After buying the car 2 weeks ago it has annoyed me how bad the paint was. Due to lack of time it has taken me this long to sort it out. Borrowed a hand from Jacko172Cup to help detail/PC it. The car has come up a treat and looks stunning. The wheels are badly marked and will be re-furbed within...

Got a bit of a noise when turning left, doesnt matter how much i turn or how little. As soon as i put a little bit of left steer on it starts like a grinding noise as if something is catching. The noise is like a grinding/groaning noise, generally this would point me to the wheel bearing. I...

getting my current block bore'd and just woundering whats peoples opinions on removing them completely? will the fling from the crank be enough to cool the underside of the pistons? would removing them help with oil pressure? car's mainly used solely for track and will have a fully forged...

im a chav :( finally fitted an amp into my 172. I hate them with a passion but my Alpine X types and Alpine R-types were severally underpowered and distorting heavily. Working in halfords part time have thier advantages as i got this amp and all the wiring stupidly cheap and it sounds pretty...
