Started my 172 earlier on and immediately it sounded like it had a slight whine coming from under the bonnet. As I drove home I became increasingly aware of a god awful smell emanating from the bonnet area. Parked up at home and had a look under the hood and it seems to be coming from the...

I've narrowed down the choice of coilovers to 2x sets I think look good, but which are better/preferable ? I know the AP ones are £80/90 more but are they really £80/90 better than the VMaxx setup ? Any others I should be looking at for ~£450 or less ? AP APF Coilovers - £470.00...

Don't ask me how I found this but I thought it was worth sharing, fairly impressive failure ! I think I'll skip lightening my own flywheel myself now xD

It's been a looong time since I last posted here, but I've decided to finally give my old gal some love. I have a 52 plate 172. I remember Henks Rstuners used to be the sh*t back in the day but upon reading up about then just now I'm a little confused as to what's going on ? Can I still...

Saw this parked up in Kiddy today, was on a 51 plate. Looked fairly standard bar some drilled discs and the standard wheels painted black, Tidy tho ! It had a Cliosport tax disc holder so must be someone from here ?

Is this a legit 1 ? Spotted it today right outside my work, just a regular FRS posing as an imposter or the real deal you think ?

Saw this going the other direction towards the Bewdley Bypass from stourport earlier today. Very slick looking..anyone ?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1574896.htm Smokey Nagata's Legendary R33 GTR, those of you that read Maxpower waay back in the day will remember this 1 as I do. The vid of Mr. Nagata flying through that tunnel is epic. Anyone got 27k ? :D

Brand new metallic blue 2010 Clio 200 spotted in Wardon Villages Tesco about an hour ago, looked gorgeous ! Anyone wanna own up ? :)

Following on from Roy's post I found this little gem, a Catherham R500 jousting round the ring with a GT2, Caterham driver has some epic car control going on, looks too much fun tbh. There's even a Clio in it ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxwRgSZiKTk

I've searched briefly and can't really find a definative answer so: Is it ok to use an RS Tuner on a completely standard 172 ? Are there even going to be any real benefits of this ? Ta

Having been inspired by DrRollo's thread a few pages back I thought I'd take some quick snaps of mine and the Missus' cars. Nothing fancy but it was a nice day so why not. Photography skills arent the best I know, the MX5 is a 1.8i and imported from New Zealand believe it or not, full UK...

A good friend of mine at work has had a 1983 911 SC 3.0ltr now for as long as I can remember, we were having a a bit of petrolhead banter today and I was saying how my modern french box would eat his classic Porsche for brekky :D Joking apart I'm interested how I actually would stack up...

Think it was you, coming down Bewdley Hill about 5:15pm today, I was going the opposite direction in the Missus' Mx5.

Anybody seen this: http://www.grahamgoode.com/website/tech.php?item=87&nav=0&website=26 I noticed a white 1 that has had the conversion at my local Ford dealers on Sunday, didnt get chance to take a close look but it looks pretty special. I believe they even do a 370bhp conversion now.

I'm guessing Aux belt idler ? Anyone else have any suggestions ? And how bad it is ? Thanks

Wont say where as it may be the person's home. I didnt actually see the number plate as it was in passing but caught the glimpse of a red 182..must be a trophy :) Very close to where I live too ! Anyone here ?

Does this seem pretty cheap to you ? I thought most pattern/oem exhaust parts were loads more.

Any info on this car ? Just found it of Streetfire. http://www.streetfire.net/video/clio-v6-4x4-turbo-nice_135311.htm

If I'm maneuvering and hit full lock I occasionally get a knock/creak from the drivers side front somewhere. Car is a PH2 172. Any Ideas ? Si

Ok bought my 172 a few weeks back now and was satisfied when I bought it that the Cambelt/Aux belt and all associated parts had been changed, with reciepts to prove back in January '09. Fine I thought wont need doing for a good while yet. However looking through the receipts in my folder of...

Apologies I meant Morris NOT Miller's Is this engine oil actually any good, or cheap rubbish ? I can get some pretty cheaply from my local factor. http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/scripts/prodview.asp?idcat=36&idProduct=44 Ta

I have what I'm certain isnt a standard exhaust system on my 172, but I'm not so sure it's really a performance item either, as far as I'm aware they dont do pattern exhasuts do they ? So what might it be ? It certainly sounds far more meaty than the standard item which to be honest I'm not that...

Saw you parked up in the college car park overlooking the River, looked a tidy exmple too, very nice !

Just caught my eye as I was driving past, parked up at the Jag Garage, Claines in Worcester. Anyone here ?

Glad I did too lol.. Slightly dead I think :p

How do I know what engine code I have ? ie: F4R 730, F4R 732, F4R 736 ?

Which single modification in your opinion gives the best improvement in power output/delivery from: Induction Kit Matched Inlets RS Tuner/Chip Car is 1*2 Cheers Si

How do people rate these boots ? They are massively cheap for about £130 for 4x 195/45/16. But do they actually perform ?

I'm going to change my spark plugs this weekend, obviously that requires the removal of the upper plenum, question is do I have to change the gaskets between mating faces before refitting or can I get away with reusing the old ones ? Ta :)
