what did your oil gauges look like at these speeds mate?

want

not many people are going for black. Nice colour IMO

nice work. Who owns that work bench? lets hope they like orange ;) Love the car mate.

yes

They don't tend to exist anymore but a TV repair shop could sort that especially if you could find out what that chip is. I'm not up on my alarm systems sorry mate.

welcome. You'll fit in very well here.

nice car

imo, wing mirror fail

cheers mate. Once done saving I'll give him a call.

If only funds would allow :( My car is going to be a budget job tbh - student fail. Although I don't intend to buy cheap management as I don't think it's any good.

I've been told the Golf AGU engine is one of the strongest twice now. It's got the stronger crank and big valve head. I'll be using a K04 as 260-270 is easily enought for me. The 5 speed box from the golf is an 02J which fits - these are rumoured to take between 300-330 bhp. V-dub shafts are...

Yes the bearings normally come pre-pressed into the disc. It's not a job you can do yourself. You need a big press.

get this running!

oh and also, labour wont be much. About an hour, hour and a half per shaft maybe

CV joints are under boots on the driveshaft, If they are not packed with grease the break quickly. Yours sound farked tbh They are a part of the driveshaft, so you need a new shaft. as a guide GSF do them for about £70 each, for NON sport models. Don't go to renault. That will be bloody expensive.

never removed a MK1 rear bumper personally. Don't think you'd fail an mot for it TBH

ditto that. it's goldy brown to start but will quickly discolour

Do you mean you are completely satisfied with the way your 182 shifts and you are not interested in more power? edit: cos I don't know about you, but I want 250 bhp/tonne :)

Is that because the engine bay itself is bigger? or becuase f7 blocks are just a silly big block to go in a valver? Love your car(s):cool:

nice cheap drift weapon here. Top job

Sounds like the linkage is bent/needs realigning/needs adjustment although i've never heard of this before.

Agreed, it's not a nice peice of kit, especially for the price. But this should be cleared up. I know that each of these pipes is hand made so they could all be different, but this is what i made of mine. It's not a perfect fit but exhaust paste on the decat/midsection solved that. I suspect...

For £1k you could have someone fit cams and map the engine. MAYBE get a BMC CDA induction kit too. Cams are not realistically going to return 19bhp Remember that a 172 engine is not 172bhp to start with. Its 172 PS (169bhp iirc)

good work mate, Get some justice

hmmm top edit that

named and shamed

last photo is truely stunning. Love the colour

Not such a good idea then. pm that Tw@ whos idea it was and call him a timewasting idiot ftw. lol ;)

with 172s, you don't get those kinda gains for that money
