Yeah looks nice

Been parked on Victoria Rd plenty over the last week or so, not one I've seen before.

Looking good!

It was hard to spot the split, I had to dismantle half the front of the car to find it. Mine was over 300, was supposed to be a 320 set up but didn't have the full exhaust. The hard pipe was hard to fit, a lot go with the silicone replacements now it seems.

My ST also did this in the convoluted section of the post intercooler pipe. Put a Pro-Alloy hard pipe on.

Yeah I did it when the rear tyre pressures were too high in damp conditions. Did a 180 on a right hand bend, went some distance down the road and the rear wheels bumped up the kerb. No damage whatsoever because of how much speed I scrubbed off by the time I got to the verge, the wheels literally...

Not many but there are some, Integrale for instance: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lancia/delta/lancia-delta-hf-integrale-evo2-lhd/1807979 I know it's a tad over but so's the V6 this thread's about.

I'd expect another 10 to be honest but it depends on a few things. Could the timing be out, is it overdue a service or is it just a tired engine with those miles?

I'm on the same page as you, could be sorted out but it's silly money.

According to some of my colleagues the women were dirty but I'm married :o. The underwear I recall had a snail trail in them and I think were discarded during a tender moment parked on a dark country lane lol.

I was a car salesman for 6 years, found all sorts in part exchanges including dirty women's underwear :dead:

That's a good effort Tony, well caught.

One reason I've acquired an RS Tuner for mine as well.

Both my 172s have done that so sounds normal to me. The wife's 182 doesn't do it but, rightly or wrongly, I put that down to the remap on her's.

My brother is selling a set of AST's with AST solid top mounts if you're trying to source some?

I'm going to speak to them about doing the belts on both of mine I think. How do you find them to deal with? My pal's not allowed to do work on the side at his garage any more so I could also do with someone to fit new cup shocks all round.

That's not bad, Greenlight used to be £40-45 on my £7k Focus ST with £1,00 excess on track as part of my policy. Very competitively priced and new the mods well.

Yeah, wouldn't have bothered if it was just me in my car of that value. With the wife being a novice I'm considering it. It was around £10 cheaper without her on it, on the basis of me having done 10+ track days and rating myself as intermediate. If my car was more expensive (like the Focus ST I...

They quoted £96 on a £1,500 172 with me and the wife (she's no experience) with a £400 excess if it's helpful Neil.

Been for sale ages, I agree with most that it's well overpriced.

Some also will be due a really good polish/correction

Nice one, where's it being mapped?

Could be coilpack or lambda sensor.

Just read from start to finish, bat s**t crazy but love it.

Well after completing the house purchase last week and with going on holiday next week the car's had little more done to it than a wash and the steering wheel bolt tightening up. Spent enough as it is. Been trying to remove the pins from the second Brembo caliper but to no avail. Tried using a...

Can't fault that

It's pretty poor that and they should have spoken to you. I have to admit though I'm about to do the same with mine as the blasted pins won't come out of one calliper. I'm about to order the modified pins off the guy from clio197.net who does some with an R clip that won't seize in. Worth £41 in...

I've not seen them either

Tried to remove the pad retaining pins on the 197 Brembo calipers that I'm going to install on the 172. Failed! Will not come out of the N/S caliper even with lots of swearing and hammering. Need a re-think.

Been eventful already, this crash from the number 1 Audi in practice is massive, hope Duval is ok. http://www.carthrottle.com/this-horrendous-crash-has-just-happened-at-the-le-mans-24-hours-practice/
