Did a few more things that have been annoying me for a while.... Finally sorted the brakes out. The Ferodo DS2500 pads for the front I bought I couldn't get to fit, they were just far to thick to go over the disc. So got some Brembo OEM ones, had these on before and liked them just wanted...

Few more bits to do on it over the next year, but as is it is very good and makes me smile!!

This is the only reason why this one was bought. It will work out better value in a way as it was broken, just needed a bit of tlc

This car has sort of temporarily put a stop to Clio progress, but it does give me a chance to save up for engine mods next year! But basically, me and my step dad are off to the Nurburgring in 8 weeks (17th September). The current car list on the drive way is my Clio and his Corsa. Would love...

Nice and simple your wiring solution. I bought some cable tidy that I ran down the sides of the car and cable tied that to the chassis to hide my wires and that. Didn't think to hide it like you have. That is a nice colour you are going for, little lighter than what I have. What are you going...

Road legal. I enjoy driving it so it's not just a track car. it does play on your mind havig to drive it home, so it calms me down a bit and try not to be a hero on track. Would like to have a tow car and trailer, but don't have the space to store a trailer. But would still keep it road legal...

I'm happy to remove the material off the tabs, but didn't want to remove any off the other part of the backing they are now the same "length" as the old pads so should fit nicely.

The only weight saving thing I want are poly carb windows but other things are more on the list first. I am not skinning panels or removing anything from the loom. In theory my car could be put back together with ease as I haven't cut any cables, the CD changer wires are still under the seats...

Really, were you bored?! Haha. Thanks! I've learnt and re-learnt loads doing it, got out of practice since moving out and going to uni. I know it has been a bit slow as I don't live where the car is kept, hopefully I get offered a new job (been told I should get a formal offer this week) and I...

The spanners and adjusters are kept in the car so there really is no excuse! Fantastic, glad it is an easy job! The bottom adjusters things for height, top for spring rating/stiffness?

I hope they are the right pad as I can't send them back as I have ground two down!! Good, everyone is saying what I was thinking. Hope cleaning the caliper and no shims will be the biggest difference and not more off the pad. As the pads are now the same 'length' as the previous pads so fit in...

I painted mine with a brush with Dulux gloss. Less than a litre was used, did a few coats too. The finish is good and many people have complimented it. And you have a tin of paint for touch up as it is inevitable to get marked. Although I would reccomend fitting some form of matting in the...

Yeah I haven't touched ride height, but now I know it needs doing as I noticed the other drive shaft has done the same. Presume it is an eay job to do, like wheel off and move the right adjuster nut thing? Or do I need to remove the lower shock bolts? I have never changed ride height on any car!

Bought some Ferodo DS2500 pads and had a bit of issue fitting them. I removed some of the paint/material on the ends to get them to fit Managed to get them into the calipers after a very long time and a lot of struggle but they wouldn't slide. Got annoyed as the car needed to be working so...

Did a but of work on the car this weekend...changed the front discs and pads. Wanted to remove the arch linings at the same time to clean the crud from behind, but ran out of time. Plus one of the lining bolts was about to round off and I didn't have a replacement. Old stuff ready to come off...

If you are going to take the sound deadening off the roof with a heat gun, make sure there is no moisture on the outside on top of the roof.....my roof was wet and I burnt water marks into the lacquer and the roof was ruined.

Washed the daily. Looks nice and shiny Jet washed the rear arches of the 172. Hope I haven't made it rust anymore......

That is not the response I wanted......haha. not sure what my spring rates are, or even if I can get stiffer ones.

Not done much on the car last weekend. I did get the roof wrapped as I sort of ruined it - never use a heat gun on the inside of the roof if the outside is wet, I burnt water marks into the lacquer. I couldn't get a picture of it, but no one had seen anything like it. But now it is black. It...

It's meant to be a pure track car....but I do drive it when I can as I enjoy it so much! This is why I don't want to waste time, effort and money on powder coating if it is going to be pointless. The dream would be a second set of wheels where I would not care about, I would just spray them...
