I am breaking my 172 shortly and am considering doing a wide track conversion on the DCI.
I am told by the guys at work that subframe, arms, hubs, driveshafts etc will bolt straight onto the DCI in order to wide track it.
Also considering rear disc conversion, is this just a case of swapping...
Test drove a 200 yesterday with the view to buying one (or getting one on the lease deal should I say). The model I drove was a gordini (what a disgusting looking car!) but nether the less it gave me a good idea of what I want.
I found the 200 with all the toys fairly bland (compared to my...
Just got back from holiday to find that while i've been away (dad was house sitting) he has plumbed in an outside tap for me :D

As the title says really.......
I'm at a stage now where I have removed most things I can for free and bought the seats/cage/suspension i budgeted for.
The next stage in my track car project is to remove the a/c, remove dashboard and relocate speedo and heater controls, remove all...
Always wanted to build a track car and having finally done it, i'm not sure its what i was hoping for.

The initial test drive seemed fine but the 100 mile trip back home highlighted a few problems!

As the title says really, should i fit my rear strut brace, does it make a difference? James at JMS said it doesn't make a difference and all it does is creak?
