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...

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.

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 ..
