does anyone have any old shool 172 test mule pics from back in the day?

nice dude, :) missing the 172 cup badges on the door pillars though

i take it this car is a 172...... with182 cup pack alloys?

wtf i thought 3rd party meant if it was YOUR fault you couldnt claim to fix your car...... but surley if its their fault you can claim on his???!!!

wouldn't have said the tints were factory fit though.... love that colour :)

no gaskets needed, just buy a tube of exhaust paste to run over the joints before assembly tis a b**ch to do though

i'd have the aux belt done, as some have been known to fail and take out the cam belt too:eek: the belt itself is only about 12 notes i think, bit fiddly on a full fat though

good lad :approve:

i was thinking along these lines too, but mines done 15 thou less, i'm thinking maybe some engine work on mine.... as that 2k would get some good mods think it depends on your car, you might not have had any major probs with yours..... but then a newer cup might be a 'friday' car.....

Re: Help peco's belong on novas, it'll make your car sound barry..... magnex all the way dude

;)

first question.... why do you need more power? if its not powerfull enough after only two weeks of ownership, it might not be the car for you..... remember the 182 is not just about straightline speed, they have a proper sorted chassis.... maybe book some track days to get the full potential...

with the k-tec mount do you gat the ally part of the mount or just the bushes?

is that spring clamp still there?!

so thats tha mount on the drivers side, and it looks like the you've pinched it together??

they will never look that clean again!

wait a minuite....... they look familiar :cool: mine need refreshing, looking abit tired now (pic from the summer)

cup is a good car, if you want a drivers car, this is it, have you driven one yet? oh and not keep up with a cooper s....... pass a cooper s you mean ;)

its a two man job really!!

hmmmm that rings a bell, i've only noticed it since i've had a new steering rack fitted back in november.... i would imagine the rear mount would have to be moved??

yeah, it seems like the exhaust downpipes to me, i'm i'm quite positive that i've felt summat through the rack too....

i'm getting the banging in 1st etc...... does anybody know exactly which mount is at fault??!! and has anyone brought the lower dogbone mount from k-tec? if so whats the thought on it?

i would say, for around 5k you could get a better example,ie less miles etc just look for the usual, oil leaks, any knocks or bangs etc

whats with the masking in the middle?

does the gear stick feel ok? might just be a broken linkage?

another two spotted an hour go, black mk2 phase 2 172, near bill smiths motorbike shop, and a artic blue 182in the carpark opposite the racecourse

yeah, normally go with the old man, i have gone in mine before, but borrowed me mums fiesta last night... i feel guilty leaving my cup on the streets, always wonder what state its going to be be in after the match! paranoid :(

lucky boy, i hate the mad panic trying to get out :(

very very much doubt it'll be a warranty job, but its very easy to replace yourself

last night (25/01/06) silver mk2 phase2 172, looked lowered, but not 100%, parked outside the bently garage, must have been parked to see the united blackburn match..... come on you reds..... :)
