bags for fags, coilovers ftw!

Boost is the answer....Leeroy fit a diff and catch him in the corners ;)

loving it tommy, cant wait to detail this beauty!

Anybody got NE_clio172's number at all or know of a way I can contact him? Need to speak to him ASAP Cheers

Funnily enough he was telling me about those when he was doing my cambelt....maybe he was thinking about that when he forgot to tighten up the crank bolt ey? LOL

Don't say that haha. Nah I've learned its worth making the trip worthwhile. HUTCHIE came recommended by many people, he himself claiming he's done plenty etc. Peice of mind I thought, now it seems the one person I thought was my only saviour in the NE has turned out to be like the rest of the...

On the trophy mate, I went down to see the lad who has it now and he showed me the bottom end and the head with the snapped valve and head of the valve smashed round.

Well the timing was correct mate, the way the valve has snapped suggests otherwise Anyway I did try and cooperate with Hutchie in repairing the car, even suggesting I would meet half of the costs, but he failed to cooperate. I've been very calm on the matter when its very frustrating to see...

hutchie fitted a new timing belt kit and alternator kit on the car, he didnt tighten up the crank pulley bolt up correctly, turned the car over....crunch ....hutchie takes car away to fix as his fault, replaces 16 valves as 15 were bent, I was told would be new valves, turns out they were second...

wait until you see the valves :( I miss my trophy

Ha this is so funny, I can't believe people are doing this tbh, I'd rather save myself £100 and wait a month or two

I thought people would like to see what happens when you let someone work on your car who lacks experience Cylinder/piston 1 Cylinder/piston 2 Cylinder/piston 3 Cylinder/piston 4 I will get some pics at the weeknd of the state of two valves which clearly weren't up to the job. My...

I'm working 11-7 :( sick :(

That is awesome work mate, I love it!

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse great work dave...what was the final bill?

Yeah mate give me a few weeks as I have a few updates on the way ;) .... and it needs a detail

After noticing a smart repair on the clio on the rear quarter and the paint looking rather flat I decided to take a look at it in the view of wet sanding it back and polishing it back then paint correcting it. Here are the pics, not fabulous as silver is a pain in the arse to try and catch...

You can see from that pic that mondial is slightly deeper although there isnt much in it at all

Lost too much money on the 'T' mate, got a nice little cup now until I get back on my feet, looking for something with a bit more power in a couple of years time....or maybe I'll build something instead ;)

I miss my trophy although id rather have a mini cooper s ;)

looking really nice andy, really need to get my arse up and have a look at that paint, see if I can give you a few hours of my time to return the past favour, or you can come and pick those rear seats up and call it quits ;)

been speaking with craig about this, sounds like it goes very well indeed, nice work and bargain ;)

Yeah mate I'm going to it, hopefully the coilovers will have arrived by then and I can maybe have a little 'set-up' time at hartside while we're there

Think I will be the only person to post a trophy in here just to be different, not the lowest but it could've been if I wasnt arsed about ruining my chassis again. Just for the lols to piss off the trophy purists ;)

I think you'll regret it mate, not as much as you will not selling me those 2118s ;)

Put your foot down and show authority ;)

Dave why you selling it? Seems a shame

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Nice work Dave that sounds like a pretty penny will have been spent with the lads at Jms. When I take mine down for some work I will give you a heads up and meet up at the garage for a bit of trofail chat ;) Let me know how it feels with the...

You can go as low As you want, however the lower you go the less control you seem to get, the ph1 used to bump steer a lot, I could still keep up or leave people through the corners but it involved a lot more work to keep it on the road Tbh if you get a whiteline rear arb you'll find control...

You may or may not remember my ph1 but that was another 30mm lower on the front than the trophy and about 15mm lower on the rear ;) I'm going to have it low but just enough so the shocks still do a decent job
