wouldnt call it euro just yet tbh,
personally id change the wheels because those things are getting a bit overdone now!
and sort the stance out!! (lows, poke, streched tyres)
smooth the sides and put some unique touches on it, and youll be laughing!
personally id change the wheels all together,
those bbs ones dont look that great imo.
Are you the james from felixstowe that had a naples mk1 valver??
i bought a rollcage off you a few months back!
what made you go for a 172??
if you do end up breaking it,
let me know how much youre after for the engine, engine loom, and altenator and all that!
might be time for an F4R valver!!
sounds to me like you enjoy wasting money!!
my servicing consists of
plugs £25
oil £13 semi-synth cheap stuff!
oil filter £5
fuel filter £5
job done for £50! local parts store ftw!! only thing branded i buy is the plugs!
however, i probs service my car a lot more than you do so the price...
its to do with the diameter of each cylinder and the length of each stroke, and making them more round numbers to ease manufacture.
making it exaclty 2000cc would mean using some very odd numbers when it comes to the dimenssions of each cylinder!
my old clio 1.2 was actually 1148cc 8v, to say...
i was actually thinking of talking to vicky to see if we could arrange a special photoshoot meet sometime in the summer.
i dont know about everyone else, but i would love (and happily pay) for some really nice photos to remember my car by when she dies!!
have to see if/how many people would be...
Bonnet comes off rather than opens!!
were you thinking of coming down for it?? because i remember the seller saying someone was thinking of getting a flight down here for the car!!
if youve read the amount of issues ive had with it, you possibly dodged a bullet lol, but i love her all the...
the bearing could have failed due to it not being made properly, it happens from time to time,
also, a worn mount couldnt cause the camber to change, its a solid rear beam hinged at the front of the car, so in theory, the camber is solid and cannot move.
as for kwik fit, well thats a whole...
Ive got a squeek coming from what i think is my front nearside wheel,
it only happens when im turning right and putting load on the wheel,
it sounds like an old shopping trolley

basically exactly like this!!
i think im just going to replace the...
thats a good point!
grab it and give wobble it, i mean really give it hell!
if theres any movement, then it may just be a wheel bearing thats died,
same kind of price to replace though, since the bearings are pressed into the discs!!
but at least you get new dics out of it!!
as long as the wheels you buy are 4 x 100 (4 holes in a circule of diameter 100mm, aka PCD), and 60.1 centre bore (the diameter or the centre circle that sticks out of the hub that the wheel will basically sit on!). Then the wheels will fit!!
NOTE: 13" wheels wont fit over even the smallest...
worth getting it checked as it will play on your mind and look wose that in it is!
unfortunatley, the rear being isnt adjustable at all, (other than loosening it and moving it, but that doesnt change camber or idividual toe)
so the only thing it can be if it is out, is that someone has clouted...
Thankyou,
no more majour plans for her atm,
just ordered a new start motor and clutch cable from renault which will be going on at the weekend with a 4branch manifold,

my mate took me to take a couple of nice pictures of my car tonight,
now i am clueless when it comes to photography! i struggle with a point and shoot,
but to me, these...
do you not recognise the door cards!! i bought them off you a few weeks back!
its F7R with basic breathing mods.
also, sorry if i sound dumb,
but are "at the wheels" figures and "at the hubs" figures different??
i assumed at the hubs would be the same as at the wheels!
This would tie in nicely with my precious rolling road figues!
so everyone times your results by 1.0752688172043010752688172043011 for rough atf figures! ;)
