as said chap, if its done right and well then their shouldn't be any issues at all with rust or warping. mines absolutely fine, inside and out, and its not like the car hasn't had a bit of abuse with the panel in. that's with no roof lining as well, which adds structural strength as its glued...

mine was a bit more of a job than normal due to wanting to have the roof channels removed, a normal swap would be a lot easier as its just tack welded and panel bonded at the channels, no need to cut down into the pillars etc. standard: mine:

had the roof skin replaced on my mark one four years ago, still fine now :) has smoothed and filled roof rails too and gets used on track on full slicks, no buckles/splits or marks in the new panel at all so if whomever does the job knows what they are doing, it can be done well and done to...

rare colour in a phase 1 that compared to shitanium ;)

other than normal servicing and consumables, 2 injectors and that includes the previous 172 as well, so 4 years, 2 cars and 50k probably.

welcome, must be worth a few bob, lol! fairly confident its titanium your thinking of ;)

RB obviously, hence I hunted one out however titanium is growing on me, and I really wish they had done a 1*2 in Xerus Grey as well

if it'd of been a 1 they 'red of been no contest ;) still looks bloody lovely though!

be careful, as mentioned if you don't silence it well then it'll fail most dB limits on most open track days. used to be a few mk1 clios with naturally aspirated engines and side exits, they were loud as hell I have one on my mk 1 but its turbo'd and had 2 boxes in it, was great as no rattles...

yuck ;)

just down the road from me really, I'm Ambergate just the other side of Ripley

sad gits knobbed off darn sarf, a mere visitor to these parts now :(

theres a sort of catchup one here, but may not be exactly what your looking for chap, its an older F7P powered Mk1 vehicle ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?658549-M11-GTT&highlight=m11 pikie fastchips off the shelf chip on a set of pistons with a disco spud to get it shifting...

i'll give it a try :)

:)

and tbh, mines not exactly smooth delivery shall we say.............crap map on it, lol!

very nice the seatbelt clean is on my list of stuff to do, stiff brush and some washing up liquid?

in all honesty, just bolting them on, no not really

rofl, my cars pulled anywhere from 253 to 285 on various RR's over the years and its not changed spec at all in that time. and still ran consistent mid to low 12 second 1/4 miles over the same period too. so someone was fudging something ;)

yep that's the selector anchor, just do it back up. you can just about see the gearbox sump plug in the pic, its right in the bottom middle of the pic, see around half of it and the little copper sealing washer. that's where you want to drain from. the oil you have drained however is still...

lovely job :)

mine used to get a small sort of whiny/tinny noise under slow acceleration, there was bits of crap in my airbox. cleared it out, been fine ever since

can it be used to drag it out of gravel traps ;)

agreed, the 20 year old mk1's I have run on anything, boiled up dead otters, the lot

welcome :)

bloody lovely

I always run 98 ron or above, I used to use supermarket 95 on my first 172 and half the time it didn't run at all, just kangaroo'd everywhere and lost power. so that prompted my move to the higher rons not specifically v power I hunt for, just happened I was going past a shell at the time

22 quid of V Power to top the tank up, that's it

there should be a little plunger type switch with a similar size cylindrical base/plug on the bottom attached the slam panel/above headlight around that area

that circular connector sounds like it could be for the bonnet sensor for the alarm?
