They could well be telling the truth, but for christ's sake, do the work yourself. Anyone with working hands can change brakes.

I wouldn't worry about the light. Gearboxes are common faults. They're not the strongest/people don't treat them too well.

f**king awesome.

Count Bigman and I in. Can draft in a couple more if required.

Sounds good, mate! Too late, though! I've just bought a set of B8's for the rear.. £70 delivered. Win. (:

Awesome!

Also just bought a pair of Bilstein Sprintline front dampers, with Eibach Sportlines. Less than £100. ;) On the look-out for some cheap B8's for the back..

Went for Kumho Ecsta's. £30 a corner, so even if they're shite, it's not the end of the world. It's what most people on 106OC said was best.. I do love how light the thing is. Without the engine, you could pick up the front of the car with one hand! What's your plans for the six, mate?

Yeah, lol. I've seen them on just about every for 106 for sale forum. (; I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible, tbh. Or I might as well have bought a GTi and gone mad on that. Hopefully, this should be pretty nippy for the money! Tyres ordered. Buying for 14" in a low-ish profile is a...

Stands me in at about £650, at the minute.. Few little other bits I need to buy.. Will be well underr a grand, though!! (:

I didn't do the cambelt because I didn't know if the engine even ran or not.. Now I do, it'll be getting done. Engine bay's starting to look a bit tidyer now. Alternator etc are all on. Picking up new ball joints, drop links, a wheel bearing etc tomorrow and going to get cracking!

Lol! The best feeling in the world! You always hear of people that have problems, so pretty lucky! Loud as sin, with no exhaust on!

It runs! Got all the wiring finished off this morning, and connected the fuel lines. First turn of the key, and it started up! (: (:

Looks alright to me. Go have a drive.

You were lucky. Hitting a big van isn't the worst thing in the world.

I haven't got one yet.. Will have a look about. Cheers for the heads up, mate! :cool:

Can they be used at standard ride height?

For quite a few months, I'd been keeping my eyes peeled for something I could buy, which looks completeley standard, and a bit of a POS, with a view to dropping in a decent engine, bigger/uprated brakes, and some decent suspension. Whilst perusing the 106OC, someone in Farnham posted up a for...

^ Going to look like a nob?!

LOL! I've also got Kent cams. Byeeeee.

LOL! Snow driving, you are repeatedly doing it wrong.

LOL at Chris. Spark and fuel. TDC as mentioned.

Er, I think you've still got a dash. WTF?!

Would make more sense having it lower down. There's already a mount there, pretty much.

Candy?! That not a flamer?

It's a Vee. Enough said. ;) Very nice, Mike.

45 is low enough, imo. Any lower and it might become 'crashy'.

LOL! Of course I do. Writing in a hurry.. ABS/AC. Meh.

Use the search. ( ; No, in all seriousness, the 172's aren't as reactive as 106's to things like mani, induction and exhaust. You can spend £500, and not see many gains at all. That money is much better spent on suspension and brake upgrades. A decent set of coilies, and Brembo disks...

Cars with AC are just as easy..
