Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
Seems to be working fine, I think the new filter made a difference. It's only modified because the battery in the car is a little too large and the lower intake can't fit through the gap. I need to get some ducting to make a cold air feed to the top intake.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
So, first update. I had to get rid of the braptastic K&N filter that was noticebly restricting the engine. So I had to get my hands on a Ph1, gladly a mate gave me one for free, and in order to get it to fit (tight squeeze, and a slightly large battery) I had to...
Well here we have it...
You all know how rare these are, so here you go..
Spec:
Pretty much standard throughout
Powerflow cat back with sports cat.
K&N Filter
Plans:
Change the current Powerbrap cat back, and possibly fit the standard twin cat.
Fit Ph2 rear bumper
Fit HIDs
Fit FK...
If this goes ahead on the Sunday a few friends and I will pop along. I should have my coilovers by the saturday before, and have a chance to fit them and set them up, then get the tracking sorted etc.
Also, there is a Delamere Forest meet on Sunday 10th with NorthWest|Automotive organise...
depends, some will state whether you get a resistor or not (airbag or non-airbag basically). wheel bosses are generally all the same, however with an OMP one you know you are getting a decent quality product. They aren't cheap though, hence why I prefer to buy second hand.
That's all work you could do yourself. Maybe get some supervision or advice before tackling the brakes, as you don't want to get that wrong. Wheel balancing shouldn't cost much £5 each, max.
Absolutely awesome 20 minute session even though I nearly had my arse blown off by that battery. Absolutely insane grip in the corners on these slicks. Even though it's a treck half way across the country Cadwell Park is a supreme track. Whoever took some of them photos is a pro.
Spot on. A friend of mine has basically the same driving experience, NCB and is the same age as me. We both got quotes for the same address on an EP3, and his came in at £900 and mine came in at £2500. I'm beginning to think they just don't like my name.
A car should always be ready to be driven away. However, with the almighty technological advance of email, you can have your insurance certificate emailed to you the same day, and tax it the day you pick the car up.
OR.
Use the price of tax as a deposit, forward docs, get seller to tax it...
Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel
Best thread title ever.
Get it up on ramps, have everything inspected. Likely you have at least buckled a wheel.
why do many well established members on here jump down people's thoats for asking questions?
Personally, I'd get the quote reference, push them for that price. If you get it, you get it, if not then too bad.
