im hoping to fit some coilover this weekend to my cup,
my question is, how do you adjust the height,
reason im asking, ive googled a few sites,
some are sayin, twist the bottom of the strut to adjust the height, and leave the locking collars alone, something or other to do with preload...

is this listing correct? 54mm on 1.2 iirc its 52mm? ktecs site says 54mm for 172?:dead:
was diagnosed with faulty lambda pre cat, so bought a new one, car runs a thousand times better, but the light is still on?!
tried disconnecting battery for 30mins but no the lights still on.
it is driving me mad and im too impatient to wait until next week to get the diagnosis on it a work ...
Had my car diagnosed yesterday with faulty precat lambda , so ordered one today, but what I want to know is, can I disconnect the battery once fitted the new sensor, to clear the ngine management light? I know it works on a vauxhall?
Are there on a sport and what the most expensive? My engine lights up, I'm waiting for diagnostic check ten I will change sensor but want an idea of what to expect. Cheers
Got in my sport cup thismorning to go to work, the first ten mins it wouldn't rev over 3k in gear starts to miss, but revs fine if you dip clutch. It runs fine when up to temp, had a full service in April at nwp, any1 have any ideas?
a 172, decatted, with silenced middle section(magnex) and a gutted backbox from ces sound( cut open and wire wool and tubing/baffles removed. then welded back up)
i bought my cup with a horrible magnex twin with it, but im not willing to splash out mega money on a stealth system, i fancy this...
really like the graphite grey colour, but like how the standard finish shines,
would you leave standard or paint my turinis graphite grey???
:S
also, when it comes to painting the centre caps, do you have to mask the diamond or do they unclip or similar etc|
:cool:
id love something like a supersprint 3 inch single that exits through the bumper
but,,,,,
im a tightarse and dont want to spend more that 200quid on just a backbox lol
iv looked online and i cant seem to find 1 or if i do i cant tell whether it sits below bumper or exits through:S
bought my cup, came with a magnex twin backbox which is not to my taste,
in the future i plan to decat it, been looking at a stealth backbox, but thought i could go back to standar for an 1/8th of the price,
how would a decat sound and perform on a magnex silenced centre pipe and a oem...
gave it its first polish n good clean, heres a few pics:cool:
future mods to come:
o/s exhaust mount(ces sent the wrong one today)
