Done over 2300 miles in the car now in a 3 week period lol. Did players classic weekend before last, and then drove back down south to my mates weekend just gone, to head over to VW days in France. Still has all 2300 miles worth of dirt too :cool: haha Got sent these pictures the other...

Seen that kind of mileage thing before, will have just been a mistake, as it goes back to where it should be the next time its checked.

Wheels are a secret ;) haha Still not got them, was meant to be collecting whilst I was up in Scotland... but it never happened. Anyway, did Scotland. All 1300 miles of it, without a single problem. If anyone ever gets the chance to drive the highlands, do it! Best roads I've...

Exclusive looks mint! Write s**t off for next to no reason nowadays, its daft. Good progress, I hope for an EXTREMELY clean bay after all this!

I've a standard ph1 wheel you could use to send to Snappy :wink: Nice colour front bumper :cool:

Yeah, under the bonnet is all painted, although its a little light on lacquer. No updates as such, put me CS.net sticker in, swapped ariel for a smaller one I got off Tom Front brakes have started squealing, not sure why. Do it at low speed, when I'm rolling up to lights or something. Didnt...

Blimey! It's a cool plate, but yeah... that's the price of an average ph1 haha! Definitely worth selling it separate though imo.

What's the reg valued at currently?

Looks smart dude! Had some F1's, sold them within a fortnight as I have other ideas :cool: Got a few bits done today after work First up, switched out my hazard switch for one I got off Tom. Glad to say it's fixed the problem of them not working with the key out of the ignition Next up...

An EVO of some shape. But I don't plan on getting rid of the 172 for a couple of years, so my mind will inevitably change before then.

Take it to a specialist, and it will be done correctly Take it to average garage, they may well do it correctly, and fair play if so. BUT chances are they wont, all parts needing replacing may not be replaced and the timing will be out.

Ah ok , got it now. can't do CSS unfortunately, I'm in Prague on a stag. And FCS I'm in Scotland on a bit of a road trip. Missing all the main ones haha. next year hopefully.

That link takes me to a load of sockets? haha Maybe one day I'll change it, when I'm running out of things to do haha. But for now, I'm happy to just give it a clean and leave the bay be. Oh, it's Toby btw!

Started cleaning the bay, my biggest regret yet is polishing headlamps with bonnet open. Absolute nightmare getting rid of the polish that went everywhere. It's doing my head in haha. Got rid of the best part of it anyway, just more cleaning to do when the weather goes nice again. Still need...

Nice change of direction, although selling the turbo kit :openmouth: May have been clever, but it was also silly :wink: I'm all for stripped out cars, but when you use a car daily it can take away the enjoyment. It's all about the creature comforts.

Makes sense, about the noise. Will make the drive to Scotland a little easier on the ears anyway lol

Managed to get quite a bit done this weekend, even with spending Saturday in Cardiff and today being at work until 3. Cars back on the road now. Few things, the new dogbone mount and the fresh gearbox oil has done nothing to help the crunch on downshift into 3rd, infact I think its worse, I...

I cant make my mind up now on the inlet haha... they look good polished, but with the satin clearcoat it reflects the light differently on the text so already stands out a little more than usual. Think I'll leave it as is for now, can sand it off whenever if I change my mind! And really? I...

Gearbox re-filled and the cars finally back on all 4 wheels again. Been working on the inlet manifold past couple of days, how it was to begin with After some prep, and working through the grades on the text Primed Painted, have used matt lacquer but this was when the paint was wet...

Rarely see V6's around here! Infact, I've only ever seen one in Wolverhampton, and that was before I could drive, so years ago 😂

Just drove past you on Whiteoak drive, I was in my mom's bright green lupo though haha! Driver had a beard :up: Looked like iceberg silver, was lowered a touch, didnt see a lot else tbf.

haha, I cant wait to hear it all once its back running. Going to be like a different car almost, should sound completely different, brakes should hopefully put me through the windscreen, gear changes should be better. Just received a tasty picture from Snappy too :hearteyes: Cant wait for that...

Been busy, in-between working all damn weekend :rage: Went about doing the brakes, started on the rears, discovered they were near new... fresh mintex pads and what looked like new discs. Decided not to bother changing them, however did change the lines. Niiice and easy they were, compared...

Yep, ordered it all last night. Always liked ITG stuff. Going to get started this evening after work, wanted to start cycling to work again anyway, I'll have no choice now as It'll be up on stands for a few days. Will sound completely different after this, new exhaust and intake!

I was taking that road easy, I had no idea where it was going or anything haha! Was good though, some awesome views. Can imagine it being fun if giving it some beans. Said something at the start about charges? should I have paid or something? lol Can't wait to get started on fitting all these...

Would like to say a massive thanks to @Ph1 Tom, went to his today to collect some goodies, ktec exhaust and prima racing mount, ended up leaving with a bunch of other bits and bobs too :cool: Even made me a cuppa, gent! Had a natter and discussed the obvious things, turbos and superchargers...

Looks like a Hillman Imp, could be wrong though @Mar172

Nice, decent mileage! Looks waaay better now than with those wolfrace alloys haha.

Bugger that is man :( Fun times ahead switching them though. Brilliant excuse for upgrades also! What's happening with the rest of the exclusive, if you dint mind me asking?

Yep, I like it! looks very at home, prefer the filter over the ktec one.
