What car are you compairing it 2? Remember its only a little car with a short wheel base. Also how smooth was the road, i know you said it was a flat road, but what were the cambers on the road like, mine follows cambers a fair bit but got used to it now. I like the feeling, seems like im...

that looks much better, how it should look standard. How much am i looking at for a set of spotlines?

cheers, will have a look.

no it doesn't, i was worried someone had put the wrong springs on the front!! guess i will have to look into some coilovers (gutted :D).

hey guys, please can someone just confirm what the standard ride hight is for a 172 cup. Looking at mine today, i think it looks too high at the front (i aint had the car to long). If someone could confirm what it should be and the best way to measure/check it that would be great. cheers, will.

I wouldn't mind paying, if the money seemed to make the roads better, some of them round me are so s**t. I sometimes feel like sending the goverment a bill for the damage the s**t roads do to my car!!

Amazing, so much rally history behind them which makes it so cool. Its so mint that I could be scared to drive it.

what the f**k is that engine cover all about? He has added an extra axle, which might help with the towing? Think it looked better before tho (just the 1 axle) and it looked even better before that. (without the trailer part when it was 2 cars). Alto if you look at it as a limo, it would be...

the pilot wheel is just for when its un-hitched...it must ground out all the time, unless it has a set of front wheels that we can't see.

Had another look...think it is shopped, the towbar bit looks wrong somehow. not sure tho. Like i said before i have seen mk1 gti's like this. Also he would struggle to drive it anywhere without the front of the trailer part hitting the ground all the time!!

Thats mad, he must have way to much time and way way to much money. The VW lads are crazy tho, they don't seem to be able to do anything by half.

Prob not, have seen a few mk1 gti's like this. its pretty crazy!!

New bumper needed?

Its so s**t when it happens, had my 306's door bent open then £4 stolen and then they bent the door back into place(well close to). That was it. I really think the only way of solving the problem would be a national chav cull. We could use the shotguns from the previous post, have a few...

Yeah it is (not the zetec s tho), i don't think it is worth to much but obviously the more he can get for it the better.

Hey guys, My mate is considering getting rid of his fiesta (trying to get his to get a RS) but it has a few cosmetic problems. I said i would ask on here for some help. One of the rear quater panels, which was accident damaged a couple of years ago and replaced professionally, seems to have...

I get it a bit in the cup, but it always seems to be in places where i would never boot it... its 30 for a reason! Out on the country lanes i get no problems, probably cos im gone before they get a chance to try anything.

yeah the previous owner has done that on one side of mine, it has been sorted out now tho. i kinda wanna stop this leak, so will get it up on stands again tomorrow and have a better investigation. cheers for the help guys.

I couldn't smell it, i am a bit ill and was already covered in WD40, so i can't be sure what it smelt of. It seems to be alot of oil around the box and on the splash guard, but like i said levels seem good. Another quick question which is not really related but where is the best place to put...

no worries, cheers for your help. if its good weather tomorrow i will have more of a look. i was just hoping someone would just be able to say "yeah its this and you fix it like this". would make life easier. :cool:

Well its good to know its not just my car doin it! How much does yours leak, plus is it gearbox oil that leaks (so i know what to keep an eye on).

I have had the drip tray/splash guard off today and there is a fairly serious oil leak. The tray is pretty covered, only on the passenger side. The gear linkage is covered in oil as are other components in and around the area. I thought it must be from the gear box so cleaned everything up...

The one on my cup leaks a little, but never enough to leave fluid on the floor under the car, i was told to just leave it, but keep an eye on the levels. You will prob be able to get one made for cheaper. if it is the pipe, i would guess that if you take it off and take it with you as a...

AC would be nice, but havin the windows down makes it feel like your more invloved somehow! Plus my aux belt change only cost me £15 the other day...bonus!

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update* Sorry to be really stupid and to interupt the thread but how did you destroy the diff? I thought the point of them was so you could floor it more? what causes them to go BANG?

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/CARS/buying/your_legal_rights.jsp read this its sort of relevant at the begining

I would be less worried bout what it is and if you have been over charged because you can't really use it if you don't know what car to insure it as? Sorry to be harsh but the insurance companies won't be nice about it if it comes to a claim. Was just doin some checking and as far as i can see...

yeah true, my bad!

take it back...sounds really dodgy, might be worth calling trading standards to see where you stand before you go back.

unless its a 172 cup! can check by slaming on the brakes and if it locks up and trys to kill you then its a cup ;)
