Front: Brembo MAX front disks (and sell your standard disks if they are new like you say) EBC Green Stuff pads Rear: Standard Disks (come with bearings already fitted, dont bother with uprated) EBC GreenStuff pads (low brake dust make it worth while over genuine, no point from a performance...

its just the tyres i was scared of mine on my 1.2 in the wet lol, i know gibson172 and jock_clio both had a shot of the wheels too and felt the same!

chip or remap will give 2-3bhp, on a modded engine it will make more use of ur mods and the above mods will give 10bhp MAX

lol Kumho Ditch Finders i used to call them when i had a set on my turinis. they were the worst wet tyres ive ever used in my life!! wernt to bad in the dry but not brilliant!

Both my rear dampers are leaking on my 172 (one leaking a bit more than the other!) so need to replace them this week, but was wondering if the 172 cup rear dampers were uprated over the standard 172 ones (i know the fronts are but wasnt sure if they changed the rears or just stuck with the same...

full exhaust inc manifold, filter and remap (or chip) will gain you 5-10bhp max! if that!

If thats 4.5k id be seriously worryed about your brakes! ive done nearly twice that before with green stuff pads and very heavy use and not had a single bit of a lip!

bedding in brakes hard wont do any harm if done properly, just dont go from 80mph to 0 and keep the brakes pressed!

Blueprinting is when you build an engine to a certain specification, meaning everything is within a set tollerance, means everything runs smoother and can give a bit more power. for example if your flywheel or crankshaft is slightly heavyer at one side it causes vibration and can wear parts...

the huge lip round the rim...

if you dont actually have the car yet and want cheap insurance then tbh you would be better just buying a 1.4 16v or 1.6 16v! or a DCI 80

Renault do a cambelt kit for it, get that but also do the water pump as they start to leak if not changed!

im actually considering sticking a dynamique one on mine as im fed up of the rubber grip bits coming apart!

i use green stuff on my cars and do 5 or 6 30 to 10mph runs then maby another 5 80-10/20mph runs to bed them in. just keep moving when doing it dont do 30-0mph hard stops or 80-0mph stops

lol the dealer would probably have called it a trophy!

sure someone said to me its not good for the handbrake cable either? that might be bullshit tho!

as far as i know yes it will, remember you'll need the code for it

your front disks looks shagged.

lol where did you buy it from?

was he "smoking" range rover sports down the street again?

does it have a spare wheel well under the boot? if it does its a 172 if it doesnt its a 182

brake pedal switch as bmh.01 said, just turn it on and off again and it'll be fine! seems to be worse when its cold?

if it doesnt have the twin tail pipes its a 172 also dont think 182's started till 2004? possibly late 2003 53 plate?

1.4 and 1.6 are both very similar so you could still go down that route and use the 1.6 bottom end. not sure if the heads are any/much different? if you were going for a 1.6 bottom end you could get it blueprinted before it went on, that would be nice!

as said the 1.6 isnt a torque monster and the 1.4 doesnt have much power! the actual internals are slightly different, its not just the same engine with a turbo bolted on, but since it runs at a really low boost the d4f would be fine with it i would think. not sure if its just a case of...

when i saw the aberdeen lot turn up at the RR day i shot outside to look at ali's vee! lol my mate had never saw one in real life and just said "oh my f**king god!" he didnt realise it was really that wide in real life!!

i was in 5th instead of 4th but it still fuking pulled lol, once i got the revs up your car stoped increasing the gap but i couldnt get any closer lol, i was well impressed with it, so was my mate. i loved big ians 106, ill get the vids up when i get a new cable it went really well for what it...

downstream lambda fires on the emmisions light, not sure on an upstream one as ive never had one go. EDIT: infact its a mk1 172 it only has 1 lambda doesnt it?

i was VERY impressed with the rollers, everyone was pretty much bang on!!
