I've always wondered if it was just possible to reduce the travel on the standard ones?

Seriously? In 5 years of clio ownership I've never had a knackard strut, so why are ones in a scrappie likely to be no good?

Looks really good, the clutch should transform it. Now it's time to learn to drive it without mullering it ;)

Cheers chaps. Mat, one more, honest! You can't see both sides of the car at the same time, so unless it's really obvious, I'll just be doing one more.

I'd try a 120? If it's not rough enough, then go lower, but at worst you're looking at: 40 80 120 400 600 800 1200 Polish You may be able to miss out some stages though

Re: ph1 project take 2 Sprayed with aerosol?? If so, does anyone do titanium pre mixed in a can? Pics? Oh and ph1 lights? Boo!

Unfortunately so!

Bit different with you though Mr Mechanic, you've got the skills to make it what you want it to be, 99% of people will just think "oh, this doesn't work now" etc.

I've never seen this project before, noticed it off the back of the other bus project that's just gone up. Absolutely love it. Shame you had to give it over to some one else, you seemed to be doing pretty well yourself, but if you've got the cash ;) Keep us updated, I'm with Fubar, best...

Love "Does it go sideways" lol! Good work on lowering it, better pics needed.

People say you should never buy the same car twice, and tbh, I think they're right. It'll never be the car it was when you had it the first time.

My friend is breaking his 106 GTI, with the intention of getting a lot of hot hatches in and doing the same. He wants to be the Budgie of the 106 world if you will. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/hothatched/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686 He has pretty much every part available at...

Some really nice shots in there. :)

Pardon? Aren't they Gaz? Don't they go SILLY low?

Good find mate!

Welcome to the club, nice to see a young new member who speaks proper English and introduces them self properly. Get some pics up and any ideas for mods you might have, people will always be willing to offer advice (even if you don't like what they're saying ;))

Cheers mate, got one in an envelope right next to me :D

I've got some peanuts and a crack in my brake lights... can we be friends? Squirrel, I can't believe you managed to feck up fitting a cup spoiler! FLOL!

I'd like to see where you fixed them also mate, I'm ordering next week :)

I think you should do it Ad. I'd come and fit them with you and everything would be good in the world!

You don't hang about mate! You a mechanic by trade?

Was a bit confused when I saw this bumped, then realised I'd posted it in another thread! I loved the car journey, some epic roads into Epernay, and generally the 172 was a great car for it I think :) Although for the GF's sake, I made sure no car journeys were over 3 hours. lol!

Well, a while back I well and truly ruined one of my pretty painted o.z f1's.... I managed to source another wheel from a loyal CS'er but had no colour code or anything to match up against. After considering a lot of different options I decided to go for it and see what I could achieve anyway...

What mounts do you want? I'll have top gearbox and top engine by tomorrow. Discount on that gear knob?

Nice work mate, do the bushes need welding in like they do on the mk2? How's the uprated engine mount? Shake like f**k?

Pads very cheap? Care to elaborate? ;)

Where are you located mate? I'd consider asking someone to give you a hand if you're not even sure how to take them off...

I'd love those wheels on my ph1 Edd, maybe we could share them? One side each?

So what's required is just a compressor and gun? So just compressor cost + £40... Interesting. If you're ever bored mate and fancy spraying something, call me ;) I'm up in Luton pretty often :P

I like it, barr the fact you went orange again, bright blue would have been interesting. Really good work on the spraying though, do you do it by trade? A question, how much did all the kit cost you?
