Ah Andy 172 owners arent special like us base model owners!!!
tomdbomb you can go 60mm no problem on 17s, BUT THE OFFSET NEEDS TO BE ET37 OR AS CLOSE AS POSS
king, the problem with that is that the struts are moving parts, and it would cause the struts to seize if it was monted under the top mount nut!!!
OMP i think did one for the 172 like this, so no drilling, but during testing found it caused the top mounts to seize (ask Roamer, he enquired...
Anyone know where i can get some cheap as possible (Demon tweeks were a bit pricey £220)
Im doing the entire back of the car inc. rear seats
need 2 sheets
70cmx120cm
i dont know if they work or not, never tried one!!!!!
but you have to drill through the strut tops to fit one (K-tec are finishing up their polished alloy one soon)
Jacking up one side of the car
remove exhaust heat sheild (4bolts)
Unbolt gear linkage (1nut/bolt)
remove the circlip hold mech in
pulll out std mech
slide in new mech
put back together
takes about 1hr
Yeah hold on for a wee bit, K-tec are doing a cheaper bonnet for the MK2s!!!!! I have the Original Procomp Carbon Bonnet and it looks mint!!! Performance wise it wont make a bit of difference 4kg saving!!! Its more a styling thing than a performance thing
