    Optimum time to change gear

    its about getting the revs high enough so when you make the change they don't drop off too much and you are straight on the power and not bogged down

    DO 172FF'S HAVE BRAKE LOAD COMPENSATORS

    yup may be a little glazed a few hard hits on the pedal 'll clear that tho best way too cool pads is to drive without using them. worst thing to do is cane them then stop, especially if you then hold the brakes on for a long period or apply the handbrake, that f***s the discs 'cos they cool...

    DO 172FF'S HAVE BRAKE LOAD COMPENSATORS

    are these cars lowered at all? 'cos that can affect load compensators 'cos they think they are loaded up
  25. benji&eka

    lowering on standard shocks

    fitting lowering springs causes the damper to overstroke the main and most apparent problem with this is they start to leak as the seals fail. the other thing is they are less effective and bottom out easier

    DO 172FF'S HAVE BRAKE LOAD COMPENSATORS

    pass, i've not seen anything on the rear axle but thats not to say there's nothing up front. tbf you probably cooked your front pads and they went off

    painting engine

    i don't paint engines just steam clean 'em. i've found if you paint 'em no matter what you use they stink for ages afterwards. and to be fair if i see a painted engine i just think someones covering up oil leaks ect. theres nowt wrong with a nice rusty block!
