gearbox.

condensation?

she did well! very lucky.

lol they couldnt beatr my dads renewal, all of £56 for the year!!

I like that alot!

Yes, But. With the gasses trying to work against the airflow along the side of the car its actually going to be more of a hinderance than a back box on the car.

lol, explain how it gains power. it doesnt blend into the slipstream if thats what your thinking.

when will they stop using the shitty log manifolds? and why is there a side exit exhaust? that'll be loosing more than it gains.

I do porting and polishing, im in somerset though.

Thats the best way to run in a new engine, hard, giving it lots of load, but not lots of revs, so full acceleration in 2nd 3rd 4th, to bed the rings in nicely. They also seem to last longer if they are given a hard run in.

or headwork

put on the original airbox and alloys.

put a jack on the bar to push them through.

only use a stand if your stripping and rebuilding. And yes its fine to work on the engine with it just on the hoist, just lower it to the ground ideally, as at the end of the day its only a jack!

not really, just get the proper ones.

owned

you only need to skim the head if its warped. and yes i would be driving.

well i'll do it for £160 if you cover my traveling costs from somerset

i was parked up by the rocks just beside pizza hut. You hit the limiter beside me!

It could get more power by using a tubular manifold, its using a shitty log manifold.

nope 172's never had one.

I prefer closed ones as they'll come out piss easy, as they havent been subjected to 10odd years of water and dirt.

Saw you drive past as i had just pulled onto my drive, hence all the cars slowing down!

i did my 1st one in 20 mins. but with valver they're most likely siezed.

ah i mis understood what you wrote, i read it as they were making complete contact with the disc.

PM Chris H on www.retro-renault.com he is in glasgow but is highly recommended.

Glad my 172mk1 isnt the only one with a laguna splitter

if its braking fine then yes its ok Did it pull to one side at all? i the pads are contacting the disc ok then youve nothing to worry about
