£50 and a half empty ratty pack of marlboros

I used to do loads of miles in my last job in my 172 and i tried alsorts of fuel, optimax, 95, 97 super, ultimate etc and to be honest, it drove better on optimax and i also used to get more miles from a tank, this also used to show up im my milage log.

LOL

i think its been improved

I'd speak to BenR and Andy at GDI/Angelworks about what they can offer you. Pm them on here

i'd say the sun symbol is your headlights as the faceplate may light up when you turn your headlights on. The Y is prob an output to tell an electric aerial to raise or lower

Is it just me or does that looked like a chaved up vaux nova????? Obv from the closer pics its not and to be honest it looks a very agro double hard motor, i do very much approve!!!!!!!!!

just get the angle grinder out and lop a coil off!!!

i thought that was a sat nav aerial on the zim zim a bimmer

well im a fat b*****d with a full fat mk2 172 so im stuffed anyway!!!

Im not if anything im having a laugh about it, the point that i was making is that (in more detail) say you take a 172 and a cup there is around a 80kg weight difference, if mr cup has just filled his car up and the 172 that happens to pull up next to him with the petrol light on then this...

Prob have yeah its the weight of there heads!!! oj did i not mention fuel aswell tho cup full tank 172 empty think about it the weight advantage can very easily be lost all thats needed is abit of crap in the boot tools etc

I never understand the reasoning behind everyone saying that the cup is faster because its lighter, which in theroy it should be if it was a race car. Think about it, its a road car the weight advantage could be lost by a full tank of petrol and a fat driver!!! plus with a set of wheels with a...

What the pmsl, you had a beer??

Agreed but its only because its an older car, im sure when my 172 has matured to ten fine years it too will be full of things that dont work and get called character!!

The last time i tried this my revs maxed out at 6500rpm and an indicated 140mph i couldnt get it any faster although i did have two lads in it with all there gear for a week

It has been done before I think it was a German company, it used a shaft that ran across the front of the engine and the charger was located where the battery sits.

Is it possible to get hold of just a magnex center section for a 172? im fed up with mine rattling like mad and rather than bunging a standard one on is it possible to get hold of just the center and mate it up to the standard back box? I dont want the whole system as im not a fan of loud exhausts

The 2L 16v engine with 172ps was the gimmick for me!!

Errrrrm yes if you have done it before and have a armory of tools... RichMcc, i wouldnt bother taking it apart for that reason, your best off going to BenR ^ it would be much more worth your while.

Thats grooved disks for you my friend

This is a b*****d of a job due to the size of the engine and the engine bay!! you dont really need to replace the gaskets, i didnt anyway!!! to make your life easier you need to remove the from slam panel where the bonnet lock is, everything else is quite easy apart from the aux belt...

its only a 12k service had mine done a while ago cost roughly 170 squids. Rentech is in Portsmouth i think

....being chased by a porka gt3. the women is damn good!!! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4663069452162988713&q=porsche

Will be doing very soon have a nice collection of autoglym and meguillleerrrrrrs stuff to get busy with, just need a wing mirror so i dont fill my car with water there is just a nice hole now!!!

is it not just a sat nav one?

knackered exhaust i'd say, might have lost the fill out of one or more of the silencers

That is a sweet looking car James, mine is looking like a dog at the min, very dirty and some mother F#@$%R managed to smash my mirror off and leave a nice red scrape of paint on my passenger door!!!

Just a shame its so far south or you could of had a fiddle with my 172!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nutter
