Ive got my clio up in the air doing a full suspension upgrade.....
I tried to turn the ignition on to wind the window up and got nothing.....
Batteries fine, drop tested it, nice + strong. minimal voltage drop when all the lights are all turned on etc.
but turn the key fully and nothing...
Is anyone driving on 225/50/15's at the moment?
I'm going to fit some Hankook VENTUS RS-2's, i was going to fit a 205 width but for about another £25 i can fit the 225's. Yes i know they might look a bit daft..... but i have no concern what so ever on how it looks.....
Just wondered if anyone...
All's well that ends well :D

Are the brakes crap on all of them.....
My phase 1 and phase 2 172's have both had crap brakes (ph2 were upgraded with redstuff, braided lines, motul 5.1 + grooved discs) and it was still s**t
My old (years back) clio 1.2 grande almost did endo's when you stomped on the brakes, and...
Only down the road so rude not too :p Not as good as previous years but still amazing. Latvala was amazing, Jimmy McRae and a few others........
Anyway.... pics.....
Silver valver, low, plastic windows, show cage. passed me + my mate earlier, it was going out of button as we were going in (Silver P1 172 and a Blue 200).
Whom ever it was....... it looked fookin mega :D
Are 172 cup shocks, stiffer than 172 shocks?
What it is, i want a stiffer shock, but with a high ride hight, coil overs are no use to me as i'd rather keep breaking standard shock other than 5/600 £ coilovers that i cant get a replacement for.

Anyone know what other cars i can get some steels off of, that will go over the brakes on the 172? got to be 15" as theres the only size tyres i'll be able to get.
Chris.
Right...... been meaning to do this for ages now so here goes.
I Purchased my Phase 1 172 an July last year, I paid a hansom sum of £695 pounds for it. It was and in most ways is still a complete shitter :D
Bought it as a non runner, Got an 182 engine off a member on here, with decent...

I lol'd title says it all really.
I think he should keep it until he finds out if he is the babies dad as he sounds like a Jeremy Kyle throwback scumbag (number...
Finally fitted this after it sitting in my shed for 3 months!
gear change is a lot less sloppy and just feels under control instead of the engine bouncing its way round the engine bay like before.....

oh well will...
Done a search, cant really find a straight answer.....
what is entailed in getting it off, with regards to the sub frame etc?
