Go to a scrapyard and get some. Dont bother wiring them up.

Wot happened to your stars Paddy?

LOL - cant wait to see the replies to this one. I presume your 145 bhp is at the flywheel. If so you should see a noticeable difference with the 172 - most have around 165 - 170 bhp though 185 is easy to achieve with a few mods. The 172 is heavier than your Saxo though. If the one you drove...

Nice pics - my car was filthy but it looks great on those photos :D

You can use a credit card instead of a screwdriver - it wont scratch your paint.

Perry McCarthy? Sounds like a TV detective!

Lets call it character :D

Welcome! Have a look in the gallery - lots of ideas in there, and there are some nice pics of the French Car Show in the meetings section.

I think its nitrogen - Halfords do it.

Try the spotted forum m8 it does indeed sound like Slugger.

This happens on the regular 172 as well - need to get Everest in to fit some double-glazing or something :confused:

Could always just buy a nice set of wheels.... :cool:

Shame we never get to see much of the S1600 class on TV...

:D

My 172 was about -100mm last Xmas when I had all the skis, boots and clothing in it on the way to the airport. Other than that I think most 172s are lowered 30 or 40mm.

Thats good enough for me - thanks m8. Ill be there on August 1st - WooHoo :D:D:D:D

Wouldnt have it in that colour, and touring strips are soooo passé.....

Dunno yet - waiting for an email. Dont think I could resist the opportunity to make a complete @rse of myself in those motors.

This one will be a freebie paid for by a grateful supplier. Its never easy for me to find time for this stuff but it does sound very tempting....

Anyone done one of these recently? Just had a call from a salesman offering me a place on one.

The rolling circumference of the larger tyre is 2.6% larger than the standard tyre. So at 100mph you are actually doing 102.6 assuming the speedo was spot-on to start with.

LOL Its cool - can do html too! Can we have the text in white please?

Hi and welcome. 2nd to 3rd is a bit more difficult than the other changes. It does get better over time though. 5 to 4 should be ok though. Where are you in CH? I spend several weeks every winter in Wengen (BE).

Shouldnt think so. I had some graphics on my car for a while - they came off without leaving a mark. I guess the sticker is the same. Theres only one way to find out though......

Wont make any difference. In 3 years time its just a 2003 model - thats it.

We really need to do a test with an AP22 to sort this out.

What does this terminology mean? SPL, IDBL etc? Im not into this stuff.

£35? Blimey Mike thats cheap. Heres what I paid for an oil & filter change at 6,000 miles: Labour £25.00 Oil filter £6.20 Engine Oil £18.00 Total £49.20, plus VAT = £57.81

Bit touchy this morning Rich? I live in the scummy bits as well (Cheshire is only 20 minutes from here) They may have a lot of money in Cheshire but some have obviously pawned their sense of humour to get it...

Thats because its a piece of junk.
