i bought this to run about in while i finished my 172 "project" now im spending more on this than the 172!! lol got greenstuff pads, standard disks and new fluid for it now lol

na mate was a few years back, i posted a thread at the time but it was on the old forum not sure if you can still get them? custom made HKS filter was awesome lol

Re: got a f**k off front mount for the dci whats next?!! that suits me perfectly for motorway driving :) gearbox isnt an issue for me, my 172 box is taking 200bhp/150lbft and thats hard driving, dci hardly gets abused just want the power when i need it!

non sport box which afaik externally is identical to an RS box BUT this was on a non sport with only 3 engine mounts, not 4 like the RS has, so granted this much damage may not be caused BUT i wouldnt be taking the chance again. standard lower mount isnt that bad anyway, most of the excessive...

yeah man haha this 1s bigger!!

i cut my airbox in half, removed all the insides (its split into 2 chambers) so opened it into 1 big box, cut the hole that all the air comes in a bit bigger so it could flow more air and glued it together, fitted an HKS pannel filter and used a bigger cold air feed, it was the best setup ive...

boxes are cheap lol if it goes ill change it for a 172 one

aux belt is only a couple of quid and its simple to change nothing like the F4R i wouldnt even bother getting them to change it just do it yourself have a look in the engine bay ull see how easy it is! canny mind what i payed for the waterpump wasnt too expensive

im using Castrol EPX, not had a shot of the car with it in yet but it came highly recomended when i looked into it, cheap too!

nope more than one, i ripped one clean out the gearbox as well as ripping the exhaust manifold off and bursting the flexi on the cat....... i just change the lower one once a year or so now with a genuine one for the sake of £30

yeah do waterpump 100% on this engine, or else it will leak coolant, mine eventually seazed snappin cambelt.

LOL as title ive got a 1.9 DCi laguna intercooler for the dci god knows if it will even fit without serious modification lol so whats next, assuming injectors, possibly uprated clutch, and a map. its a dci65, how much boost does the standard turbo run, what can it take, what are the...

tiny gains to be had monstly throttle response, dont sound that loud though compaired to some other engines

would be a good torque monster for effortlessly driving quick but wont be that fast! would much rather do a 2.0 16v conversion but at the end of the day that costs a fair bit to do, but by the sounds of it this wont be too cheap either even if you are getting the engine cheap!

standard set up is awesome, well sorry standard dampers with eibach springs, i just want it to sit a tiny bit lower! because its stripped it sits very nose down! but im not paying £900+ just for it to sit a tiny bit lower lol so want the best suspension i can have for under £1k really! AST is...

smash window if you have windscreen cover, £60 excess and wont loose your no claims!

connector onto the starter motor, had a look at a 1.2 16v doing this last week, was a corroded conector going onto the starter motor, i changed it for a new one and was sorted

ahh i see lol, only problem with me getting H&Rs is the fact they go so low, i cant help myself! lol!!! it will be down about 80mm before i know it and i dont want to go down that route lol really interested in bilstein B14 now looking for some views and images of how they sit. cheers

KW V1s are cheaper than both too i beleive? any other votes for them for fast road? just dont want to spend the cash on something to stiff thats worse than standard on your average UK road! as the car is only used for hard fast driving!
