    A quick pic' of my pikey wash.

    First wash of the year and first for about three months. Proper pikey products were used. Process was: Rinse with the jet wash, soaked in a mix of 1 part gunk to 4 parts cheapo wash and wax (£5.00 for 5l tat), wheels soaked in Tesco equivalent of Fairy Power Spray, arches soaked in Cif...

    Anyone tried Cif Bathroom Mousse on springs, arches etc?

    Just a thought really. I'll probably get flamed for it. Given that it is difficult to get in to really scrub these areas with the Apex fitted, would a coat of this stuff left to soak do any good?

    Any firm info' on BenR's 'secret' 1*2 inlet/plenum?

    I've been casting a few notes aside each month for a spot of Mr R's manifold matching. I have also been on the lookout for a spare inlet manifold and plenum ready for the work. Now I have managed to purchase an inlet manifold for which I paid the grand total of £7. Now do I purchase the...

    Just found a hilarious pic'

    This picture was taken around 3 months ago. When I first passed, the car was parked up further along the pavement, nothing unusual I thought. 90 min's later after a session in the gym, we drove passed to find this. It looks like someone 'forgot' about the railings. Oh how we laughed as we...

    What's the best way to bed in new discs and pads?

    I recently bought a set of OE spec front discs and a set of Mintex Extreme pads for my 172. I have read the stories of people experiencing squealing with these pads but I'm sure that won't be an issue. Now I need to know what would be the best way in which to bed these brakes in. I seem to...

    What size steelie would fit my 172?

    I want to remove the spare alloy in order to reduce weight but I don't want the risk of no spare. What size steelie would fit over the calipers of the 172? Anyone any ideas what car I could get one from?

    Best way to remove 172 gearknob?

    As above. What is the best way to remove the gearknob from both a phase 1 and 2 172. I don't want any cutting involved. Or would it be more feasible to swap the entire stick at the pivot point?

    Why is a FF 182 lighter than a FF 172?

    As we are all aware, the 172 Cup is the lightest of the phase 2, mark 2 Clios weighing in at a purported 1021 kg (or there abouts). Then we have the 182 Cup at 1060 kg (all figures approximate), now why is there a 39 kg difference between these 2? ABS on the 182? We move onto the FF's. A 182...

    Lots of movement in gear stick when backing off???

    I have suspected that my engine mounts may be a little shonky ever since I bought the car. It is due for its 48k service shortly at which time it will be getting new discs, pads, plugs, belts etc. but I want to nip this exhaust knocking, gearstick shaking issue in the bud at the same time...

    Rockford Fosgate 45.2 Amp', any good?

    Following on from my thread re. co-axials, I was advised to integrate an amp to gain the most. I picked this up yesterday, is it any good for the price? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200053788666&rd=1&rd=1

    Which (un-amped) coaxials with Alpine? 9850RI

    I'm looking to upgrade my front and possibly rear speakers but can't be bothered with the hassle of amp wiring or dash removal for the fitment of tweeters/cross-overs. Which coaxials do you guys recommend for use in my 172 with my Alpine 9850RI?

    Would matching the inlet manifold alone make a big difference on a 172?

    I have picked up a 172 inlet manifold for practically nothing. Firstly, I need to clarify that they are interchangeable between phase 1, 2 and 182? Secondly, I only have the inlet manifold, not a replacement plenham and have never liked modding any part of my car without a standard replacement...

    2.0 badges increase premiums on a 1.2, do 1.2 badges...

    ...decrease premiums on a 2.0. Just a thought. It would possibly make the car less attactive to the dregs of modern society.

    I saw it this evening parked just off of Vicar Lane. Blue with 172 rims, Cup spoiler, Cup and 2.0 16v badges. It looked quite well done but not sure how well the badging will go down.

    Matching exhaust manifold, worth it?

    I'm currently contemplating a bargain 182 manifold. Now with all the talk about inlet manifold matching, how much of a gain would I see if I matched the exhaust manifold to the gasket? Obvioulsy it wouldn't be anywhere near the gains seen on the inlet side but is it worth my effort/cash?

    Mk2 phase 2 1.2 side badge part number?

    I've been looking for ages and very nearly had a set. Short of skulking around a supermarket car park late one night, I think I may have to go to the stealers. Does anyone have a part number for these and costs? Or any for sale?

    Mk2 172 centre exhaust mount Part No?

    How much difference does 1 passenger and a tank of fuel make?

On the way back home we had a lttle jaunt up a motorway slip road and down to the next junction. The performance of the cars was absolutely...
