Ive topped my car up once since i did a full change 1000 miles ago, it dropped a 10th on the guage

If i were you id get a mk1 and save a bit of $ to put towards the extra insurance difference of a VTS

no mate, try quotes from elephant, renault insurance, HIC and CIS they generally seem to be the best

the mk1s are actaully faster aswell :D specially the ones with the ally bonnet

if you can stretch to 8.5k for the car then you could get a mk2 172 !! the insurance is good and MPG is probably the best for a hot hatch !! how old are you ? NCB ?

mk1 172 can be had for under 8k and they are a different class to a saxo, unless you are craggy you wont stand much of a chance mod for mod againt a 172 [Edited by cliosportcraig on 30 April 2004 at 12:46pm]

TBH the saxo is gonna be newer with less miles, yes they are a LOT more common BUT they respond better to simple mods and will surprise a few 16vs !! If it was me i would buy a 16v purely because saxos are sooooo common if they werent then VTS all the way

its most likely the tappets, your probably using an oil which is too thick and isnt lubeing the cam followers fast enough, does the sound go when its warm ?

lol mike you cant count man ;) and he only needs 2 anyway but mate dont use 5mm !! they WILL RUB, get some 3mm ones

yes get 3 rather than 5, the 5 will make them a 35 offset which rubs !! so get 3 mm get 3 mm get 3 mm get 3 mm

new speedo cable, new dials ?

they are a funny wheel, they rubbed my rear caliper and i needed 8mm spacers and theres room for a fag paper between them now. if you get 3mm spacers and try it, thats all you can do !!

god im confused IF YOU NEED 37 then YES they are the right ones, i thought that the standard offset was 48 ?? if peeps with 172s are saying 37 then they are right and need 3mm spacers !!

if they only do ET 40 and ET 35 in the plats then they have sent the right ones and youll need some small spacers on the back, say 3mm !!

prolly better getting a donor CAR rather than engine as a few other components are needed, search for BRUNs posts !!

for some reason i only needed spacers on the back and not the front

it would push them out 3mm remember these offsets are negative

if the offset of your car is 48 and the wheels are 40 then they should stick out rather than in !! strange, maybe its the design of the wheels ? or they sent the wrong ens ? does it have ET40 stamped in them ?

yeah ive got toora plat 8s in a 40 offset too, they might be the closest offset for your car, i dont personally know !! but just put some 5mm spacers on the rear and see

if you could chip it to do 60 in second it could have an impressive 0-60 !!

you can fit phase 2 bump strips on !! you need the actual strips and the clips as the clips are different too !! you can either get these from a scrapyard or someone on here if you want ive got a set of phase 1 strips and clips if u want em

standard 172 offset is 48 IIRC youll probably need 5mm or more spacers to take the wheels away from the caliper !!

yeah i need one !! plate would look gooood

comes up the same on the dialogys

peel them off slowly, doesnt matter if they dont stick aswell as they are inside !!

lol more octane = less likely to r****d at high pressure, 16v was made to run on 95 the RON has nout to do with performance, the extra cleaning things in it may help a little, if you can afford it do it, if not dont worry

mine are 20% visibilty hrhr !! oh well

Ive seen brand new mercs with light blue tints all over, wheres the law stand on them ?

yer the internal ones will
