I know this thread has come up before, but one of the rear hubs on my girlfriends car has seized, and i cannot for the life of me get it to free up, ive tried smashing it with a hammer and rocking the car back and forth but nothing seems to be able to make it budge. I'm starting to this it may...

how have i only just found this?!

Wow its been a long time since i posted on here!! mainly because my track project was put into my nans garage and forgotten while i was at uni and couldnt afford to do much with it. I know the cup racers are fully subframe mounted. a lot of people subframe mounted their engines in mk1 clios...

this thread has made my night!! it looks like exactly what id have done to my clio when i was 18 if i had the money!! thankfully i could never afford to have paintwork done so i never got a body kit. but the interior looks similar to how mine looked! :D i now look back and laugh at what i was...

i always dump my keys straight on the roof! and ill probs never get out of that habit! :(

i thought it said "anyone who has lowered 60mm on a 1.2 is a horrible person"

log on for the first time in ages to find you have a ph1 now!! good choice ;) looks great man, ill have to keep an eye, hoping youll be making is as nice and clean as your 182! :)

mk2, shocks and springs rear suspension is better than torsion bar and most mk1 shells need saving from rust! lol mk1s look better though

considered insuring it!

there wont be any gain from swapping between them, they are the same bore. im pretty certain theyre all the same but there may be extra hose fittings on some.

I think the 172 rear bumpers need skirts on the side to make them look more at home! other than that, it look superb from the back, front is getting massively let down by the jap plate and white grills imo!

4 page welcome thread!! had to be a female joining!! Welcome to CS, I used to live in Leigh-on-sea, not far from yourself :)!

try changing the thermostat, they can stop them from warming up properly and keep the car on cold map

didn't realise how far you had gone with it, bay looks really good so far!!

you can add me to that list too!! i spend so long building my track car and quite a bit of money on it. 6 months after finishing it and im considering what i would swap it for... maybe 3series BMW or a bike of some kind. For now ive cancelled the insurance policy and garaged it until the summer...
