any other garage would have charged you at least 2 hours labour... Rentech are very honest.

Driving vids should be heavy metal IMO.. not my usual choice.. but just think it suits them... tbh as you say the music that is with it is quite suiting. ta josh

nah that is it.. bit of persuasion in the form of laying it the right way up and jumping on the corner put it back in shape... well .... it covers the engine :p

thats what im going for :p bonnet is staying as it is... its a track car.. i don't want it to look pretty ;)

Hiya chaps.. Bought this valver off a friend. Intentions are to use it as a track day car. The car is never intended to be road legal, nor do i want to increase the power as im sure i can have some fun with the engine stock. At the moment im helping a mate (forum user on here)...

arnet the 16v ones wider? thus making it impossible to fit the wheels? ta josh

the mk2's begin to show their true french roots :p

Ive been thinking the same thing. Cliobuyer.. what sort of answer is that? slicks give you a positive advantage on the track.... Doesn't show a drivers incompitence... whatever your skill level the level of grip will be higher on slicks on a dry track surface?

Was well impressed with my handbrake, couldn't see most of the vid becuase of the reflection off somones chrome leccy lights :p

thanks for the info colin mcrea.... i was definitely on the limit with a lot of understeer into the corners as was al. Video doesn't give an accurate representation of the speed at all. We had a good time and kept all the cars in one piece at the end of the day wasn't a race just keeping up some...

Cant you just fit the struts off a V6? theyre shortened..... copy down a V6/trophy reg and take it into your stealers and say you need a pair of boot struts. sure this would be easier.. although i feel it may be costly.

Universal ones are garbage from past experience. Mine split 4 days after been fitted.

I hear really good things about the apex kits for the money.. has to be 60mm IMO of course. unless you have really bad roads around your area. thanks josh

Im looking for this in yorkshire area... will any person handy with a welder be able to do it? IE any garage?

Welcome to CS. Keep the mods simple.. silvervisions and if insurance allows posibly lower it.. An Apex 40mm or 60mm kit will transform the look of the car and increase handling. You may find the stock setup to be a bit wobbly, 40mm if you need to ride quality to stay good while still improving...

You know about nackered bushes in valver racks.. im taking it very easy till i have it welded up!

Naples= uber sex wee wee... cracking car mate.

Yeah its a road through some fields that leads a scottish power depot where only 2 people work. Its daft how good the corners are as its just an access road. Popular with people learning to drive with it been private. Never had any trouble off staff at scottish power as well. Thats where i...

Pics are good.. as usual andre couldn't stop trying to pull my kegs down ;) **Note to self start getting up in time to do my hair***

rear bumper.. 8 bolts. 2 under the bumper near the exhausts. 2 under plastic arch liner on each side and 2 on the shut line of the boot. torx screws. ta josh

Ive got a pit in my garage... such a valuable tool :)

which was awsome :)

bad luck chris. Hope you can get it done cheaply enough. ta josh

Looks great with the wheels and bonnet!

yes you can

yeh i know. but its a function that doesn't show up like it used to when i start the car and just wondered what the cause was? ta josh

On my mk2 ph3 1.4 16v it doesn't say oil ok when you start engine anymore, oil is full of course, im assuming the wire has come off the sensor or something, where is the sensor located on this engine, and is this likely to be the cause? thanks josh

Yes its 2 bits. Price is about 22 quid and come with the thread inserts for the screws, however no screws and no bungs. For the front section you will need 2 of the plastic bung clips and 3 screws iirc. thanks josh

Drive carefully. You will be really pleased with yourself if you get past your first couple of years driving without crashing, 172 is a powerful car for somebody young, for me lose the spoiler and get some standard wheels. But top motor mate you must be the envy of your mates.;) :P

tips on fitting?, im going to try towing it off i think.
