    Rear Brake Setup Otpions

    The photos on the website look like front discs but mabe it's just a generic photo, I would phone or email them to find out if ABS rings are already fitted.

    Hi. Just bought a 172 cup, very impressed but a few questions.

    tapping noise is likely to be the wrong oil not lubing the valve gear and tappets properly or maybe the oil has not been changed for sometime. Get some decent Fully synthetic 5/40 in it. As for the mystery fluid bottle, the coolant and power steering are under the passenger side of the...

    Black build up on outside of engine.

    More like a leaking inlet manifold gasket or the fixing screws are loose.

    Strange handling on long sweeping corners...

    Maybe you are going too fast round the corners!

    Spacers - Help

    I would use spacers on the back axle but not on the front. I really think it's a bad idea on any car unless you are correcting an ET gap.

    Squeeky breaks

    Exactly the same brakes as mine but I have no squeal. Fred at BTM says loose the shims and ensure the pads have about 1-2mm. of sloppiness.

    Spacers - Help

    Increasing the track will put a lot more strain on your suspension/wheel bearings, especially the front.

    are 172 cup springs the same as non cup 172 springs

    The OE springs make the car look high at the front and are a crashy ride. Eibachs are far more comfortable without the car leaning on corners and the car sits level but does lower it by a few mm's.

    Radiator Fan 172 Cup

    If your temp. guage says normal then I would assume the engine is about the right temperature, so it looks like the Rad sensor is faulty and just switching on and off randomly. To test it unplug the wiring plug from the rad sensor and the fan should stop running.

    Radiator Fan 172 Cup

    Yes they can stay on for a few mins after switching off when the engine is hot, but 45mins is a long time. Could be other problems which is making the water temperature too hot.

    Advice on suspenion please...

    Cheaper lowering springs are available but not all are good quality. another alternative is coilovers which cost a lot more for good uns.

    Advice on suspenion please...

    Either of the Eibachs give a better ride over the OE ones. But they don't lower the car much if thats what you are expecting.

    2500 = two thousand five hundred. Silly question though.

    What Oil?

    Ah! so too thin then.

    What Oil?

    Whats wrong with W30 oils? I'll guess that it is too thick for the de-phaser pulley.

    LoL at £80+ vat for a rubber hose on the 172!

    I got quoted for the bottom hose at Toomeys, £123 with vat, so you have a bargain. Only other alternatives are Samcos if you can buy individual hoses, or one from a breakers.

    Project £2k. Cup, for Track and Road.

    I've now fitted the Prolines, bought secondhand from a CS member, easy job but then the top mount bearings started to grind and judder when turning the steering, strange they didn't do that before, so, off they came again and new OE bearings fitted. Tried some high speed cornering but nothing...

    To strip and track: Ph2, Ph2 Cup, Ph1?

    Eibach Prolines. They dont lower the car much 10 -30mm. but are far more comfortable to ride on and stiff enough for a wet or dry track. Stiffer anti roll bar.
