Hmmm, you sure? I was sure it had a tuned 20vt from an S3. Interesting transplant for a Mk3 putting in a V5 and a turbo? Was the guy from Aberdeen by any chance?
Exhaust has just started blowing like a b**ch on the 172 - only a few days after getting the bastarding thing MOT'd. Sounds like it's coming from around the back box, but I can't see any obvious holes/cracks. Looks like it's a fairly common fault and it's recommended to fit an aftermarket...
I think the cam belt needs done at 5 yrs or 72k, whichever is sooner. I'd just get it done if it's almost 5 yrs old. Can be very, very expensive if it goes - I was over £1000 for repairs when it went on a BMW before the specified time......

Some nice pics there! I just don't get the whole "rat look" thing - who came up with the idea "I know, I'll make my car look knackered as f**k as I can't be arsed with a resto job"?
Foreign plates are totally illegal. Lots of dubbers run German plates, but carry their GB ones with them incase they get pulled. You'll get a £30 fine and a rectification notice if your pulled. Might get in trouble for something like this though...
