Sorry, just realised you only put 4.8l in, so in theory it should be okay. As Martin says, maybe didn't drain it long enough so there was loads of old oil still in there.

I almost did this last night. You'll never drain all the oil out. 5.1l is for a brand new dry engine, so 5l is the recommended amount when doing an oil change.

Thanks mate. I'm not sure, it's one that Sprayshack did. In some lights it looks a bit purple and others it looks a nice gun metal grey, I like it though.

Got round to doing a few of the above jobs, and fixed an electrical niggle which made the indicator come on when I reversed and braked. Fitted the cup shocks all round, feels so nice now. Fitted my new inlet, fuel rail guard, and new coolant tank, really made a difference I think. Also did an...

Future Coatings, near Rentech off of Eastern Road, decent job. Gonna buy some proper plastic cleaner etc and clean the airbox properly.

Yay, just finished doing this! New sprayed inlet and fuel rail guard, coolant bottle, and polished bolts. Just need to clean it all and sort throttle body.

Anyone please? Doing shocks now

Changing my shocks on my 172. What car are the top hats on the left for? Will they fit on new 172cup shocks?

Ah okay, I assumed it would be completely like stuck to the old inlet. Cheers

Bump.. Fitting my new upper inlet manifold tonight, can I take the gasket off of the old one and put it on the new one? (Don't laugh.. I can't even fix a puncture). The above seems to be if you're refitting the same one.

Hahahah wtf! How has that fitted on that?!

Good luck! I don't suppose the front bumper off of the flamer is for sale? (If it isn't as rough as it appears in pics!)

That's lovely other than the window sticker. GLWTS.

Lovely motor. Needs turinis though! This must be @LiquidYellDan old car?

Ah, apologies mate.

You went to a cemetary to take pics, whaaaat haha.

Looks lovely and wide! I want spacers now :(

That looks beautiful! I need some wax trials if anyone is offering haha!

How much should it 'normally' cost? And is this not the same as.. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/how-to-get-a-brand-new-brembo-4-pot-kit-for-under-£600.782877/

So this would be passenger/nearside??

Fitted some nice RS mats. Hopefully get round to fitting this lot in the week. New coolant tank to freshen the bay up, top hats (maybe), oil and coolant change, new cup shocks all round, both track rods if the other arrives in time, and tracking. And I managed to finally find one of...

Quite a few people use @Dan@SJM

YD02 ZFJ - only 3 previous keepers.. Flame red 172.

Bit bloody bright haha! Cool though.

Saw you about 3pm, looked smart!

Mmmm, shiny.

That's lovely. Front bumper looks different? Not sure how/why though

If it's as clean and good as the mileage suggests, had the necessary belt change etc then i'd say 5.5k, or hold onto it for a while and get a lot more. Cracking buy. I bet Rsport would sell for about 7k no doubt.

KC Portsmouth, Auto Cosmetics Gosport and a couple off of Google. All are saying around the £220 mark. Seems it's gonna be best to buy used in Flame red.

As far away in Hampshire from you as possible mate, Portsmouth :( I rolled into a tow bar a while back and it's cracked it and a bit of the plastic vent bit is missing.
