Sorry to see that mate, annoying when you've taken pride in it only for someone else to ruin it! Not necessarily, although considering the car has front damage as well it'll most likely be a write off (depending on how bad the damage is to the front).

Yep, they're reasonably thick too, about 1.5mm IIRC. They're not pure carbon, it's carbon backed with e-glass or whatever they call it! They might be a bit lighter nowadays, the ones I saw were made around 1.5 years ago. Would still go for the extra light ones personally, can't see any...

Yep, as per this bit on the site: "We can also supply an 'extra light' 0.8mm version of these trims. Less weight but more flexible. (recommended for race cars where weight saving is priority). No extra charge, please add a note to the order." You want those as the 'standard' trims they do...

Window switches would be easy enough to do, not sure if the mirrors are possible. Probably best to switch to manual ones (bit of weight saved there too :p). Those door handle surrounds in Bazzon's second pic are quite pricey, mine were about 55 quid delivered for the pair from R-Sport. I...

Quality work as always guys!! Should be a weapon when finished!

Spend what you have on the fronts. If you really want to spend money on the rears, anything more than type e's is pointless!

Was just about to post the link up lol! As above, that's what I was on about!

Cheers Neil. My new harnesses didn't come with any fittings for the straps to be mounted in the rear. I'll be fitting them to a cage when I get one sorted, but I want to replace my current harnesses for the time being. Don't want to take the clips off my current harnesses as a potential future...

The spring catch bits mate, that clip onto the eyebolts.

No-one? :( I've tried tweeks, rallydesign, rallynuts, gpr, motorsport parts, and they don't seem to have them!

Does anyone know what these are called or where I can get hold of some from? At the bottom in the middle of this picture (silver/gold colour): Cheers.

As above, from my 172 Cup. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170444175037&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT No reserve!

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction Wash your mouth out! :p Car is looking awesome mate!

Nice driving! Car looks quick too!

MUCH better! Looking very nice!

Awesome work guys! How far do you reckon you've got left to go with it before it's ready?

As above, looking for something to replace the ebc deathstuffs I currently have fitted. They're just for road use as I have RC5's for track. Just after something that bites reasonably well and will actually stop the car lol. Thinking Renault pads @ about £40 or Mintex 1144 @ £60 maybe...

Awesome! Any 'finished' pics?

I thought that as long as an exhaust was under the public tolerance limit (or whatever it's called) it was ok. I think this is about 88db? Could be wrong.. The yozza race is very loud, you're asking for trouble is you press the fun pedal with the police around!

Awesome!

Re: Project 172:Unknown Direction Looking good mate! You gunna be at ppc again this year? Would be cool to have a nosey round the clio! :D

Fair enough! Spotted an ly with dark wheels and a cup spoiler etc so thought it might have been you seeing as you're fairly close!

Looks very nice! Random question, you wernt in Stoke Golding on Weds morning were you?

You want some sort of foam/padding between the door card and the door otherwise they rattle a lot! Most people screw them on, I'd probably bond them though (purely for looks tbh!) I was thinking about trying to set up a GB for some carbon ones, would hopefully make em a bit cheaper...

Does look very nice there! They pro race 2's? Can't really tell on my phone!

I'd start at about 26 for track

Re: One Year on & £**** spent Love this car! Wheel looks spot on too ;)

Try putting your hand (with a glove or something on) tight against the tail pipe when the car's running. If the exhaust gases don't build up enough pressure to push your hand off then it's blowing. Be careful as if you've had the car running a while the exhaust will be hot! (hence the use of...

:p

Nice progress! Although I bet it's a bit demoralising pulling everything out after all the time you spent building it up!
