Just a quick question, the 3 bearings on the tripod are untrue so car feels awful when you plant it, like it's got a square wheel. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the bearings themselves can be renewed or if it's time for a whole new shaft? It's starting to really do my head in now so...

Just out of interest, I see a lot about the Oreca Group N but nothing on the Group A. Has anyone bought the Group A and if so whats the opinion of it? My exhaust is shafted and I need something. My options are: Oreca Group A Oreca Group N Yozza Race K-Tec Recessed Cheers, Matt

After the nightmare I had 2 weeks ago when I picked up a 2003 172 Cup only to have it spin number 3 shell on the way home, I needed something cheap. So after a week of snoogling eBay every day and a few cars in my watch list I decided I'd bid on another standard example. So in the last 15...

I am currently trying to decide whether to either keep the stock 16" fat fives on my black 172, or fit my Turini's off the Cup I have just sold, but also think of 15" OZ F1's. I am after a fast road/track day car and would like to hear other peoples views and opinions, and more importantly first...

Just a quick question as I'm struggling to find the answer. Does anyone know if a 172 cup driveshaft will fit a normal ph2 non cup 172? Thanks, Matt.

Are there any differences between the ph1 block and head compared to the ph2 172? As in would a ph1 head and block work with all ph2 ancillaries etc?

Bought a 2003 172 Cup today, got 20 miles down the road and started hearing a rattling sound when on part throttle, under WOT the noise wasn't there. As I got a further few miles down the road the noise was there whatever I did. To me when I got home it sounded like the crank shells were...

Hi guys, I am looking to swap my 2003 Octavia vRS estate for a 1*2 and I have been offered a tidy one from a friend which I am interested in. However, the odometer in this car has a mind of it's own. One day it will read 32000 miles, the next it could read 75000 and another 100000 and so on...

Got my car with these wheels on and wondered what they are as I am possibly looking to sell them. They have TD centre caps but I can't seem to find which TD's they are. I did think Pro Race 1 (earlier than 1.2's) but i don't know. Here's some pics...

I have been searching and reading posts from years ago to current day on this subject on here all day today. I have EML light which i know is 50/50 with these cars as to some get it some don't. I will be plugging the hole and tying the sensor out of the way so that's not an issue. However my...

Well I'm back again I previously had a silver 182 back in 2008 and sold that. Now decided to do a swap with Kraig-Cup on here for his 182 Cup and some cash my way for my Fabia VRS. So to start here's a quick pic I snapped today when we had a look at each others cars: Already has decatted...

Well today i set about putting a cold air feed in from the foglight...but looking at how much space i didnt have i decided to make my own intake system. here it is how it started: halfway through: and the finished article: love it, happy with it, though i need a bigger...

after never having painted calipers before i decided that i would have painted calipers for the first time. so i decided to go a bit different to everyone else and did them this colour... opinions? i think they look quite cool personally. not something you see everyday :)
