Hi All, I've just got back from an MOT center and my poor 172 failed on a few things .. one of which is a headlight issue where when the selector is turned down 2 positions ( over riding the xeon auto on function) only the drivers side beam works .. Logic points that the bulb cant be blown...

This happens all the time regardless if the engines warm or not .. if anything better cold as the mixture is richer and the car seems a little more poky. In general I find the moment i start the car i know if it will be running sweet or like a bag of spanners .. sadly it tends to opt for the...

I recently had some minor work done on my car main - match so nothing to heavy. However now I have lost loads of power and under heavy throttle the car sounds awful. it sounds like it struggling to breathe - be it intake or outlet... cant really tell. .. the result is very little power and...

I have the same issue - recently had Sportline springs fitted and at the time the car was sharp.. now the front feels like jelly and dare I say Im not confident driving it.. It thinkmy shocks are gone and only lastest a while on the new springs.. so heavens sake get new shocks as well.

Good read.. how has it behaved since the intial install... Do you have an update .. and a model code for the product for that matter ..:) Cheers.

More pics of the wheels from a far please they suit the car quite nicely... Did you have them in mind all along? It has a less is more look.. very clean.

I didn't mention GDI as I should have .. awesome service and the demo was tempting me no end .. evil feeker in looks alone... I have my eyes set on brakes, koni fronts, cam and head work next... get the top end right and see how that pans out.. god bless you turbo sadists.

For anyone thinking about getting some engine work done .. heres my experince and thoughts on what i had so far. First off I've just had a: Mani match New plug Cam belt and Aux bits Oil Change An Eibachs. Engine responce was so much sharper and the engine rev'd freely. a few flat spots that I...

Does anyone know a supplier that can sell just the front shocks.

Last week I checked out the air filter to find it was filthy.. Since then I noticed a slight pitch in engine note and a flat spot while toeing it. To see if my fiddlerling had upset anything I remembered a simple trick a tuners showed me to test induction weakage. Just spary WD40 around...

Hartz: QFTFT I used to say red is only suited on a Ferrari - /eats words stunning finish... now go make stuff moist..

from the strut out of boot .. there is a wash 2mm thick approx then white rubber .. defo poly in feel.. followed by another washer as below... not saying this is the correct config but feels bloody good .. if im mnot online tomo then dont copy above config ..

All in all the feel is firm and you get a direct feed back in your arse.. /stop sniggering. Not having Koni up front I will be addressing this as I can actively feel the weak points up front ..

Washer /15 mm poly/ washer and forgive my lack of knowlegde with dust dust cover but in the boot some crap random flexy black number .. pound store in apperance are placed on top .. seems pointless.

ive done a 125 coming off the m25 at J16 .. seems happy now the poly spacer in the boot sorry for spam.. but host is crap tonight ... <a href="http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010301hy8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6544/p1010301hy8.th.jpg"...

Nerd warning and sorry . anyone carrying out work on someones car is bound by law at fault for any issues regarding faults etc that may happen after the intial work carried out.. Sounds stupid but its fact in the courts of the UK.

As in the title looking for cam upgrade peeps.. but just that .. after minor mods I'm seeking ppl that have had new higher/race/street cams added.. I've got some work under way next week mani matching induction and can see cams as a good bang for buck increase in power /all aspects. So if...

/waits for tooth fairy

really.. Rs Turbo CVH weights 186 kgs

this is under hard acceleration ?? Does it do this if you feather it gently through??

Are you allowed to mention who did it . ??

Good point gtruk: getting the job done again is money I could have spent on ECU and Mani Matching etc.. Where was this fella. .. great price 172?

Interesting cheers guys..

I'm toying with the idea of having mine done the car is now on 54k, and sadly the service log doesn't show if this was done .. However if it was, is there a visual check that can confirm that the belt is in good condition and doesn't need doing.. and also I was quoted 600 quid and the...

Wouldn't the gearbox die from the load. I picture the shafts all going to the wall.
