They don't look great do they? probably even worse in person. Person who won the bidding previously has probably gone up there to pick them up and refused to pay due to their condition.

I'd have said "go for the Turinis" but looking at DrRollo's car, it'd suit your car well.

I know it was a different car but on my old Escort I had Toyos on the front and Mitchellens (not PE2s) on the back and the car handled fairly well for what it was. The toyos started getting low so I swapped them around so the Toyos were on the back. That turned the car in to a right nightmare...

That does look in good nick.

I think he has a problem, I understand people and their obsessions with their cars, but talking about them as they're a person? hmmmmm :S Or is this another one of these joke adverts?

+1 That tail pipe looks awful.

The lumpy idle, does it do it more when the engine is cold? My previous 172 Cup did it all the time when the engine was cold and went away when it'd warmed up. Only way I can think of getting rid of it is getting it re-mapped.

Had the car up, removed the shockers and they're fine, swapped the springs and made sure they were set in properly then dropped the car down off the axel stands. Car actually sat evenly on both sides, took the car for a quick drive around the block and it's gone back to the way it was...

Good idea, at least then I'll know for certain if it's the shocker that's causing the problem.

Does yours feel nervous when you're going over dips and bumps in the road at speed though?

Hmm, are you being serious there? lol I can't see it being that because when the car comes out of the factory it sits even.

I know that feeling, everytime I look out the window at it. No one else seems to notice it though. :S

^^^ Camskill seem to be the cheapest, but check the delivery charge because I'm not sure what they charge for outside mainland UK.

Fitted my Eibachs on Monday and they've evened out the gaps between my wheels and wheel arches nicely. Only thing is, the offside rear is roughly 20mm lower than the rest of the car. Pretty sure it'll be down to the rear shock on that side but I just wanted to get confirmation before I waste...

Ah! I see what you mean, I thought you meant it was like the scams on PistonHeads. Putting an item up for sale that doesn't actually exist.

If it was a con though, surely they'd have a ridiculously low price on them?

Renault? or the speedline version from K-tec.

It's because the outer casing around the filter is made of carbon fibre.

Lol. I was expecting to see it in a ditch or something when I saw the thread title.

I've just been on there this second, so it might be a problem at your end? Try using a link via this site.

Soak the bolts at the bottom that attach the bottom of the shocker to the rear hub in WD40 the night before you do them as well. That was the only way I could loosen them.

Yeah I've seen that, but it's meant to be quieter than K-tec's stealth.

Yeah I plan on de-catting too. Motorway driving with a loud exhaust doesn't bother me, I drove an old mk3 fiesta without a back box up and down the motorway everyday to work for months a while ago. (to skint to afford a new one at the time)

Planning on changing my rotting standard exhaust in the near future, but I can't decide which one. Ktec's Supersports stealth or the Yozzasport race system. I heard Liquid Forces Yozzasport system on his 182 the other night and it sounded immense but the 172 version I don't like the how the...

Is that your car in your avatar? If it is that looks seriously low.

Majority of people on here have had negative experiences with inductions kits. When I had a Viper on my previous Cup it seemed to improve acceleration, it may have been psychological due to the noise it was creating when I booted it.

^^^ Now that's a sleeper. Someone's going to get a shock during traffic light Grand Prixs. Lol
