My 172 is my 3rd Renaultsport,having previously had a 182,then a 200,then moved onto the VXR,now onto my 172. I actually quite liked it to be fair,was mapped to 285bhp and was obviously a lot quicker than my Clios,and loved the note from the Remus exhaust. Handling was poor in comparison...

Had white wheels on my Astra VXR 'Burg. Never again!! (that's to having white wheels and ever owning an Astra VXR again) White wheels look ace when clean,but unfortunately that lasts all of 5 minutes.

Looks well specced. Just missing the Speedlines.

Anyone know if these Ramair filters need oiled before fitting?

Nice one. Gonna get some Powerflex bushes,and can only see them listed for the SMI rack.

Is there a choice of steering racks on a 2003 172? Need rack bushes desperately!

Your right! That's exactly where it's coming from. Gonna have to see if I can sort this out though,is a tad annoying.

I just picked up a 2003 172....and have this exact same issue! Surely not normal. My old 182 certainly never did this.

Away to go pick up a Monaco Blue 172. First thing needed done to it is a suspension change. Looking at Gaz and Bilstein b14 coilovers. Had b14s on my Astra VXR Burg,quite liked them to honest. What like are they on a Clio? Any reviews on Gaz? Also,looking at changing top mounts,both lower...

Going to look at a 2003 Monaco 172. Covered 73k. Belts been done in the last 1k. Totally standard. Looks real tidy,not long had a full paint correction. Only down side is it has very little service history. Whats a rough value on this? The guys got it up for £1800 but reckon thats a bit steep.

The white 200 was probably me. I was on route down to the highland show round about then. Did it have a cup spoiler?

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. Away to the dealer I bought my 61 plate 200 from. I bought the car start of december. Car was 1st registered Sep. 2011 so that makes it roughly 5 months out of Renault warranty although I did take out a warranty with the dealer. Now my list of...

2002 called....it wants his car back.

I recently put a Pipercross panel filter in my 200. Now got a terrible flat spot, so its going in the bin along side your KTR filter. Back to standard for me I think.

Cambelt is 6 years on the 200 is it not?
