Another less than stunning update but here we go nonetheless. When I bought the car it had a viper filter fitted but the cold air feed was missing.I wanted to replace it with the standard air box but had a bit of a saga to get hold of one.As it happened a lad at work has recently bought a cup...

Pretty sure it would have been you mate,was around 1-ish I think.I was off for an afternoon of hell in the metro and was in the family tank otherwise I would have given you a wave.

Not the most exiting of updates but I changed the aux belt this morning as there was no mention of it having been done with the timing belt.I plan to get the timing belt service done again pretty soon regardless but the aux belt had some marks on it that were bothering me and for the sake of...

Thats the one! I managed to get it down to a good price which included full t&t on it along with sorting a replacement power steering sensor as part of the deal.I knew at least one of the mounts were shot from the test drive but after swapping the dogbone bushes to powerflex it drives spot on...

Thanks mate.I have been working my way through your thread and gaining plenty of inspiration,great looking car! Cheers Ross.

Hi, After buying a 172 cup last week I thought I would put up a bit of a diary thread for what's going on with my car. This is the first car of my own I have had on the road for a while due to having a company 4x4 and messing about with a race car project.I moved house a little while ago and...

Thank you,was hoping something as straight forward as this might help.Will give it a go and report back. Cheers Ross.
