European drive by noise regs, they had to cut the induction noise down to comply hence why they also fitted the acoustic valve to the Ph2 172 and 182. All it is is an enclosed filter I would imagine a Ph1 airbox/espace v6 airbox gives similar results just doesn't look as good.

Lovely wheels as said needs seriously hitting with the lowering stick. No sunroof is a nice bonus!

How much negative camber is on the front now? Is it very noticable on the front?

Nice weapon that!

1 per pair. One for the airbag, other for the pretensioner.

DVB-H is avaliable here but only in a few select places, oxford is one off the top of my head either way it won't be mega unless more transmitters are setup with it. I'm having one either way when they're avaliable in shops so I can have a play first, also the N85 is a long way off yet so plenty...

Measure the front lower strut bolt spacing if its 60mm then its got cup suspension.

Its because its mega low on the front i'm assuming? Can be sorted with camber correcting bolts like so: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=800 Although i'd get the adjusters freed off first and raise it some to see if that alleviates the problem.

Rears look better but you can't really tell just from pics, theres only one way to be sure! Get stuck in ;).

Pass on the backs but the fronts looked f**king solid from the pics.

Does indeed but i've seen some where the collars have had to be cut off and replaced, not sure how you go about getting replacements though if it comes to that. Would imagine fk can supply.

Thought the knocking would either be top mounts or it being too low, so easy sorted there. The front adjusters will either come with persistance or be fecked i'm afriad and theres only one way to find out.

B-series vtec ftw! Proper stuff compared to the K20, few vids of a mates we knocked up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnnXqGvkki4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCJyfW8lU8c

It does but its only noticable flooring it in first, just where the engine works a little better due to cam profile and being a 16v lump.

Thought the adjusters would be siezed when I saw the pics, if those are a year old then they didn't hold up very well and aren't made the best. Will be a pig to free them off now but it may be possible may not be. Tracking is normal if its slammed to the weeds it'll want doing. WD isn't a...

Hmm could be the dials then I guess worth checking first then, i'm off work this week so can have a look at it for you whenever, shoot me a pm.

Probably the coolant temp sensors tis a common thing, does it run a bit rougher like cold start when it drops? I can chuck it on obd and read the sensor data to be sure if you want.

I'd say if your not 100% confident then don't do it tbh, i'd chuck them on for you no problems but still a way away. Top mounts need to be swapped over with these though don't they?

Yes but it doesn't want to be left if its started making noises, failure swiftly tends to follow it and it will cause as much damage as the belt snapping. What noise is it making? Rattles on idle and goes when you pick the revs up? A 172 should've had a belt change by now if it hasn't been done...

All good then, nice price either way as its no small job.

I wouldn't even consider a non cupped one tbh, much more of a cruiser than a hot hatch without it.

Love: Boost Boost Remap Did I mention boost? Hate: The inaccessibilty of working on what seems like everything. The stupid petrol filler.

+1 Feels as bodged together as it ever has unfortunately. Took mine back after a week, roll on N96/INNOV8.

Should be 12k service intervals so thats worrying to start with. Worth a gander though, tints never inspire my confidence either tbh.

If you go with alpine i'd stretch to the 9887R just for the extra audio adjustments alone.

Very cheap indeed, that for a 2nd hand box i'm assuming? Got a warrenty on it?

Wants the fault codes reading before stabbing in the dark tbh, so your going down the right route. Could be anything, needs narrowing down.

Shouldn't effect the central locking at all, the yellow mini iso is for the display/stalk controls. Which headunit is it? Is he sure has hasn't damaged any wires? as it gets very tight in there when you fit an aftermarket headunit.

You have to press and hold the fuel cut off switch if its been tripped iirc, can't remember if its press and hold for x ammount of seconds or press and hold whilst cranking.

You'd be more qualified to comment than me :rasp:. 7k now i'll have you know :cool:, and it was still 6.5k before.
