Awesome. I've got a flame red bonnet, slam panel, grill and door if it's any use to you mate. (:

PMSL. We'll take something awesome, i'm sure. Who knows, I might even have something worthy of the trip by then. ;)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Suspention FTW.

As above. Only about £90-100 from Renault, too.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse PMSL! <--------.

Trip in the AsboCup FTW. Show me the earplugs.

I wouldn't bother unless it's dried out/causing a problem.

You can, but it takes a while. Open contacts list. Click the person. Options. Copy to Sim phone book. Repeat for every cnut in your contact list.

You need to push/jack the shock up slightly.

You'll be lucky to see £350 in that nick, with those tyres, IMO.

Properly hit and miss. Sometimes you'll be lucky and it'll drive alright after. Others, it'll drive like a bag of s**t. Tread carefully for the first few drives.

Give Tom or James a call.

No need for spring compressors mate. As said, standard top mounts are 21mm. Take it to a garage, and get them to loosen 'em with a buzz gun. I've had two top splines split on me before doing it by hand.

I'd take a 1M over this.

PMSL at Dave's description. I'll be impressed if I don't get lost.

Oi! Sell me the 10shit?

Messfest 2011 FTW.

Failsport and Team Ariane take Le Mans by storm 2011. :cool:

T1R's are fine, ime. As good as PE2's in the dry, almost as good in the wet. The fact they're £30 a corner in 195/50/15 does it for me!

Two cars and over 320k combined miles? Hero.

Bingo. Hit the nail on the head. You can have a 20k miler which hasn't ever had a cambelt done/regular servicing, etc. I personally like that people like yourself shy away from high milers. Makes them cheaper for me!

Unrecorded FTFW. I'd have no problems buying a Cat C/D if the repairs were of a good standard, and it was cheap enough. None whatsoever. When you see how much some dealer parts are, it's no wonder cars are deemed uneconomical to repair!

172's get better with more miles on, if looked after properly. Fact.

Re: Project 172 Trophy Red Megane 225 Powered Heavy Track Car Top work, Ant and Dec. X I've got a 106 GTi servo kicking around, if it's any good to you.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse I've got an OMP horn button in the shed you can have if you want?

Yep, you'll need a new head if that's what's causing it. Ph1 172 heads are the one to go for. Largest exhaust ports, typically.

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? Irrelevant. Any JC5 box will bolt on. Only the ratios that differ, and the speedo sensor, etc.

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? Not if they were the same driveshafts as was in the car before!

Amazing work, as always.

Yep, twisted type. Put a wanted ad up, i'm sure someone will bite your hand off for a swap. Maybe even with a touch of cash your way
