    Bought a 172, questions... (and maybe an apology heh)

    haha, yeah I know it depends on the rain but if I knock it down a click the wipers come on, dry wet etc.

    Celica gt4/nissan 200sx?

    They both have the SR20DET engine code but are both different engines, I dont understand the differences either though tbh. Having owned an S13 I can safely and honestly say that unless S14s are completely different cars with very different chassis' then a 200 DOES handle. My S13 was on stock...

    Bought a 172, questions... (and maybe an apology heh)

    Its a 51 plate. It has the auto lights but from looking around it doesn't appear to have auto wipers. If I go 1 click down it goes to intermittent, I think. There is a sensor behind the rear view mirror though yes.

    Bought a 172, questions... (and maybe an apology heh)

    Well I've just bought an early ph2 172. So far I'm very much impressed with the car, its all good fun haha. OK, so the question is how do I switch on the auto wipers (lol). I've read the manual and it says that I turn the stalk to position B, however I cant haha. There is no position B on the...

    Some people just dont want to sell their cars

    If you called me whilst I was having my tea I'd give you the same response tbh. If some-one politely asked you to call back when they've finished tea their tea I'd say it was perfectly reasonable. If he'd told you to f*ck off he's eating or something then fair enough...

    Some people just dont want to sell their cars

    That was exactly my point, u said it asthough he was doing a private sale in a very unprofessional manner, which is perfectly fine he's not doing anything professional or representing anything with a reputation, this made me lol.

    Some people just dont want to sell their cars

    I dont see what the problem is, f*cking annoying messing around on the phone then trying to find a pen and paper to take a number when your teas sat goin cold and the amount of dreamers that have probably already rang and asked him to knock £500 off as its hard times etc etc. I'd have done the...

    Celica gt4/nissan 200sx?

    I had a look for a GT4 a few weeks ago to replace my S13, there are very very few decent ones about without asking stupid money for one. It'll be much easier to find an S14a I think.

    Egg Insurance = waste of time and effort!

    I bought myself a 172 last week, so on the Tuesday I rang Egg and told them that I had changed cars etc etc, it was all 'good'. On Wednesday I went and picked up the car, and foolishly I sent off the logbook without realising it wasn't taxed. Not the brightest idea I know, but still I thought I...

    hai, please fix ASAP ;) As soon as the internet thing recognises that Im the keeper I can tax it, insurance was sorted out on Tuesday :D

    What Spec is this 197?

    Even the cold start thing only limited the revs a bit, it should have still had pull lower down in the revs. It definately shouldnt have felt asthough you were skipping gears...

    FAO people who have owned both 1*2 and 197/200's!

    I find it the other way, I find the 172 feels a bit slower than my 197 did. It is pretty much dead equal between the 2, as in who-ever hits the loud pedal 1st wins. Saying this, and this is what surprises me the most. The 197 felt like it had more power throughout the revs, it was nice and...

    Its a new car, so the DVLA dont have the V5C updated yet. So I have to wait for my documents to come through the post and then go and do it in the post office :(

    Cat & Fiddle '09 Run!

    dude theres already a final confirmed list, if we start again now there will be a 'final confirmation list' of about 5 people so no-one will turn up... However, saying that. I cant get my car taxed so unless some-one can give me a lift I'm out :(

    Miss Banzai Tunnel Run - 10th October

    I would have gone down if the S13 was running, they look like a good meet. youtube tunnel runs it should give you an idea.

    197 recaros. LOL

    Just to point out, I'm a fat f*cker and my recaro's werent showing any wear at all after 10k miles... The material renault used on the seats isn't up to the job, I parked mine miles away from any other car because I was precious about door dents, and that meant I could get in and out of my seats...

    Project S13

    lol, this is true. in retrospect maybe I should have said I cba with a conversion for as long as I have a working CA and dont see any S13 with a V8 in it heh. LS1 is expensive. I've just bought a 172 so Iv got a car to do twistys with so Im very seriously considering the 1UZ, as a 1UZ is still...

    Project S13

    I want to get rid of the turbo but still have some power, and V8s always have been my fav engine so its getting a V8 one way or the other. The 1UZ has been used before as a conversion. rover/land rover V8s are pish. American V8s are expensive. BMW V8s I question the cheap ones and Jag V8s are...

    Project S13

    There are quite a few SX knowledgable people on here so I figured I would ask here before I start saving my pennies... How much work would be involved in putting in a 1UZFE engine? Is there a manual gearbox that'll fit onto the 1UZFE? Again will that fit in my car or will a lot of work have to...

    RB 200 with white Speedlines (pics)

    Its all personal taste really, white on RB looks good imo, but I still think the 197 looked better than the 200 and that combo settles it for me, I'd always have my 197 over that tbh:
