drill the heads off otherwise you could split or pull the bumper.

Would explain why I can't find one...

anyone know if the cup has one and if so where it might be located. Whipped the scuttle panel off only to find a big space...

got an obd reader. Might just need a fault code clearing as its been disconnected? French electrics eh....

The spacers finished off the t/r ends in about a year.... They were old tbf as the tracking guy had to oxyacetylene the passenger one off...

Mine was the opposite. I found the extra width gave a sharper turn in. Does wear your track rod ends out a bit quicker though!

25mm on mine with cup turini's and Eibachs.

you mean first 'meat':D

eh, don't knock it til you've tried it. Nothing wrong with a bit of casual bumming amongst heterosexual men.... large groups of men...

agreed with others, don't do anything other than the original colour ALL over, no black...

That's the 172 cup, poverty spec! Joe's is a 182 cup so has the mod cons with a cup handling pack so to speak.

Mines doing something similar so I'm replacing the clutch as I'm pretty sure it's on the way out. Clutches are around £110-£120 from Ecp or gsf for the own Valeo ones. Not sure on labour costs though, £100-£200 at a guess. If you sign up the gsf and Ecp mailing list they do promo codes all the...

great pics, looked like fun

300mm OMP for me. Its a daily and its in no way too small, suits the lively character of the car:-)

misfires in my experience on these cars are either the coil pack failing or an injector failing. These seem to be the most reoccurring causes. 4 is the closest one to the oil fill cap so they fill up with fluid more than the others.

wouldn't worry. The spark ends look ok for old plugs and they are slightly more important. Just a bit of corrosion on old plugs I suspect as water and oil get down there quite easily.

recently silenced mine as it was decatted and the supersorts version when I bought it, was very loud and droney.

had apex 40's on my first 172 and they very harsh on the road, track may be ok though.

July 8th mucker. That was the old date proposal. Here's hoping better weather. :-)

I've had 2 172's and they both had short travel heavy clutches. Had a spin in somebody else's 172 on the weekend and it was the same as both mine so I say this is the norm in my experience.

Sounds like a failing injector. You wont get a fault code coke up unless its a prolonged misfire. Had a similar issue with mine and took 2 weeks to narrow it down to injector 4 failing. Had to keep driving and then wait for fault code, scan it then swap it with another injector, drive it and...

had my plastics do the same, its minging and weird stuff. Just replaced the handles with some cheap spec plastic non coated ones that I got off here for a tenner. Quick respray job done.

I fitted a red one recently. It took an hours swearing but got it in there come the end. They are tight and not helped by the fact they squash as your trying to press them in. I wonder if it's because you got the black ones and they are solid. I do get a bit of resonance at full chat but adds to...

People want to try 8th July. It's a Friday once again. Let's hope for better weather too.??

Got rained off mate. Only 3 of us confirmed so we thought we'd postpone it and hope for better weather. No new date set yet. Probably do it CSF now. Maybe the 8th July. I work shifts so can only do every other week and weekends are hectic as I have 3 kids and one on the way! I'll post it up in...

If it's split then it's time to replace it. The adjuster is just a 2 spanner job. Can't remember the sizes. One each side, hold one turn the other.i

no cant do csf. Will post up another date in a few days probably.

I'm in Bristol. Where are you?

To be honest mate probably not worth it. If it was clear and sunny id say carry on but the weather isn't great and that'll probably put of few people off. We'll rearrange I reckon.

@Clio_Scott92 fixed his gearbox?
