you will need original top mounts. The spring cups on the fronts look a little odd, not sure they're the right way up. Looks like eveyrthing's there though

august :D I appear to have ripped it apart already though

QFT OZ F1's from the mk1 are going straight onto the 172, Parada's and all ;)

They're not bad at all really. better than bilsteins, especially for the money

got them on the volvo. Like driving on ice in the wet.

I've run both Parada spec2 and T1R, they're fine. People with an issue in the wet should probably slow down when it rains. If you still think they're bad, try some AUTOGRIP tyres. they're bad. It's all relative really. I know T1R's wont grip as well in the wet, but they're very predictable and...

exhausts grow when they get hot. It could be lightly touching a sheild when it's cold, but expanding enough to move away when hot

A Prospeed would be a good call actually Charlie will do you whatever you like. Peashooter exactly how you want it

tyres too narrow for the wheels? it sounds like you have a very stiff setup, and the only movement anywhere is in the tyres. Certainly looks like the tyres are rolling over a lot

there is a small pin hole next to the oval breather. Put a small screw in it

oh and just so you know.......strike one ;)

well if you'd waited I'd have told you the same. I even know what the replacements are ;) I'm hoping to have them in the next 36/48 hours

dont usually get trouble with heat at idle unless there's too much ignition r****d. I did exactly that on mine just after putting my bodies on the mk1, and promptly got stuck on the north circular. Touch more advance, touch less static throttle, safe and steady 95deg at all time

any or all of the mounts. Could well be the long stud on the gearbox mount has come loose too

there's 1 litre between min and max on the dipstick. Do you know when it was last changed?

we sell 1 litre top ups of ELF which is what Renault recommend. We also sell 5 Litre and oil and filter kits. Have a look in our section ;)

I know that, but thats my point. Most dont know the rules, and insurance do take advantage of that. Assessors may be generally ok, but loss adjusters tend to be pretty militant

bit of a puff on the limiter isn't too much to worry about. usually have fuel and ignition cut limiters set at different points

was it mapped with the wideband stuck up the tailpipe, but still with the cat fitted? This will make a very big difference, and it's a mistake I've seen numerous times. Did they do AFR readings at the RR day? happy to take a look for you if you wanted to come over at some point. Regardless of...

I understand it pretty well, though not worked in it directly. My stepdad was a broker for about 9 years, so he's always had me wise to the knowing what you're entitled to thing too. I know where you're coming from, what I meant was, any first offer will be justified by "it's already a cat C"...

look at your heatshields, they're terrible for tearing round the bolts. There's also one spot where most aftermarket exhaust get pretty close to the sheilds and it needs bending out a little

done the lambda sensor yet you bumbling old fool?

but market value on a cat c is less

Can do different tailpipes on the piper btw, I think there's 7 to choose from, and the 182 one we had done last week was different again. There's a slight cost difference on some of the different options

sounds like bullshit, they'd never pay out as much on it the second time anyway, the car is worth less as a cat c, and they know it well.

old pic from a quick search, but this is the piper recessed

it would look broken

you do have to cut the bumper for the piper 172 system if you dont have a stealth. You get a 182 trim included with it though so it looks very tidy Stealth version doesn't involve cutting, obviously ;)

discounted the piper stealth then?

the one in that ph1 looks shorter and wider than the one i use
