Says the man who loves to rub dood juice all over his...

First weekend in what feels like a lifetime where I've been able to pay the car some external attention, caressing those gentle curves of a 172 on a fine sunny autumn afternoon :) Stopped on the way back to check up on a local bird... She just had to come over for a...

Nope plus it's highly dangerous. Just buy a cheap set of springs, should be able to buy for under £100 easily.

That's the thing, it handles ok but then I've got used to it like this. I think when the H&R's were originally fitted IainC had Mark Fish set the car as low as possible. Like yourself I'm not fussed about looks but if it's set up "technically" wrong I wanna know about it.

I personally think it's a fraction too low at the front, it looks too wedge like and the splitter often contacts the ground on some corners!! Couple of turns on the front uprights or leave as is?

That's the whole point, you don't need too :D

Cordless Impact wrench should do the trick.

I tried the above method and broke a load of tools. As already suggested get hold of an impact wrench if you can.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not a nice thing to wake up to his morning !

All PH2 shape racers with UK homologation started life as PH1's This one is an exception as it was built by West Surrey Racing and raced in the BTC by Rob Collard.

Look what you made happen :)

Mark Fish set mine up so not sure what settings he chose. Here's a pic anyhow:

I cunningly use my umbrella to prop mine up in times of need. A spare wheel fits but you cant keep it secure very well :(

No. Cup seats are plain, no pattern.

You need to come to some meets. Such a sweet car with oodles of potential, shame to hide it away mate!

Common problem, It'll fall off next week. Best replace it with something else as soon as you can. *edit* It might also be due to the sound leaking through all the panel gaps.

I've just spent a small fortune putting fully legal plates back on my Mar 01 PH-1 :(

It's rather petty but at least is stops all the muppets. Does this now mean the price tag of personalised plates will come down?

Would look better colour coded with the housewife edition blanking plates.

Jason was asked if he could drive the car without racing gear and he said "sure, no problem"

It's all about the camber and castor angle on height adjustables. In reality you are never going to get the best from any set of coilovers unless you change them for each application i.e fast road / individual circuit and so on. Probably the best and the worst mod if you think about it. And...

I'm screwed next year then as my plates came from Ireland lol

you after some still fletch?

No cage. Get it fitted boys or i'm comming up!

Top Gear have the car this week, wonder if Clarkson will be the next one to be baked lol Flame grilled Stig anyone?

Why? It's billed as a road car. Do you wear a helmet, gloves and nomex suit in your road car? Jason even made that comment himself.

I think he means Halfrauds to be honest...

Should of bought a "normal" car. You don't buy a Renault Sport Clio to do 50 mpg!

Black 172 Salisbury, A36 Tesco Roundabout this afternoon around 12:30. I know this car but cant think who's it is. Either Chappers or xzibit ??

Ha ha look at everyone jumping to the wrong conclusions... Enjoy, I had a 2.0 as soon as I passed my test, I never once came close to killing myself.
