on the mark one i undo the 2 subframe bolts and brace bar to the inner arch, drops the subframe down enough to lever it out (with the engine jacked up as you describe as well)

kittens piss me off, click....ha....click click...haha.....click click click click click...mwuhahahahhahaha

what...what is this concept? is it some kind of wizardry? do you have to go to Nepal to learn how it is done? ;)

welcome

welcome :) not far from me

Welcome, your not far from my parents in Appleton :)

My 172 was lowered on awful apex springs and had an 'exhaust' on it, i returned it to standard and for use as my daily car its much much better in this trim than 'modded' although i still have the 'look at me' air filter on it but i'm just too tight to fork out for an o/e airbox ;)

whats the reasoning behind a 1.2 then? if your after a cheap runabout to get you back and forth to uni on a budget etc, why not just buy an old 106 diesel or something for few hundred, keep the rest of the cash in the bank ready for when you want something nicer and faster in the future? just my...

search is your friend, but seems reasonable to me for mixed driving on slowish roads

back to basics then, check for fuel and spark

hi miles doesn't really put me off, i wouldn't mind a low mileage motor but tbh i never have had one, all my cars have been near to 100k and I've broken that barrier with them or they have been way over it! only exception was a 1.25 zetec fezza i had, S plate, 67k and the single worst car i...

welcome and nice motor, love phase 1's :) not overly keen on the wheels though!

kicked the exhaust several times in anger as the darn thing wont stop vibrating on something didn't sort it, so resigned myself to having to jack her up for a look see tonight when I get in from work :(

lovely job chap :)

Common as muck now the old boosted clios, time to up the ante and twin-charge :)

Looked standard full fat with tinted windows, clean example, was heading towards A6 turn at the Hurt Arms Pub

looks lovely! now get those top engine mount bracket and airbox bolts painted up

I use a walbro 255lph pump in the mark 1 sender setup, works fine, just a little mod to the casing of the sender and solder the wires and done :-)

172 - nowt really, oil and filter and few other little niggly bits turbo - been a reasonable quiet year really, but since I bought it.......hate to think, 15k inc the car maybe?

:) I hate my phase 1, its pants ;)

that's the most utterly pointless load of tosh I think I've ever had the displeasure of seeing, that is not in anyway a car anymore

me? nope! never owned a coupe!lol!

cheers dave, me too! hence i still have the damn thing! Keiran, good to catch up mate this eve and the meggies a beauty in more powerful trim, loves it! Neil, i shall never never let it go! mk 1 till i die.....or more specifically, my mk 1 till i die! :)

driven it to work and not got any boost due to the rain = wheelspin conundrum! :)

the car has always been on the same/similar boost, 16psi peak, 14psi held and its pumped out rolling road results varying considerably from 253 to 285 and it ran the 12.3 at same boost. so I take the RR results with a pinch of salt if i'm honest :)

come over to Diddy's chippy in woodhouse tonight mate, i'll be there at about 6pm with Dan and big Ron :)

ah right, very interesting! will see what happens come renewal in November then :)

Right and that's it! Cars been running a dream for a while now, did Blyton park last month and it ran faultlessly all day bar boiling the brake fluid a lot! pulled 258bhp on the rollers on the same day, literally drove off track and onto the RR, so car was a tad warm and I think its an...
