Nice work mate :cool: , very smart job on the replica 182 zorst ;) , See your in reading, you ever go to the braknell meet? I'm not a fan of the stripes, even on the racing blue 182's there not my cuppa tea, but each to there own.. Keep up the good work!
Alot of people buy the bosch ones, they claim to be for the 172 & at under £15 for 4 its seems a good deal... but! have not heard one person on here have good results with them, have even heard they damage the coil pack too, you can get the ngk ones off ebay for £32 deliverd from this seller who...
Put the toe i in the rear & toe it backwards :cool:

lol
Sweet, hopefully the fk's for the 2l are just as good, just dont wanna spend £500+ & think great i can lower it but it drives like a trolley lol
Sorry to hear about the car mate, been there, 1.2 gave me soooo much grief i even said repeatadly i would never buy a french car again! but there...
Yea that may give me sum idea, chassis on a 1.2 & 2.0 are some what similiar :) , how is the euro machine, sourced an engine? couz how did you find the fk's in terms of handling?
Thats what i was thinking too mate, for example, living on standard suspension > coilovers is going to be harsh, have had the old 1.2 lowered 35mm & it was harder.. but! i loved the feel you got back from the road, providing i didnt have a banging head ache lol.. really need to find a few people...
I Me & ivan did his shock on the weekend, was leaking every where, he said any more than 30mph into a bend was scary as fook, replaced the shocks a walla the car drives sweet as again :cool:
JUst had a look at the konis on k-tecs site, dont really fancy them, no sign of camber adjust as standard either where as the fk's do, did you really find them that bad mate? have been reading up & it seems alot of people really love the fks :S
Not the height mate, the damping is non adjustable on the £530 but the adjustable damping ones are summit like £650 - http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1383
Thing is pep the ones limca got are the adjustable damping ones which cost nearer £650 from k-tec, pep you reckon the non adjustable damping ones from k-tec will still keep me planted & happy on the road? only wanna drop it 20-30mm max, that cup splitter loves getting so close already :dapprove...
Another euro in the works then?
Just do what i do, use the gf's small 1.1 206 for all the shite driving like parking in tesco where every c**t has to smash there door on yours or throw a trolley into your pride & joy :mad: so that way i can put coil overs on mine & gut the rear & not have to...
Yea course can take ya for a little drive, would have done at the last meet but amy wanted to come along & couldnt just go off driving while leaving her there lol, gonna have a go at installing my new.. erm.. centre section :evil: this weekend, then hopefully its gonna fly :D
Oh she is mate :approve: , there is another new toy in the post, lets just say its some thing like what tezza installed on the williams :cool: , so the little 172 may be a touch louder... & hopefully quicker :evil: There is a long list of mods.. just apprentice salary restricts them coming...
How do you rate them mate? & where did you get them for that? with cliosport discount on k-tec it comes in around £530 delivered, well around that any way :)
So on Julys planned mods comes coilovers :D.. been looking through k-tecs site & seen they have a few kits for the 172.. My first choice was the H&R's which look ace but at nearly £800 & being mainly aimed at track use i think these would never be worth the cash, right??
So after doing a few...
BBQ sounds sweet :cool: , & yes ivan's car runs real good now ;) , the sound from the induction kit is ace, shame its gonna heat soak so bad :dapprove: , your gonna have to get that new one i gave you installed mate!
Pep, what the f**k is with the smart car lol
Couzens, sorry to hear about...
Was playing with it last night, took all the air box off, added plenty of lube there & around the clutch pedal... & there we have it, fixed!!!.. until it gets hot like you say yours does caister :mad: .. how much is a new one from reno & any one know the part no.?
Just got mine on the weekend, looks very smart :cool: only prob is its hitting the cup spoiler, would this be because my 172ff has a diffrent base mount to the cup?
