Hmm, bye bye headgasket!

just go round and check connectors everywhere.

bent rear beam, bent stub axle, either way its not going to be cheap!

oh you should. yours much better build quality! i cant really comment as i dont have much lieft in my 172 lol

you wont once youve driven one im afraid.

or buy the proper tool ;)

Thanks.

the valver engines are what i specialise in! so its the same markings on the 172's

i suspect when i locked the crank i got one of the balence holes. where is the crank TDC marker?

see this is whats worrying me! i didnt take the cams out or anything. But As it wasnt quite inline, i adjusted it back to allow the tool to fit. after 2000rpm it flies as normal. going to take it to pieces tomorrow and have another go.

its 6hrs book time. and the belts is about £150

yep lol, its 3 pipes!

yes. undo the jubilee clips and do them back up.

Just dont the cambelt on the 172, and due to not being able to do it at work i didnt have a ramp, so everything has been a bit awkward. I got the locking tool in on the crank, couldnt turn it either way. Then poped the caps out of the head and put in the locking tool, the cams were slightly...

i doubt it very much

not racing though, just driving very fast!

if your in the southwest i can do it cheap

sound like youve knocked the plug out from the coolant temp sensor. on the side of the thermostat housing the temp sensor is in there, if thats unplugged then the fan cuts in.

ah right, i was just looking at the history there.

yours is due a cambelt. so is mine :( im doing it this weekend though! :S

well if you dont look at the wheels/exhaust/suspension JUST the body kit, its probly the best job ive seen on a 'rep' lol Im still saying its shite. but. its been done well, not in a shed at home!

yea, if he trys hard enough he could do all that for under £100

and now for a serious answer. Laguna 1.8 throttle body. and inlet manifold froma 1.4. get the head ported. decent exhaust, and a filter to fit the tb.

thats the best fitting kit ive seen so far!

its not worth it mate. All they do is buggar up fuel pumps. theres no point in having one if you dont have alot of mods and the fuel pressure is too low.

iirc its 230bhp running a lower cr.

aye apex springs are good! dont let anyone tell you different. I'll fit them for £35 if your near me(somerset)
