But then your car would be quicker then mine once you get your 2ltr convertion - i cant be having that ;) Thinking about having them powdered in white like weights - Not sure i really want bigger wheels TTTT.

Not really rob, but give Elite a call 01708 525577 - very cheap. Very profressional and polite place too. They have an indoor cafe / MTV playing while they do there work. I bought some Toyos from there 2yrs ago, again very good service and very cheap. There tracking system is mental too - even...

Elite - in Essex just quoted me £44 per corner for GD3 F1s fitted & balanced!! 195/50/15s. Cant see anyone doing better then that!! ill just have to wait until after Xmas as im skint at the mo :( Think ill go for a full set.

found it :D

Fair point - but i must be going blind, i cant find it! :confused:

i would go out and have a look at my current profile, buts its too cold :oops:

For those that are running standard phase 1 or 2 15inch alloys on your valvers - could you advise me what tyre profile i need. Standard factory tyres were 185/55/15, im looking to buy a set of F1s after xmas and i need to get some quotes. what should i go for? 195/55/15 or 195/50/15...

BE rebuild works out £600 i think (not sure if that inc VAT) from http://www.hillpower.co.ukwww.hillpower.co.uk - well worth it if your thinking of keeping your car. Tho there prob will be a charge for removing the lump too etc.. Best doing it your self if your brave enough. Or just slap a...

Lee - how much did they work out if you dont mind me asking? Im running low on rubber, thinking of going down the same path after Xmas. Where did you order from? What size?

Hillpower charge £600 (no idea if thats including VAT tho?!) If your brave enough then have ago yourself. :confused:

Very true U33db

how much you looking at for the head work? £1500ish ?

it maybe worth thinking along the lines of TB instead if you going down the road of serious head work. Although TB will prob cost alittle more (think someone quoted £1800 for the kit) the performance improvments for £££ are much better. Youll prob see almost 190 - 200 bhp with TB.

any idea to what sort of $$$ the convertion is?

Sorry but 20mpg in a 16v aint right - 33mpg would be about average id say. i used to easy clear 400miles plus on a full tank before i had my 2.0ltr put in. Seems like your running rich - real rich if you ask me. Even if you drove every where like a nutter you should see better. How many miles...

at what RPM ?

whats a UJ? can you remind me what kind of steering problems you were having as im starting to get a loose feel from the wheel too.

Id say £30 + VAT was a "very" good price mate. im looking at £240 i think to get my turbines powered & refurb.

When they say "arm" i take it they meant the rod ends? if so, not to much of an issue. Think there £14 from andyspears m8. Ask them if they meant "track rod ends"

Dont be a tart ;) - ofcourse you can mix them. You wont notice any difference if you wait for the 95ron to run out first.

Ian - if you find some fog light covers let me know fella! ive searched every where and cant find any. Id like a set of white / rally style ones. i was thinking of adding some mud flaps too.

Thanks Ben & everyone else who replied. Ill have to wait until i get a day off work to take a look as it gets dark to quickly now. Ill also have a compression test at my next service. Hope its nothing serious... there was a "how to" not long ago showing you how to clean your own tappets. I...

Ive noticed since having my 2.0ltr conversion that the engine on idle seems to rattle quite a bit :( my other 16v lump was silent! Which i think in someways reflects the condition of the engine (i always changed my filter after 6k ect). I know the noise is produced by a sticky tappet(s) - dirt...

Yes i would.

Not only will Nick Hill lower your motor m8, but hell do it using the correct geometry to get your car cornering spot on. Alot these "garages" or so called "tuners" will drop your car level on 55mm springs and thinking they have done a good job, when in fact they have just made it worse. its...

its hard to think quickly when things like this happen, thinking about it now - yeah i should have took her keys / boxed her in so she couldnt get out / decked her - but when your just registering what has just happend its too late. the damage isnt too bad - not as bad as yours Glenn when you...

same thing happen to you Rob? this happend in sidcup highstreet.

Vix - There was no one around, thats why i was tempted just to punch her to death.. 1. for lying, 2. for not being able to drive, 3. for drving a corsa. She was trying to tell me she hadnt hit me when it was clear my paint was on her front bumper! along with my paint was 6 other dents, paint...

Just got back to my car to find a lovely gash in my rear bumber!!! worse thing is i saw the girl who done it and she drove off before i clocked her plate or details! She just denied it and drove off Lovely - as you can guess im seriously f**ked off! no CCTV in the area to prove anything. How...

Its all in the mind if you ask me, the 172 is a too newer car to benefit from additives like slick. How can a product like this iron out a flatspot?
