Sweet!

Feel free to point me in the direction of some second hand 172 sus?

So how much is it to get it done? Or how hard is it to do it yourself? Is it thick metal? Would my step drill do it? :)

That's the sort of answer I was looking for in the first place, but I wanted to know if say, the FK (for example) coilovers they do for the 1.2's etc are any different from the sports other than the bolt spacing? If not, I personally couldn't see having one of the holes drilled up/down would...

Like I said, i'm after second hand decent coilies. I'm tight fisted - can't come to grips with spending that much on coilies. How many times do I have to say this? It's not that hard to understand, surely. For example I just missed out on a set of H&R's second hand for 370 odd. That's the sort...

What about a 58mm spacing (1.2 fitment) down to a 54mm? I'm not having trouble finding them, I just don't want to buy cheap g-maxx rebrands or spend 700+ on H&R's/FK's etc so am looking for decent coilies second hand.

thats what I said in my first post?

where's that mate?

any idea on how much this costs?

how about the other way round? (cup packed on non cup)

Has anyone drilled out coilies/uprated shocks from 52mm to 54mm? Is it possible? Is it safe? @) Fed up of not being able to find decent cheapish second hand shocks for my ph1 172 ;(

I was bidding on these also lol. Lost them last minute. I bid 350.

After 30mins searching, everyone claims the ph1 and ph2 are the same but then there's the odd few posts that say they dont :(

so the ph1 and ph2 have different bolt spacing? I'm mega confused now.

bump?

I average 32-32 in my 172 - work trips and evenings/weekend. If I was doing just work trips i'd get about 35-37 but then it gets knocked back down to 32 by the end of the week because of weekend fun and evenings. I could probably get about 38ish to and from work if I really drove like a *****.

Hi all, had a quick glance at the hinges earlier as i've bought a new bootlid to replace the one on the car currently, but they appear to be rounded looking things hoding the hinges to the car? does the interior trim that runs accross the top of the inside of the boot need to be removed or...

i re-routed it the same way i took it out as far as im aware. tried other routes too. the design is stupid. im tempted to remove all the sound proofing ;/

Might grease up the accelerator cable. Don't understand why it'd be sticking though when it's brand new? Throttlebody flicks back fine off the cable.

Hi all. Changed my accelerator cable the other week as the cable was sticking (common on the ph1 172's I know) so I went to Renault and bought a new cable but it's still sticking and isn't smooth - still feels notchy and sticks at 2-3k revs when you slightly let on the throttle. Blipping the...

Do you meet in tamworth often?

bargain

Christ knows. What was even funnier, when I rang up to order the cable or to check it was in stock and had the part number handy, he said he'd prefer to sit and go through all my car details (chassis number, year, model, reg) then at the end i asked him what the part number was and voila.. the...

I'll mention that tomorow then. Rang them earlier and they said they don't do phone orders so i've got to go in to order a b*****d cable then go back and collect it a few days later. Crazy. Even Peugeot take phone orders. Will also mention about the spring tomorow too and report back.

I'm going to give renault a ring within the next hour so i'll let you know.

What a beast!

Any idea what the part number is for the spring mate? Might pick one up on the way home from work

I've pulled the cable through the sleeve from both sides and it comes through fine. I'm going to replace it though this weekend to be sure, but might check the return spring like you say as I have a feeling it might be that. Is it common for the return spring to distort/stretch over time and...
