Welcome to CS mate and good choice! Any pictures of the 172?
There are plenty of meets and members your way!
All the meets can be found here; http://www.cliosport.net/forums/north-west.124/
Your local area rep is @Knuckles !
There is always stand space as long as you book before the 30th IIRC. Once stand entry numbers are finalised then CS will contact FCS with the space we require. Limited track time left though so get booking ;)
I'd take that with a punch of salt if I'm honest mate. "Wear & tear" is things such as brakes and tyres also. I can't see them buying your car new shoes every year!
Warranty is always good. Regardless or not to whether it will cover the gearbox it's still always good to have if you can afford to pay every month. As long as you've read through the contract and know what you can and can't claim on etc etc.
Don't worry about it too much mate. People will always mention the bad and never the good. Don't get me wrong, the TL4 gearbox is f*cking awful but you still have to be slightly unlucky for it to affect you. Look for other fixes/reasonings for symptoms before hand. I have a feeling mines a bit...
Cost of a gearbox rebuild, removing it, all the labour etc is around £1.2k.
Did you not do any tests of it first? Ie; revs over 5000 and switch between 3rd & 4th gear?
Just a quick one. @fairm010 has got a standard 172 spoiler and wants to put it on his Mk2 ph2 Dynamique. Any drilling required or straight swap? Cheers
Arrived today @ADS1982 , cheers for the heads up mate!
I'll let you know how I get on @yellowbelly & @imprezaworks , will be the first Bouncers product I've used.
Not really. The insurance is all split between colleagues that want their cars to go on it. He will be more out of pocket from a private job if that makes sense.
The bonnet is a stone chip mate, it's old-ish. It's the door that happened today!
One person told me something about not having to declare it as I wasn't in the car at the time of the incident/accident but I'm not too sure how true this is?
Because I'm assuming the cost will be well in the hundreds? I was quoted £350 to remove a stone chip from my bonnet because it's silver meaning the whole bonnet had to be resprayed and then some of the bumper to blend it. I'm unsure how the dent will be pulled and then the paint fixed.
Think my...
Basically, was parked up at work today and my directors mum popped in to drop something off to him. (He is one of my best mates so will play ball in any way he is capable of)
She parked her mini next to my 197 and when she got out she stupidly left her car door open.
She went to get whatever...
