worth noting that sometimes the bearings seperate into pieces. When i removed my old disc part of the old bearing staying place, ithen fitted new disc and couldnt get the pads in. so make sure the old bearings are off complety before fitting new disc! wasnt pleasant trying to figure out why...

dead simple mate, you'l have to remove the caliper from the carrier. two bolts. will be quite tight. Take your pads ouf first then remove the caliper. once they are off you'l need to undo the hub nut. will be very tight. to do this i put two wheel bolts into the hub as normal (without wheel...

yeah i have them on mine mate, very good little items. and the fog surrounds, and thier number plates, all very good. Bic fitted mine as they were the first set but look spot on. Mirrors have started to dull but only because i havent polished them up recently.

will beon std silver 172 rims soon, going back to sleeper mode in time for ITB's in April

£2800 ish not fitted. inc VAT. fitting on top maybe around £400-500. pretty much garunteed 200bhp @ flywheel. a very capable car in anyway you look at it.

nice legs mark! thought i recognised that corsa :) think i deserve a passenger ride soon

part of the strut i think.

maybe this remap really is that good and its GDi/KTEC/Angelworks that have been conning us with low figures!!!! lol on a more serious note. fair play to the guy for coming on here and defending himself, despite his claims he has kept his cool and replied in a proper manner. offered himself up...

Re: Taking The 172 Of The Road... if its on axle stand then you wont need to do either ^

do you have a link to the APC you use AR? or is that it above ^^^

Re: Taking The 172 Of The Road... Not if its SORN surely! No tax on a car if its sorned, means not MOT. no mot means no insurance usually...most insurance companies will ask for a copy of it.

Re: Taking The 172 Of The Road... im gettin married and having itbs fitted :) that was my deal with the other half, we get married i get itbs :) job done

from soctland that is a trek!!!

when you say, "sprayed with APC" what do you mean? i need to do my door hinges and under the bonnet. what you did looks to be the best way :)

man up! would FK sell dampers on their own?

Hi all, i have the Rock solid Fk highsport coilovers on the clio at the mo. to be honest while i like a stiff ride (steady!) its starting to do my head in. After i drove another clio last week it highlighted just how shite this suspension setup really is. So what i was wondering is if there is...

punto is acceptable, corsa is kak

too much negative camber looks pish! small amount look cool, as per the first picture of the white car! thats cool, any more and its just cack. looks like your axles are broken!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project good effort matey, great level of dedication. mistake taking out the heater matrix though. i did this in my saxo track car. was a nightmare. for the weight you save its really not worth the hassle. any amount of rain and you will steam up inside...its constantly...

vts isnt far from a 172, a fairly good match id say, 172 may just nip it. ive had 4 saxo's in total, 1.1i, vtr, vts supercharged and a another supercharged vts. in std form my 172 doesnt feel much quicker than a std vts... IMO of course

dont do black wheels, everyone does that, be different and keep them silver!

2009 will be the best year yet! KERS will be the main point of focus..those who use it and as to what adantage it gives is still very unknown...although test have shown boosts of up to 80bhp at times for a period of 6.6 seconds its difficult to see how that will be used in a race...

yeah thats the plan :) hoping to do them gunmetal for a little bit of style. how wide are the std wheels, they take a 195 or a 205?

is that lowered at all? loosk like it :) ideally id like to see some in other colours, gun metal/black etc

Anyone on here? see this guy a few times on way home from work. had a couple of blasts with him. Just thought id say hi :)

Hi all, can someone post the above, since im going for bodies soon and i want it to be sleeperish i want to return back to std 172 wheels. (not cup wheels) the fat 5 spokers. Can anyone chuck up some pics of your iceburg 1*2 on those wheels. dont mind what colour really, just to get an idea of...

i would recommend anyone who wants to go on their first track day to go to bedford autodrome. huge run off area's!

same here! ^^^

i think the only real difference is in the loudness of the two types they offer. one wont gain much more power than the other. dont hear many complaints about the Ktec stuff.

any better pictures of the above setup? closer ones etc, larger maybe?
