sorry if this is a repost but never saw car control like it!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ7R_buZPSo

coiles are at a sensible height for fast road use lol just fitted the compbrake top mounts and its going for geometry this week will be on the road soon just waiting on a 2nd hand JC5 to rebuild with an LSD and my R888's!

lol what a mess, suppose i should change it! this is what you get with 20k of fast road, midnight runs with your mates!! and a snek peak of the new coils ;)

i bought my 172 15 18, insured it 3rd party F&T with 0ncb for £2500. then a year later insured it at 19 with 1yrs ncb for £1500 fully comp! now 3 years later when i pay £600 fully comp on the car would i wait that extra year if i could go back, WOULD I f**k it was worth every penny!! you...

ive only got experiance with mk2's but we have both a 1.6 16v 110bhp Dynamique and a 1.5 DCi 100 Dynamique. the 1.6 16v is faster overall when your screaming thru the revs, but around town the 100 is quicker due to all that torque and it has much less torque than the newer dci 106's which now...

my car was really well looked after and never driven that quick by the first driver i assume due to brakes being factory fitted one and factory fitted tyres at 20k, when i got it it wasnt as quick as id have thought, i put 30k of hard miles on it and now it FLYYYSSS

just go anywhere its an easy job on the 1.2 16v

assuming thats not including parts? and even at that i wouldnt bother unless he has the correct tools or the timing will be out

i had my 200bhp 172 at 18, behave yourself and you wont die lol

crashed repair cars not my bag, more hastle than they are worth in my experiance, you get straight ones mega cheap these days anyway, id rather have a straight one with a snapped cambelt or something like that.

id suspect its leaked its fluid out one of the hoses, you may want to get it sorted soon before teh pump catches fire lol. other possibility is the aux belt has gone and been lucky enough not to take the cambelt with it.

lol what an arsehole, i love videos of cars chasing bikes but thats a bit extreme getting the arse out when bikes are so close!!

i use dirty dirty disgusting diesel and pump it all out as black soot all over my back bumper lol

i bought the Dynamique interior from you back in the day for my old 1.2 16v, was mint condition hardly used i always remember that, was when people had just started putting 172 interiors into dynamiques and as usual me being me wanted to be different lol

lol

id avoid them like the plague, yes some dealers are better than otheres but the pipework and boxes they use to start with are terrible. my mate got one on his 172 at motorsport world and the exhaust its self was solid and well made but the tailpipe had gone brown with rust after about 5/6...

ive had 2 so far the first as a cheap runabout for winter when my 172 was having a few bits done, 155,000 miles, 2001 51 plate, no service history, hammered all winter from cold, handbrake turns in the snow and ended up in a ditch, sorted it, pilled another load of miles on it, and it was bullet...

i laugh at people in prius's as i fly past on the motorway at 70mpg in the dci 100 riding the torque wave lol however you are being offered a 23k car for free lol sell the R and you can always buy another or a cheap hot hatch to have fun with i havnt driven my 172 in months and drive the...

Good old K4M lol

you get good ones and bad ones my 172 made 173bhp when standard lol

got compbrake top mounts the other day, what size C spanner do i need to tighten them up?

they stripes are terrible

something wrong with yours if its spinning the insidewheel in 3rd exiting corners, i can put 160lb/ft thru the front wheels no problem in 2nd gear

pumps are ok on all engines apart from the 1.2 16v in my experiance, id leave it unless its on silly millage (well over 100k) or been run on horrible coolant or just water as the coolant lubes the pump.

using non genuine parts which are fine you can get the belt kit and pump for £100, id want 2hrs labour max for that so your talking £200 for the belt change max

id be questioning that, genuine parts cost more than that never mind labour, even using gates parts thats not leaving much for labour. for a 5 hour + job plus i doubt the aux belt has been done for that, which if snaps will take your cambelt with it! EDIT: i just read what you posted and...

what you changing oil pump for?! lol if you ment water pump which you should 100% change with cambelt then i wouldnt be paying anymore than £250 for the lot inc parts and labour infact id probably expect the drop links done for that or just a bit more! their bloddy harder than the cambelt lol...

the patern part ones are terrible and restrictive that you will get from kwik fit etc, if you want standard go for a genuine, if not then go for a ktec

i think they are awesome, specially yours mate! girly sceme for girly car haha only kidding

kevin from falkland is a top bloke, was him thats took both RR days for the club and hes always been very helpful
