Hi guys, hope all is well. I have to change the valve stem oil seals on my clio as they melted and are leaking oil as my car over heated. What is the best way to change these? i dont really want to have to take the cam belt off and the head off to be able to do it, i have machined an adapter...

No worries.

My battery was absolutly fine mate and all of a sudden started doing exactly what yours was doing, i had dim lights, slow windows, i could bump it tho, but wouldnt turn over, would just "click" like you said. What happens is because the battery aint giving out enough V's for the engine, and the...

Hi mate, I had this problem last week, it was the battery, after a long time time they tend to not hold charge anymore, Go to your local motorfactors and get a new one, sort me 39 quid ;)

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Nice one Jord, looking forward to the update as i know what to expect ;)

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Weld them from the back to make sure they dont come out ;)

I woudn't bother mate, just save up, why spend about 50 ish quid on centre caps when you dont like the wheels anyway, keep them like that, save up and just change them. Nick.

This is one amazing project!

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Liking the coil pack positioning mate, did you have to make a bracket for it? got any pics? .. Looks very smart.

Nice little tool that ;)

Looking better :)

Welcome to the forum. I live in Rhoose, which is just by Cardiff Airport, so we are in a similar area :)

Looks amazing! - cant wait to see this done!

Your car is amazing, Rob. Any chance you could pop on msn for 10 for a chat? faster than this and PM's.

Just over 2K wouldnt be so bad for the car it is. I love PH1's, i really do, yours just looks orgasmic, but im not to keen on the dash's, would a PH1 be cheaper to insure? i thought they were the same group?

Facking hell! I lost a friend who wasn't wearing his belt 2 weeks ago, grew up with him, he was passenger. - get some pics in here of the rolled car! and for everyone saying how powerful it is, ive driven a few close to 200bhp cars on track and a audi S3 remapped to 300bhp on the road, insured...

im amazed your alive Daniel. :evil:

LOL. Thanks Rob. What would you class as "okay" LOL.

Yeah its age.

What company was that with? Could you give me some more details?

Hi all, Thinking of selling my current clio, and getting a ph2 2002 172 in jan/feb, just wondering if there will be any companies that will cover me on insurance, and if they will what kind of quotes i would get? Went on go compare for a quick look just to get an idea (even though its always...

I dont really mind, Sharing car with the father so he will buy the engine hehe ;)

Cheers mate. It was the battery, and the earth got corroded. All sweet again now, new engine next week as when it ran dry it done some damage and is drinking oil, Thanks all.

thats what i thought, so its been on charge since lunch time, might go and try it now, lights seemed a little dull, horn and cd player and everything else was fine. And yeah there was a clicking when i turned the key, windows didnt seem any slower?

Hi Cs x .. Hope all is well. I was driving through the village i live in, when i spotted the police, i am very good friends with them so pulled over for a chat. We had the chat and they went on their way. I walked back to my car, jumped in, went to start, ignition come on ... Nothing strange...

Thanks Dave, I have since seen some pics and very impressed with his work!

Cheers both. Dave, do you have any pics of his work? thanks.

I Like It.
