Yep, u'll need new head gasket. The valves will need grinding in to seat them. Not a massively hard job to do. We did 1 2 weeks ago and it cost about 300 all in including changing plugs and oil etc. (Normal service)
Had da put a new engine in it when she blew the oil out through the filter seal. Then everytime I got her right somethin seemed da go wrong! I'd still buy another 1 tho. But fancy a 330CI Sport for a while!
I replaced the magnex b/back on my 172 with a full system, then stuck the magnex on my DCI100 Clio and let her hang below the bumper. Looked awesome! :D Go for it! Just cos it aint a 2.0l doesnt mean ya can't make her look good!
The rear lights are needed to make the car. Without them it looks s**t! The owner is toying with the idea of getting the front lights smoked to add a bit of contrast. Imo the car looks crap in photo's, but stunning in the metal!
Could be as I have a magnex cat back with Janspeed. But def sounded like it was in the gearbox! Car's up forsale atm so hopefully she'll be fine till she's sold!
Anyone done this before and written a guide? I've a rough idea how to but would be better with a bit of guidance!
Also, anyone know the weight of a 172 box?
Thanks,
Stuart
