^^^ that's the cause, but i'd just leave the car running with the heaters on full blast with the windows open for a while and it will all evaporate off. Used to do it in my mk2 ph1 :)

it won't make much difference drive wise, they only displace the water anyway, so should be fine. The grooves on PE's are different on both sides of the tyre are they not?

pedal sensor? got to be a little worrying that. Glazed pads wouldn't cause complete lack of braking like that. It would still slow, but badly. Same with disc/pads.

they can be put either way I think. So long as the "outside" is on the outside. Don't think there is any directional arrows on them

had a feeling he was going to do that. Fingers crossed the Gb mount doesnt go on this and fubar the engine ;)

first off, why would you ruin your paint by using a jet wash brush :S Secondly, how could tar from a brush stick to the car? surely the heat from the brush water isn't enough to melt the tar to the car? Are you sure it's tar? Autosmart tardis or autoglym intensive tar remove both work wonders...

who's block is this one Jord? Another mk1 172 on the horizon?

can be done without removing, but easier with bumper off. It's not hard to remove the bumper either to be honest

Can open, worms everywhere ;) Not much really. you could try a slightly longer bit of silicone pipe to move it away from the coolent hoses. I'd be more worried it's blocking them :S Doesn't look too bad though really

common fault due to s**tty design and crap clamps. Be suprised if the mani/cat join isn't blowing slightly too.

looks good mate :D

didn't think upgrades made a difference with regards to reducing cost to be honest. Greenlight didn't put my premium up for lines, zorst, and coilovers. :S

Around a main dealer price that, so would expect it really. Didn't realise Evo had kept the trophy :approve:

You could probably source parts and do it all for £500, so you're getting a car for around 3250 which is worth about a grand more. Not bad really. Or you could strip it, use it as a track toy and sell all the desirables on here and make a bit of money back ;)

it will run fine off 10w40 too, so i'd be suprised if the oil type is the issue. In fact renault quoted me for 10w40 not 5w40 :S Did he put the right amount in?

Very good price. Track car anyone :) I'm sure that car is off here. I recognise some of the pics.

I'd have AG but would have to be second hand as i'd refuse to pay the £1500 plus VAT on the paint :eek:

tar remover or turps would be my first port of call. Don't use a razor blade is all i'll say, its not a window frame ;)

Bent valve :S How the hell? Did the belt slip?

Go on ben, you know you want to ;) Are these quite aggressive cams Danny?

not fussed either way. just think of the extra downforce ;)

that's why I stopped Daz, was worried i'd break the windscreen lol

A straight through pipe would be silly imo. I'm running a BTB system with a modded cat so that the system is 2.5inch from engine to tip. That has a straight through (unsilenced) centre section, and two rear silencers, and it drones a bit to be honest. Depends on how its driven. Sounds mint when...

the blades are a pain. Gave up in the end with mine. Must be a better way to remove them other than pull and hope :(

Glad it's all working out for you mate :)

looks like a good little trip guys. who went out racing?

Strange. They definately fitted ones with bearing yes? Nothing wrong with pressing bearings into discs no, how else would they get in there ;) If the spacer wasn't fitted/fitted wrong you would have heard the ABS ring catching.

Think it's around 100quid to get the bonnet wrapped by a pro. Don't quote me though ;)

lol that's class. where the hell did 238 figures pop from? Must be crap rollers.

That!! Although it's not just with metalic paints unfortunately :( Get it wrapped CF and leave it. It's going to get chipped again.
