So I'm thinking ph1 bumper on the rear of the Monaco... I think it looks cleaner than the ph2 but don't want it to look dated!? Opinions welcome!

RED!! Lol

Red

After the postie brought me the mount thought I best get it on before I go away to Centre Parcs. It's surprising how such a small thing as a mount can make a huge difference. Now the upper mount and dogbone are done I'll be saving to get new lower arms with Powerflex bushes, new ball joints...

They're cheap enough on fleabay bud

Need to put that battery cover back on mate!!

Once again the postman has brought me more car parts, this morning a powerflexed dog bone mount from @Paprika123, cheers bud. Hopefully get this fitted later today or tomorrow weather dependant haha

Not too sure tbh, it feels comfortable though

Mini update... After the balls up with the OMP boss from Demon Tweeks I eventually sorted a MOMO boss from Merlin Motorsport in Essex. Thanks for the link @182_steve So with boss now in hand it was time to fit with the OMP Targa wheel. Was quite easy to fit to be honest hardest thing was...

Wild red!?! It's the "I wish I had Brembo" mod haha

I didn't take one with the wheel off, just this other one. It was a about 7-8mm, was a multi pack from halfrauds that I used.

Haha I knew it... here she is...

There's a few of us, don't suppose you used to own a white body kitted ford orion??

Thanks mate I got 16mm hubcentric on the rear too

No I find the seal around it is sufficient enough not to cause any issues mate

I do like it when the postman brings me parts... Just have to wait on a boss now as the OMP one I ordered with this wheel is incorrect for a 172.

Yea made the engine feel tight but the vibration on idle takes some getting used to. I did mean ball joints too but forgot to put that in

Just halfrauds VHT paint and a brush Cheers! I know mate but the protection I gave it means it should be fresh underneath when I clean it next.

A little update, nothing major... I've had a abs issue for a month or so, this morning I decided to take a look an see what's up. Split abs ring found to be the culprit but assessing the whole hub situation I've decided new track ends and lower arm bushes need refreshing at the same time...

Bugger!! I don't have cc anyways but think I'll just send it back and order a MOMO then.

What the difference then bud??

Please help I've ordered a new OMP wheel and boss kit but have just read that the Boss kit will not work with the 172 steering angle sensor and that a MOMO should have been used??

My 172 also says Renault where track info was

It's 70mm bass port tube from the local Wilcos glued in an all painted over in gloss black. It is 2 pieces with a 100mm X 70mm joiner between them, best way to do it without chrome pipe or K-tax costs.

Thanks bud, cup racer light is more just for summer an when I do eventually get to do track days.

I didn't know that, mine are smooth around the rim I will mate, about time I pulled my finger out an done one haha

15" and 16"?? Your the 1st person I've heard of with a 16" set too

Thanks mate! It's getting there slowly

Lastly and the most recent upgrade was to the engine, a PowerFlex upper mount was fitted in 10mins on the drive last week. I like the way its made the engine feel under acceleration but idle :pensive: I am unsure if i should do the Dog bone mount as yet as I hear this can cause even more...

With winter impending the stock 172 wheels where put back on but looked hidden in the arches, a deal was done with @182_steve for his 16mm hubcentric spacers after he had got his hands on some Turini's and the combo wasn't working for him. Before an afters... not sure if i'll keep them on when...
