I like them wheels, but not on your car. I think they look out of place. Sorry. x

23mpg? YOu must be driving like a Vicar.

Where did vein come from if your name's laurence?

Leave it as it is. If you do more, it will look chavvy. I'd probably fit a set of dual optic headlights with HID's but that would be it.

Did you only lower the front?? And why is everything sideways?!

I hired a 3 cylinder one of these in portugal. The handling is superb!

He must have bought it spur of the moment because he's never mentioned it...

No a mates. Want to buy it?? He only bought it for the number plate. Its been sat in a garage since 1986!!

ITs carbon...

They do nothing. They're ok if you want it to look cool, but as a functioning item, don't waste your money.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... The fuel pump was a walboro 255 l/h. I had to remove the pump holder from the tank (you may have to drop the tank depending on the year of car) and dismantle the holder by drilling out rivets etc. I then put it all back together...

yours will need doing 72,000 miles / 5 years from the last time it was changed. So about 110k or 2014.

Capsicum red can be buffed up, no bother. It will fade again though. How fast it fades depends on the quality of polish you put on it.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Yeah, thats the favourite route to take. At least then my logbook etc will all match up.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... LOL @ Russ. I did it whilst the baby had her morning nap Rob. I was stuck for something to do whilst living my WAG lifestyle. Looking forward to the weekend though. Can't wait to get stuck in!

I sold an exhaust to a guy on ebay (don't think he's on here) who inherited an X plate which his grandad had from new, with 39,000 miles on it. This was only about 2 months ago.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... As long as my mrs is out of hospital by friday night, It will be!!

If it was me, while you are doing the cambelt (with the proper tools I hope!) then you may as well re-seal the rocker cover as they tend to weep oil. Don't forget to replace the end caps with brand new ones as well. And yes, all 172/182's have dephaser pulley's. I'm sure someone who knows...

So you've fitted a secondhand engine but renewed the belts etc? Fcuk running it in, just go and enjoy it! You've been without for 5 months! lol.

Was it a secondhand engine?

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... PRetty much, although I am losing weight at the speed of sound at the moment so will look like Brad fcuking Pitt come the 7th of june.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... Chris, the previous owner of the blue shell, weighed it at about 830kgs ish when it was F4r'd iirc. Don't quote me on that. But i'm only having one chair, and i'll be using proper glass not polycarb, and i'm about twice the size...

Do what martin said. Will drive like brand new.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... I can't see that happening tbh.

Re: 172 in a mk1, Superfastdan's very very long project.... 3 mk1's will be some sort of record, surely??

I've got the one i'm driving, its not for sale though, but it is up at the garage this week. In fact, its got 4 new tyres on it, it can't be mine!
