And so it begins,
I quite fancied a quick 172 again! After a quick look at my options (n/a, turbo, SC) I decided that I wanted a quick psh1!
Stoddies old bus came up for sale for £3500! I liked the spec sheet but I knew it was going to be a shed lol. The spec list was...
Engine:
Jenvey...
Its quick :) but tbh i was expecting more! Its no way 230 hp! I'm defo going to high comp it, get the head done proper, sort the SHOCKING rad and its fixings :dead: and fit 422s
It needs a good few quid spending on it,
So far i found out it needs..
Pads
Brakes bleeding
tyres
engine mounts...
Not sure where to put this, but this seems the best place :/
Ive got these wheel on the new 172, but i already have 2118s so im going to sell them.
What are they worth? :/
"Rota Circuit 8 lightweight wheels" 15"
There fitted to a car I've and I have never been on track or pushed it hard with these on! (I haven't driven the car yet)
Was thinking of fitting AST/LEDA but if these are up to the job then I dont want to wast 1-1.5k on suspension!
Just bought a clio (picking it up on tuesday, fingers crossed)
Its a well known passed around car (stoddies)
Current engine spec.
Jenvey 48mm ITBs with matched inlets
Catcams 2428 camshafts
Lightened and balanced bottom end.
Mild headwork
Omex 600 ECU
Lightened Flywheel
182 Manifold...

I have a Iphone, I need a hands free kit for a 2005 BMW Business headunit, but i also want to play my audio fromt he iphone through the car,
Seen this
http://astore.amazon.co.uk/buy.cheap.iphone.accessories-21/detail/B0015U6ETK
Anygood?
Also is it hardwired?
CWP say that there policy allows me to cancel 9 months in? (for £30 excess)
It also covers for accidental damage/loss/theft
etc etc.
Its 11.99 PCM which sounds a tad expensive for me? Any others offer the SAME/more as CPW for less?
16GB btw.
My current SE w960i has been replaced 2 times and fixed 3 times. I starting to bug me, I've just had it repaired and i intend to sell it.
So I'm going to buy a iphone pay as you go then put my contract o2 sim in it (I'm 12 months from a upgrade)
Will this work? what about the data/3g...
I have a ipod touch
I want to play it through my car too, I have a 2005 BMW business headunit and cd changer in boot (this seems to make a difference)
The germans always fit a tape deck when you have a cd changer (gay as) but i dont want a povo tape thing you can get.
God knows what imputs...
Dont need more than 8gb, just want to play music, small the better, must have a screen so i can see what songs im playing lol.
