Just wondering if anyone has experience of a similar offset on a 172. I'm guessing it'd be a bad fitment but I'm wondering whether anyone has any experience and/or pics available. Not sure whether they would be out of the questions all together, or would just require extra camber to fit without...

Jus need to put the dash back together tonight when I get home from work, and then it's pretty much set for it's MOT. Reasonably confident it'll pass, then I have the rest of the afternoon on Wednesday and probably a few days after work to take it for a good long run out. Need to rack up some...

Cannot wait, it's been way too long! Forgot just how good it sounds too.

Thanks, just been updating the thread on ZSOC actually. Definitely cannot wait to get it back on the road, and go for a blast. Will have to hold back a little though as the engine needs running in. Been a busy weekend, after a few odd issues. Set about trying to get all the central locking...

I think the main issue is not hitting their own deadline. That would drive me mental. It seems common practice from garages in my experience. It isn't acceptable in other industries.

A bit more luck today... swapped starter motor, but still was just clicking. Jord found it was the fuse on the main live wire that was causing the problem. So finally managed to get it started!! Hurrah! Just need to fit brake pads, adjust handbrake cable, torque up hut nuts and refit the dash...

This must be a criminal offence surely.

Yeah I'm on there too, first car was a Mk5 Zetec-S, not updated the project thread on there for a good while though. Back in work today, but hopefully there will be enough light to swap the starter at some point this week after work.

Well, it works out that GSF did have a correct fitting tie rod, which is finally on the car. However I had to nip out and get a rack boot as I couldn't remove the old one without damaging it. Car is back on all fours now. Also nipped out an bought a coil pack today. refitted the crank sensor...

Well, today was frustrating. Car hasn't been started in months, but was spot on last time around. Went to start it up earlier and no joy. It was cranking but no spark. Tried AdamAnderton's unlocked ECU, and his crank sensor, but still no joy. Tested my ECU, Crank sensor and coil pack on his...

Seats and interior was looking rough after a year of no use, and there was discolouration and mould in places. From what I've read you have to be careful if you disturb mould as it can cause respiratory problems. So a few days ago the whole interior was basically drenched in Dettol (no bleach...

Swore at my N/S tie rod for a while. and won. then swore again when ECP gave me the wrong part.

Busy and frustrating day today.. First off, cleaned the interior thoroughly, which I was glad to get out of the way. After the car had been sat so long it really was quite grim inside. Front seats came up well, and the rears too. Cleaned every inch inside with AutoGlym shampoo, including the...

Braved the cold weather.. and stumbled across some more fantastic riggy wiring. The notorious dodgy mk2 wiring under the passenger seat obviously got too much for someone, and rather than fix it, someone decided to twist the wires together and wrap them in tape. One more thing to sort out...

Regardless of CS forum circlejerking logic, I think those wheels just aren't very nice in the first place. I'd stick with the turinis personally.

You underestimate my laziness. Spoke with Jon about it, probably going to borrow his if this one doesn't work as planned. I'll be soft all I want. I work in a nice warm office all day, and going outside is rare enough already.. never mind when it's baltic!! You can volunteer if you like...

Not much to do it all fairness, just need a break in the weather. I was hoping to have much of this done on Saturday but it snowed on Friday. Looks like it'll be freezing over easter too, and I've got 5 days off work. I'd like to say I'll brave the cold, but I probably won't.

Well.. Not updated in a while. Car has been on the backburner for a while whilst I dealt with other things, however I want it back on the road in April. So I had planned on pulling the seats out to give them a thorough clean, however our wonderful seasonal weather put a stop to that. So Just...

As long as they aren't made out of cheese, I'm sure they'll function just fine as wheels. Spray them a silly colour, remove centre caps, nobody will know/care.

WELL before Xmas lol.. new engine has been built and installed. Just a few little bits need doing, along with an MOT. Hopefully sort it to be back on the road in a couple of weeks. as you can see.. it lives.. sort of.

Been trying to find such a tool at a decent price, as I only really need to use it once. Everywhere offering 32mm crowfoots wanted around £35. Found this little bargain on ebay. Yet to see the quality, but shall be delivered next week, so will see how it goes...

Fingers crossed, mine will be back in the road soon. I miss it so damn much.

Looks great, well deserved treatment. How much were the genuine tie rods?

Parenting Win.

Need my car back on the road ASAP.

Thank you search function. I was just about to ask this question. Sunflower has been SORN'd for a year and hoping to get an MOT in the next few weeks.

Barely touched over winter, waiting for it to warm up a bit. Just a couple of niggly things that need finishing.

oh... so jealous!

Slightly unrelated, but obviously a hero's car. Skip to 1:20ish ..and skip to 6:48 Thankfully I think these are all in france
