yeah, I'm not spending money on pointless crap, if it doesn't improve performance its not getting spent on ;)

correct, the whole idea of the green is to divide opinion and in all honesty preferable get most people hating and going yuck. it amuses me :) if your ever on a trackday when I'm there TomSx feel free grab a shotgun ride

not easily, unfortunately input shaft rattle/whirr is hard to differentiate with release bearing issues. but tbh, the input shaft is usually a rattle not a whir, gearbox whine or whir is normally diff and that doesn't do when you depress the clutch so my moneys on cheap or faulty release...

yep

no mate not yet but in the process/discussions to get one made up

Did Blyton Park Sunday just gone, great day and only way to roll is slicks for me now, RSR's just don't cut it! lol! also looking at pics and from feel of the car I need to get some firmer front springs to get rid of some of the body roll

Had a boiling hot and thoroughly excellent day at Blyton Sunday just gone, crap morning session and then borrowed some slicks (mine were dead and not sourced more yet) for afternoon and the good times rolled!

worst comes to the worst, someone can relay down there to grab it ;)

i'll give you the tenner you lost listing it for the car ;)

as above, its not pulling straight

just stick a bit of pipe on it and plug up the end with a screw or something, just ensure the head of the screw is large enough to not get sucked up the pipe, lol! and yes air leaks into the inlet will cause it to easily idle that high if its a phase 2 172 with the wire throttle (not...

as above, snappy is the man and offers exchange if that works best for you with surcharge refund on receiving your old wheel

usual rule is you'll being to peel outer sill off, have to peel more off then expected, then expose what should be an inner sill and find nothing there either. then start chasing to the jack points and find they're gone too and on and on it goes, lol! mk1 ownership is great :)

i'll be buying this for the ps4 I reckon. got it on PS3 but never got round to really playing it as my first ps3 died not long after i got it and didn't replace it until after I bought the ps4,doh! I have a habit of mothballing old consoles and keeping them but just never using them which is a...

a mint Williams 1 should be worth over 5k all day long the 2's and 3's tend to go for a bit less as less desirable personally if it was my only car I'd use my head, not my heart, and go with a phase 1.

why what you done chap?

it could be chopped out yes but no easier for a bodyshop to refit more than likely and tbh most have rust somewhere so the likelihood of finding a good useable and trouble free second hand panel is slim just get it to a bodyshop and get some advice imo, they no what they can and cant do. my...

in my brief experience in micks old car seems to be around 70mph and above

it has flared ones like the 1.8 16v. the poverty spec (RSi and below) have none flared rear arches and the chassis are also slightly longer. the only readily, cheaply and easily available rear arch repair panels are poverty spec, as such they have to be modified to flare and fit the 1.8 16v or...

Experienced the rattle for the first time this weekend...............but not on mine! :) Mick's old phase 2 172 was at Blyton while I was there Sunday so I blagged a shotgun in it and Christ that rattle is crazy. on the plus side the kit I fitted to my mk1.........no rattle at all! no idea if...

lovely, get over to RTOC to source the bits you need :)

ah right, I don't know that area, if you were more local I could recommend a couple of places

any decent bodyshop worth its salt will be able to either fabricate you new or modify poverty spec panels to fit. don't pay a little though, sub par job will mean it'll simply come back, spend some cash and get it done right if you want to keep/restore the car where you based?

right, i'm in :)

Nokia 3210 still? ThomasBrentnall

and here was me thinking you were a 21st century boy, Christ even me mam's got whatsapp,lol!

as above, need to check with our lass as we may actually be away, totally my bad as I forgot about this if I'm honest

if you had whatsapp I'd send you a pic ;)

I used to run EBC on the turbo with the hi specs, the yellowstuff were about the best but I tried yellow, green and red and none lived upto the RC6's I eventually ended up with however this was 5-6 years back so as you say if they have revised their compounds then could be worth another shot if...
