Fk konis are at the max, only way to go lower is remove the lock rings, think i'm gonna have to when all the sound deadning is all removed as its just a touch to high for my likeing still, i am fussy though lol.. saying that though the front still have 50% more to go :eek: get looooooooooow :cool:
Thanks again matey ;)
The boot build project - creating something to fill the whole where the lumpy rear bench went, still need to keep things in my car & with it all being stripped out you can see everything just by looking through the window so have taken a board of MDF, cut it out to...
Now there has always been a "my car is faster than yours" conversation between me & my mate & up till lately i've been the quicker one :clap:
But he's just sent me a link through to a scooby he's buying... dam i think i may be getting my arse handed to me big time lol but since are "tests"...
Was gonna have a play with colouring one & seeing what it looks like, will this bolt onto my 172 or have i picked up the wrong one :dapprove: its meant to be for the front bumper!
Thanks,

Rs tunner for £150 FTW :cool: - http://www.fastchip.nl/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,18/category_id,7/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,26/ , Up-load the 98-ron map for standard ish car or upload the Group N like myself if you have done a fair...
They look ace & sound fairly nice but for around £350 for maybe 1-3bhp if your lucky... £50 for an ITG pannel filter with the acoustic valve removed will do the same job, bonnets shut 90% of the time any ways lol, de-cat - £70 = 8-10bhp.... re-map £140 - 5bhp...
So either 15bhp "rougly" for my...
Thanks mate, Completion is almost hear :D polished roll cage is now on the cards, dam seeing my mates car with one fitted, it just looks so nice :o
Hows your engine bay looking mate, been keeping you busy? Not need the dremmel in the end then mate? Any word on the cost of the 207 splitter
*** UPDATE ***
Got no pics of the boot build, forgot lol, but have installed the Toe eye & tow sticker from legohead :cool:
So heres my bank holiday monday progress -
So firstly didn't fancy taking all the bumper off & grinding away, burp's method is ideal if you have a PH1 & making a...
Indeed :cool: , right place, right time & cash wating & of course a bit of hagling lol
I upset people when i tell them how much i pay'd for mine so i'm not saying no more lol
Have seen this done on other cars, makes the engine really snappy, pick up was ace :D .. only down fall was cruising, just didnt seem to have the same holding power at 70+, assume its to do with the momentum it can hold with the standard fly wheel.. google it & there is loads of info on the...
In that case keep looking mate, standard brakes should be right up there with the handling, drove my old 1.2 saturday... :eek: :eek: :eek: now thats what you call scary brakes & slow.. 190bhp ish - 60bhp lol.. should find a nice 172 on here in all good order for around £4k
Thought there would be alot more probs than that for £3k, but if your gut says it aint right, walk away mate, there are so many around now, the clutch on 172's are nasty any way, stiff & high bitting point, if i'm ever asked what i dis-like about the clio the most its the clutch :dead:
Thing...
Yes there is lol, follow the guide thats in the guide section, but what it doesnt say is there is a bolt on the left hand side above the Aux pulley that needs to be removed & its still tight as fook, & there is a bolt that goes through the Alternator brace & it pinches the lower inlet in place...
** Small update **
Rear seats & everything else in the rear gone, well over a week now but didnt up date on my new Temp boot build that i had a few piccys off
Started with a board of MDF & mark out some windows for light weight :cool:
Then all cut out, weighs fook all :approve...
Have heard that too, as the gearbox is not in line of the same sort of contamination as the engine in theory it should last alot longer.. In "theory" lol
Just left you a link above lol, If your running a just a de-cat then i hope mine is quicker, mine "feels" quicker than a cup, but i was only a passenger in the cup
