Wish they'd a told me this before they had a go, [AND FAILED COS THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING], at fitting the thing to mine and coming up with a excuse that my car was running so lean that they'd have to by-pass the fuel regulator and that would cost me 140 sheets before they even...

Im in South West Scotland and took mine down to GDI. Took me about 5 hours and i never rushed it. My m8 went from Lockerbie to London in 4 and a half hours flat but he was gunning it. I hired a car from Enterprise down there near GDI. Was really cheap and a damn good service which i can...

Make your own built in holder ;)

Without lowering 17's look soooooooooooooooooooooooo out of place [ tbh even with imho] 15's are the way to go

If this was a RS Ford we were talking about its value would have practically doubled due to a telly appearance!!

Here's a video of that Micra in action http://media.putfile.com/Mental-Micra

Its so well written this that some folk could actually belive it !! lol

Had to ditch the spare wheel so the amps would drop in the spare wheel well thats the only thing. If tyre weld is good enough for the Cup boys then its good enough for us full phat 172 drivers ;-)

My first attempt at a install. Pretty light and sounds mighty fine.

Nah not keen. They just look a bit too ''aftermarket'' imo

Get the Valver booked in for a tune up. You only had to see on Top Gear how much bhp those 2 old Ferrari and Lambo 's had lost over the years. Its not all about bhp and weight ''all'' the time !! :]

No way can you get magnisum 2020's for £460 a set !! Even if you could they'd be useless for road use. They'll be the 2118's the alloy look a like version. I rang round loads a company's and first up not many could get them unless i orded 3 to 4 sets at a time and the ones i could where...

Cheers mate :] Not to everyones taste white rims on a silver car

Some idea's on getting cold air in: Bonnet on this one looks pretty cool but not a clue who makes it !! Not sure if these vents on these replacement front wings would be affective enough

Good guide although for mine all i did was drill 3 holes in the inside of the fog light surround and used small self taping screws just to fasten it on to the outer edge of the Viper trumpet rim. I shouldnt need to buy replacement fog surrounds if i come to fit the fogs back again. Also...

Would love to fit buckets but the fixed position puts me off cos i'd imagine them to be horrid on long trips. Look well tidy all the same

What did you put back on in its place to give the 20 bhp extra?? The standard air box ??

I turned my Koni's up a bit cos the ride wasnt firm enough !!

Noooooooo not another Clio on Turinis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its been done a billion times !!! Be different

If you buy a pair of front buckets is it possible to get them trimmed in exactly the same fabric colour as the standard seats or will it be a nearest match job ?? Anyone know if there is a code for the front alcantara fabric on a mk1 172 ??

Was thinking why not do this, myself !! Cant belive its taken 2 pages for someone to suggest it lol It is a very easy thing to take off and its just about guaranteed to sort this hassle out for ya.

Think mines developed the exact same problem as yours this last week. do you get a kind of clunking noise when travelling on a uneven road too ?? Im thinking its gotta be either the anti roll bar or worn bushes somewhere

Got a mk1 172 and its developed a creeking noise when i turn the steering wheel at low speeds. It also has a ''clattering noise'' when i go over rough area's of road. Any idea's and how to fix it ?? Thanks

Sometime folk on here can be so bitchy. chill out

Bad but not the worse ive seen. Got a few bits from a Cup and a mk1 172 in my local breakers and they where so bad you couldnt tell they were sport models !! Engine should be ok out of that unless its had a rupture of some sorts and the interior looks to have escaped undamaged by those pics.

At the flywheel not the wheels.

most of the above links arnt working cos you aint putting [img] at the front of the link
