It won't shear. Hammer a lon screwdriver through it so it comes out the other side then use that as a lever. I've done it a good few times and never had any issue. I'd be concerned if the filter was to shear..

As above. I need the belts done: Timing belt Dephaser Auxiliary And all that goes with it. SWR have quoted £620 for the work. Anywhere as good or does anyone have any other suggestions? SWR won't knock a penny off so that's the price

I find it crazy that you just completed the job without getting the filter off. Just hammer a thin crew driver through the thing and lever it off. Dead easy. Anyway as said you won't loose too much, will maybe need a small top up after its done

Hello folks Looking to get some 195 45 16 tyres for the 172, only need 2 for now. Cheapest seems to be Camskill however they charge for delivery. I believe including delivery they are about £96 for Toyo t1rs in this size. Anyone got any discount codes for anywhere to get them cheaper elsewhere...

I recently bought this little car for peanuts. No pictures yet but they will follow when I get some half decent ones. My plan is just to use the car, I love the colour and its already coming up nicely. I believe the car has been through the forum so someone may see the reg and post in the...

What colour is that? Can't be bothered to read all the comments lol. Never seen a 225 in that colour before

Looks awesome mate:) glad you went for it

Thanks mate. I'll try repairing the little bracket too. Any idea how much a new one is likely to be?

Lovely engine bay by the way

It's more I want to sand it back a re paint it. Slightly corroded and doesn't look too nice..

You got it in one mate! What's involved? Ie what's the tricky part removing it?

Anyone know what the cover/piece of metal is towards the bulkhead next to the battery? I'm wanting to replace the one in my 172 as its damaged.

I like to live dangerously

No dick pics this time mate, my missus caught me last time

Good effort mate. It looks a stunner that flamer. Really is lovely but as you say if a car comes up that you just want then go for it, you'll regret it if you don't. Do you mind me asking what it is?

You selling that flamer? I seen you saying you were thinking about changing already!!

Pm me if you want Danny. Come see it and take it off my hands. Has track tyres on too aswell as a spare set of road tyres. 10 months mot

Lol I know mate. I couldn't have had yours with the modifications though. Sadly couldn't afford the insurance so had to go standard!!

As stated just bought a nice 172 Monaco for cheap. I reckon it needs the belts doing..the dephaser is rattling. Receipt from 2012 for the belts. Just thinking I may just get rid of it, was blinded by the cheap price. Is there any point spending £600 on getting the belts done when that's what the...

Those seats are sexy as fook

The only thing I would say is that the standard 172 wheels are quite heavy. If it were me I'd be finding a set of cheap 15 inch wheels. Tyres will be cheaper too. Looking good all the same

He bought the car that day then took it out on track?!? How did he flip it anyway?

Who cares about the money/car. I'd be more concerned about injuring/killing myself! Cage is a definite must on track

Might be worth changing the gearbox oil. Royal purple (I think it's called) is great in BM gearboxes, will make a huge difference and won't cost too much

Details?

Cheers matelooking for one that's ready to go though. Got a couple lined up between 1 and 2k

Lol Link? Sounds like a death trap!

I'll be there watching. Planning on getting a track clio but I doubt I'll be out this year

New rears make a world of difference. Honestly couldn't believe how much it improved the rear end.

You lucky b*****d. I'd be going for the M3 over the mercs. Everyday of the week.
