How do you adjust the brake bias valve?
Ive notice the rear brakes more than before, this is after I lowered my car.
Id like to adjust back to before.
Is this the brake bias valve??

Hey mate, whats your thoughts on the H&R coilovers?
Im thinking of getting either H&R or KW coilovers. but Im leaning towards H&R at the moment.
The H&R is height adjustable but not the damper right?

Had my gearbox oil changed on my 172 at 30k service.
It feels alright when I drove it home, but now after 3 days, the gear change feels notchy and harder to change gear, not as smooth as before.
I think they just put in 3 litres... I thought the gearbox needs 4 litres?
anyone can help...
I went and do a superchip re-map, cos I had BMC installed.

You know how every morning when you crank up the car, it started very rough and sometimes have to start twice and after a mile of driving everything seems fine again. I think its all to do with emission control.
Well, I started the car this morning, the car feels smooth, smooth to drive in the...

Wheres the best place to pick up cold air?

Whats the pipe size on the standard mid section? Is it 2" inch?
I had a custom mid section done. but the pipe work is 1 7/8 " instead of 2"
would it affect the performance?
Ive notice the low end pick up and throttle response is better, but mid to top end, from 4-7k rpm it revs up slower...
apparently they upped the power of a 172 from 172ps to 181ps
is it serial reprogram or a chip?

Does your front guard rub against the wheels when corners hard?
I just got 17" and theres a bump( plastic part) just behind the headlight under the wheel arch that will rub against the wheel when corner hard.
Did you guys take the plastic bit off?

I found a set of aftermarket rims.
16" X 6.5" with 205 tyres, and offset is 46.
Could it fit my Clio 172?
cos my rims are 15" X 7" offset 48
would the new rims increase the track distance or decrease it??
Hey, Im able to get these rims, they are jap brand, quite light.
17" inch, correct stud pattern and offset.
would this suit the look of Mk2 172?

I went a got a Remus exhaust for my 172, I dont like the duplex system so I went for the conventional twin tip style, same as the one on Yogis 172.
Thoughts:
not much louder than standard exhaust. When at Idle, u cant really hear it, rev to 2-3k theres a nice deep roaty sound to it. but over...
Changed my engine oil & filter last week plus its winter time down under.
So I decided to do a little 0-62mile test again.
with half a tank of fuel, I got a best time of 6.75 (using G-tech)
others are 7sec flat.
so 0-60 mile probably would be 6.5 eh?
Mk2 172 is not so slower than a...
Is it possible to change the oil filter on a 172 without draining the oil?
My dealer didnt change the oil filter when they put in new oil last week.
Can I jack the car up to stop oil getting out?
any help is appreciated!!
Thanks

I asked the service ppl, their reply is "it only need to be changed every 10000mile."

172 owners,

I know its still pretty bright and quite white compare to cars with normal headlights, but compare to those Audis and BMWs our xenon light arent seem as...
When I start to accelerate slowly from standstill in 1st gear, I sometimes feel the lumpy vibration through the clutch pedal. is it because I havent put enough revs? or the clutch has a problem. It started to happen around 14000k, now its on 18000k.
I can only feel it when I accelerate...
Its time to do some more mods on Clio. Please help in decide which one to do..
1. Pipercross Viper Kit
2. Devil or Remus exhaust
3. superchip
They are all roughly the same price. of course I would like to do all 3 at once. but I have limited funds.
I have a pipercross panel filter already...
