My 172 has developed a "whine" from the engine bay. This occurs when the revs raise and fall. Not only when im going along, but also when i rev the engine at standstill. Has anyone else had this problem? I read that people have had problems with the waterpump - could it be this? It sounds...

I wrote this yesterday but just before id finished writing a review on each test drive my computer crashed before i could post it! gol dang it! Anyway, I test drove a load of different cars prior to buying mine. Proton Gti - nice looking but horrible/cheap interior, good handling but very...

As i said in another post, Im sure everyones had some stage of madness when it comes to mods in their lives, write down what mistake(s) youve made on previous cars/mods. I confess to buying a blow pipe for my old scirocco! it cost £15 from C.A.R. and it sounded like a Pig snorting and at about...

At last, the race id been waiting for. After driving around for a while id had a few good ones, including one Skyline GTS (new style, two tone paint) 2.5 turbo (not the ultra fast GTR twin turbo) any after racing him several times weve decided that our cars are pretty much even. We took lots...

Does anyone have any officially tested results for the CUP, mk.1 172, mk.2 172? Itd be nice to have a table comparing all the 0-60, 0-100, 30-70,50-70 etc albeit similar. The CUP should really be a fair bit quicker than the mk.1 as its lighter and has the mk.2 throttle body (better torque...

Hey there. I noticed a while back and forgot to post my findings on here: these were that after monkeying around with the pipes on my airbox and detaching/reattaching etc and finally attaching again I found that my car felt very sluggish/unresponsive and pretty slow :( As you can imagine, many...
