So I’m still talking past tense winding back about 3/4 months here...
I’d like to get all the stuff out of the way now so I can keep bringing updates from present time and I document it a lot better[emoji23]
What I’ve done to my dCi so far
-172 bumpers, skirts, wings
-Lowering on Apex 40mm...
The 1.4 engines are shite, they sound like typewriters and they usually kill themselves before 200k. My mate had a 1.4 Arosa on NOS and it lasted about 30 seconds, then again he kills cars like it’s a full time job[emoji23][emoji23]

Finding and fixing boost leaks...
I found that my cooler had a massive hole in it from a stone... so I set out to repair the massive mess with epoxy putty
Pic of said bullethole
The epoxy sort of did it’s job but looks horrendous...
The cooler is bent from a previous owner and mangled...
Can’t have been you then hahaha!
Yeah I much prefer it on here mate, there’s no idiots on here whereas Facebook is full of them![emoji23][emoji23]

I didn’t see you in Wakefield on Saturday did I?
Was near Sainsbury’s, I just noticed a sports grille and 172 wheels. I was in the Monaco

I used my dCi 100 stubs on the 182 beam. But yeah you have to use 100 sensors on a rear beam conversion, i have a dCi 100 team beam here as I’m breaking a 100. I don’t have a drivers side stub as I sold that haha. But 172 stubs should work with 100 sensors

Yeah I’ve swapped the standard one for a 182 one as my got bent (check my thread[emoji24][emoji23]) I may try and slap cruise control on as it does a hell of a lot of miles!

I’ve got 172 Apex springs but thought about full conversion. Only thing is that dCi 100 is a JR5 box so would have to be full custom shaft (or just sleeved with CDS) and the hub splines are 23 like the V6 instead of 21 splines like a 1*2.
I’ve thought about mating my hub flange with sport hub...
Thought it was a cup spoiler[emoji23][emoji23]
I’ve seen a few but 4 of them were at Blyton last year[emoji23] My mate has a 200 in LY and he’s from Ossett, 18 plate he got it the other day

So after 240k of fairly faultless miles I decided I wanted to stop spending loads of money on my daily...
So I bought another dCi 100 purely for parts for the humongous sum of £150[emoji23][emoji23] Unfortunately the cambelt had gone... but the car paid for itself after I sold the interior...
Albi 197 and a LY 200 spotted Wakefield.
197 was near thrones park
200 was on the A61 and had a massive spoiler. Looked naughty!

Just jack up both sides, drop the top mount off and stand on the lower arm to take the ARB pressure off. Hopefully it’s not difficult difficult lemon difficult

I'd say West and South Yorkshire tbh.
Told you I never get spotted, been 3 weeks of driving the 172 and I've seen 2 RS Clio's and they're both not on here... Doesn't sound so bad but I drive a dCi rep the rest of the time and still don't get spotted in that fucker either ahahahaha
