Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Had an oil change today. Mileage is at 96,539. Used a genuine filter/sump washer and gulf 5/40 oil..
Whilst up on the ramp at work we found the o/s/r caliper is sticking and the rear discs have had it so they will be being replaced shortly...
I've got Gaz gha's. I don't get any noise on the front even tho my top mounts are shot. My rears however do clunk and it's the rear springs not sitting on the platform properly. Does get annoying but I'm used to it now. It's been doing it since April.

Sounds good mate. Will be ordering some door card material shortly so that will save me another 5-10kg's with front cards and speakers/radio removed. Will update shortly :)

Just got back from Northampton Motorsport. Very nice place modern and clean.
The car weighs 966.50kg without me in and with a quarter of a tank of petrol. It was weighed using intercomp corner weighting scales so very accurate.
The front...

Hi mate, youl love it when you get it back. Mines only used as a weekend car now so it gets a good run out every weekend. Good thing is when you drive a normal car for a week an jump into it you really appreciate it. I still like the pop and bang...

It just feels loose and not as tight. The rear is planted where the grit isn't basically. The mounts will be what's causing it.
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Fitted the whiteline rear arb last night and what a difference it makes. I've set it to hard and you can really feel how stiff and planted it makes the rear end. Only downside is it highlights that I need to improve the front by getting the top...
The front bumper and the mirrors I had to paint as they would not wrap properley. Check out my old progress thread for my black phase 1 that i had wrapped.
Lol I've had T5MY G on for about 3 years also and touch wood never had any problems and regularly drive in town with police cars looking at the car but never pull me for it.
