Another possibility is the wishbone mounts. I remember a couple of people having similar problems that they eventually traced to where the wishbones muont to the car. Saying that though, my money's on the topmounts first.

Mega! Should be an interesting drive.

How much did you say you'd put on mine again? "it won't stay on the rollers" iirc ;)

And an obscene amount of camber isn't it?

I normally need to change the fronts around 6-8k and get about half as much again from the rears.

At the moment either pilot sport cups, r888s or t1rs. I'm after some full slicks too though.

To be honest, any mapping company who will try to map cams which they know have been fitted without timing data, are in my opinion questionable. To continue mapping such a car after they know there has been valve and piston contact is much worse. Then you have the tuner who knowing all of...

Actually, that's the same as the other vee's I've been hearing about.

Sounds like you'd be happy with it completely standard to be honest.

I think the complaints have been going on for quite a while actually. Hasn't one of them covered a few hundred miles and needs an angine rebuild?

I'm not digging at you fella. I've heard about a couple of vee's recently with a lot of work which have come nowhere near what they were claimed to be making.

[/I] Sounds like the printouts you get from a certain well known specialist.

It'll only make you love it more......

Same man. Fred's the agent for yozza exhausts :approve:

http://www.btmperformance.com/ I was assuming you had been on here a bit, I have the engine that originally lived in your car by the way.

I very much doubt you'll get through sound testing with no back box!!

Speak to Fred for the backing plate, I know he's just had one cut for my car. Laxy's is on jenveys isn't it?

Yeah, cool. That's what I thought. I'll be doing it sooner or later, sounds like a perfect winter job.

That's it. I thought the dci rack was still electrically assisted though?

There are a few done it now, I think the burpspeed car is non pas too. It's something I will definately be doing at some point.

Has to be chunky iirc?

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Great stuff mate! When do you start stripping it? ;)

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Halfway down the M6 I believe. (And I already know the answer) :rasp:

That's absolutely gutting!! Can you not take the cover off and see the belts?

It's not too far from you Naith actually..

Ta dude. It's definately worth a visit. Now I'm sure how to get in, I'll go back with a tripod.

Yes indeed. Cheap, nasty tat. My parents went to Singapore, I asked for a fisheye. You can imagine the anticlimax... Unfortunately I couldn't see just how distorted they are untill I got home.

I know what you mean, you expect the supplier to do something for their profit. At best it would have been a new set of pads you didn't want to use anyway....

Did you get any kind of response from CL?

Got all napoleonic on his radio and told me to delete my pictures. I said, here come and see where I got under the fence, look how I did it. Then promptly buggered off..
