Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Good that things are going well for you jord, manual rack is a good idea on a car like this, think of the extra weight loss, 800kg's is what your aiming for isnt it? oh and get the 13's on, they where awsomewhen winston had them on the hybrid you went half on at the...

Looking good and thanks again to your bf for fixing the bit of my bumper that vibrated its self loose on sunday.

It does though think its an extra 5 bhp

Sounds like you have the gearbox out the 1.2 16v, my 1.2 will do circa 30 in 1st, 50 in 2nd, 70 in 3rd, 95 in 4th and it hasnt got the power to go over 100ish in 5th but its about 20 mph per 1000 so if your limiter is at 6k that would be 120.

+1 winter isnt the time for racing especially in a cup.

I had the pleasure of driving a 355 last saturday, its was immense, the noise of it gunning it out of a slow corner in 2nd was nothing short of amazing.

Lol I have no problems with spinning up other than in 1st in heavey rain or frost and thats on budgets. The way to avoid it is less power its the future...

Lol at the start to the project. Can't wait to see it complete, it will be awsome.

I've been thinking about doing this aswell, might get an insuance quote on a classic car policy. Only problem i have is i havnt got a garage so it would be outside rusting

God knows what an RS clio is like then because i think my 1.2 has a poor turning circle.

Come on lads we're all friends here no need for argueing.

b******s, maybe get some more from ebay? Is it the paint on the wheel or car that they've scratched?

Its about the extremely poor road makings mate.

Lol if you hit someone and they get you done for assult you can then risk time in jail, definately get a criminal record which will the stop me from having the career i want. Any better idea's for revenge that you have a realy high chance off getting away with let me know.....

What car do you have mate?

If its random then its a shocking and disgraceful act of vandalism. Chances are its a planned attack for a reason. I.e. if someone shaged my gf and they had a decent car it would be the first thing i did, because you can do it easily and get away with it where as hitting then you can easily...

Was a stupid think to attempt. LOL

That in car tv is v.cool, i wouldnt mind one for work.

Looks good mate, not a fan of the bodykits though....

Awsome, i'd spend most of my free time in there if i had a lockup with ramp. I'd have a Mk1 Hybrid and a classic mini in there as projects.

Looks realy realy good mate, should be class on track

Class mate looks like a realy tidy example. Both the 182 and the Valver. Would love to have a modern v old school hot hatch, or either :(

Lovely car and great colur, first 172 - how many you planning on mate?

Gutted for the guy, atleast they didnt get the Vee, plently of 182's in the sea where as Vee's are rare.

lol stuff gets nicked everywhere, manchesters worse for car crime.... Why are you sending it back for good if you have one more problem mate? You may aswell take it back now if you think like that because i can almost guarantee you will have more warranty work in the next 3 years, but its no...

Yes iirc they're very very well speced. Not atall sporty though.

Is it running better now ryan? has the smoke cleared up now.

lol that gearnob was a bad idea on the ph1. Gloves ftw if i where you.

PE2's are your best option by all accounts. Bloody hell my wheels have only sun in 2nd once and that was in heavy rain on a roundabout in the rain and my tyres are crap. Although i am 95hp down on your cup so...

+1 very good advice. Rear Struct braces do nothing. Except look good if you have it stripped out.
