Haha! Does the fitting proceedure I've gone through sound about right? I'm tearing my hair out atm trying to get them to work. Standard halogens are making my dick flaccid. Has any wiring to the battery got to be made (none came with the kit for that btw) ??

True say. Hopefully you can get yours to bloody work!

Bought the kit as reccomended by Stevo and JonesyFX, been having difficulty getting it working. Could someone tell me where I may have gone wrong... With the bulb in situe, I've plugged the connector nearest to bulb into the cars standard bulb connector (which I assume provides the power)...

Tell you what mate, you're a star for that. On a PH1 tape player thing the sticker is different to the tuner list on the later 172 cd slot but it doesn't take long to find out which 4 digits you need to input into the code calculator, a letter followed by 3 digits. Thanks again.

Planet stuff is top notch, been using it since '09! Hi Ed!

Everyone with a 1.6 says 'its rapid for it's engine size'. Did you ever have a go against a 106 gti or a Saxo VTS ;) ?

More to life than being able to insure fast cars. I'd happily be 16/17 again without a car, life was easier then :)

Lovely, love a nice 90 spec S2. Would be good for £7-8k I imagine.

If you're on about the fuel rail gaurd; 2x10mm nuts removed with a socket extension and a 10mm socket

Interesting stuff. I can't quite work out whether the extra outlay for the expensive stuff will recoup itself for me, pains me when I see 1.44 come up when I reach for the Ultra unleaded pump!

IF you've not chose a venue yet, me and 10 mates did Canon Raceway a few weeks back for my birthday. It's located in Coseley just off the Birmingham New Road. Really good indoors track we thought, with 10 people it came to £300.

Ball so hard.

That's rather tasty and I'm not into modified cars as such.

Elf oil and Renault filter, can't go wrong, just done it on mine and the total cost was under £40.

I use the elf too, can't justify the extra for the Pro Race S stuff. Not like you'd ever notice a difference.

Coolant temp sensor

Elf stuff is decent for the money, but nothing special. The best oils as someone else has said are the 'esther based' fully synthetics such as Gulf, Pro Race S, 300v etc.

Redneck at heart is our Ste. Do you know Tom Bolton, BMX'er, has a 106 gti with throttle bodies? He's got those lights on the roof of his Land Rover Defender, serious blinding power lol!

Btw 172's do rust, PH1's are starting to now.

Found this out to be Rob669, after a chat the other day in the same location. Nice guy!

Because it's cheaper than most other hot hatches, and well rated.

Amount of taxis you see on 250k+ miles, I don't see why with adequate servicing this should be any different :) Nice one. P.S. Have you sent those parcel shelf bits out yet :rasp: ?!

Looks nice that Mark, only thing I reckon could improve your set up is some Eibach springs, for £150 that they cost they're meant to make a nice difference with little compromise to the ride quality.

I had mine bought for me at 17 and have no shame in it, same goes for most of my mates. As you say, you wouldn't complain if it was you!

Love the ZS, Al_G Towb, spec a zs up nicely and you've got a top motor. Btw, no shame in having your first car bought for you, seems to be a stigma on here about it at times!

ahahaha ravin blud.

Same here. Lets be honest, they're 6+ year old Clio's, it's unrealistic to think even 'mint' ones won't need money spending on them.

Certainly mate, particularly with being local. I'm planning on doing FCS first just as an introductory thing really, a couple of 15 mins sessions. Same as you my car is totally standard and I largely intend to keep it that way bar a set of Eibach sportlines and some uprated brakes.

Cool! Same as you I've bought a cheap 172 with the intention of familiarising myself with a few light track days :)

Thats what I said!
