Bought myself a 172 cup today. Cliosport tax holder & sticker. Coilovers (Potentially Gaz going by the overhaul receipts) V6 Airbox & Stealth system. Just wondered if the previous owner was on here.

Finishes at 7 tonight, close to reserve.

No it was already fitted when i bought the car, i have been told that it may be a faulty injector but i didnt prioritise looking at it and just drove it on petrol anytime i used it.

Yes the car is mine mate :) It has a 47 litre tank, and was installed in 2005, done by A1 Autogas in Liverpool, using an OMVL based kit from what k can gather checking the history back. I have a price in mind yes, feel free to pm me :)

Hi all, selling my 172, have spent a fair bit on it in the time i've had it. Looking to sell it to buy something cheaper for the minute, needing money for other things at the moment. I think i've priced it cheaply but open to C & C http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2620199.htm

Yeah i've noticed that reading through certain topics but hey it's only the internet at the end of the day, not going to cry over it. A bit disencouraging when i've only recently started to regularly use the site & paid for membership :)

It was pissing down with rain, i was soaked to the f**king skin, i took a picture, realised what i had done in haste, corrected it and went inside to dry off. Sheesh :rolleyes:

Awesome read, what a transformation!

Yeah i did notice i had put it one upside down after i took the picture i've flipped it the other way now. I dont get what you mean about removing all the subframe end bush ? The old bushes were fully removed, and i was left with the bare mount minus bushes ? Maybe the picture isnt very...

Small update, had it back together for about 10 days and really enjoying it. Need new starter relay ASAP though. Took the Renault & Sport badges off, just screamed Halfords badge at me :lol: Out and about in the recent good weather.

Thanks for the comments. Main reason for doing the belts was because i worked as a tech at Renault and at least once they are done thats them out the way and for the peace of mind, i got the parts at staff price too which helped. I have a couple of claybar's i've gathered over time, already...

All required parts arrived and its now fully assembled and in use :) Didnt take pics of the rebuild as it was too cold for pissing about. Loving it so far.

While i'm on the computer i may as well stick up a project log for my 172. I've had many Vauxhalls and recently parted with my much loved self built XE Corsa. So bought an E36 325 M3 Rep after selling the XE Corsa, but i just wasnt feeling the love for it. Stuck it up for sale and a...

Think i've seen the red one at Crail along with another red one.

Previous owner of my car mentioned the speedo wasnt working when i bought. Having worked for Renault as a tech for a few years i had replaced a few speedo sensors, today i went to remove the sensor for the part no to order a new one. I discovered i have no sensor, and no hole for it. Has...

Thanks folks. Wheels are bubbling up a bit, and the centres are flaking, i fancy doing them gold, or maybe a lighter gunmental/anthracite colour.

Re: My Phase 2 172FF Double Post.

Re: My Phase 2 172FF Thanks man, whys it not a FF ? I'm a bit rusty on the Renault scene been over a year since i worked for the Renault dealership

Re: My Phase 2 172FF Thanks mate, need to get my wheels refurbished but wanted to get the Polybushes & belts done before i start using it, used to work as a Renault tech so i know the intervals are strict and the aux belts looking like its seen better days lol.

Decent day today, so thought i'd give the Clio a well needed clean as i dont think the previous keeper cleaned it much. My genuine timing & auxiliry belt kits arrived today so fitting them tomorrow so i can finally take it out and give it a good seeing to. Also polybushed my dogbone mount...

lel. fancy meeting you here

Welcome, i'm new also but can give some advise! Belt intervals are 5 years/72k, ARB bushes are bad for perishing, engine mounts particularly the dogbone are prone for wear, usually obvious signs of this (difficult gear chane, usually able to rock the engine excessivly also) Check the bonnet...

Hello all, i signed up a long time ago, as i was looking into buying a MK1 Clio 16v, never went through with it in the end. I'm Archie, 22, from Ayrshire. Had about 30 cars in the 5 years of driving, mostly Vauxhalls. Recently sold my Valver Corsa that i built myself, and got an E36 325...

CRX DelSol seats are pretty damn comfy, but not the best looking, especially if there going into a 172...
