Very tidy car. :approve: It's weird how the standard exhaust just doesn't look right to me any more, i'm so used to seeing the bumper cut outs filled with aftermarket tips.

Nice little collection there, all of them look spot on. :approve: But tell the Polo driver, if you're going to have a car mustache.....do it properly! ;)

That's fair enough mate we're all different, i'm just not as a fan of sticker bombing that's all. :)

The ph1 with the sticker bombed bumper is a sin. :S

Yep common fault, new part from Renault (£50ish) and 5 mins with a screw driver & socket set will sort it.

Ooooohhhhh that is bloody nice. Suddenly my 172 seems......well......a bit sh*t. :dapprove:

Fitted new tie rods & track rod ends, well when I say fitted the garage did it, b*llocks to getting filthy and sweaty under a car on a day like this. Handles like it's on rails now. :approve:

Halfords had most of those grades of paper when I went the other day and they're quite cheap aswell, maybe your branch had ran out of some?

Looking the part now mate. :cool: When will the bowling ball wheels be ready to go on?

Indeed.

I like the Gordini stripe one Knuckles, reflective floor is reflective.

I've got this at the moment, turn the key and 'click' nothing, all the dash lights flash aswell. It's the starter motor solenoid, mine does start but you need to turn the ignition on and leave it for 30 secs.

Jesus it gets worse!!

I was actually referring to our feline friend, but having a car that's a clunge magnet is not a bad thing either. :cool:

I like how the bloke just didn't give a sh*t about the truck driver, just his car lol. The second vid sh*t me right up! :eek:

After seeing Aarons photos i've changed my mind about purple wheels, red wheels looks the dogs b*llocks on a RB. :approve:

That's very nice mate, proper pussy magnet. ;)

...and the green wheels......and white bumper trim......and the exhaust that sticks out too far, then it'd be alright.

Nice car mate, but i don't get it, is it meant to be 3D or something? :o (sorry)

Wow that is immaculate mate it's a credit to you, looks like a monster aswell. But 6 hours? :S I couldn't be arsed with that, I get bored after 10 minutes. :o

You'd be surprised tbh mate, there are alot of threads that ask the same questions as you have, just passed their test, got their first car and they're really excited about getting out there and belting about, and they get proper pissed off when they're told the realities of modding a 1.2 and...

Fair play to you Turvey, you've asked our advice, we've given you some and you've listened to it, so many get the right arse when they're told it's not a good idea to mod a slow car when you've just passed your test. Bide your time, get a few years driving experience, a few years NCB, save...

There are a few things cosmetically you can do to it to make it look a little nicer without increasing your insurance, colour code the black plastics, get the alloys & badges painted a different colour etc. You live in Aylesbury, I can't believe you're paying that much on insurance, it's not...

Sounds interesting, get a Clio media thread up once you've got it in order, or maybe a project thread if you're planning on modding it, i'm sure a JDM 172 thread would get some interest. lol I really can't imagine a 172 driving about Japan surrounded by boosted ricers. :cool:

I was just about to say that'll be Knuckles, but i'm guessing you spot yourself near enough everyday?

Tbh if you hit oil/grease at 60 on a 60 road and it starts to let go, then you touch the brakes, the end result would pretty much end up like your pictures.

Is he any relation to Heinrich?

According to him he was diving in a straight line at a normal speed, hit some oil, it got all squirmy on him, he touched the brakes, totally lost control and binned it. There's no reason not to believe him tbh, he's young and made a mistake, it happens.

Well at least you now know that going anywhere near the brakes is the last thing you do when aquaplaning, just lift off the throttle and concentrate on keeping the thing in a straight line. You learn by your mistakes, we've all made them mate.

Because HULK SMASH!!!!
