The main coolant pipe sheared off due to the movement in the engine it was too tight as we had to bodge it just to get the car out today. We fixed it using a longer pipe of my old 172 so it should be ok now till the samco's finally turn up. I was lucky it lasted as long as it did and it didn't...

its nearly as fast you'd be suprised what its capable of for such a barge :)

My Vectra saves the day again lol

Its the first time i've driven it in six weeks i got a little carried away :o it really needs an exhaust fitting to it too lol

It was me mate, its all fixed now

Cheers to the people who helped try to fix my car and gave me water :)

Re: NW Rivington/Hollingworth Meet Pictures After dumping the clio to get the vectra me and Rexe managed to fix the coolant leak and get the car home fine. Great to meet up with people again :)

A house interior door handle is 8mm square if you are feeling ghetto

Am sure it was Ben P

For some reason its gone in to a really low res picture i think my mate will have the proper one somewhere.

we were going picking up another 172 from near london. it didn't take us long to get there lol. i'll post your pic up for you later :)

My mate got a good picture of your car on the motorway we were in a silver vectra. if i remember i'll post it when i get home. I was too lazy to do a spotted thread.

Hey mate are you the one with an 08 plate white 197 with rs tuning in the rear window?

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I've got one mate swap you lol

you'll know straight away if they are gone as they will push up and not return back

get the car back up on axle stands and undo the lower bolts on the rear dampers. try pushing the damper up by hand. when mine went i could push it up easily and the other one i couldn't move it at all. i think its only a 17mm bolt or maybe 19mm and its really easy to do.

Take the top dash off it makes things so much easier thats what i did when i fitted mine. Its easy to do and is probably quicker than struggling.

I'd stick to the bigger brands like Fk/ weitec or bilstien. The Gaz coilovers although good on other cars always have a bad reputation with clio owners. I wouldn't touch the v maxx ones with a barge pole i had them on my corsa and they are awful, imagine a driving round with leaking dampers well...

Bilstien B14, i used to be able to get them for £570 and they are bassically the same as H&R

keep your wheels and get coilovers it would look perfect

If you car looks anything like ^^^ then don't change a thing that looks mint

That is just silly quick i want one

Very impressive!!! Keep us all informed how this comes along :)

identical twins lol it drove extremely well and i was impressed just need to ditch the crappy standard exhaust now :)

for sale lol i alway run an open pipercross filter

I've got a couple of ph1 airboxes ;)

did you survive? lol

sounds a bit dodgy too its over heating due to a blockage in the radiator so the head gaskets probably gone

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. My new wheels for the black one :)

Re: The PH1 172 Aprreciation Thread. I don't agree with making ph1s look like ph2 why not just buy a ph2 in the first place
