GTO is a overweight PoS that handles like a double decker bus IMHO. They are quite quick eventually, but theres a hell of a lot of weight to drag around. 1560Kgs from memory. This makes them not very nimble either. Id put my money on a Clio 172 over a 3000GT/GTO anyday except in a straight...

Update... Just got home .. The 624 must be a bit wider than whatever model Alpine supply Renault. Therell need to be a bit of customization to make it fit (Read big pliers). P.S. The part number for the metal fram I got is 82000-82120

Hmm, anyone have any wiring diagrams to do this? I have the MP3 head unit, so am more likely to be swapping thru tracks on the single disk than changing CDs /traversing folders.. BTW, Ive found that the Alpine black box for the steering wheel remote fits nicely behind the clock. I just...

Kennedy & towser... As it happens, I had to go past the dealer this morning (AirBag warning light still..now fixed again). So I had a look under a MK2 172 passenger seat, and saw the bracket. So I hassled the spare parts guy, and he had 1 left. Cost me AU$24, which is about 9UK pounds. It...

Aah, I think I see now.. There are two bolt holes under some trim on both beams. I assume them that there is a frame of some sort that the CD stacker sits on, coz the beams are a good 10" apart and the holes are at least 8" apart on the beams

Have either of you noticed that the operation of the steering wheel remote is now different... :( (on the MK1 anyway) You have to use the underside button to advance tracks not the wheel, and you cant go backwards.

Down under in Aus, the MK1 Clio 172 (2001) didnt get a CD changer, just a single CD heat unit. Ive got an Alpine head unit fitted and an Alpine CDA 624 6 Stack changer that Id like to fit (other than it sliding around the boot like it is at the moment) (I also forked out the equivalent of...

AFAIK, some of the differences between the F4R in the 172 and the RX4 include different compression ratio, cams and different pistons. ECUs would inevatibely be different too.
