Aus172

Anyone know how much the black plastic bit surrounding the drivers side mirror costs? Some bas**rd hit it while it was parked on the side of the road. all electrics work, luckily, just damage to the black bit.

Haha, No I do burnouts when i switch the button off I've got the little button down the right where the light fading thingy is... and i have orange indicators. EDIT: ESP Kicks in. especially on wet roads etc..

Serious? I'm pretty sure my indicator things are orange... I've got a late 03 172 and it has esp.... but maybe they started the orange white thing later.. or before i dunno!! Good luck with the buy mate, I drove both (I was either getting a brand new 182 cup or a used 172) and Although i preferred the 182 (obviously because it was new), in reality there isnt a heap of difference. As jeffster says, theres not much you can't do to a 172 that won't bring it over the '182 spec' bar. rightly said also, with the money you save you can put into modding it, But with that said, interior quality (probably) won't be as good - as leather ages quickly!! Some people even prefer the 172 to the 182, because its lighter, and although theres a little more body roll (suspension isnt as stiff as the 182) you can definately use that to cornering advantage. IMO its definately just up to the fact whether you want a newer car, or an older one. and one that looks a little better!! (damn those rear exhausts!!) Good luck, and welcome!! Imran

mmm, well i looked at some stalk controller adapters from the uk... i have a feeling it was from incartec as well, something that would total around 150 or so AU dollars? not sure, its definately a must if you ask me, i've had it for two weeks or so, and (i hate to say it) it kills me to have to move my hand so far as to increase/decrease the volume from the HU haha. Hahaha, yes indeed, I think a track day is a must before i work coilovers I'm located western suburbs, Castle hill to be exact1

I joined the www.hot4s.com.au forum to get some ideas on some audio stuff before i went out and bought it, and just happened to have met someone who drives a peugeot, and led me towards this site. theres too much japan on the hot4s forum haha, no one can direct me towards brands that i'd like on my car; so luckilly i came across it that way. And yeah, i looked through the social section, looks good to me, i'm keen on joining in the social outtings and stuff; so look forward to meeting as many fellow enthusiasts as possible!

Hey everyone! Names Imran, 18 years old Got an 03 clio sport 172 for my first car, about 5 months ago. I only just found out about this site! and frankly its abouutttt timmmeee!! Ummmm I live in Sydney, Western suburbs.... I've already started "modding" my car... but obviously like my forums for advice as i am really in the dark about the inner mechanics... So yeah, nothing to the engine just yet, And i don't plan on doing anything crazy, I've already done some of my ICE so far, Clarion in dash dvd VRX766VD unit, Cadence CVL-6k 6.5" components in the fronts 2 12" Fusion Encounter SVC subs Alpine monoblock powering the subs and a borrowed makeshift response 150rmsx2 amp powering fronts. Definately one of the cleanest systems i've heard, subs never overpower (i'm not really into the doof doof) its extremely clear, sound quality is divine. I'm currently looking for some coilovers, and OZ rims. Anyone have any experience with rim sizes? i dunno whether to go for 16s, 17s or 18s.... i can't decide whether i want nice rims to drive, or cruiser rims and roll the stockies when i actually want to drive.... Well thats basically my story haha.. How do you post pics? thanks guys!
