so, coming back to this, It's now the 2nd. 8.5 is still working fine? hope it stays that way.

very nice, but definitely in the wrong section

get it done. They are so much better to drive than MK2s.

is it completely dropping off the network? or are you getting "limited or no connectivity" I've had a play with the router settings on mine. Adjusted the DHCP range from .2 to .9, then set my computer to a static IP of .10 and set the router to reserve that address for me (although I think the...

if you perform the test with the engine cold, you havent a hope in hell. Always give the car a good blatt before doing emissions testing. These normally point to a faulty upstream lambda sensor. I changed the sensor on my 172 twice while owning it. Helped idle and MPG massively.

how annoying. Never really had a problem with mine. Did you make sure you applied the gel right across the sensor?

I want a nice toolbox :( Especially one with tea holders!

kin hell. Looks like it's just fallen out of there. Cambelt service is that?

It's an interesting idea. I spose theres every chance as the vee is transverse too. Pics of a vee engine and box on the floor would be helpful. You'll probably find it has similar issues to the 225 conversion (too long).

tis. Nice tho

and 55 PSI ESluRK3kdM8 still don't want an EVO tho lol

Any more build info? this one runs around 52PSI iirc. Just lol lYLCRuoMe74

Yes, you need to borrow some tools from somewhere How close are you to KTEC? Maybe they'd have someone come over and do it with the engine on the floor for you? edit, similar question was asked the other day

the yellow fogs are so full of win

LMAO, "plastic covers fitted to sills not allowing full inspection"

jees. This is the second case of this on here in 2 or 3 days. Some guy had the same problem with his rally car, although he was running stronger valve springs, cams, and a raised limiter. Sucks! Well done for sorting it so fast. Make sure you borrow/buy the correct timing tools for the rebuild...

easiest thing would be to weigh it in tbh.

If i were you, I'd certinally start with a whiteline rear ARB as recently sold in a group buy on here. That should help balance the under/oversteer characteristic better. From there decide which way you want to go on coilovers. At the top end theres billstein and AST, then KW V2, then FK and...

health and safety in the workplace.

Interesting. Nice car. I would really like to drive one of these. Wasn't aware they were 6-speed.

Theres loads of price difference between KW and V-maxx isnt there? Be interested to hear how they compare from someone who has driven both

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project That sounds ideal! I've found it really rewarding learning MIG and I was pleased with how my subframe turned out. I regret not spending more on the welder tho. Going to try and upgrade and have a pop at my rusty sills and some panel work after christmas...

what a pr1ck

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project You got a welder dude?

grand :approve:

erm. your crash safety knowledge is limited sorry :S

thats why they recommend new bolts. Flywheel bolts are normally stretch bolts. Edit - sounds silly, but you are tightening progressively round all the bolts right?

i change 6-8k. But intend to change more often on the turbo car

how do the bilsteins feel?

ah, ic
