Surely its got to be the dial itself now, maybe a poor joint or its actually died. All the other dials work ok RPM etc?

here we are...

2bh you cant really toe and heal easily on the 172's ph2, +1 for a solution

Looks a bit crap, but sickers off and all in black wont be bad. Wouldnt touch anything with Nitrous myself.......kaboom. "Too many other parts to list?" AKA i dont know, i just paid to get it done.

Re: Cant really afford coilovers atm. The ktec lowering springs a good compromise for Leave it alone, and save up for adjustable ride height coil overs........

This thread makes me want to buy ph1 to go with my ph2 now.

Stand alone graphics is a must.......you dont want shared memory BS.

CL RC5 front and rear, best pads ive ever used so far. Id be happy to try anything else, but so far ive found these the best, very kind to the disc. Only down is they are VERY noisey!

"Best in the country" how does he know??? i could have 1 in my garage undriven from new....

ROFL you boys and your super super clean cars, and "protected paint" ROFL, enjoy the winter stone chips!

looks nice

Unless its on a jet from hell, in a tight beam. Paint in thin coats in amazingly strong, more likely happen if the paints fecking thick as hell.

It wil be a bad spray job, if the correct primer hasnt been used or poor prep this will happen. If its done right no preasure washer will take it off, unless ur talking silly PSI and right up to it, even then it should more sand it off rather than flake off in massive chunks.

Yep the idle is crap on them generally, try changing HT leads etc, thats what im doing, making sure the spark is good and clean.

Probably not mate, i dont think ive ever had a set for the rear, the fronts definately have them. Ill get some ordered, as the rattle is annoying lol

I'm not dressing it up lol - it's just the way I want the car to look. The lambo was to show my inspiration. No black bits needed ;o)

This is the Mrs speaking (a disclaimer) I am glad my wee car has become such a hot topic! Your comments have been awesome! As a thank you for your interest, I will reward you with the rationale behind the orangeness: - I'll begin with...

Im inclided to agree but the mrs like the boxy look, shes sticking lol.

Agreed, plan was to do the interia at some stage, but it will be with her money, as mines now going back on the clio / supra projects lol.

Mine used to do this (with a ktec stealth), but it was my timing was off, took it in to ktec for a belt change and they found the cams had been damaged by previous owner, so timing couldnt be set right, i swopped them out and shes never done it since. At the end of the day, anyway you look at...

Had my MOT a while ago, it passed but it had an advisory for a anti rattle clips missing from rear brake pads. Now ive changed my several times, always do the job myself and in the history ive owned the car ive never had any shims or anything, just the little sliding clip and pin at the back...

Love the sound, very racey.

Oh yes please, the bronze / greyish ones are lovely.

ROFL

How much lighter is the 172 cup over a standard 172? some googled threads are saying 90kg, which seems quite a good saving to me. Does the cup really have thinner glass??? ive heard this mentioned before and i think it must be BS.

Shes great fun, shes all sorted now, just waiting for the tax disc to arrive. Then ill do a full service on her, as thats a bit of an unknown at the moment. Runs and starts well, even after its been sitting for months, but i think ill be adjusting the clutch slightly.

Just for the fun of it at the moment, it started when i had a few dings on my Clios bumper and bits of trim, so i resprayed those, now its become a bit of an obsession. Still learning, was very difficult to do the full car, as it was quite tight in the garage.

Hi mate, Thanks :). im based in Hagley, Just outside of Stourbridge.

Yeh im up for it, already done my mates front diamonds for him, heres a pic...(a pants phone one im affraid)

Can probably do a 2 week max turn around without much issue mate, with regard to the OZ's ideally want to sell all 6 together....as i dont think the other 2 will go on there own.
