Yeah, Mark and I meant to say, thanks for the loan....epic car 😂

No worries. I can't help i'm afraid, as i'm just Joe Public on the insurance front, so no trader insurance for me :(

Assuming this is insurance, I'll put it in the aptly named "insurance" section.

The phase 2 172 non cup has the same narrower track as the PH1. I know, as I swapped to 172 Cup wishbones on mine, from standard wishbones. It is a 10mm track width difference in total. As said, other than the wishbones, all the rest is the same. I know, because when I swapped the wishbones, I...

Looks great fun, good pictures and race report! :)

Oh hi! Yeah, I'm running circa 0.5bar as it's the highest that stock internals seem to be comfortable with. But yes, I am running ARP rod bolts. Ran 250bhp and 220 lb ft at RS tuning. @Dan@SJM did some destructive testing on his for research purposes :smile:

I've got to go to a family thing mate. Twin brother got engaged weekend just gone.

Afraid I'm out :(

You'll be fine at either Fred's (BTM), Mikes (Rentech) or speak to Alex (Engine Dynamics). All 3 are well known and trusted on here.

Is it a ph1 172?

There is a report button you know, helps us lowly mods no end :)

I'll be there on the Friday. Need to set up and get the car sorted ready for Saturday am.

Wheels - good shout, can't go wrong with TDs and decent tyres are much cheaper for 15s. CSS - get yourself along bud, will be a great weekend :smile: I'm on track in the morning session, then enjoy the "festival" in the afternoon and getting on the beverages in the evening.

De pinning Brembos - sometimes the only way is to cut the pins in half with an angle grinder as they bend. I run upgraded ones I got from @Ph1 Tom to stop them bending / warping.

Welcome along.

I'll be there on the Friday. We're a friendly bunch :)

Mines the "@NorthloopCup" setup ;)

@Christopher. - what do you need from me bud?

10 mins out total. Done with me sat in the car aswell, so as to compensate any 'bulk'.... 😂

Please post something useful, or don't post at all Gents.

I'm not sure. I'd suggest PM'ing AK. Oh..........

Who did you book spa and the ring through bud? I'm keen on a trip next year.

Just finished the other side. They'll line up slightly better when the car is off the axle stands as the weight will be back on the front. :) And to show clearance when the wheels are on lock; Another job sorted. :)

Sorry to hear, but at least he is ok.

I'm running 16mm spacers with these studs mate; http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=231&model=-1 Note the hard use comment about replacing though :)

Looks like another epic trip. I was gutted I had to bail, but needs must. Lovely photos. That off road section with the video I saw would have spelt the end of my splitter and sump.

524 litres with seats up, 1600litres with the seats down. For comparison a Clio 172 cup has 255 litres. So the meg tourer has just over double the space.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_with_%22-gate%22_suffix The wiki page is currently being updated to add "ventgate" to the list iirc. "A scandal where one northerner makes a poor judgement on car modification". X

Ouch. At least the injuries aren't more serious. :)

This needs to be running. Chop Chop bumnugget. X
