Ok so going to be taking the side skirts off to attend to the damaged jacking points on my 182, i know that to get them off i need to drill the plastic rivets out. My question is does anyone know where to get replacements from for refitting and does a standard rivet gun work on them?
Hi, yes I had a 172 cup a few years ago. Sold it in 2009 so this is me just getting back in one, will be a weekend toy which I plan to attend a few meets and shows with. I have a few plans for it one of which is indeed to lower slightly

Yeah thats what I was thinking. What sort of mileage are these engines good for before you start to get major problems? The one I buy will probably be a summer weekend toy so should i be put off by higher mileage or not?
hi all, after having a 172 cup a few years ago im looking at possibly taking the plunge again. i have seen a reasonably low mileage car that seems well maintained. The issue is the belt and dephaser change. the guy says it was done when he bought the car but has no receipt for it but the garage...
Hi guys looking for some advice, I get a loud knocking noise coming from the front left of the car when under hard acceleration. car is a 53 plate 172 cup.
