I'm in the middle of doing this just now, I've been and got all the wiring from Halfords (yes they had it in stock lol). I'm just waiting 15-20 mins as it says in the guide after disconnecting the battery, so far I've removed the A pillar covers and the silver trim aswell as a couple of...

Very funny!

Yep H7 is dipped and H1 is main beam, then all you need is a pair of LED sidelights to match.

I always find a 24" breaker bar never fails.

It'll be reet, do it. Get pics up aswell.

I bought some of these yesterday and they turned up this morning you get next day delivery and they are one of if not the cheapest on ebay so thought I'd give a heads up to anyone interested in buying a set I recommend this seller highly. H1...

Sounds like it simply needs tightening.

That's the K1 tailpipe the one in the main image.

I'm looking at getting one of these fairly soon with the K1 tailpipe: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2385 I think I will take it to them aswell to ensure correct fitting but I don't know how much they will charge for fitting, anyone got a rough estimate? I requested a quote...

Wheel bearing, cracked disc, wishbone, worn shock? Loads of things, just gotta have a nosey.

Thanks Henry, I thought about it and decided to check the seating of the spring on the offside as that was the only side that was making the noise so it couldn't have been the mounts I thought. So I took the wheel off and jacked her up and hey presto the spring had come out and was partly...

Fitted new suspension the other day and one side on the front is creaking fairly badly and I've tightened the top mounts as far as they will go but there is still movement which I think is what is causing the creaking. Would new mounts solve this and anyone know where I can get hold of some?

As I said though it's my first time playing with the suspension so it was unknown territory plus I started late and finished early due to work yesterday so could say a day and a half really. Thanks for the comments though guys makes it feel like a job well done. Should come down a little...

Yeah definitely sits pretty now, couldn't have asked for a better drop tbh it sits right and can still clear all the usual big speed bumps and kerbs so don't have to worry about the underneath of the car but it's enough so you can tell it's been lowered. £150 can't be right surely there must...

After two long days of graft I've finally got all four corners fitted, 2 yesterday, 2 today, my first time doing it myself and it will be the last, the amount of stress and blood shed is unbelieveable. I cannot understand how mechanic's can do this for a living and I now understand why they...

Very nice, Super T's?

Ah I see, would be quite funny if you saw someone with a setup like that.

What if the brake lights are different on each? Say the nearside is standard but the offside uses the top of the cluster to display braking if you know what I mean, would that class as a fail? Only asking as I'm curious, not intending on doing this lol.

Not worth it tbh. Not only will you need bumpers, bonnet, wings etc but you will likely have to get them painted which will cost a lot.

No, next question please.

I don't know why there are so many people who want to be in debt upto their eyeballs just so they can get a 172/182 at 19/20. They are nice cars yes but at that age insurance is high for a reason. Why not be a little more sensible and get a 1.6 16v for a couple of years, you'll pay half the...

I'm looking to buy a suspension kit tomorrow, I've been edging towards the Apex 40mm kit from K-Tec who have it priced at £270.25. Just wondering if anyone knows anywhere better/cheaper to buy this kit from or if anyone can suggest a better kit for the price? Also what's this business with...

Don't we all? To be fair on or off it doesn't really make a difference imo, looks good either way.

The colour of the car really suits black wheels imo, very nice.

I think everyone went their own way after the industrial estate, some left earlier than others though due to the hail and the general cold weather, some of us were there longer than others so the cold was starting to set in by the time some of the late comers arrived.

Can't make out the lettering on the bullets.

I managed to sneak into a few of them so I'm rather happy. Forgot to mention I reset the trip computer right before I set off this mornin and checked it as I pulled up outside when I got back and it stated a healthy 32mpg and thats after bouncing off the limiter several times and generally...

Re: NW Rivington/Hollingworth Meet Pictures Ah, sound, you were the only guy that I spoke to that knew what they were doing. Was pretty mad at times. Nice iceburg aswell btw.

Another fraudster we got here. No you cannot lower it with directline. I'm pretty sure they won't insure under 21's on cars such as a GTi, VTS, RS, and the like in fact any car remotely sporty and they won't go anywhere near you. That's from my personal experience anyway, glad I'm with Flux now...

Re: NW Rivington/Hollingworth Meet Pictures Yeah the run upto the pub was awesome, really wide lanes and national speed limit = much fun. I'm talking earlier than that where it was really steep hills and speedbumps aswell, couldn't get it into third at all I was doin almost 4k revs in 2nd and...
