Nothing has been touched on the engine, apart from being serviced often. I do run Standard Unleaded in it and not the Super Stuff, read mixed reviews on the benefits of using it. Will look at a different mapping, see what this can do. Low revvs pulling wouldnt go a miss, as sometimes if I need...

Recall fix.....whuuuuuuut?? I haven't heard of this. Am I going to die in my car?

Basically, what the title says!! I have just remebered this issue from last time I was at Castle Combe in the Clio. Coming out of Bobbies and the Esses was always a little tricky with what gear, as third was an ok gear to go into them to take it steady (I slow down a little for the corners so I...

The Ferrari F1 cars are badged as Fiats.....same thing in my eyes haha :P No harm in it!

It turns out my car doesn't want me to check the fluids and open the bonnet. It is now a two person job to open it! Someone has to pull the lever and the other has to gently persuade the bonnet to release with a little pull....my arms arn't long enough to reach inside the foot well and to the...

So you have to retro-fit all modifications done before August even if it passed the MOT last time around? Glad I have seen this as I was going to fit a race style wheel to mine, and the ai bag will have to be removed. Although, I shouldnt need an air bag as I have harnesses and your face go...

The cider all went last night :( Currently installing windows movie maker, will give that a go. I know how I want a film to look and have plenty of ideas, but its actually getting shots and putting them together I struggle with! But with weather like today it would have been rude not to have...

I dont have WMM, I didn't know it could do that as I though it was super basic. Will have to find a download link. Only have an iPhone 4s, would prefer to do it on my PC and not phone. Will have to get some clips in the car on track next time I am out in it

After a free/cheap/reasonable legal video editing software. Got to be able to cut film clips from longer files, add music and possible text. Was using the GoPro software but as my camera isn't a GoPro it doesnt allow for files to be cut and certain sections removed. Trying to make an edit of...

Doing a 2-3hr motorway journey crusing at 70mph in my 172: The next day after a track session at Castle Combe Average about 38-42 on the way to work, 12mile journey without having a heavy right foot that is.

It looked an odd size on the towing eye. Cheers though! Task for this weekend is to source a bracket and a few bolts to do this.

Have found a tow strap in the garage, as you do (and a steering wheel boss for a Clio), and was going to fit it. But looking around at what people have done and need to do as it wont fit on because of the bumper and I dont want to cut it, so need to mount it on an angle bracket. The holt in e...

Mine is just under 100dB as it just goes through sound testing on track days! Not sure what system it is and its not a straight through :( , looks a litty chavvy though, came on the car when it was purchased. Makes a bit more a racket than normal inside as it has no interior

That has cleared that up! It is just that there is the icon for it but doenst do anything, even when I have redlined it. Still confused by this other light though :-/ This is a picture of my dash Top left is the mystery one and the one below it is the one I thought was the shift light...

I am wrong on the tyre light. I is a round circle with a wiggly flat bit on the bottom with a ! in the middle. It doesnt look like the standard light like this so no idea what it is!!

I have read that it was a bit of a gamble with the kit you got on your Clio, and one of these is a shift light. My 172 is from 2001 (X reg) and it is the one with the aluminium bonnet too. The shift light is on the instrument pannel, along with a tyre pressure light, but the shift light doesnt...

I was a bit sceptical with the seats as I had no say in them! Also good as if I get covered in mud when I go mountain biking it doesn't show up! Not really sure what the brakes are. I came home from uni one weekend and was told a new set of brakes had been fitted. All I know is that they cost...

Hi! Decided to join after a while of owning my Ph1 172. Bit of a long story to why I bought this car! Basically it was the family track day car, then I decided to sell my everyday car (an awesome Skoda Felicia) but needed to sell it first before I could buy, but would be car-less and living...
