I’ve owned my 172 since 2011. I wanted to replace the janspeed exhaust system it’s had since forever. Much to my disappointment, after hours of searching companies online it seems nobody now offers performance exhausts for the 172. Only 182 upwards on all the well known manufacturers :( sad times
Right then guys as the title suggests I have a little dillema on my hands and need help deciding.
Story goes I have 3 cars and 1 work van all insured and used through my trade policy thanks to my profession. 2 of my cars are 2002 Renault Clio 172 and the other... 1999 Subaru Impreza RB5 WR...
Evening, I'm in the process of deciding whether to turbo my Berg 172. I'll be doing all the work myself apart from mapping but have stumbled across this from EFi.. http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=338
What are people's advice and opinions on the product they're offering. It seems...
Done a few hours using the search box and the posts are outdated so my question...

I know that PTFE gaskets are not very popular on here but each to their own and im after a set so can anybody point me in the right direction from where to get them as I can't seem to find them apart from K-tec which I think are overpriced and Jam-Sport which sells them with the matched inlets...
As I have been looking into buying a set of matched inlets recently for my Clio I came across these on the Bay. Now I know most things on eBay are shite and to be fair I'm not saying these would be as someone can't judge on something until the product has been tried and tested, As it stands I...

Obviously I know the ph1 & ph2 dashboards are of different designs but why is it that the OLDER ph1 dash has little/ no dash rattles and most ph2 rattles and vibrates like a b**ch ? Different materials used maybe? You would have thought the older dash would be the one with the most rattles. I'm...

Hi guys. In the next few weeks I may be looking in to getting matched inlets, just wondering by ppl's experience what company does the best matched inlets (power increase and finish ) thanks in advance.
I have a quick Q. I've changed the dogbone mount for a powerflex jobbie, could still do with other mounts replaced as the engine vibrates like hell under acceleration. What are ppl running oem mounts or patent part ? Thanks
Hi wondering if someone can help me ? Wen I bought my 172 12 months ago it came with what I think is bird poo stains on the quarter panel. I thought i could get it out but I can't :( so far I've used mettalic t-cut and a polishing cloth and rubbed like mad but to no avail. I've also tried some...
