I’m stripping the last items from my phase 2 172 track car and I’d like to ditch the climate and run a very basic matrix to heat the screen. I’ve fitted a Cup blower which I’ll run off a switch as the loom wiring is different. Can I run the stock matrix in a similar way and run it off a...

A mega old post but I’ve just restarted this project. Any ideas on whether this will work?

It's always baffled me this sort of thing. "I want something cheap to run so I'm going to spend £5,000 more on a car because it's £100 a year less to tax."

Self tapping screw through the surround where the lug was to recreate the lipped edge.

It's an S3. Compulsory excess of £500.

It would be exactly that Buddy. I already have a 172 track car as well as the M3. All being well insuring all 3 wouldn't be much more than the two I have now and the tax on the M3 is nigh on £500 which would drop with the two due to age.

Bit if a strange one but here goes. I currently have an E92 M3 and have just taken a more senior role that will bring about 15k a year of driving, previously I had none. The mileage rate is 14p diesel and 17p but I can claim the difference from HMRC so that's no issue. Despite being a...

Thanks Guys, we thought this was the case. Hopefully the impact will be minimal. Excuse the pun! I don't know if they are yet Buddy but I would assume they are. It won't cost £500 to spray the bumper though so it's not really worth the claim I don't think.

Afternoon all, My girlfriend had an accident this afternoon on the motorway as a car in front slammed on to miss a car in front of him and she tagged the back of him. The damage isn't bad on either car and a respray on both bumpers would suffice and I'm not even sure it's worth my girlfriend...

I sold my old 172 to my best mate. He kindly fitted a new engine, uprated engine mounts, Cobra Daytonas and then sold it back to me for £250 less 2 years later. I went on to strip it and turn it into a track car. I couldn't let the opportunity to buy it go but couldn't have stripped it had I...

When are these amazing looking hub mods available to the masses?

Spotted this yesterday coming out of Swindon. Looked excellent, I did feel sorry for you dodging every bump in the road. I was in the black E92 M3.

Yep. Have a search for "loom" under my username.

Who did it Jim?

Looking good Jimo. Can I buy it soon for £200?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Looking great Sonny. Did you keep any of the original dash bar or did you make your own dash top mount?

Yep, mine are non thermoformed and they're fine. I'll try find some pictures.

Yep it'll fit. Got one you can have for £13 delivered.

No money being saved there but hey ho.

You've got to ask how they got it on there. They seem to do it by magic. I recently cleared the garage out and left an old compressor out for the pikeys. It took me 10 minutes and two crow bars to walk it down the drive as it must have weighed 200kg at least. ​This guy rocked up and got it...

This was at a dealer? ​I bet he didn't have a clue what to do with pricing.

I've got a 172 climate resistor pack for sale if you need it.

I built up the sikaflex towards the front to graduate the seal where it raises. No issues 12 months on.

In a nutshell, neither are quick, ones just a bit less quick than the other.

I've tried too months ago and no response.

What the devil. Are these AT's too? Might have these off you when you strip it!

That's not the way of the world sadly. Can't knock the Guy for wanting to make a few quid on it.
