sounds like my dad...i know when i tell him later there will be no sympathy

yeah...oh well at least i am not dead....lol...one day i will have a clean engine bay

am thinking alot like this now...i was gonna be doing the engine bay out soon with painted parts...polished bits etc....now i dunno if its worth the hassle and the amount of hair i will pull out

indeed.....am so annoied...don't know what to do with myself now.... r-jay i think those valver bays are harder to clean to..no room to get anywhere..lol

i am so annoied......i think the bonnet mount is bent to....i think i may decide to get it sprayed sooner than i thought now....

i gave up in the end.....see this thread mate http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1361703#post1361703

well i started the day off by thinking i would give my engine bay a good clean up..... so i went to halfrauds got the products and come home....then set to work i thought it would be easier to take the bonnet off to work on the bay so set about doing this....and what happens..the bonnet...

obviously no more tips...lol had to get halfrauds own stuff as they didn't sell the ag stuff..just to clarify spray on degreaser... add water wipe off and then treat to rubber / vinyl care

as i have a day to do nothing tomorrow i think i am gonna get the bonnet off and give the engine a really good clean then..have to get some cleaner in the morning then will set upon it.. any tips then?

dunno if you have had the chance yet but how does the valver compare to the astra..i know the valver will walk all over it but by how much...my mates just got an sri see....

cheers mate..once the strobes under the bonnet i may leave it there...maybe some underneath the car to...ooohhh maybe a big spoiler..hang on i think i am onto something here.....

cool thought that was the case...how do i change the base timing then and is it really vital. some ass keeps out bidding me on the decat on ebay..lunner special is looking promising..lol tucks don't appoligies to tom for the 2ltr comment...thats were the real power is at...lol no pony trekers...

think it looks really nice that.......keep the standard mirrors and bumpers i think.....keep it subtle....lovely base for a turbo project there i reckon

if you give it til this afternoon mate you will probably have a list of places you can go to get it worked on.....lots of people with the knowledge on here..as said above there is a buyers guide for the 172 in evo this month otherwise its the usual stuff i think..good choice on the mark 1 172 by...

totally agree....nice cars but blokes jus don't look right in them.....lol don't be a pansie....stay with the 172..strip it..buckets...slam it and have more fun

yeah OE airbox with an ITG...is ment to be the best have a look at what bruns selling at the moment..i imagine that would be pritty amazing

mate i am sure this problem would only happen on the more modern cars..as i don't think the valver has these sensors although i am not 100% sure

looks very nice mate..like the astra very much to

nice oms......i am trying to get mine like that but its knowwhere near close and it hasen't been washed for over 2 weeks

hell...could of been scary

good work winston...love the look of the tungy valver...should be a good project

i agree with dan.....spend some money..if i had the slightest chance of getting a v i would be in there like a shot

i am like a child now.....i so want my bits and bobs so i can fit them and start cleaning

if you were looking for a good base hybrid you could do no wrong looking at tom16v's....in the for sale section...lovely motor

sounds good...looks lovely...

love it mate...think it looks really nice....just different

was gonna comment on how low it was...lol..its decked

cheers mike..but as i have never looked inside an engine before can someone tell me which of those bits there are the ones i need... cheers brun will look into that also any part numbers would be great cheers

funny that...i already have a crease...its getting sorted though...may pass on that case though
