It was easier to cut it off . The back box and centre pipe had just dropped to bits , the centre section wasn't even that old as it has been replaced under warranty about 12 months previous .

Yeah very loud . Like a chaved up saxo , lol . Luckily i had a knife in my car as mine was banging about on the ground . I had to cut the rubber off .

Hard to tell from the pics tbh . Granted there is alot of surface rust , but its what the condition is like inside . My 172 exhaust looked pretty similar to yours on the outside , then the bugger fell off in B+Q car park on 30k miles .

Like big lee says . The eezi bleed kit recommends you use 20psi . If you want to use 10 psi it will be fine .

Can you not install some different catridges and see if that works ? Or uninstall / reinstall the driver or maybe update the driver ? Try wiping the chip on the cartridge .

Never tried the f1's but i've seen people post that they are good . I had toyo proxies T1-R's and T1-S's on my 172 , they were ok in the dry but absolute shite in the wet . The michelin exaltos on my 182 are head and shoulders above the toyos in terms of grip in the wet and dry imo .

They are powdercoated when they are new .

I'd say yes , thats if you don't want a fluffy strut brace .

Weird that . Once the lacquer has gone off i wouldn't think the heat would affect it . You could get it powdercoated i guess , the heat should effect that .

Did you lacquer it after you sprayed it ?

Re: f**king insurance! Mine goes up every year . I just ring round , get a better quote then ring my insurance company which is Adrian Flux and they always beat the quote . It happens every bloody year which is pretty annoying especially if i haven't made a claim . Last year my renewal actually...

^^^ Thats where i got mine from .

14mm but you can get away with 16mm if you use a jubilee clip .

You want 70mm ID not 75mm .

The apollo's only a universal filter . I had one on my 182 and it lost power and the 5k kick , the engine felt strangled . Can't comment on how it would affect the 197 but imo its a very expensive piece of crap .

Supposed to be the dogs dangly bits . https://www.bethere.co.uk/ Edit : Oops sorry , just read it's 12 months .

I have these leds in my sidelights . They match the xenons perfectly . http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u501fw-white-ultra-bright-frosted-bulb-brighter-p-866.html

It'll only wipe if there is water on the windscreen . If its set to wipe fast as the rain gets heavier and your driving the wiping speeds up . The loud buzzing is a little fan in the interior light . Its something to do with the cliamte control . It seems a pretty common fault and can be...

Dental floss for the badge , any sticky residue wd40 .

Try Meguiars scratch X or Autoglym super resin polish .

The auto wipers work by pulling the stalk down to postion 1 , then on the stalk there is a selector ring . Turn it away from you speeds up the wiping , towards you slows it down . Can't say what serv light problem is . You need to take it back to the dealer and get them to sort out whatever is...

You could try epsons support . http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ProductHome.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=zbff+oTjl0GS5KfSDt9a3c7Hoxe43sYs

A quick wet sand with 800 grit wet and dry for the new paint to key to should be fine . Then a few coats of colour and 3 coats of lacquer . You could primer it , but as long as you only lightly wet sand you shouldn't need to .

You won't find a wax that lasts longer than Collinite 476 or even Collinite 845 insulator wax imo . http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/wax/collinite-no-476s/p_207.html http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/collinite-no-845-insulator-wax/prod_208.html

I've made a circular plate with a 70mm hole through , i just haven't got round to putting it all together yet .

^^^ The actual back of the enclosure is almost closed as thats where the back of the cone filter is and the diameter isn't much less than the actual diameter of the enclosure. So it's getting most of the air from the 2 air feeds .

Not sure about the rip speed kit . Bmc do one that people recommend .Like the one here from demon tweeks . They are universal .Halfords sell Bmc ones that have a plastic enclosure instead of the carbon so they are cheaper ...

Personally i change the brake fluid every 12 months .I usually use castrol response , but any dot 4 will do . Like you say . Once you've changed the hoses you will need to bleed the system to get out the air . Do it with the engine off and never drain the whole system . It takes 1 litre ...

Here's one i made for my k+n cone filter . It uses both the original air feeds , its closed at the front , it will be at the back when i can be bothered , lol . It definitely doesn't lose power , sounds sweet when you boot it ;) . But i'm pretty sure it's contributed to my poor mpg ,the k+n...
