I had a rear bearing fitted before the car was purchased, was £65 iirc on the receipt I got.. Yeah I live just down the road, infact I pass through Sidcup/Orpington a lot haha.. You know my mate Rob though? TheEVilGiraffe? Yeah the rear is less hassle as the bearing is fitted to the disc, then...

Cheers, I was quoted £144 for a front wheel bearing from a Mech.. sound excessive?

Have another quick question to anyone who has maybe an idea.. What would I expect to pay for supply and fitting of a front wheel bearing to my Ph1 172? I've had a quote already, so just wish to compare to anyone perhaps having had one done recently? Rears I would just replace the discs with...

Sounds very promising.. thanks for the info.. well you seen a before, so I shall have to do a after the refurb pics.. (be next month when money is plentiful again :rasp:) Any suggestions on colour? I got a silver ph1.. the wheels I got currently are anthracite and look good IMO, but I ain't...

Creaking is almost certainly the top strut mounts.. as mentioned common issue. the solid mounts from KTR should solve this.. as for the diving, check the damper, my rear one was shot I was experiencing knocking while at slow speeds etc, and while going around a roundabout the rear of the car...

Hey.. The previous owner of my car happily through into the deal the set of original OZ F1 15's , the car was on and is still currently riding on a set of 17 F1's.. Anyways I am wanting to get the originals refurbed to get them back onto the motor and get rid of the 17's (there in dire need of...

Spotted the Silver 1*2 going towards Dartford Crossing (Tunnel Bound) at about 6.30pm ish.. (You flew up behind me then went around) Trophy was parked in Lakeside, on the 2nd Level (I don't know what car park mind.. (as you walk down the car park stairs and enter Lakeside there is Greggs and...

Hehe.. Thats pretty funny.. these things happen mind.. Got jacked in London about 2 years ago, car was taken (don't mess with a guy with a knife!) found the next day, bumper totally scuffed.. picked it up had it taken for repair, 3 days later delivered back and it looked like someone had T-Cut...

I'd say go for the full.. every 18k is the recommended for each full service I thinks...?

When was the last time you had a service on that car? Interim service usually only differes to a full service in the terms of filters.. Full service usually includes, new panel filter and a fuel filter IIRC.. also be looking at a spark plug change..

Train? haha.. Bummer.. Keep up the quest! A car you won't regret owning, I hope :rasp:

If the car was driven for a long time with a buggered spring it could of caused the damper to be knackered.. check for grease at the seal usual sign its been or has leaked.. although may have all gone already.. I had my 2 rears replaced about a month ago. Parts and fitting was just shy of £130...

Can be raised.. Coilovers are adjustable.. as for ride, MAYBE a little bumpier, but the handling will improve untold!

That is one sexy mint looking flamer! What's wrong with the coilovers mate? See you lifted your budget.. The car on PH looks pretty decent also.. (obviously pictures are not as good as seeing it)

Fiddle Sticks! Sundays are a no go :( working them nights and sleeping all day in preparation!

Agreed

Haggle! can get the belts done for around £400 from a independent. but that's your choice of course...

Sure you'd want to do this yourself? Try the Traders Section.. A few sellers doing the Matched Inlets on there! Recommend Jam Sport, Friend of mine had his done there and his 172 SHIFTS and is better through out the revs! (Ph1 Mind :rasp:)

Looks a bit more sensible FSH is what you want! Ask about the belts.. at that age/mileage is imperative! Subnote: Aux belt also.. every 36k IIRC

Perhaps.. but like I said I couldn't give you sound advice on the difference if any That's true. I did not think of that.. Something sounds a miss..

I couldn't really advise you tooo well, but I have heard that the EU imports are no different to the standard UK versions. Please do not take that as gospel.. Hopefully someone else more clued up will pipe up soon!

Ph1 aint called a 'PH-Quick' for nothing ya know :rasp: Either way there both awesome cars... may I suggest perhaps paying for the membership? £10 and you can view the for sale cars, I think there are a few knocking about.. Plus if you getting one anyways its worth it! Free key ring and all ;)

Looks tidy to me.. but like others have already mentioned... ask about the service history... Also if you do buy it, get rid of that filter.. Talk about heat soak! Ph1 air box FTW! GL looking mate.. Sometimes it worth holding out for that little longer... P.s.. You got your heart set on...

True that... But dam that's so shhhexy!

Cheers people! Shall have a looksee

If I put them on now, I would get away with them looking anthracite :cool:

Yeah I know.. but worth a shot on here to see if anyone has any or if they do them ;)

Hey there guys and girls, I been on the hunt for a '2.0L 16V' sticker for my engine cover for my 172 and have spotted one on eBay.. No fixed price mind.. Just wondering if there is anybody on here who can possibly make up these stickers or has done so already, and if so how much? Looking to...

Did I hear someone say meet?? Hmm..

Can split the RCA output and use HPF and LPF filters on the amps to get low and high freq audio (if required).. Dink is correct with what he says also.. but make sure you check..
