Morning all, Went to Tesco this morning, came back to the car and it was p*ssing down. Just as i got back in the car a women walked past putting her umbrella away and clobbered my passenger mirror! She scooted off and got into her blokes car and did one!!!!! She knew the damage she did...

Just bought myself a Sparco 'Ring' wheel in suede to replace my crumbling RS-1 item. :( i'm trying to get an idea of how it will look whilst i wait for delivery... i know GDI's demo have my exact wheel, so if anyone has any interior pictures of this, that would be great. Thanks Chris

Just bought a Sparco 'Ring' wheel in black suede... bought the fitting kit that comes with a resisitor to stop the airbag light coming on. anyone fitted one, and where does the cable go with the new wheel on?! I know GDI have one on their demo...Andy? Thanks in advance Chris

Saw you coming out of the village heading towards Heatley. Flashed you and you returned the favour, i was in a Titanium RS-1. Don't see many in that colour, looked really, really nice!!! :approve: Anyone on here? Chris

For absolutely no reason, does anyone have one of these on a Silver RS-1? I know Smokey used to have one on his old car, does anyone have any pictures of this? I remember it looked great on the Mk1. ;) Many thanks in advance. Chris

Putting some major overtime in at work in the hope of ordering these next month. i need the best possible price though. My car is a Mk1 172 (2000 W reg) Many thanks Chris

Hi all, I'm in a bit of a mix on what to do now my car is paid for. As most of you know, at the moment i have the RS-1 in the picture. Went and had a look round at a few places with the old king at the weekend, as he was picking up his new car. Saw a couple of really nice 182's in the spec i...

Spotted you on friday heading down Knutsford Road towards Latchford. Looked dirrrrty.:evil: Chris

After my earlier thread showing some progress pictures... Here Now i have come to point where my fingers can really take much more and i had to stop. I managed to get all the 'tubes' polished perfectly, they look so good in the light now, just need a few more 1200 grit sessions. ;) The...

Here are some 'work in progress' pictures on my inlet manifold. I'm sanding it down and polishing it using various grades of wet & dry, autosol, silvo and super resin polish. I didn't want to do it on the car as it makes a lot of mess. Whilst the inlet is off i took the chance to degrease the...

Saw you in Sainsbury's car park warrington this morning. Your car looked cleaner than mine. I have a Mk1 172. Chris

Firstly a big apology to all the n/w members. I'll be the only clean car there. Had to give my new camera a try, so the temptation to wash was too much. :o Came out quite well imo. Still got to get used to a proper camera though.:S Going to try and get some tips from Dave on Sunday.:approve...

A quick snap from a while ago with a bit of sharpening and editing. Took it with my Dad's Nikon D50. Got one for myself now, just got to get the damn thing figured out properly as it's my first proper camera.:o It might even tempt me to wash the car for the first time in over a month...maybe...

Found some pictures i didn't post because they were on another SD card. Only a few, but they capture how good the meet was. Bring on the next North Wales run. :approve: Mine is the silver Mk1 172 on Turinis.

Just to keep you updated Adam. You will be delighted to know that i've bought a new 'un for Sunday. ;) Chris

Had a great meet today, good enough to make up for the last one i missed. Quick notes from the day...both dave and myself know our ABS works. i only have one front arch liner. the food at 'hungry horse' is a bit cack. oh, and cable throttles are better. I'm uploading pics now... if anyone has...

Unsure of whether is was a 182 Cup or Full Fat. Anyways, saw you at the roundabout near sainsburys, then you followed me to sainsburys and promptly gave it some boot when i turned off. :) Anyone? Don't think is was Trail182...not sure though. Chris

I've seen this a few doors down from my parents' house for ages. Just wondered if it was anyones on here? No CS sticker to be seen. If i get no replies i'm going to flyer him in the night.:) Just in case he is on here, my car is the Titanium Mk1 172 you see in the pics. Chris

As above. Looking at the possibility of changing bits on my car. I want the work to be top notch though. Anyone? Thanks. Chris :D

Would a mod be able to stick this post? I have done it for various people. After a few requests i thought it might as well put a guide together for the fitting of an fog light located air feed for the BMC CDA/Viper etc etc... This guide is only applicable to the Mk1 172 (RS-1). Other models...

Nipped out for a bite to eat and saw all these... Mike_SE's mate in blue VTS near bridgefoot Blue Valver - Standard - Near B&Q Inferno 182 near PLP Vauxhall - think you saw me. I was in my Mk1 172 with Turinis. Chris

Hi, I had my steering aligned in July after it was knocked out of alignment. Trouble is, is is slowly returning to its original mis-aligned position. I don't want to spend another £30 + vat on alignment if it's only going to last a certain amount of time.:dapprove: Will it help to replace...

Saw you about 2pm near bridgefoot, Warrington. i was in a Mk1 172 giving it some welly.:evil:

Evening all, Over the coming months my car will be turning into something resembling this... FK Coilovers - January Wheels refurbed in Trophy colour - Feb/March Light tints all round - March/April Callipers also to be stripped down and sprayed silver. What do you people think? Any...

Evening all, Today i borrowed by dads Canon SLR to take a few pics of the 172 even though it's filthy and i can't really be bothered washing the thing. I actually quite like it dirty.:evil: Detailers relax, there is MANY a coat of wax underneath all the crap.;) Couldn't belive how much of a...

Just wondered if it is possible to fit a Mk2 172 wheel and airbag to my Mk1 172? I had a Mk2 172 item on my old Dynamique which i fitted and the connections look the same as i have now on my Mk1 172. Could someone clear this up for me? Chris

Evening all!, Just bought this private plate for my 172 so i was wondering if someone could 'shop it on to my car? The reg is T15 RNR My surname is Turner so it's a pretty cool plate for the £££'s:approve: I would be great if i could see it on my car, would be most appreciated if someone...

Out for a bit of a session on Sunday afternoon, ended up around the peaks over to Sheffield. Coming back i was in third following a line of slow moving traffic...i saw 'the gap' and thought yeah, why not. blipped the throttle to match revs and disengaged the clutch to punch past an...

I was parked up in a bay, saw you drive past and was probably a little too excited to see another RS.:o Took me nearly an hour to get out of trafford park! knightmare.:dead: Chris

Sounds like an E46 M3 from a distance (vid) Mk1 172!! Found this old video of my car the day after i bought it, so i thought i would share it with you lot. It's still the fruitiest standard inlet F4R i've heard, and still sounds the same today! As you can tell, the vid was taken on a private...
