the bug is a 69 which had a nut and bolt restoration that took me the best part of 2 years to complete and the 911 is a 71 911E targa entirely in it's original form.
Lately i have the electrical warning light comming on when i start the 172, you know that yellow light in the centre of the dash.
Now ive only had it on 2 times, and when i turn off the car and restart it again the light's gone.
It starts and drives fine, the only thing i'e noticed is that it...
In Belgium & Holland winter tyres arent required either, but rumor has it they'll be obliged by next year, well here in belgium that is, dunno about holland. In Germany, no winter tyres gets you a 1000€ fine:S
Anyways i have some Falken eurowinter's , which have massive grooves and i have to...
toight
toight loike a toiger =D
Anyways, like you i had F1's in 205trim on, but changed them to 15" falken snow tires just before the first snow, and all i can say is WOOOW, on snow and ice they realy make a huge difference
15" steelies from any clio will fit, they wont rubb and no need for different bolts either, just slap them on
What you think 14" would give if 15" on a 172 gives this qua caliper clearance
7 years and 70K miles, and apart from normal wear and tear, the only things i had to replace were n/s driveshaft (which wasnt actually broken but leaky), and the upper engine mount.
Both these things have been replaced about 2 years ago, since then (touches wood) havent got a single problem
I have a Kranzle Profi160, been using the thing for a few years now, and it has never failed, adjustable from 20 up to 140 bar, so you can use it for no mather what really.
It also comes with a snow foam as a standard feature built into the lance
I want this one so badly

As said a fair few times before now, epic work mate
I'm currently rebuilding mine aswell, but i don't have so much work as you do, i've only got the spare wheel well and rear bumper fixings to replace, all the rest is fairly rust free.
It should be repainted though, but i think i'll go along...
Aah the 911 Turbo, the only 911 that will deffo break down, and eats it's own turbo every thousand miles.
That said, they are immense motors though, but would have an older 2.4 or 2.7 or SC over a turbo anyday
The crome prolly keeps it cool in the desert climate they have there
Thats about the only reason for that i can think of, the red one is just plain awefull
^^ it was the same reaction i had mate when i got mine, so i got too eager and snapped the edge off the brake light, so beware of that is all i can say.
