This was my original thread with some pics of my old saxo and couple of the new 172; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=350154.

Ok, not had the car long but already made some changes. To start with though, some pictures of it clean:

First thing that i sorted was the temperature sensor, Broke:

Fixed:

Next i fitted some Eibach Sportline springs.

In the middle of doing it:

Fitted:

How it looked straight after:

Today i fitted a Decat to the K-tec stealth system that was on the car previously. (THE most awkward thing to fit in the world!!) I'm very pleased with the results. Not too loud under normal driving but sounds amazing when driven harder.

Not sure whats next. Comments welcomed.

Good work there fella. It's the little niggly things that are often the most satisfying to have completed.

Where did you get your de cat from?

The sensor is in the passenger wing mirror. i bought a passenger wing mirror off ebay, took the working temp sensor out of there and swapped it with the faulty one in my mirror. easy peasy and fairly cheap. (Renault charge £38 for the sensor i think).

I'll have to look out for you on my travels. Nice choice of car by the way!

Totally agree with that!!

I bought the Decat off pete_clio. It had only been on his car for 1k miles. Its a great mod, would highly recommend it. Fitting it is a sh*te job though!! you need the hands the size of a 10 year olds. grazed knuckles FTL!!

[Tigger]

Thanks, the springs are great, i like the ride hight now it has settled a bit; its a bit lower now than it was in those pictures. the ride quality is good too, not overly bumpy.
