as said take an adult i strolled into a toyota dealership with my dad to look at a 172 when i had just turned 18, looked at it for 5 mins talking to the salesman, he gave me the keys and put trade plates on it let me take it out MYSELF! 30 min test drive later i was signing the dotted line...

makes my decated k-tec sound so civilised!

i bought this to run about in while i finished my 172 "project" now im spending more on this than the 172!! lol got greenstuff pads, standard disks and new fluid for it now lol

na mate was a few years back, i posted a thread at the time but it was on the old forum not sure if you can still get them? custom made HKS filter was awesome lol

Re: got a f**k off front mount for the dci whats next?!! that suits me perfectly for motorway driving :) gearbox isnt an issue for me, my 172 box is taking 200bhp/150lbft and thats hard driving, dci hardly gets abused just want the power when i need it!

non sport box which afaik externally is identical to an RS box BUT this was on a non sport with only 3 engine mounts, not 4 like the RS has, so granted this much damage may not be caused BUT i wouldnt be taking the chance again. standard lower mount isnt that bad anyway, most of the excessive...

yeah man haha this 1s bigger!!

i cut my airbox in half, removed all the insides (its split into 2 chambers) so opened it into 1 big box, cut the hole that all the air comes in a bit bigger so it could flow more air and glued it together, fitted an HKS pannel filter and used a bigger cold air feed, it was the best setup ive...

boxes are cheap lol if it goes ill change it for a 172 one

aux belt is only a couple of quid and its simple to change nothing like the F4R i wouldnt even bother getting them to change it just do it yourself have a look in the engine bay ull see how easy it is! canny mind what i payed for the waterpump wasnt too expensive

im using Castrol EPX, not had a shot of the car with it in yet but it came highly recomended when i looked into it, cheap too!

nope more than one, i ripped one clean out the gearbox as well as ripping the exhaust manifold off and bursting the flexi on the cat....... i just change the lower one once a year or so now with a genuine one for the sake of £30

yeah do waterpump 100% on this engine, or else it will leak coolant, mine eventually seazed snappin cambelt.

LOL as title ive got a 1.9 DCi laguna intercooler for the dci god knows if it will even fit without serious modification lol so whats next, assuming injectors, possibly uprated clutch, and a map. its a dci65, how much boost does the standard turbo run, what can it take, what are the...

tiny gains to be had monstly throttle response, dont sound that loud though compaired to some other engines

would be a good torque monster for effortlessly driving quick but wont be that fast! would much rather do a 2.0 16v conversion but at the end of the day that costs a fair bit to do, but by the sounds of it this wont be too cheap either even if you are getting the engine cheap!

standard set up is awesome, well sorry standard dampers with eibach springs, i just want it to sit a tiny bit lower! because its stripped it sits very nose down! but im not paying £900+ just for it to sit a tiny bit lower lol so want the best suspension i can have for under £1k really! AST is...

smash window if you have windscreen cover, £60 excess and wont loose your no claims!

connector onto the starter motor, had a look at a 1.2 16v doing this last week, was a corroded conector going onto the starter motor, i changed it for a new one and was sorted

ahh i see lol, only problem with me getting H&Rs is the fact they go so low, i cant help myself! lol!!! it will be down about 80mm before i know it and i dont want to go down that route lol really interested in bilstein B14 now looking for some views and images of how they sit. cheers

KW V1s are cheaper than both too i beleive? any other votes for them for fast road? just dont want to spend the cash on something to stiff thats worse than standard on your average UK road! as the car is only used for hard fast driving!

diesel p**n.....

sorry to hear it mate but at the end of the day its only a car! ull have plenty more in your life, you only get one chance at life!

as title really? fast road use, dont want something to stiff thats gong to ruin the handling! Bilstein are over £150 cheaper! but dont mind paying for H&Rs if they are better!

just make sure their tight! lol

new tyres? are they different to the ones you replaced john @ progrip was telling me he had a guy with a civic type R who had just had new tyres and springs fitted and then had lazer alignment done, and was complianing about it pulling, got it back up on the ramps and it was spot on but still...

i wouldnt be paying anything over £200 and id want genuine parts for that, its easy on the wee single cam 1.2's!!

ill inspect mine on friday.

lol my 1.2 done this and 1 of my 172 ones were loose

sold it to a mate im sure lol cant remember! and fitting a standard one felt just as nice and smooth but without the vibration!
