172FF which ultralegg will look best you think?
i.e. normal colour,matt graphite silver or matt black?:)
Cheers,
K.
lol :) I don't know, the 182 wheels appeal to me....
The other ones are turinis and superlegs but i think they only look good in 17" but i think 17" might be too heavy..
Hi Guys,
I have a silver 172 mk2. I have the stock wheels. If i was to go for the 182 anthracite wheels, will i notice a speed decrease? Or its negligible? Thats the only thing stopping me from buying the wheels!!!
Hi,
Very nice indeed :) What do you guys think of a silver 172 mk2 with the 182 anthracite wheels? Will it look good?:)
Also, did you notice any loss in acceleration with the 182 wheels? As i think they are heavier?
Thanks,
Kenn.
Hi,
thx guys for the replies. yeah the aussie spec r's are just the same as the normal i think they just come with more equipment. The car didnt need importing as australia sells the s15 locally. its definitely 147kW. I think that equates to 197bhp. So i guess a straight line nothing in it up...
Hi,
Its an AUS spec. I'm from sydney australia :)
It has 147kW or 197bhp.
Spec R, comes with sunroof.so heavier lol.
On the 200sx.org site it states 0-60 in 6.9Secs......
Not sure what my 172 does. never timed it ehheh.
Thanks for that. Reason i asked is because my mate just got one. A 2001 model. I actually drove it tonight i went to around 6000rpm and to tell you the truth in stock form i couldn't really feel the turbo kick. I can feel the engine become torquer(spelling?) when it hit around 4000rpm. It didn't...
Hi Guys,
Just wondering on a 0-60mph (0-100km/h) drag, would these cars be close? i.e. no difference? If not which one is the winner?
Note: i'm referring to the 197bhp version of the s15.
Also both stock.
Cheers,
K.
Anyone here using Philips or Osram 6000K D2S xenon(HID) bulbs? I think the OEM ones are 4300K or so. Anyone got pics?:)
Also are the oem's on the Clio osram or philips?
Hi Guys,
I will try the acoustic valve removal, but people say after i do this its going to suck/blow hot air?
Also i think i may give the ITG Panel Filter a try, i doubt if it will make any audible difference?
Thanks,
Kenn.
Thanks for that. Sounds harder than i thought!
Anything mechanical for me is hard :)
By the way if i was to just repleace the OEM panel filter with an ITG Panel filter will i get better induction sound?
Thanks,
Kenn.
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help me identifying the acoustic valve and how do i bypass it? A picture demonstration would be best :)
Thanks,
Kenn.
Hi Guys,
Anyone here know if fitting the clio 172 mk2 with the ITG Air Filter(panel) - flat will make a nice sound? Or i won't notice it at all?
Also is it easy to fit?
Thanks,
Kenn.
