Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Did the brake pipes need changing when you did it? Not sure if they are different from disc to drum? Kept them if req from the 172

Sorry do you mean the brake pipes are the same but you just need a flexi hose from the pipe to the caliper?

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Decided to give the DCI a quick wash and polish this afternoon
Method:
Also raised the rear coilovers up approx 10mm to make it sit a little more even!!
Before pics
Prepped for washing. Door mouldings and number plates removed to clean behind them.
Tools!! As you can see not a lot of snowfoam left!
After shots.
Also replaced the centre cap bolts with some shiney new ones!!

Yea it's not too bad, averaging about 60mpg at the moment. The mpg seems to have taken a hit since the new wheels were fitted :S
very nice mate

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Yea, I'm starting to prefer the TD 1.2's too, and mpg was much better also.
I want the sport wheel as I plan on fitting cruise control too and the current wheel is shagged!
Would fit a sabelt wheel, but don't want to loose the drivers airbag when we are doing 20k a year!

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Hi there mate completely new to the site today! Just stumbled across your thread mate your car is bang on! The reason I found it is that I’m doing the exact same thing to my misses Clio and was looking into info on if it was possible to change the front wheel hubs ect. The one thing I have noticed is that the shafts need changing and that the Clio I’m working on is a mk2 on a 06 plate with a hydraulic clutch with in a jh3 box and I’m presuming they don’t fit because the shafts I’ve got to use are from an 02 with a different gearbox set up. I thought I’d ask as you work on these beauties everyday which shafts I need to source to complete it properly? Hope you don’t mind Chris
Not bad ey! DCI boys giving 182 owners ideas

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Hi Chris, not sure which shafts you will need with the jh3 box. Luckily mine had the jc5 box like the sports so I could use the complete 172 setup. Not sure if any other Renault shafts would work or if u would need to get some custom made

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Right, doing the rear disc conversion as we speak but having issues with the ABS sensors.
Do the DCI ABS sensors fit into the 172 hubs?
Problem I'm having is that both sets of ABS sensors are seized solid so may damage them getting them out :S

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Rear conversion done.
The standard 172 ABS sensors and the original DCI ABS sensors wouldn't fit, so ended up sourcing some from a 1.6 clio (with discs as standard) which fitted fine.
Next issue was the ph1 172 handbrake cables were far too short, so we ended up extending the thread on the handbrake lever by 2 inches. Job done!
Everything else was relatively straight forward.
Few pictures from the conversion, will be getting the cup spoiler, spacers and 3/4 number plate done this week
OLD/NEW BITS!
DISC HUB ON

XENONS ON
PARROTT KIT INSTALLED

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
Lol.
The original DCI ABS sensors wouldn't work because of the angle the wire came out at. They wouldn't fit in the disc hub without the cable being kinked.
The original 172 ABS sensors I had wouldn't work because they had the wrong connectors on the end.
So I ended up taking a punt and using a set of ABS sensors from a non sport with discs as standard, and fortunately they worked a treat!

Re: Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep
I didn't fit it, had my guys in the workshop do it, but only took them 20/30 minutes tops. It comes with all the instructions etc. Was just a case of wiring it into the back of the head unit and feeding the aux cable down to the cup holders. The control pad is literally just stuck onto that panel and connects wirelessly to the rest of the system.
What would you like pictures of?

You literally take the headunit out and plug in a couple connectors. Shove all the wiring down behind the radio and route the aux cable to the cup holder

Disaster struck yesterday, sounds like the gearbox has gone bang, so it's coming out monday/tuesday to inspect
Typical after doing all this work!
