Bump this back to the top cause I just wanna know what that cradle looks like?

Mk 1 phase 2, just not to confuse anyone :)

Umm you can easy get 40 or 35mm springs, just have a look about. My RT is lowered about 40 on the front and something like 60 on the back and it goes over speed bumps fine on 195,45,15s. No ICE or even spare tyre in yet but it shoud be fine :)

Not for bass!

Id say thats already lowered, have you seen an old Clio on 15s and standard suspension? I used to have to take a broom with me to knock the homeless people out of my arches ;)

My mate does that, kicks out about a 2ft flame! handy for tailgaters!!!

Amazon II - Beats Booyah, an Old Skool Hardcore Jungle track. Proper sub bass, no messing about!

I know someone from Warrington *lol* aye its meant to be such a nice place ;)

Dont mod it at all, till youre bored with it, then do somat :) You get more satisfaction that way imo :)

Ive heard you cant have a stainless steel manifold cause itd just melt so all the stuff sold as a s/s manifold isnt s/s but some other alloy? Anyone know owt about it? Dont suppose it really matters.

When youve done this can you tell me how much stress it was getting it on the RT bumper? Cause plenty of people have said it was easy on the 16v but nothing about the RT so far :)

Hmmm the 106/Saxo does come bottom of used car polls pretty regularly tho.

Hmm I thought they were rain tyres???? Guess not! Does anyone know if they do them in 45s? £114 for a set seems good :)

Fiesta Zetec S, the 2002 one I think, no idea about build quality but they look mint :) But if want somat solidly built, and fast, how about an old Polo G40 Coupe, nice and solid :) , heh but then I just seen youre only 19, forget that one ;)

About the same for me, least Ive had is about 220, most about 320! on average 260-280 :)

Leaky sunroof or aerial, rusty back arches, dodgy idling, dodgy electrics. None of thats major apart from the arches tho :)

Theyre not digital, its to do with the way they amplify the sound. Theyre far more efficient than class A,B,C amps but are lower quality hence are of little use for anything other than subs.

The theory is that at first its still learning how it should be driven, so if you reset it, then with all your mods thrash it a bit itll be used to being driven fast and somehow run better or somat. Dunno how true it is though. Cause surely if it was capable of learning it wouldnt suddenly stop...

What are the extra dials on that to the RT? And how easy are they to fit? I may have a 16v donor car coming my way :) (shame the only bit I cant have is the engine!!!)

I hope none of you lot expect someone to slow down, move over, let you past then speed up to the speed they want and move out again. Cause I get that alot, mainly from Audis or any big car really. I dont see why undertaking could be dangerous, anyone who changes lanes without looking first is...

Cause there is some pride to be taken in saying, yeah this was my first car, started out as a little 1.4 with 80bhp, now its pushing more like 180 :) And its the dream to blow away some big rep mobile beamer at the lights ;)

Right, what size are the bolts and that for the tool he knocked up? I seen the guide before and Im not a member, must be the one Lunner is taking about. I did a search on torsion bar, lowering etc, couldnt find a link to the guide.

Come on someone!!! Please :)

Ahem after doing a search it is all there, sorry and cheers :)

Sorry got a bit impatient and Ive not had much luck with the search recently! :)

Just about to as in on the weekend :P

I was looking into doing the 16v brake conversion and I was hoping someone on here who has done it could tell me exactly what I need and how much the bits would cost. So I know about calipers, discs, pads, but Ive been told I may need new master cylinders, new back plates, the back brakes might...

Wheres the torsion bar adjusting guide gone? Can anyone give me any details about the torsion bar removal tool the guy in the guide knocked together? Do you have to do anything with the swinging arm? Someone I know reckons this is the way to do it? Had I best spay some wd40 on it? And if...

Thing is, your average car theif cant steal a 172 anyway, chipped key and I assume standard immobiliser and all that. And anyone who really wants that car isnt gonna be put off by a steering lock!

Oh I could knock the new shape Clio on looks believe me! But as they say its all a matter of opinion ;)
