Mk1 172 Import 172s came with Alpine Autochanger, UK spec cars had VDO dayton changer.... FASCINATING!!

I am stuffed as Renault have told me that my centre section and backbox are rusted to hell. The sum of all parts required to replace these is ~£500 excluding labour. I said I will get a custom (powerflow etc) exhaust made but Powerflow say they need renault exhaust mounts, and renault say...

Yeah its an import - Cheers for that Biggy I hope to get somewhere between 6500-7000 minimal as I need the extra money for the move to NZ.

Not the best pic but you get the idea. There are no stickers on the runners now.

No not the bread van. Im moving to New Zealand in July so need to sell up and get something different out there (Holden 5.7L? hehehe) I know the car would sell better with the mods removed but I really cant be @rsed to take them all off. Would need to fill and respray the 172 spoiler to remove...

Its a 2000 X-Reg Mk1 172 in Titanium Silver. One previous owner. Stunning condition. 36K, Standard 172 features + 17" Team Dynamics Tornados, 205/40 Yoko AVZ Sport (front), Toyo Proxes T1-S (rear), RamAir IK, Lowered 30mm on H&R springs, E-Tech Roof Spoiler The Parkers guide and Used Car...

Powerflow have offered £170ish as I dont want a tailpipe

Hey guys, My backbox fell off this morning (which was nice). I plan on selling the car in 2 months so want a fairly cheap repair option. From memory the Renault system on a Mk1 172 is one unit, so a replacement from them would cost a fortune. What do people recommend? powerflow? - I dont...

Dont forget that the speedo readout is affected by the size of your wheels anyway., It may look like you are getting slower top speed but the sppedo is not to the right configuration anymore anyway! Plus, all speedos are fairly inaccurate past 100mph

I must admit that if the sport is added to improve the look of the car, why not go for a different badge like the sporting ones seen on Fiats for example? I bet nobody would do that though...because fiat sportings are all slow?

The Ferrari badges cost £150 + VAT JillyB! My mate has one on his MR2.....hahaha. Similar theme I guess?

Wicked mate, that will be the ultimate stealth mobile!! Standard GT5 engine in a clio should be at least mid to high 7s I would have thought

I ve had three bouts of bad luck: 1) Throttle cable snapped racing a 325i £120 2) Fusebox wiring went mental (dont know why) and immobiliser wouldnt allow the car to start £190 3) Handbrake slipped at mates house and car rolled into a wall £400+ Actually 4 because some bloke smashed my...

Er... you serious? They are about as legal as having a fire-eater blow flames out of the windows as you are going along.... i.e. there is probably nothing in the lawbook - but if you melt anyones bumper or burn their legs to a crisp outside Sainsburys you will be in some kind of trouble...

Blue would look best but makes you look like a cop in some1s rear mirror. Cops dont take too well to blue neons for that same reason. Fcuk em tho.

Mines an import, no warranty issues but thats expired now anyway. No difference in the cars as far as I know (except for some reason my registration number never brings up details of the car or me etc)

Cheers Rob....... you got a hairdryer?

Have you got any pictures of car itself Brun? I have seen lots of engine bay pictures but havent seen the outside of the car! :) ...engine looks good though!

Is it difficult to remove Renault / Clio / Sport from the boot of a 172 without breaking the badges? My car is going in to the garage on Wed to have the boot sprayed, I know that the Sport badge is about £20 by itself. Will I need to replace all the badges or can they be removed without breaking?

Nitrous

Re-map then

If I rag it everywhere (and I mean everywhere!) I get about 26.8! If I cruise around I have had it up to 34.6. Whoa! I have a 2000 x-reg. Lovely car!!

Dent Devils are really good. Charge per panel, think its about £65 + VAT per panel regardles oof how many dents are in that panel

If it bangs on wheel spinning or in the wet under hard acceleration mine does it too. possible loose engine mounts

I paid £60 at my local garage to have the springs fitted to mine

You got bigger wheels Sawa? My 17s rubbed like mad on the plastic trim inside the front bumper when I first got them and lowered it. They dont rub no more tho.... burnt a big hole through it.... heheheh Made a hollow whirring noise on long bends

My Toyos T1-S are poo. Terrible in the dry and in the wet its like ice skating!! P-Zeros or UniRoyal Rainsport are the way forward then?

Will do that in future (learnt this in the harshest way though!!) Unfortunately the most expensive bit will be the bumper as (from what I have been told before) it is too flimsy to fill and paint. So I will prob need a new part from Renault £££££££. I have seen a Mk2 rear bumper on Ebay for...

Will it fit?

Anyone know how much these cost? Pretender... did you have a brake down of your individual bumper/skirt etc costs?
