Yep photobucket will work. Hi :)

Mine never over heated when it had the split pipe

My ph1 had a tiny hole in the main coolant pipe and the coolant used to spirt out under pressure. you couldn't find it when the engine was not running.

cliosport group buys on a DannyR setup lol

I've got a spare gearbox if you do need one and struggle finding one.

Its untidy but its just one of those jobs that i can't be arsed doing. Samsung 42inch plasma Marantz amp Jbl balboa 30 floorstanders Acer mulimedia pc an old xbox

It'll be good to see what this goes for as i have two drivers airbags and two passenger airbags sat around doing nothing.

The vectra barge will deffinately be there i may not be driving though as my shoulder is foooked.

I've always wanted an mx5 but it'd have to be turbod as i couldn't cope with the lack of out right pace when roads open up. I can imagine it being great fun on smaller roads even with standard power.

Not really any different to buying these stupid custom 100mm springs they end up too short for dampers as well so you may as well just save yourself a fortune.

yeah you can do it on the car as long as the grinder fits.

If you are looking at an engine £500 if you fit it yourself. If you find someone stupid like me you may get an engine cheaper. I sold a mint one with cambelt done etc for £400

I wasn't expecting to see a horse looking back at me...how very random

It'll handle better on michelin exalto pe2s or goodyear eagle f1s. i personally prefer the f1s as they give you more of an idea whats going on. My mate had toyos on his 172 and it used to just slip and slide everywhere. eibach springs are a good cheap upgrade too.

I've got one fitted to the rear of mine and i can't say i noticed a difference. I never bothered fitting my front one its just sat in my spare room.

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. Odyssey is amazing my old one looked far better than the black one i have now. from this to this Its a sad sight :(

The guy above speaks sense. its coz they are designed for the ph2

Good on her for trying :) you never know it might be the start of her getting into stuff like that. My mates mrs is building her own xe corsa with some of his help. 1hr 12mins

Even a decent set of coilovers would need loads of time getting setup maybe messing with spring rates and damper setings to get a ride like the trophy setup.

Someone on here has done it on here before and said its the best thing he ever did. I'd go for it if you can find a setup.

That looks good:) I'm going to have to go to 18's on mine as i'm going to fit the 345mm vxr disks and callipers on mine i really wanted to keep the 17's but the brakes just won't fit underneath.

From reading up on the konis you can adjustthe damping while still on the car. They say the softest setting is 25% stiffer but tillitry them for my self i can't really say. my mate had some on another make of car and they were great he used to run them on hardest and even then they were not...

I'm going koni sport dampers and eibach sportlines as my car is solely used for country lanes. Any lower than say 30mm would hamper progress anyway especially on jumps and sudden compressions in the road as you'd risk hitting the sump or taking the front bumper off.

This has been brought up before and i it won't fit i think its something to do with the gearbox

I'm really starting to want a 197 now they looks so good:) I'm hoping to get across to the italian lakes in the next few months i can't wait to drive some of the roads over there.

I feel left out too :(

can you see how i did well against the 197 now then?

it is just planted i've got far more confidence in it than in my clio

it'd be wrong not to try and make some excuse up
