    Newbie just put a deposit down on a 172

    Harv, Ollie is one of the mods on IMOC, I've known him many years, but LOL! Yeah, I just need to secure a new contract which is up on the 19th of the month, so if that transition goes smoothly I can probably get it all sorted by then. :) I don't mind giving some tips on technique and all...

    Here you go: I've done loads to it. It's currently in bits following the engine blowing for the second time in six months. We'll be putting it back together again over the next couple of months! @Lorenzo, I had three MK1 MR2's two of them supercharged. I did a bit of racing too in MR2s. I...

    Hello Ollie and Ad! @The Fatty, there was a 5 litre can of oil in the front boot that got crushed in the accident. The Fairy liquid was used to disperse the oil that leaked out everywhere! Well, I've driven it to to work this morning in a mixture of wet and dry weather. I have to say, it's...

    Cheers. :) I picked the car up last night, about to have my first proper drive (I have a nice commute to work) in about 15 minutes time. I've just been reading the manual and all that stuff. Have booked the car in for a pair of Cont-sport contacts on Thursday as the front tyres are shot.

    Thanks, Paul. The AE86 is a very clean one, I've spent a fair bit on it, getting it up to scratch since I've had it. It is great fun, but I don't normally drive it through the winter anyway. Hopefully it'll be back up and running reasonably soon. Just the small matter of an engine rebuild to do!

    I blew the engine I think on the way back from a 2000 mile trip round Europe in July. I'm rebuilding it, then it'll go into storage over the winter. I will likely sell it eventually. I'm aiming to save up for a GT86, so fancied trying one of these in the interim.

    Cheers. Well, I will be changing the cambelt, fitting new front tyres fairly quickly. If the exhaust looks like it's not going to last I'll go to JP and get a custom one. I'll be putting another head unit and likely a sub and amp and probably speakers, just because I do a fair bit of driving and...

    LOL! Well here's a pic of me (quite a few years ago now!) of what I did to one of my previous cars. I tend to try and drive around lamposts these days. ;) LOL, Jamie, my stalker! ;)

    Hi, Despite joining in 2009 this is actually my first post. I think the Clio RS is a car I've liked for a while but it's taken me this long to get round to trying one. My other car is an AE86 of 1985 vintage, but you'll have to be up on your Japanese cars to know what that is! So, I've taken...
