went to do my brakes on my dci today, not removed the wheel since i got it and it appears the locking nut on one of the wheel has been badly damaged by a previous owner/garage so basically the key doesnt fit in it! so looks like im going to need to drill it out or something? never done it before...
wondering if the bottom arms are the same on both the dci and 172 as my dci is needing brakes and since ive got a nearly new set of brembo disks, greenstuff pads, and 172 hubs lying around was going to fit them along with the 4 newish dampers and eibachs from my 172! (coilovers and 4 pots coming...

Was going to keep this quiet but after a weeks work and some time collecting parts im too excited and need to spill the beans LOL
anyway, the 172 after 5years and 45k miles of hard driving was starting to feel a little tired, still pulling stronger than ever with the 182 manifold and decatted...

the wee bargain dci is running brilliant apart from one little problem, its dropping off boost at 3k revs, you hear the turbo dropping off and the car stops pulling then at around 3.3/3.4k revs you hear it spooling up again.

apparently its got thousands of...
