Re: Just fallend into 172 ownership! Damn right With a clean body and a receipt for the cambelt by someone reputable, you have a £2-2250 car there.

Why on earth has it got cup headlights and seats??

Didnt he used to do a lot of work on 205GTis?

Re: Just fallend into 172 ownership! Fair deal

Could that not be a case of timing out so not sparking at the right time meaning its over fueling? I would be doing a leakdown test before pulling the engine out

I have just read both pages in full.......... and I am still no further on, ha ha I guess I just need to piss about, driving a few, and then buy whichever my heart says

Can that actually be done chip?

So, looks like I will be coming back to the clio fold very soon. I've decided to stay true and get another 172, but for the life of me, I cannot decide what to get. I love mondial blue and turinis, the whole package just looks awesome. However, not sure I can get on without aircon or...

You got a hi-res one of this?

This has just made me decide on my next 172

Looks lovely!!

Is that smoke? oil?

Needs bumper stickers

Well, test drove a GTi6 tonight. Wasnt too impressed to be honest. Didnt feel mega fast, and lacked the urgency that the clio has about it. Guess thats one off my list

Shortlist lincludes Phs1, maybe another Phs2 106 GTi in Sundance or Blaze yellow, maybe even a VTS in posidean or gold 306 GTi6 Considered an E36 328i..... but they are a little asian. Basically, I want something I can get in, drive, and not worry about issues. I need to start putting...

Given up now, straw that broke the camels back and all that The new CVH lump is going in this week (hopefully) and it is for sale Back to the frogs I go then

Seems that way. Mate is dropping of his measuring tool later to see if the bores on my old block are OK, if so, will swap crank/rods/pistons from a spare. If the bores are shafted, then I will send new block to engineers to be sorted

So, had the car running for a little while. Used it for a couple of trips here and there. Had it booked in with my mate for its rewire this sunday. However, on thursday night, the car had other ideas. Drove to Morrisons in the rain to get some food. Car started to misfire a little, then cut...

Hunting for a new TV, was originally looking at Samsungs and Sony LEDs around 40" circa £500 Then noticed a 47" LG for £500 with 100hz refresh and enough HDMIs Anyone had any experience??

Currys advertise great deals on their site, yet never have any stock. When you go in to check, they say they are discontinued....... yet still on display :mad: I want to go and buy a TV... tonight..... and its just a pain in the f**king arse.

That silver hatch is cool

If you want an angle grinder, i dont mind lending you mine. can drop it round anytime you like with a fresh disc

I havent been elsecar for a few years, still nice to see a few decent cars there

Set of c***s. Surely you can get a decent lump and ECU for £500, and fit it yourself. If you feeling fruity, slap a cambelt kit on and a set of shells
