Hipwell sounds like you want a new thermostat fitting if thats the case.. iv got one to fir in mine as its abit dodgy

The F1 GSD's were on my old 172 CUP when i bought it.. i found in the cold leading up to winter they were shite tbh, the rubber went rock hard and didnt grip much at all.. Couldnt even reverse my car onto the drive as it just span when there was any snow down, bearing in mind the kerb was...

Y Ah i sold the plate seperate to the car, i know JonR bought the car back.. shouldnt have sold it but at the time i couldnt bring myself to put anymore money into it

Quickly cut down work/progress so far, had the timing checked by Andy @ CT as i knew it wasn't quite right on my drive home - was found to be retarded so Andy corrected it for me. Then came Brand New Cup shocks & Eibach sportlines with New Genuine top mounts (ran them on the Cup) Front pads &...

Whilst i waited for the insurance to pay out i popped down to Bedford to borrow the step fathers JCW GP to get to and from work as it sits not being used majority of the year.Loved every minute of using it, great handling car especially with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports, got offered the car...

Alright lads, some of the older members may remember me from the days of owning my Iceberg Cup (J9 CUP) I replaced this with a Mk1 3 MPS, which i had for just over 2 years and modified nicely (bigger turbo and all supporting mods) which was heading for 380BHP and similar torque.. however one...

Milltek are pretty quiet on 172's.. had one on my old CUP and i used to drive from Bedford to Durham without stopping without any issues

Not bad of a car, bottom ends are toffee on them tho.. got bored of mine after a year, had BNR S3 turbo (2871) with supporting mods heading for 380BHP but bottom end went one night on my way home from work and ditched the oil on the red hot Downpipe and went up in flames. Dont miss the car...

Well bringing a very old post back from the dead, anyways i ended up with quite a few mods on the car and was all set for 380BHP when on the way home from work one night it decided to blow a hole through the block where the oil return bolted. This ended up with a fire ball as it dropped the oil...

Well 2 months in of ownership and im still really enjoying the car, haven't done anything to it apart from a TurboSmart re-circ valve and the VVT kit as it started to rattle after a service so got it done the very next week, found it's got a Sure rear engine mount fitted which seems to be a well...

true courtesy car isn't bad but the length of time for this build has been far to long in my eyes unless of course sharky has been building the funds up as the time has gone on to allow for more/better upgraded parts along the way

jesus i haven't been on here in around 2 months and i thought when i clicked it may finally be at the point of the car been complete, no way could i of waited this long for it to be done but thats me

As above, looking for some pointers on the quickest way to do this as il be tackling it very soon, basically since buying the MPS in Jan the cup has just sat and not been used as the alternator packed up in 2 weeks of been sat, was going to break the car but after a stupidly low renewal off...

I guess the company you mentioned been in the North East for the MPS is Possibly Total Mps in Newcastle? Already got a few things in my shopping basket from then but as theyre only a short journey from me il probs just go up and collect the parts

Liam the bonnet scoop is mk2's and not so sleeperish in my eyes, i wanted something what blends in 2 people who dont know much about cars. Been looking at downpipe etc already, who mapped yours btw?

i'd looked and drove VXR's and was disappointed with it tbh on the power side of things, looked at R26's and then thought bugger it i dont want another french and then i seen this and though its something different and not really any about around where i live, completely standard at the moment...

Well i haven't really posted on here for quite a while now partly because i have no spare time really and the fact i'd lost quite abit of interest in my 172 cup, after 3 yrs the time had came to finally move on to another car and after a week or 2 of looking i finally decided on this, went and...
