Bought everything that I need and think I know what needs connecting to what other than the blue wire - do I just tape that up out of the way or does it need connecting to something?
Looks like a great starting point. I recently picked up a 172 and am waiting til October to insure it too but I do go out in it occasionally using an app called Cuvva (short term insurance). Pretty cheap to take it on a run out on a nice weather weekend drive but cost depends quite a bit on...
Thats great then, we'll be arriving at the same time but i think my car will be too low with a person and our belongings in the back so would prefer to take another car
Quick question - just realised I've booked all 3 tickets (me and a friend and brother-in-law) under my car reg but we may be going in 2 cars, will this be a problem?
I'm not too far from you to be honest, I'm in Stoke so it's just a trip down the A50. I'll get it opened up and find out what filter is in there for you
where are you based? I've got a standard airbox with what I think is a good filter but i can get it open and have a proper look. Would you be interested in a swap for the induction kit if youre close enough?
How do most people secure their ph1 airbox? I've used cable ties for now but this is a very short term solution. Also, can anybody link me to the plastic screws that should be in place where I've used cable ties either side of the bonnet catch (can you tell I work in IT?)
Great stuff - payday tomorrow so will get a ticket. Won't be taking mine on track yet but might get a passenger lap if someone doesn't mind the extra weight in their car :D
Should be booking my ticket soon and a friend is planning on booking too and has a question (but he's not a member) - can you have BBQ's in the camping area? I know some places can be strict on stuff like that and can't see any info on it.
Is it normal for the battery on my 172 to be flat after not using it for 2 weeks? It was fully charged 2 weeks ago and started and ran for about 20 mins last weekend but otherwise hasn't been used. Do I need to be looking at a new battery or will this be fine when I start using the car on a...
Looking good. I work in Chesterton (next to PSI tuning) so really close to you and will definitely consider four ashes when I need anything doing that I don't want to do myself.
Hows the noise for daily driving?
Oh I've also got the bonnet catch aligned properly so that works and got the adhesive off the roof that was left from the camo vinyl.
Original wheels are now out of the boot and on my 1.2 that i currently use daily as it needed new tyres anyway so this was cheaper and less hassle.
Currently got...
Just a little update from the nice weekend we've just had. Finally got around to changing the cracked wing for one I got off @stevem42 a few weeks ago. Looks far better now and managed to change it without taking the side skirts off :D
next decision is what to do about the paintwork as theres...
