Has anyone heard of any of this stuff?

Bump can anyone else reccommend a safe product that works alot better than the normal faff? Im a bit stuck and small deposits of brake dust are growing on my wheels

what mods do you have? what weight will your car be once the seats are changed? I ask because Id love the magic 200hp / ton in my ph1 172 going to aim for 925kg and 185bhp personally

OK its finally payday for me tommorow, and I have 3 things on my shopping list which I have no idea where to get. Halfrauds dont stock any of them :mad: AG Engine & Machine Cleaner SRP (polish) EGP (seal stuff) Also just to check these are tobe used on my MINT WHITE speedlines wheels, there...

My Ph1 172 is dead even all the way from 0 - top speed with two of my mates DC2s. The EK9 type r's are supposed tobe a tad slower than these so maybe the same speed as a full fat?? Anyway very little in it either way. Surely if 13k was on the cards for a 197 you could get a DC5. Same speed...

LOL Well got there in the end guys, thanks for all your help, i've had 9 cars (including 2 valvers) and never had so much trouble fitting pads before, but got there in the end. Removed the sliders and also ended up not being able to use the old anti rattle jobbies on the backs of the pads as...

Of course, im not a total r****d :rasp:

Im well aware of this, I have played quite alot with the front as this can go alot lower, I found the perfect balance where I am at the moment, which is: Rears set to bottom Fronts set 7 threads from bottom - This left the front ever so slightly lower than the back, with the sill about 10mm...

As above, it would seem that if the spring was 10mm shorter but with the same properties then no. Because once it is fitted onto a stripped car the spring will sit at the same length as the standard H&R spring would on a fully loaded car.

Think ill be contacting H&R this week, also might have to contact powerflex as well. Tom

Thanks for all the help guys, I shall attempt them again tonight. Bin the calipers shims file the pads.

Ahh I see. Is there anyway to maintain a good level of travel? I assume this must be possible as the car is perfect now, so if it raises 10mm when weight is removed from above it, then it will have been the spring that expanded for that, will it not? so then if I get a 10mm shorter spring it...

Are you refering to "or remove the platforms and flip the inner one on its arse under the axel" or "Extra low rear springs/platforms, speak to Yozzasport" ????? Compromising the handling is not an option, after spending £800 on sus its handling the way I want it to.

At the moment I have my H&Rs set to the bottom at the rear, and they sit Perfectly, however I will soon be striping the car (alot) and expect the back end to ride 10mm or so higher. Is there anyway of changing the spring or any other components to allow me to drop the car a further 10mm? I...

are the caliper shims the metal pieces which go between the pads and the carrier (you get two on each brake) which the pad slides along? As for them being the wrong ones I got them from yozzasport so they shouldnt really have any else in stock.

It seems tobe width as well as length of the pads, is it ok to file that away as well.

did you remove the all one pice metal thing the pads slide on? do I need remove that anyone?

I recently bought the Brembo max disc, ferodo pad, braided lines combo off yozzasport. After being prevented by rain to fit it last weekend I decided tonight to fit the pads a disks (as my old pads are dead) however was going to leave the lines and bleed till the weekend. However the front...

I followed this from Sandy to Goldington Road in Bedford a few afternoons ago, in my Black Ph1 172, was aweful dirty when I was following it ;) Had a couple of little bursts on route which was fun.

so that is it? it has a little yellow top on it (the cap is black) but there is this ittle yellow top with a circle logo in it! how can i tell when its on min & max??

HELP. I have just cme to put my new brakes on before the rain arrives this afternoon and I am not sure where the brake resevor is :S dam these full bays. My manual shows it between the power steering fluid and the coolant. its not though. I took the engine cover off the there is a resevoir...

Very interested in these bargain brackets you speak of. Every 10kg helps, and 105kg (10% of the weight) is worth 17bhp (10% of the power) in my eyes. And thats without disscussing the cornering and braking gains. Thats my gain when I start stripping mine soon. Please do keep us updated...

Bump :P Would like to know this, got me real curious

What are my options for widening my ph1 172s track? I only wnat an extra 10mm or so, as since I have fitted the H&Rs the front wheels look quite far back. If I use 10mm spacers I assume I will need new locking wheel nuts and new nuts?

BUMP

What about on a coilovered 172? This has got me thinking! Would a 182 rear ARB fit my PH1 172?

+1 scientific fact there and there the cheapest, what more would you want :)

I think that polo looks like absolute s**t, those wheels are horrible

don't forget those diesel skylines / imprezas / 911 turbos / rs turbos / pulsars... diesels for the win

first gear should be the same, In traffic I like to sit nice and far back from the car in front and just let 1st gear tow me at 5mph ;) cruise control for the win
