after fitting AST coilovers i noticed that the adjusting bit on the top of them above the top mount fouled the bonnet. Therefore we cut a small hole in the underskin of the bonnet but this cannot be right? i noticed people on here say you should never tighten them with a socket/airgun which we...
looking at treating myself in feburary when i get my uni grant. Instead of getting a new car i think i will go for throttle bodies the question is where should i get them from?
i will fit them myself but not too sure about the wiring as it will need a standalone ecu.
can you buy all the parts...
Noticed recently on my 172 whenever i change gear from 2nd to 3rd gear the cars revs dont really drop. Its hard to explain but it sounds like its riding the clutch when changing quickly even when your foot is totally off the gas.
It only doesnt do this if you slow down your gear changes to a...
Earlier this year
Me and Bazzon decided that we didnt want to destroy our RS's on track so we came to plan of buying a cheap car to do track days. The plan was to either buy a 172 or a valver. Since the cost were split 50/50 we decided to go for a ph1 172. We saw one being advertised on here...
The 172 track car is in the process of getting sprayed. Decided to go for white.
Now the question is, what colour wheels?
could someone please photoshop that so its white with either white or black wheels :o

When either accelerating quickly in 1st or 2nd i hear a crack noise from the left hand side. Its only a 1 off noise, not a continous noise. It also happens when dropping it down gears quickly.
Sounds like an engine mount to me.
any ideas?
thanks

Looking at getting a new PC to take to uni with me. I have around £1000-£1500 to spend. Can either be built by a company or built by myself.
Main uses are applications but would like to use it for some of the next gen games.
My current system is:
AMD fx55
2gb ram
7800GS 256mb AGP (lol)

thinking about getting the track car sprayed in a new colour while it is off the road for abit during autumn. It must be a flat colour rather than a metallic.
Ive narrowed it down to Glacier White, Racing Blue or Cap Red (trophy colour)
i found a picture of a racing blue ph1 so decided to...
Visited RStuning (http://www.rstuning.co.uk) in leeds this afternoon to get the car remapped. Decided to go for a custom map due to car having cams and a few other mods. Even with the scorching heat of 27c the car still managed to make 181.9bhp after paul had worked his magic. (could have had...
Going to respray the track car within the next few months...
the question is what colour should i go for?
it must be a block colour rather than a metallic or perl paint.
my thoughts were either Glacier White or Racing Blue with a white interior and white cage or even Porsche GT3 green
What i...

missfire this time lol! well i think its a missfire. Around 3k rpm in any gear you can hear a bang and the car misses, while this is happening the rpm needle is going mental.
