went in to get an oil filter to do an oil change especially after yesterdays hard driving at the stirling meet and the filter i got instead of being a cylidner can was just a paper like filter, like a mini cylinder airfilter, does this sound right for the 1.2 16v engine? 02 plate btw
cheers
decats arn't illegal, and they wont make your insurance void if they are declaired.
failing an MOT will tho, if a car can pass an mot with a decat then its fine.
colour looks awesome.
dont like the bling wheels or yellow engine cover tho.
take a good handling, fast car, make it handle worse with big wheels and slower with an open air filter & larger rolling radius wheels!
still think it looks good tho, but id slam it on its arse
illegal plates
my mate got £60 fine for the exact same plates as my old ones (thats why i changed)
Plus technically it shouldnt pass an MOT with them but my mates did, i didnt have mine on for an MOT
i miss my old ones still want to put them back on all the time!
im on apex -60mm kit, yeah noticed the camber when taking pics of your car, loved how fukin (or shud i say FK'in ;)) low it is! suits the wheels perfectly.
seemed to handle brilliantly although looked a little bouncy, but maby mine looks like that too ive never seen mine in action from the...
giles were they not optional extras? although i cant find a pic of another mk1 172 with a sunroof! remember thinking it was weird at the time i noticed it
Heres the pics that i took from the stirling meet, cameras crap but still ok. was a brilliant night, i went thru half a tank of petrol in one night was fun trying to keep up with the 2.0s apart from the fact that my passengers side front tyre was a bit low and every time i turned right it kept...
mine is a 1.2 16v but got the same 50 litre fuel tank as a 182, and it costs about £40-£45 to fill depending on petrol prices.
i get about 300 miles to a tank sometimes more sometimes less
my mates got one some of the falkirk/stirling guys probably seen it, older shape one black with white wheels.
straight it pulls and pulls on me but not as much as the 172s were on sunday, but corners im actually faster than him (his is standard)
dont do it, quickfit use cheap shite replacement exhausts. ive noticed some of them look even more restrictive than standard (seen them fitted to both a saxo and mondeo get very thin at some parts
go to Motorsport world in lanarkshire they have a custom exhaust centre, £170 for a stealth...
biggest b*****d of a jov ive done putting it thru the grommet, tbh i fitted my front comps, rear speakers and rest of the wiring in less time than it took to do that power wire lol
i got the "clicking" thing when pulling away its the engine moving, it makes a click when it cant move any further in the mount, or thats the only thing i can think about.
i changed the mount yesterday with a 172 one and its much better now car no longer jumps out of gear when your coming upto...
