    Changing Side Lights!!

    Mate its fiddley but for the mk2 it does not mean removing the bumper to fit the side lights. I changed the silvervision bulbs (indicators) and freebee side light together in 20 mins... its not hard. Drivers side is tight but thats all. You can even see the sidelight being removed from the...

    Eibach Sport Line or Pro Kit Springs

    I have had the pro kit fitted 1 week now and am totally chuffed with the difference. This is only on std shocks!! I know that I have at least 15mm drop. I wanted better performance and ride quality over ride height/looks and solidness. The Sport line will drop the car and it will be solid...

    Ride height

    The Eibachs are fitted! :D There is no uneveness either. I put it down to the ground the car was on. I couldnt see the uneven ground with the car on it! Can now tho, tos*er! Now just have to get the miles in to get the car to settle on the new springs, I have some before and after photos...

    Ride height

    The rear of my car sits 25mm lower on the drivers side then the other. The trailing arms seem to be of a similar shape not bent. Could the spirng be more compressed on the drivers side? I have thought that the car handled different ever since I had a puncture on the wheel in question, I...

    Mk2 172 exhaust - how many sections

    The mid section on mine is pants! The flange is not straight, so it doesnt mate up to the cat, right. There is paste around the joint now but thats crap, it has been re-sealed once and re-pasted by Ren. three times! Now it has been said that the part needs replacing. Just what I told them ages...

    172 Insurance question

    telford_mike, did you take a before and after measurement from the center of the wheel to wheelarch? When you say a slight drop, did you get at least 15mm? As the insurance is concerned, it would be just my luck to have an accident and be found that the policy was void... Peace of mind...

    172 Insurance question

    Just informed them of the Eibachs, £87 for the remainder of the policy, till May. They didnt want to know of the Lexus lights. £400 hundered for coilovers, thats unlucky! When getting the quote, I think it makes a difference on how much the parts cost you. Keep the cost of the mod down and...

    172 Insurance question

    Will Tesco sting me for fitting Eibach springs? Or do you know how much (roughly) it costs. I will be letting them know, just wanted to prepare for the extra cost. on the premium.

    Magnex 2x3.5 on a Cup - pics

    Other than that ^ Get one fitted anyway (Magnex, KTR), renault ones wont last and cost too much to replace!!

    Magnex 2x3.5 on a Cup - pics

    Is it possible to have a non visible exhaust? Sometimes I think it makes it seem unequal, unsemetrical with an exhaust showing. As long as the sound and performance is there, I wouldnt/dont worry about the site of an exhaust, would prefer see the car semetical from the rear... Only an opinion.

    Standard ICE in a 172 Mk2

    Not bad, depends what your last ICE was like! Ive uprated the standard speakers all round with Alpine ones. Much better now, but Im sure tons more money could be thrown at the matter!! Hope this helps.
