Thought I'd let everybody know that my 172 is now with a new owner! He's a top guy who I know will look after her! He got a bloody bargain and I kinda hoped that he'd not turn up:o
He's to a new era!!
Basically what I did was buy the car from Danny, spend nearly 2k and sell it!!!
Oh...
Was my missus in the car that day. I sometimes drive her 106 as I have to park on the Cowley road if I'm not riding to work! She gets the 172 as a trade! It's good to know that people spot her in it, that way I know if she's up to no good;)
Seems about ball-park mate. You're looking at about almost £700 to be spent though! I think £5500 is about right when all the work is done. I had my 172 up for sale at 5k and it wanted for nothing. I still got no decent interest. It's a buyers market at the mo when it comes to 172's.
It looks really really nice mate, kinda looks like a negative image of my car(but better). Those Apex are a bit poo aren't they? I'm glad I got rid of mine. I think it would look better lower but I'm not convinced super low is the way forward for a road car! You've made me want to start messing...
How long before you start to mod her???? You know it's best left standard, but I know what you're like Dan, I've got the metal/plastic to prove it!! (:
s**t, what was I doing there at that time:S I'm sure I'm sleep driving:eek: I keep getting spotted in places I don't remember going! Good job i'm not trying to conduct some kind of sorded afair!!!:D
Saw you and waved at you today;) I felt so ambaressed about the state of my car that I went home and washed it:o Can't keep being spotted in a filthy car:D
They are pretty simple to fit but I'm friendly with a local garage so got them to fit them for me. The H+R's and Bilstiens are better but the FK's are really good for the money and the ride quality isn't anywhere near as bad as PPL make out. Try Rimstyle, this is where I got mine from, although...
I've been happy with them but that doesn't mean they're don't hamper the cars ability over the really bumpy stuff sometimes! This is an issue with coil-overs in general and not something specific to fk's. As soon as you reduce the suspension travel, up the spring rate, and increase the damping...
They look high standard but handle really well! As soon as you start lowering a car you'll generally hamper it's ability on the good old brithish b-road! A set of coil-overs would be the best option but they are expensive! It would mean you can set the height to how you want it to be...
Thought I'd pop some of mine up, not because I think it's the best, just because I was feeling left out:D
Also a tribute to Dan:
And one of my old 182:
Was thinking of getting some centre caps for my Speedline 2118's and was wondering if anybody knew off the top of their head what diameter they are? I think they my well be 60mm! I'm not near the car at the moment otherwise I'd go and measure them;)
The last two years I went with different clubs and I had to buy a ticket and a pass from a member of the club I was with!! I'm confused how we are allowed on the cliosport stand if we only have a standard ticket bought online! Do I need to buy a special ticket or do I need to get a paddock pass...
You did well to spot me on the 6th of may! I got married in sheffield on the 5th, nipped back home for 5mins in Witney the day after and went straight to Portugal for 2 weeks!!! It appears I'm quite easy to spot due to loud noise and white chav wheels;)
It was me mate;) Just been up to Storm to get my suspension sorted out! Thought I'd wave at you although my wife has banned me from waving at clios!!!!!
Mines done it once, when waiting to fill up at a petrol station. Went off and has never come on again! Don't need to worry unless it stays on all the time;)
Have you tried disconnecting the battery, leaving it 30mins or so, and the reconnecting it? Might work???? If not, I'd get it plugged into Renaults computer!
My car had done 74K when I had my clutch done. It was biting high but not slipping. The old one that was removed still had a bit of life but was pretty shot. The bite point is now much lower and the whole action is much lighter and smoother! It cost me about £350 inc the Valeo clutch! Find a...
Didn't see either of these today but saw a nice black 182 at sainsbury's tonight! Very clean with a sat nav or camera detector mount in the window. Wasn't yours was it? Looked lush;)
