    Rolling Road N/W

    21st would be good for me as I think I'm off that day, I've voted TDI North but I wouldn't pull out if RSTuning was used because I'm not bothered which place is used.

    from a 172 cup to a ph1 172

    Some say the ph-1 is the best drive out of all the 1*2s. The only way to tell is to drive one and see for yourself because it all boils down to personal choice at the end of the day.

    Sunday Mini Meet..

    Lol. I kind of like it's controversial looks, can just imagine the amount of fun you have catching out people out with bigger engined cars.

    Some nice shots there and is that AX the famous Clio eater? :rasp:

    Engine mounts standard v ktec uprated

    I got mine from Larkspeed via ebay, abit cheaper than k-tec. £35.90 delivered if I remember correctly. I've driven an RS with all the mounts uprated to k-tec mounts and it didn't feel much different to my Cup on idle or driving yet some people find it unbearable.

    powerflex gearbox dog bone bush

    I got the same thing when I rang EuroCarParts lol I had to go in and explain what I was on about. To be honest I'd try replacing the upper engine mount, I know it's £57 wasted if it's not that but when I was getting that nasty knocking noise I took the upper engine mount off and all the...

    Engine mounts standard v ktec uprated

    Guess it's down to how the car's driven, I do tend to drive mine hard at times but I've no idea if the car had any mounts replaced by the two previous owners. The upper engine mount I replaced was absolutely knackered though, the main bolt eventually snapped so my engine was just resting in the...

    Engine mounts standard v ktec uprated

    Depends how you drive it I guess, I replaced my upper engine mount with a standard mount and it lasted a month lol Was a 2nd hand one though so it may have been on it's way out before it was ever on my car. Think generally they last 10k miles from what I've read on here.

    Engine mounts standard v ktec uprated

    Replacing the mounts with standard mounts would probably take the knocking your experiencing away but it'll come back eventually because the standard mounts don't last to long. I'm going for the k-tec mounts eventually but starting off with just powerflexing the dogbone mount for now.

    Fitting powerflex mounts in to the dogmount

    Ah, thought as much, cheers for confirming.

    Fitting powerflex mounts in to the dogmount

    Hopefully should have my powerflex mounts for the dogbone mount this week, just a question regarding fitting, am I right in thinking there's no need to support the engine before removing the dogbone mount? Logically thinking about it, you shouldn't need to because the two upper mounts will...

    Former zetec-s owner :)

    I've owned 3 ZS's :cool: Great little cars, handle brilliantly, a 182 will be a good upgrade ;)

    powerflex gearbox dog bone bush

    EuroCarParts, K-tec. Let us know how it goes mate because I'll be fitting powerflex mounts to my dogbone mount very soon but the reason I'm doing it is for a different reason to you.

    Buy a 182 or do a 2litre conversion ??

    If you know someone who'll do the conversion on the cheap or be capable of doing it yourself I'd go down the conversion route. There's advantages and dis-advantages to which ever you decide to do. If did do the conversion at least you know the car where as if you bought a 182 you could quite...

    poor mpg and running

    Do you mean the emissions light? If so that'd probably be a faulty lambada(sure that's the right spelling :S) sensor then. Mine sits around that figure too and most of my driving avoids motorways most of the time and I also don't drive slowly :cool:

    poor mpg and running

    Cat or lambada sensor? Has be known when these things have been faulty it returns poor MPG.

    Back seats?

    +1 lol Less weight means better power to weight ratio ;) I know it'll hardly make any difference but you know what insurance companies are like.

    Smashed up Silver 172 Cup on the M53

    The guy that pulled out in front of you was completely oblivious to what had happened behind him, I know that sounds daft but the type of idiots who just pull out of lanes without looking tend to be none the wiser to anything unless it's right in front of their nose. I'm sure people think once...

    Randomly not cranking

    Mine's definitely the starter motor mate, it's due down at Birchdown at the end of the month for a replacement starter motor. Lol That's sods law, mine did the same thing when ever anyone looked at it, even when I had to call the AA out to it because it wouldn't start, I was messing about with...

    ktec stealth

    Yeah I think it is, same description in both adverts.

    Randomly not cranking

    Starter motor beginning to give up? Mine started off occasionally not working with all the symptoms you've described but over time it got worse and it's got to the point where it happens on a daily basis.

    It pays to haggle

    Surprised they gave you a discount to be honest, did you get them at trade price or something?

    1.2/V6 Rep, Chesterfield College.

    Looks better from the rear but lol at those wheels, and the gaps in the wheel arches remind of a monster truck lol

    Would you put 172 trim in a Cup!

    It's been done by a few, I nearly did it at one point. I've stripped the rear since and if I replace the front seats with anything it'll probably be with bucket seats.

    Gearbox

    So it seems it's another clio trait then. Mine only does it if I get close to the limiter in 1st. If I change up well before the limiter it doesn't do it.

    Bizarre looking CTR on Autotrader

    Hmmm, it's different, I'll give the owner that :S Looks very weird.

    Gearbox

    When you say it's on the way, do you mean the rubber is perishing? Last time I looked at mine it seemed to be fine but I've not checked it properly.

    Gearbox

    Agreed! I don't do it often really, normally I'll change gear smoothly rather than erratically.

    Gearbox

    It's on 46k. Clutch seems to be fine to be honest, no slipping etc, only thing I really get clutch wise is the infamous creaking after a spirited drive which I believe is down to the cable. Yeah I'll be uprating the engine/gearbox mounts eventually so I may as well do it sooner rather than later.
