Thanks for the tip, that's certainly a good place to start - mobile too! ;-)

Hi, Been slowly reconditioning the rear end of my 172 cup, previously shot blasted and painted rear beam and mounts, powerflex bushes, suspension refresh cleaned up stub axles and painted callipers which I'm about to rebuild, new brakes to make up ...the whole shabang. Just fitting the...

^^^this^^^ I've had this the other day in a slightly different scenario (with an after market added 12v socket in a different car plus a Berlin twin USB adaptor) - annoyingly the centre pin wouldnt reach the +12v plate inside. So definitely check out the length of your USB adaptor is of a...

Another +1 on lower 'strong' sub frames if the price is right. Also +1 on the brake deflectors.

Having my own made up/modify my omp's is probably the way I'll go to.

Adam is struggling to get a hold of these cup brake lines with the extra flexi hose at the calliper end - only the full copper ones are now showing on their systems. I need to replace both rear lines from the chassis backwards so I'm thinking of getting some full length flexies made up fro Hel...

Awesome cup that gazwold

In the same boat on the suspension itself for a track/sprint focused (road legal) 172 cup. Are the PMS top mounts worth it over the OEM? Would cooksport springs lower a 172 cup even further from standard? Where's the best place to get 'em? Cheers.

Had a go at DIY sand blasting, not a bad first attempt... ...before and after shot obviously

They look good, its close to becoming a how to article for the members section ;-) Any chance you could recommend the gauge and dimensions of the material you used, and where you sourced it, and also the hangers? Are there additional fixings underneath, a pic would be great? Cheers

Have a rear beam and white line ARB about to go off for sand blasting and powder coating. Will probably be doing the stub axles and rebuilding and paint callipers myself in black and silver respectively. All this is on a mondial blue 172 cup destined to be a road legal track and hillclimb...

Thanks for the advice all, genuine it is then.

s**t, bloody tapatalk, I mean't to post it there :-s Thanks for letting me know. Can a forum mod please move this thread?

So I'm stripping and rebuilding the rear bear section on a 172 cup. One of the brake lines has already been bent in the past and is now rusty and no doubt just waiting to fail. The other n/s shorter one I wrecked when detaching from the calliper... Doh! Though I could get it re-flared I guess...

What kinda price we looking at for these, as I need some? Why genuine, are ECP pagid ones not good enough?

Bloody hell, very lucky escape.

Have PM'd. Not sure on model but I can check tonight, here's a pic from which you might recognise it. (Masking tape is me looking at potentially making some OMP side mounts fit - bimarco seat is too wide)

Thanks, thought it was worth a shot ;-). I'm just weighting up my options, might go down the same route, or modify these OMPs I have.

Don't suppose you have drawings for them, or otherwise a contact and price? Otherwise I'll have to modify my OMP ones. Thanks.

Having the same problems, did you find a solution in the end?

^^ as sburrell93 says. Just been through this myself, I found it to be a break in the actual wiring in the steering squib - so you might have to trace it or get it connected to a diagnostics system to help identify the location of the fault. Make sure you've doubled the resistor legs that you...

Thanks for the offers, much appreciated, but the car is currently SORN while I'm working on it. But the good news is that I found and fixed the problem. Thanks to the pin out diagram that ianboom kindly provided and a little time and patience, I was able to pin point the location of the fault...

Thanks, yes I'm fairly experienced with a multimeter so a pinout would be much appreciated, its only so I can identify the point of failure before investing into more equipment

Can someone help me out before I loss my mind sifting through the previous posts regarding the airbag and SERV light. Is there a cheap (priven) device that can interrogate the airbag ECU for fault code without me having to have access to CLIP? Resetting the codes would be a bonus, but right...

Awesome, thanks

Glad I asked, thanks for the help all, that's a cracking price. So do I just ring Wembley branch and ask for Justin/Chaz? Or, Feirny do you also work for ECP?

Is that Joe Punter price or trade only?

That's good to know and explains why I hear many instances of people buy parts from there yet the website comes up with sweet fa in the search results for me. I'll try them as well, thanks!

FLOBALOB and Ryanph1rs thanks for replying. Regarding euro car parts, how come they are not listed on their website?

Thanks pal, I'll give them a shot. Any others anyone ?
