Hi everybody,
I'm thinking of getting some APEX 40mm Springs fitted.
Please can you post some pic's with standard 172 mk2 alloys (if there's any :)), i'm after an aggressive look, not too low or harsh!
Cheers!:cool:
Woooh, hold on to ya hats! That was a little too close for comfort! Could have been very nasty indeed! Was half expecting the front end to disappear into the tyre wall.
Do you need any special tools to carry out a timing belt change or aux belt change??
Since the dealers are soo expensive, i know a guy who owns his own garage and will do a full service, cambelt change, timing belt change and aux belt change all for £350ish thats including labour (depending on...
That's sweet, where did you get it??
In fact...where do you get a clio sport sticker from? joined the club ages ago and still haven't found out how to get one?
Annoying, but at least its getting sorted! i'm with directline, so that feels me with confidence, just hope i never have to use it.
What was she driving, whats the state of damage to hers....oh who gives a sh*t on the last bit! lol
Is it worth getting a carbon box then? The BMC CDA is reasonable at 180 quid delivered but i'm not sure on the whole carbon box thing being a placebo? And the BBPT kit is only 80 quid!! I do like the look of the look of the cones with the heat sheild, like yours bartebk, so i think i'm gonna go...
Apologies to keep harpin on about this but i decided to ask BB Performance about their kit...i.e its a cone style filter, so i asked about the cause of hot air getting into the air intake...heres the reply if your interested....
"Dan,
the hot air scenerio is one that gets asked many times...
Here's my old dynam, subtle but nice, i think anyway! :)

I need to get this done ASAP then, i do a bag load of miles each month. On the flip side of the coin, if it did snap, i could always drop a TT engine in, hey matt? No seriously i'm cacking my self, not the best time of year to be shelling out :( but its better than the consequence.
I remember on top gear, when they had the 182 cup on, that the power to weight ratio was stated at roughly 169bhp per tonne...same as the lotus elise, if i'm not mistaken? If thats anything to go by the 172's must be near 165ish?
My motors got 53k on it and due for a service at 56k, so its probably a good idea for me to do that then? :eek:
How much is this all likely to cost for a main dealer? :cry:
