Well, that might be an exaggeration. 1. Just had a service, didn't need one as it's only covered 5000 miles since the last one. £300, ouch. Massive, cavernous potholes in Leeds snapped suspension spring and sent tracking way off. To be fair I do not drive the car sympathtically. Plus just...

Looks good, they just need to bring the V6 back now!

Think my 172's pretty dull (despite RS Tuning remap) but it's all I can afford at the moment. Did prefer my old Williams but it cost more to run, boo.

I just meant it wasn't anywhere near as fast as I though it'd be even when driving it. I seemed to have rattled a few peoples cages, oops!

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd say that I've had a bit of a realisation about the 172. I was a bit annoyed when I got mine as I thought it wasn't that fast, so I got it remapped by RS Tuning, and the engine has been getting better as I bought it from one female previous owner so it had never...

If you're ever near Leeds you could get it remapped at RS Tuning, had mine done, makes a decent difference, seems to have two power surges at about 4500rpm then again at 6500rpm, weird, livens things up a bit though, still need to wring it's neck though.

http://www.crn-uk.com/ Was thinking of getting some of their grooved discs and Mintex Xtreme pads, any good? Cheers.

Sure a 172FF shouldn't do 60 in 2nd unless it's been remapped? I bought my 172FF with 49k from one female owner who I don't think ever took it over 3000rpm, the engines getting better with each thrashing, having said that I reckon I've been collered for a 3 point/£60 special last weekend...

Just wondering how the old girl's getting on. Loved it to bits, much better than my 172, although the RS Tuning remap helping out a bit.

Hi Folks, My 172 will be 5 years old in June, was thinking about getting the cambelt done soonish, where's best to get it done in Leeds and how much can expect to shell out? Cheers, John.

I used to have a remapped Williams, miss it like hell, went like stink and so much more fun than my 172 but it cost an arm and a leg to run. If anyone's running M257 KFP let me know how it doing!!

Hi there, Anybody know any good cheap wheel refurbers in Leeds area? I want mine refurbed and powder coated or painted in a different colour. If so, any idea how much per wheel? Cheers

Hi there, Is there any one air filter that's better than another for upgrade in terms of performance? I was thinking of the ITG performance air filter, but what about the K&N or Pipercross? Also are induction kits under £100 worth it? Is so any in particular, Green? Powertec? Pipercross...

I had a Williams 2, took punishment like a good 'un and the engine never missed a beat, pulled like a cocker spaniel at the leash!! I'd get it remapped too, they go like rocket ships.

Hi, As per title, is the cup much better than the standard 172? I can live without the leather and xenons, plus the weather's rubbish so can do without aircon too. Mind you my current 172's pretty reliable (touch wood) despite looking like it's been naughty in the middle east and been...

Hi there, Was thinking of getting some 16" turinis for my 172, anyone got any photos of a black 172 with anthracite/silver/white turinis? Not sure what colour'd look best, Cheers.

Hi there Philmots, Where abouts in Headingly do they do the remap, how much is it and is it the group N phase 2 ecu remap? Cheers

Cheers for that, I think I'll have to consider whether my little clio's worth spending that much money on!!

Aye, cheers, I read through that thread, think with the cupra R I'd have a similar problem but with a heavier less involving car. Is the cup much better than the standard 172?

Hi y'all, I currently have a Clio 172 and I don't know what to do. It's too slow, I can either do a few mods or get a new motor. I used to have a chipped Williams 2, which I loved, stuck to the road like a limpet and went like stink from low revs all the way through the range but cost an arm...
