Only when hes racing it

Had 215/40 16 on my Clio and it was fine, didnt rub and gripped much better.

Hey everyone The bloke that owns my old 172 now has been having some problems with the transmission. It feels like the syncro in 3rd gear is broke so it makes some noise when changing fast into 3rd. Has anyone else had this problems with the transmission in his 172? Renault is going to...

I hate the stupid sensor, It never wipes the windshield at he correct time IMO. The wipers also need the option of pushing the lever up once to clear the windshield like som many cars have.

It works on 95 but the engine runs rather ruff in my opinion. It uses 98 because of the ignition (rather wild cams) and you should in the futur use 98.

They are at least the same back box fit

Is there any way I could have this since I will be hooking up my piggy back computer soon?

Oooohhhh yeah 220-240bhp!!! Now thats what Im talkin about

I own a smt6 piggy back computer from Perfect Power which I just havent fitted yet so I dont need a chip. I also have a Remus back box and am going for a decat soon so the mild mod department is covered.

Thanks for the reply BenR, good to read from people who knows his buisness. The only reason I mentioned all this is because Ive seen all this available for Hondas. Im not quite sure what to go for but its nice to know whats available so I can see what I can get with my budget. Since I...

nobody? Is filter, decat, chip and exhaust all that is available?

Where can I get some real performance parts for my 172 online which will give me real powergains. I was thinking along the line of new cams, rods, pistons, trhrottle bodies, injectors etc. Then there is always turbo but I fear that would be a tad pricy although Im very interested to see how...

Im 21 and have had mine for about a year

I have a Remus back box on mine which I really like and Im going to get a de- or sports-cat but I can´t see the point in replacing a perfectly fine exhaust apart from that. Ok the cat and back box is/was working but its loosing me power(the cat) and the Clio really needed some nice exhaust tips...

Ive been reading a lot of posts about people getting "perfomance" exhaust systems on their 172s and spending a lot af money on them. But is there any powergains over a back box and de-/sports-cat? Ive taken a good look under my car and I just cant see the point in getting a new system since...

He he I noticed finally just a moment a go when I went to the bank. The headlights were all wet. Stupid me Thanks anyway 172loony:D

Ehh:oops: I dont even know how to use mine, where is the button:oops:

We call it carinspection here in Iceland, but I think its just the same as MOT. That is they check the car to see if it steers and breaks correctly and doesnt pollute too much. Its checked first after about 3 years (depending on the last digit on the license plate), then back in 2years and...

Ok thanks m8s, so I better get my car to the MOT before so I dont have to think about it for 2 years:D

Now Im just waiting for my Cliosport membership to clear before I make a big order from k-tec which will include a decat pipe(since Ive heard I can just remove the second sensor) or sportcat. So the question is: is there any difference in power gains between those? I can stand a 170 pounds...

I thought the 172 exhaust was fine and no need for replacing. Its about 2" right? No need for bigger on NA engine.

Quote: Originally posted by Rhys on 14 January 2004Its just exhaust system (although god knows which make now), decat, modified inlet manifold and, only while its permenantly cold, a K&N induction kit. Yeah the K&N sounds awsome, going to put mine back one while its so cold. But how is...

nice sound mate, what mods you got?

Like your plan rich172, please post a detailed description with pictures when youre done. Where did you here that k&n have poor filtration jimbo? The tests Ive seen show that k&n filter just as well as standard and even better in some cases.

no problem m8, but the IK sound is worth a lot though;) How are you planing on modding the airbox? Going to thread a tube to the lower front grill?

nope, Fiat has 4*98

Ive heard having the car tested when its well run in and warm can get the car pass.

Yeah Ill probably try to trick some sucker like myself in buying it from me

Im getting my 172 to the dealers next tuesday for the 2year check so I put the old airbox back on instead of my viper. Didnt remember how tight a fit the box is and it took me a little while since I had also removed the "mystery" valve. So after the install I go out for a little spin to see if...
