Hi Everyone
After 6 years I’m back and ready to get back into a 172 phase 2
Ideally looking for a cup in blue that can be tracked.
Love these cars bang for buck I don’t think they can be beat.
Cheap track cars always = more fun for me with a essentially throw away car. (Not cup)
My friends have...
Make sure the dephaser and belt are done or the car is cheap enough to have it done.
Rush the gearbox and see if it crunches in 2nd / 3rd
Check for rear sill and arch corrosion fuel cap etc.
The rest is simple really, a very diy friendly car that’s rewarding to drive fast and actually not bad on...
Give the calliper a good clean up even sand down where the pad pushes in, you shouldn't need to take much if anything off the pad if it's right.
I use a straight metal file to do this on runners as they should slide free.
Just come across a ph1 172 with a frozen engine after being incorrectly stored for 4 years . It's X reg 101000miles tatty and could bit me on the ass with other issues. The seller wants £600 but with the possibility a lot of horrors are hiding after 4 long years on a drive way what would be...
Stick the wheel in a bath or tub of water. It will show up the problem straight away if its going down that quick.
Could be pin hole in side wall, bad valve, bad seating in the rim if the wheel is corroded, simple puncture, or a fault with the tyre manufacturing.
Wheel and tyre in a big tub of...
Received the 16's today and defiantly just OZ aftermarket wheel but ill get them painted and see what I feel about them then.
There nice and crack/dent free but paint is tatty and all have little curb marks. Maybe a trip to a balencer for a spin up without tyres to check there not egg shaped :-)
This was (Static) and drove nice on KW v2's.
It's all a matter of taste but great pictures, I think if your looking at comparing a Clio sport to these Edition cars you don't know what your talking about, it's a totally different Car lifestyle.
Mich are great all round, but you get what you pay for.. Hankook are Mid range tyres. Why do people want to pay budget money and think they are putting a great tyre on the car?
Common sense, renault built the car with a mix of conti, mich, and Pirelli . These are the tyres to buy if you have a...
Would love to find out who did the work on this car.
Going through the invoices and noticed it is an ex Cliosport members car.
All the mods seem to have been done by one owner, anyone recognise my little Clio ?
My 2001 clio doesn't like sitting at any speed for more than 30 seconds.
Just judders at any speed 40-70mph in any gear.
That said it clears as soon as I boot it. Confused I am. Thought misfires are misfires what ever you do, also my idle is 600rpm and lumpy like its running wild cams!?!?
