Had my 172 on the rollers last weekend just out of curiosity really to see how it was running. Came back pretty happy with these results: To my knowledge the engine is standard besides a ktec stealth catback and a cone filter positioned behind the headlight. Comparing it to a few other 172...

So since the details of CSS 15 have been revealed, and tickets are now available to purchase here, I want to start planning for the drive down and get a list of who's going. The idea is to all meet up and head down in a convoy on the Friday 31st, possibly meeting up with other groups on the way...

Will keep it short and sweet since it's taken long enough to get a thread up already, sorry! Next monthly meet. 19th March @ 7pm. Should really be back over in the east this month to keep things fair but I was thinking Livingston way since it's relatively central, if we can find some free...

Heading southbound today at 16:55. I was heading the other way and just spotted the stickers on the B pillars and the cup spoiler over the barrier!

Firstly bear with me here. Due to a frosty morning and short days, I only got halfway through and just started to get polishing, but will be finishing this next weekend (weather permitting) and get this thread updated. Also, all photos have been taken from my phone unfortunately as I never...

Decided I'd finally get a video of this and see if anyone knows what the problem is. Basically, in 1st and 3rd gear there is a LOT of side to side movement/play. 2nd and 4th are fine, as is 5th gear. I'll let the video explain the rest, but you can see when I select 1st and let the gearstick go...

Regular monthly meet for the South East/West of Scotland areas. They'll be on the 3rd Thursday of every month, alternating between a few different general locations around the central belt, so it's fair for everyone. Myself and/or Djw John will always try to be in attendance at these meets in...

To cut a long story short, my brake fluid ran a low and I'm now 99% sure I've pulled air into the clutch system this morning 😧. Pedal is spongy and only about half the usual travel, and it wont go into gear. Does it sound like I'll need to bleed the clutch now or will a fluid top up do...

Who fancies it? Monday 2nd February. Will say about 6:30pm for now, but can be a bit later if need be. More details below. ------------------------------------------ Endless Slab Mondays Just £19.95! All you can eat and eat, every Monday evening. Order our endless slab of Baby Backs and...

So, as before, this is our regular monthly meet for the South East/West of Scotland areas. They'll be on the 3rd Thursday of every month, alternating between a few different general locations around the central belt, so it's fair for everyone. Myself and/or Djw John will always try to be in...

Ok, so my current set up is a Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD, an OCZ (vertex 3 I think) SSD also 250gb , and a 2TB HDD. I've fired a clean windows install on to the Samsung drive as that's replacing my OCZ one. All my documents and data are set to be on the HDD which is how I want it, but I'm trying...

This will be the new monthly meet for the South East/West of Scotland areas. It'll take place the 3rd Thursday of every month. We will be alternating between the East and West each month, or possibly moving around various different locations in the Central belt. Myself and/or Djw John will...

Only just done this on me today, on a warm-ish engine (temp gauge was just starting to rise off the bottom). Car fired up easily, but as the revs settled down they seemed to just drop back too much and then the engine stalled. Starting after that took the engine a few seconds of turning over...

Evening people :) Bored, so I thought I'd start a project thread for my most recent purchase! A ph1 172, 96k (roughly) on the clock, bought off a member on here on Friday, before that it belonged to Chi, and possibly another member on here before that. Unsure on it's full history, but the car...

Spotted it going the other way from me this morning on the expressway about half 7. Anyone on here?

I got my wheels powder coated last week, and want to get them properly sealed now. I've got CQuartz DLux stuff that I plan on using, but I've heard most of the work is in the prep and getting the wheels clean enough for it to apply properly. The wheels have built up a fair bit of brake dust on...

Hoping someone can help me here. I want to connect my XB One to my PC speakers. Anyone got any recommendations for a sound card? From what I can see, I'll need an optical input on the card to connect the Xbox, but apart from that, I have absolutely no idea what i'm looking for. I have a set...

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201405094082080 Am I missing something here or is this ridiculously cheap? Seems very dodgy!

I'm in the middle of replacing half my rear brake setup and stub axles. Changing from non-sport DISC stub axles to 182 stub axles for the extra track width. Anyway, after removing it all I've noticed that the plugs on the abs sensors where they plug in to the cables on the car don't match up...

Passed you heading northbound, heading towards Cumbernauld. MarcR ? Surely can't be more than one of these in such a nice condition around this area.

Seems like I have never ending bearing problems on my car :( Firstly, the noise I have on the car is like a wheel bearing. I've checked both wheels and there's no grinding or play in the hubs. Also both front wheel bearings have seen less than 20k miles, the newer of the two being changed about...

Reg Y534 something. About 21:15 tonight You passed me going along the M9 and then I followed you down the slip road. Needs a good clean ;)

Started trying to fit rear hub spacers today to my car, which went well up until the point where I got the disc off and was greeted by this weird looking setup. It's different to any rear hub on a Clio I've ever seen. That part is bolted straight to the beam using bolts with E-torx heads...

Is there any difference in the hubs with regards to the number of splines on the driveshafts of the clio dci 65, 80 and 100? I'm pretty sure the flanged part of my hub is somehow fucked and isn't running straight. A new one is 120 quid so I was hoping to try and pick one up on ebay or from...

I hate cars. The stop, glow plug and the red EML light with stop written in the middle come on when going to work this morning. No loss of power or anything. No injection fault in the dash diagnostics fault finding thingy. Car is still running and starting fine, although it did take a bit longer...

Had a search, but nothing seems to really cover what I'm experiencing. When the car is cold or hasn't been driven in a while, I'm getting quite a bit of clutch judder on gear changes, but it goes away after a while. As far as I know, it's the original clutch that's on the car, but it doesn't...

Hi all, currently running this graphics card in my pc: http://uk.msi.com/product/vga/R7850-2GD5-OC.html Can't fault it's performance since I bought it earlier this year, but my only problem with it is the stock fan is pretty loud at anything above 50% speed, which it easily reaches when...

Been reading up on steering geometry and how spacers affect the scrub radius and all that. I want to fit spacers to my car, front and rear, with probably somewhere between 15-25mm on the front. So my question is, would spacers of that size affect the handling all that much for normal road...

Wasn't really sure where to post this, but I got a wifi ELM327 adapter off eBay today. Tried it out with various apps off the App Store and they either didn't work at all, or once they did work, the refresh rate from the live data was about once every second or more. Compare this to a similar...

As above, replaced a wheel bearing about 2 months back, probably covered around 3000 miles and it's failed again. Removed and replaced the hub myself but got a garage to press the bearings out/in. Is it possible to press the bearing in wrong or is it probably just a bad/faulty bearing?
