You can use it on your ring piece mate if thats your thing ;)

If your in Manchester like Fred said . I'd get down to Powerflow in Burnley . I paid £270 for a stainless catback stealth for my old 172 .They did a top job and i know a few other people on here have used them and rate their work as very good . TOP GEAR Northwest Ltd 1 CAROLINE COURT...

Free :bump: for you alex . Good stuff this Collinite 845 Insulator Wax , i like to alternate what wax i use and this is one i like using ,very easy on and off and lasts quite a while too :)

Fcuk me mate . Thats bad luck . Not a good start to your 172 ownership . At least you didn't have to foot the whole bill if thats any consolation .

^^^ I was wonderin if it was that . I asked Guy from opieoils about flushing the engine before i change my oil and this was his reply : Andy, Thanks for the pm. Dont bother with a flush, they can do more harm then good. Just drain and replace, the synthetic will do all the cleaning...

^^^ Whats the engine treatment you use for exactly ?

I like it .Looks really good on a black car :)

Nice one mate . Enjoy it , best colour as well imo ;) Same here for me Matt , i average about 25 , not as many motorway miles as i used to , plus i always floor it everywhere i go , lol .

Fcukin hell . Those supersprints are expensive :eek: £555.99 for the backbox £853.34 for the front section and cat . £205.30 for the centre section £187.76 for the tail pipes £1802.39 + delivery Costs more for the exhaust than an engine. Don't think i'll be having a supersprint...

The cars in the background are in a more secluded area than mine . Right behind the car are the petrol pumps so lots of people always buzzing about .

I went to Adsa this evening , parked up as i usually do ,miles from anyone else , on an angle and over the white line , 99% of the time nobody parks near you . When i came back this is what i found , lol .

You could just make a hole in the 90 degree bend , get a 16mm samco hose and put a small piece of tube in to connect to the bend like i did .

Powder coatings ok , but it does tend to chip alot more easily than paint .

It doesn't instill confidence in the dealership if they can't even get a simple thing right like filling up the oil to the correct level does it . Its not exactly rocket science , thats what the dipsticks for at the end of the day , to check the level .

Sounds very cheap to me .

I couldn't remember off the top off my head exactly last night what lights went out . Just got the car out the garage . With the key turned but the engine not started , all the lights go out except the stop light , handbrake light and battery light .All the lights that do go out including...

Its a bit weird how its managed to come loose . They are usually a bit of a t**t to get off without breaking the clip that holds it in . Have you just had your oil changed , or was the metal clip broken off to start with . Best thing to do when your changing the oil is take off the whole...

Nice one mate . Good choice , glad your enjoying it , lots of fun for not alot of money :)

Easy off for me , not much effort at all . Maybe you need some weetabix , lol .

Sounds normal to me . When you put your key in the ignition and turn , all the lights come on , start the car all the lights go off , except for the handbrake light obviously . Thats what its like on my 182 , was the same on my 172 .

So if its your back tyres that need changing , as you've just bought 2 new michelins , leave the contis on the front , put the michelins on the back , job done :)

I always put new tyres on the back and move my back wheels to the front . That way your tyres last longer . Plus having tyres with less or very little tread on the back is not safe . I've had this debate before so thats all i'm saying on this matter , lol ;) Have a read of this...

Good advice here : http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27

I have no intention of buying a lightweight midengined sports car with either Yoko A048's or T 888's . I'm giving my opinion based on my experience of the toyos v exaltos , with the former being crap . I'll leave it there ;)

I never said they were the same price . You said the michelins cost twice as much . They don't cost twice as much for my size of tyre . Like you say , maybe not everbody can afford an extra tenner , if that was the case i'd save up well in advance for a time when i know i'm going to need some...

edit - see post below. I fcuked up cos i'm in a rush , lol .

xxx Hardcore paste wax for me from carwashnwax , easy on , easy off :) http://65.61.142.45/product_p/xxx.htm

Point # 1. He never said for what car . Point # 2 .He never said for what size of tyre. Like loony says . He never asked about value for money , he wanted peoples opinions on the toyos and my opinion is they are s**t in the wet. It says he has a 1.216v clio. For all i know he could have...

Like mycougar49 says , rip it as an mp3 with windows media player then e mail it , at the other end either play it as an mp3 or re-encode back to audio using nero .

Like i said , Toyos shite in the wet , exaltos fantastic in the wet . Seeing that we live in a wet climate i know which ones i would go for everytime .
