    um, most wheel fitters use a white slippy detergent type stuff, that is a b*****d to get off the tyres. But check your shocks, jack the car and look for play.

    th calipers from a willy/16V/GTT are all tha same.....well also the 205GTi, and 19 16V.......etc etc. anyway, they bolt straight on with 16V discs and are far better thant eh std solid RT items which are pants. You can do it for about 50-80 quid depending where you get the parts from.

    um, basically, looking at the wheel from the side, at is face if you will. Imagine a line vertically through it, with equal halfs. Then quater it so you have a horizontal line. Not, where they cross is the centre right, thats also the centre of the steering pin. Naturally, you would think...

    Induction kits cause lean running...

    Yes, an IK CAN make a car run lean, simple. But it depends on the ECUs mode of operation. IN this case, it jsut so happens that the 172 runs lean in some cases, i dont see whey thats so hard to believe, not all ECUs run on the same design, they dont use the same sensors and work in diff ways...

    T-reg Elise, thankyou very much indeed...

    hmmm.....i would need to investigate, but it would seemt hat the flys limbs and wings, although splatted (technical term) would create a large amount of drag.

    T-reg Elise, thankyou very much indeed...

    that would be concave, not convex.......you would nthen get shperical swirl zones.

    T-reg Elise, thankyou very much indeed...

    but we all know a textued surface has boundary layers which create a layer of air almost nill velocity. And for this reason it should actually be more efficient if there is dirt on it ;). One of the reasons fighter places still have rivet heads popping up on the body and wing.

    If yuou lower the rear by 35, lower the front by 35. Dont be tempted to level it out. You cahnge castor values if you do, which affects turn in.
