They're probably available elsewhere but deffo here: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1100 Even if within limits, it's a good idea to get the camber matched side to side. Uneven camber can cause the steering to 'nibble' under braking which can be disconcerting, and besides the...

Could be moisture in the electrical connector or the bulb holder. Has it failed after there's been rain, or after you've driven it in wet / damp conditions? Possible loose or contaminated fuse connection but that's not very likely. Same bulb, no other electrical issues, suggests there's...

If the pedal starts off soft when the engine's off, then gets a lot more solid, they need re-bleeding. When the engine's running, you should feel the same pedal effort every push. Pump them quickly, repeatedly - if it gets more solid, they need re-bleeding. It's normal for the pedal to drop a...

Are your discs vented? If not, I'd steer clear of drilled discs. Heat buildup can cause thermal cracking at stress points, that's the nasty side effect of the holes... If they're vented discs, good stuff but I'd recommend grooved over drilled. Holes are there for lightening mostly. Grooves...

What pads have you fitted? If they're a performance compound they may take longer to bed into the discs - depends on the composition. Either way, they'll need properly bedding in. Start off with fairly light pedal pressure but don't tickle them. You fairly quickly want to be braking fairly...

I've been looking at whiteline rear ARBs to aid turn-in and improve throttle-induced balance, my 172 isn't quite neutral enough for my taste. I'm interested in doing the guinea pig bit. Sounds like these bits could do with a before and after comparison. My car is bog standard at the moment if...

Yeah bit odd to welcome someone who joined an hour after I did - but it's nice to be nice so hello and welcome!

Hey that's good news. Fastest is good! I'm still not sure whether it's quicker than the ph1 1.8 16v I had a few years ago, but that was chipped with a pipercross and janspeed, maybe roughly equal. Still a bit of a shock compared to what I'm used to but needs must. My 200SX keeps breaking and...

I reckon you're biased. But ta for the compliment. Not my doing - I just shelled out for it! By the way, do you know Shrek's just et your car? Hi everyone so far... thanks for the welcome...

I've just bought a 172 and joining up here seems to be the natural next step. So, hello everyone and this is me new car: Bog standard at the moment but that's prolly going to change...
