Re: The story of a high mileage 172 cheers bud, im agreeing with you, i love the ph1 rear end :) small update: (pics to come) well iv noticed after a bit of hard braking my n/s/f brake seems to stick slightly as you can hear it squeaking, once parked up for a bit its fine, so i popped...

iv noticed when pressing on a bit, either on turning into tighter corners or when coming out it feels as if i dont have enough air in the tyres, like the side wall is leaning over, now im running 32psi front 30 psi rear with goodyear eagle f1s, with eibach pro's and new renaultsport shocks i...

it cant be a box problem mate so dont worry, the speed you travel in each gear doesnt change, its dependant of engine power

weird mate, as long as its private land then give it another go if you want, should pull a lil more than that really

depends on loads of things mate are your wheels std size? does the car need a service? was there a big headwind? what are your tyre pressures? any defects? (exhaust blow etc) was it properly warmed up? iv seen 143mph on my ph1's speedo (138 gps) but it does take a while to get there. mines...

"this car has had an absolute fortune spent in creating the ultimate show stopper" i completely agree with the gents statement and i cant believe you would disagree with it, i would say this car would most defiantly stop any show dead lol

ooh sounds exactly like mine so i will put all my hopes on this being the problem :D lol

cheers matey il have a look tomorrow, so the pin was stopping the seat from moving i assume?

yes they will hun

my passenger seat wont slide back, it tilts fine, and slides fine when you adjust the seat position but when you recline it to get into the back it wont slide, easy fix or is it broken? doesnt bother me too much as i have new seats coming soon (let that one slip ;) ) but if i can fix i will...

in all honesty bud check everything but dont change thinga for the sake of changing them, mines on 116k and all thats on my list is new brakes at some point, few bits of paint to tidy up as im fussy lol, few other lil odds and sods but not muh else needs doing

if it helps mate my old hybrid (14 dead on the quarter) took me round the ring on a set of lowering springs (unknown make as they came witht the car)and koni shocks, and that thing handled like it was on rails, do a search for any of martins (notorious) vids as i sold it to him very good...

iv got one too, mines been on for about 12k now, and its split on me twice,but to be fair i am putting that down to my engine moving so much, now my engine's sorted and iv welded it back up its spot on again, i find it not too loud, quiet even if you learn to go gentle on the throttle, though my...
