My 172 is hotter but still doesn´t rev as much;) I would prefer 5 close ratios and sixt for motorway cruising. Just my 2 cent:)

I would consider the 197 if i wasn´t for that silly gearing. Almost 4k revs at motorwayspeed (110-120 km/h were i live). Not much tyre or windnoise so the enginenoise becomes very obvious. Who uses 6th on trackdays or when racing at the lights???

Had a one hour testdrive in a 197 with 600 miles on the clock yesterday, and my mate drove my ph quick(42k). Needles to say my 172 was a fair bit quicker up to 80-90mph, but after that it was close. I would leave myself, in the 172, behind on a twisty road if i was to drive the 197. It feels so...

I have used Castrol Rs 10w-60 for 2years since i do trackdays and the oil gets very hot in the clio, up to 145 degrees! I thought a 10w-60 oil was the right oil to use when running that hot? Am i wrong? Oilcooler is next on my wishlist.

It was the inner joint that was worn and it could not be bought as a spare part, thats why.

I had to replace the right hand side driveshaft because the cv boot had cracked and the joint was fucked. There was a rumbling/vibrating when turning left and accelerating. Lars

Looks great!! Are you a professional racedriver?;)

I changed mine to TRJ and its brill. It says its for JB,JC,JH and JR boxes on the can so its fine in a 172.

If you know the losses on the rollers you can get pretty accurate transmissionloss figures. When you let of the gas you measure the time it takes for the rollers to stop. Lars

Titanium silver, -2000. 31K. Tickover is smoother on my mates Mk2.

They will fit. Lars

7". Fact Lars

I have had the same problem exept i went through a hedge into a graveyard. Lucky i didnt hit a tombstone. Speed as brake was applied was 10mph:confused: A friend of mine who drives slalom/SS with his 172 has installed a switch to turn the ABS off, otherwise it wont brake while turning hard.

Yes they will because they stick out more. ET 37.5

ET 43 i think. Lars

I have had the same problem, engine nice and warm then suddenly the temp gauge drops to half of normal temp. Has been ok for 2months though???

Good response to this post heh? You know there is a difference in gearing from ph1 to ph2:D

Tip: Use the search function. You will find lots. Lars

K-tec is about to make one.

No problem. Its only the damper who doesnt like getting new/different springs. New dampers+old springs is ok.

Anyone else had the same problem?

Number on the things ive got. Springs:10-75-001-02-22 Dampers:60-75-001-01-22 Kit, (dampers+springs):70-75-001-01-22

The kit in the same for all modells exept 1.2 Go check on www.eibach.de

Was going to fit my Eibach Pro System yesterday, pro system includes the Pro dampers as well as the springs. There was one complication though so just springs had to do. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079935846__DSCN0872.jpg

Bought 12litres dirt cheap so i am going to use it. Could it be harmful for the engine Ben? Lars

Mine is an ex demo car. Never had a mechanical prblem except "knocking under....". It now has 30k on the clock. I think redlining it 20 sec after start is BAD! but taking it to 5k after 2 mins is nowhere neat as bad to the engine(i would not do it)

The Mk1 seems to have the limiter at 7000 rpm from 3rd gear. At least mine.
