I minted up my Monaco today: Gave it a full buff with fine compound Full valet inside and out and blacked all rubbers/plastics Then I used Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish Then after I used Meguiars Deep Crystal Carnauba Wax I then Used a 3 stage Perfect Finish Diamondbright system! I have to...

Ok so i have now decided that i am going to change the orange! lol. I dont think it looks too bad but i dont want to be laughed at on the road! Mirrors are going back to monaco but I need a colour to do the badges, bullets and calipers! The hoses under the bonnet and on my supercharger will be...

Just an orange I made up with a few tinters at work Yep! Just waiting for the intercooler to come from Forge and the brackets from Angelworks! Im stuck on what colour hoses to get? Im thinking blue? I was going to get orange but I think blue is a safe bet incase I change the orange -which I...

Everones entitle to their own opinions! Nobody is being arsey, people are just trying to save someone alot of time, effort and money and handing over their opinion on the matter! Theres millions of threads like this and in the end the thread starter usually always sees sense! There is really...

wont it just blow the plastic inlet manifold to pieces????

They are ebc aparently so should be quite decent! and he only wants £40 with the bearings. They are brand new aswell, were put on the car for the mot but it failed on all sorts so hes breaking the car, they were only used to the test station and back - 6miles! just neeeeeed to know if they will...

any1? just a yes or no will do.

Or headlights, lol

It nowhere near as bright as it looks in the pictures!

Heres my car on Apex, tbh its a nightmare, handles really well but the roads are bumpy near me and everything just bangs! Sometimes sounds like its smashed the wheel off if you hit a pothole!

My mate has a set of grooved and dimpled discs, They were originally on a clio 1.8 16v mk1 I believe but they look the same as the 172 discs. Can someone confirm they fit as if they do I will be buying them. (Sorry bout the quality, crappy iphone camera) Also they dont have the abs ring on...

I guess its a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it! Im going to stick with it for now. No doubt it will change soon though! Thanks for the comments. P.S - Ive decided to go with blue samco for the conversion now. Just to be safe. lol

I know there is going to be some mixed opinions on this but I really like it. I saw a ph1 on here the other day with orange detailing so I thought I would see what it looked like on a monaco ph2. Personaly I think its looks pretty good. I have yet to do the calipers (leaving this until next...

Why dont you save yourself some money and just put a 172 engine in! And it will be quicker!!!!

Could go for a bargain price! 1 day left...

Yeah it did have pro race on it, in white, there on ebay at the min, end tomorrow. the ride is ok on 17", cant really say the same for the apex springs though, very very bumpy! they will be for sale when I get my coilovers though. Thats gunna be when the conversion is finished. All the parts...

Im getting mine supercharged at RS Tuning. Awesome kit and it will be running around 250 bhp. Once mine is done Paul rekons he can do this kit at roughly £3500. Also the supercharger he fits is good for 400bhp with internal mods!

Yeah im going to do the braided lines too, discs and pads first though as they are easy to do.

I am wanting to upgrade my brakes as I am getting my car supercharged at RS Tuning. I have already bought some pads (Ferodo DS2500) and am now looking at discs. I was wondering what is the best discs between grooved, drilled, drilled & grooved? I have been told that drilled tend to crack and I...

Hi mate, Yes I am going ahead with this. I am just waiting for paul to go to angelworks so they can make another bracket. Hopefully it will be sometime next week when its started, Im dropping the money off to paul on thursday or friday so he can order the parts etc....

Just been having a good look through my service manual and found that it had a 'B' service in 2007 which will of been 5 years from new and on 46k miles. From what I can uncerstand from the service book this means its had the cambelt etc done. Can someone help me and confirm this???

Hi all, I need my cambelt changing and was wondering where the best place to go is?? I am getting it supercharged in a few weeks so I dont need the aux belts doing, just the cambelt. I want somewhere as cheap as possible but a proper job. Preferably in the Leeds area??? Any recommendations??

Yeah it is quite loud! Its 2.5" straight through from the cat though with the silencer removed. Not too loud, just right. Dont know what it will be like with just the back box though??

The exhaust was on the car when I bought it, Im not a massivefan tbh. Im planning to get a k-tec resessed exhaust anytime soon.

These are my superleggera copies. £400 for a set with tyres and fitting kit! Cant go wrong. Bang some o.z centre caps in like ive done, sorted. budget tidy wheels!!!

lol, I bought the springs a while ago, before I decided I was going to supercharge it. They are a temporary measure until I can get some coilovers.

Last week I fitted some Apex 40mm lowering springs aswell as a carbon cup splitter and cup rear spoiler (which needs painting) and today I gave the monaco a really good clean inside and out and treated all the leather! In a few weeks its going to RS Tuning for a supercharger fitting so I took a...

Im getting my 172 suercharged at RS Tuning in about 2 weeks time now. Paul is mapping it on the standard ecu and will be running approx 250bhp on standard internals

Paul will be doing mine at 250bhp (approx) and he told me this 'should' be safe on stock internals.

Oh sorry, I got confused! Yeah they do offer it at that if you want to fit it yourself!!! K-tecs low pressure turbo conversion is £3220 fitted which will work out a similar price to the supercharger from RS and you get approx 40 more horses with the charger, alot better sound, smoother and...
