I've had a slight crunch into 4th for about a year now, but this has gotten worse as it's starting to happen into 2nd and 3rd too. You can hear the crunch in the below video, where the mic was in the engine bay (Yes drag racing doesn't help the box haha) I'm guessing it's bad synchros among...

It's the box above the right two spark plug tubes. See the below picture of mine after I'd cleaned the oil away. This is what the labyrinth looks like with the cover off.

The labyrinth gasket leaked on mine causing the spark plug tubes to fill with oil. This destroyed the HT leads casing a horrible misfire. CHeck that there isnt any oil seeping through the labyrinth box under the intake plenum.

Hey guys, I have returned from university so haven't moved the 172 (Cup) since September. Because of this, I have bought new brembo discs and pads for the car. Upon removing the OS front calliper, I realised it has completely seized up. The slider pins had to be pulled out using mole grips...

Dealership wanted £90 for an OEM injector, managed to find a brand new OEM (Magneti Marelli) on Ebay for £35 posted lol.

Something must be terribly wrong if you're getting that fuel economy! I get around 38-40 mpg on a normal day which includes a 100 mph+ blast on the straights (It's legal where I live ;D )

^^^ A silicone based grease would be a better option, copper grease will most likely chemically attack the O-ring and cause it to fail.

I had a similar problem, I replaced the coolant sensor and it kept happening. It was actually a duff thermostat, it was stuck open so the engine was too effective at cooling! A replacement thermostat is super cheap and is just literally next to the sensor (the triangle shaped bolt pattern just...

Grey is a good shout!

I was racing against all sorts, you didn't have to race against anyone in your class until the finals :)

I wasn't classed on my own, there were around 10 other cars in my class.

I had nobody in the car, are you looking at the other video of my parents and brother on the side car? They ran a 17.17 @ 71 lol

What do you mean by bracket racing? Cars were put into different classes based on their times. I was in the 14.30 class, which means cars between 15.30 and 14.30 second runs are in that class. The classes on the day were 15.30, 14.30, 13.30..... all the way down to a 9.30 (only 1 car in that...

*96 mph. Damn typo lol
