    Project White Rider

    looks great. Perhaps some fakey bonnet/boot pins and rear wiper removal to finish the look?

    22 1yrs ncb 172ff insurance who best to try

    i got mine for £912 from Egg and i am in the same boat as you. They originally quoted me 1050 as a renewal but i haggled them down by using a dubious direct line quote. :cool:

    clocking back a instrument panel from a breakers?

    I'm tempted but i'm wondering if the additional cost of having the car corrected outweighs the rise in sale price.

    clocking back a instrument panel from a breakers?

    yeah i have an MOT and service from september which is around 44k or so but the new panel reads 52k so it would have been possible to do those miles. The annoying thing is that i only use it once/twice a week now due to change in circumstances so it would have had about 45k heh. :dead: Its not...

    clocking back a instrument panel from a breakers?

    is it true that if you purchase a used instrument panel it will retain the mileage from the other car? I'm getting a new panel from a breakers and its slightly higher mileage than my vehicle. Is it possible to restore my true mileage or not? Although i'm saving alot by not buying brand new...

    Workmates 172FF Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    I can't stand the headlights on PH1. Nor the interior. Black one above does look nice though and I'm sure they are quicker by a millisecond or two...

    Gumball rally yesturday !

    One of my mates was in camden town the other day and saw these getting ready for gumball. I got this lil pic in mms :D Apparently they decided against the veyron because it wouldnt be able to make the distance without needing various sets of new tyres and new wheels! The guy was explaining...

    Download Speeds....

    There are a lot of factors involved but the most common cause of low speed is actually the source of the file. As a test; if you download a file from a UK microsoft server you will probably reach your connections potential. You should expect more than 800KB/s (the theoretical speed of an 8Mbit...

    Can I afford the 172 ?

    I think you've made your decision anyway and you just want people to say 'do it'. If you want to spend all your earnings on your car then you can I'm pretty sure you can afford it.

    batch script / command line

    thanks mate will check through when i get a chance. Added to favorites. I was just about to test another method which may end up working better than the original design. I found an exe that outputs file size to a variable. I can tell the FTP to run this on every zip upload combined with an...

    batch script / command line

    I want to do a command line based search for files in a certain dir which are larger than a size of my choosing. For example, find any zip files in C:\backups\ that are >200MB. I cant for the life of me find a way to do it!! I assumed the find cmd would have similar parameters to the one in...

    HELP! Something Is Eating My Hard Drive!

    Check the size of the windows folder. You might have network caching on which can occasionally cause probs. This would only be an issue if you were on a local network though. The folder it stores files in is usually C:\Windows\CSC and its hidden by default.

    Brands Hatch BTCC/Clios Qualifying Pics

    I was down for the sunday and the clio racing was great as usual. Druids was awash with slams :D I think 32 of the 42 cars made it through to the main event, it was a shame there was only one race.

    standard or modded

    Yes but the point is that modding the car will generally be a money pit. Most mods wont actually add value to the car and in some cases, buyers will be put off. I've read lots of threads on here where people say they will only buy standard etc because there seems to be a notion that a modified...

    dropping clutch - revs go up

    yeah i know what u mean. I had that trouble at first too. You'll soon find yourself adapting your style so that it doesnt happen. I didnt really make a conscious change to my technique so I cant be of much help with how to solve it :approve: I imagine its just easing the clutch down slower...

    dropping clutch - revs go up

    I think its because the throttle is electronic not pure cable like ph1 172? It is pretty lazy at revving so i've noticed lag on mine when lifting the pedal. If you rev and then lift off when in neutral does it ease off the revs smoothly or drop sharply as you lift the pedal? I assume it eases...

    Zero Hour

    pshhhh well i prefer it to that 3d rubbish! I love the original C&C but dont really play it anymore. Yuri was the last decent one in 2d so I still give it a whirl now and then. Zero hour is pretty cool but i never thought it had the edge over the classics.

    white HYBRID 182/172/1.2/RN clio (happy?)

    are you planning to colour code the side strips? I couldnt see much in the previous pics so maybe they are just in there temporarily. I like white cars and I think this will look great at the end. Whats the plan for interior? Keeping the original, upgrading to 1*2 style or stripping etc?
