As the title suggests. My bonnet is awful (bought it like that as I wasn't fussed as I was going to track the car, which I never ended up doing) with the paint generally a bit nasty (not sure if it's actually faded, or if there's just been all the crap build up on the surface over time). I'm...

My 2003 172 Cup has been on my driveway for a good few months now (maybe 4?) and I stupidly haven't touched it or taken it for a drive or even let it tick over for a bit as I haven't got around to getting it sorted (interior all put back in) to sell it. It's all done now and the battery is...

Problem fitting boss kit from K-Tec So i've bought a Sabelt steering wheel and boss kit from K-tec, went to fit it and it all went well, then went for a drive and noticed some tension on nearly full lock and the occasional click, or perhaps crack. When I got home I take the wheel off again and...

I'm looking into getting a pair of half-way decent race seats for my 172 cup that i'm going to be using as a track car, but i'm a little clueless about seats and harnesses etc. Firstly i'll be looking at getting a roll cage at some point, but not just yet, so harnesses will have to wait a...

Has anyone got a pic of some Pro Race 3's on a ph 2 172 cup by any chance? (mondial blue if I want to be specific ;)). Have done some searching and can't find any. Cheers

So i've got a couple Turinis that are leaking air. When the new tyres were fitted the guy spotted that there was some bubbling on the inside of a couple of the rims, he did a bit of grinding to get the surface smooth enough to get a decent seal, and put some better sealant on than normal, but...

As the title suggests, there's two of these things and i've no idea what they are - they're behind the panel on the inside of the boot: Any ideas? I've spent a few hours today stripping the rear of my car - all done apart from the passenger side rear - another half hour and it'll be gone...

Got my first dyno run on my 172 cup booked in for 11:15 for the first time since i've bought the car. Really looking forward to seeing what it's putting out. Only performance mods I've done to it at the moment are the KTR Sports Cat, Supersprint Stealth cat-back, and ITG panel filter. Should...

So my cigarette lighter isn't working - tried to plug in an air compressor (which I know works as it's fine in my other car) and nothing happened. I've gone through and checked the fuses and none appear to be blown (although I don't actually know which fuse is the right one). I whacked on a...

So I currently have the standard 16" turinis on my cup and i'm looking to mainly do track days and have a couple wheel / tyre questions: 1 - I want pro race 1.2's for track use, with toyo r888's. Is the main reason why people go for 15" purely for the cost of tyres? Or does the 15" really...

Anyone know of any decent places to get alloys refurb'd in Berkshire area? I'm in Thatcham, near Newbury. Cheers Steve

Just a quick one - is there any actual benefit that people have realised from relocating the cold air feed to a standard Ph2 172 cup for track day use? I've replaced the panel filter with the ITG one, but just wondering if there's any real point in spending the time and removing the fog lights...

I tend to be pretty impulsive about things when I get an idea in my head, so last July I had a thought while I was at work and figured I'd like to have a pop at motor racing. So that afternoon I went onto the MSA website and ordered my 'Go Racing' pack. Then a few weeks later I took my ARDS...

So, I've just got back from K-tec with a clean bill of health for my recently purchased 172 Cup (ph2) - but only after a big bill no thanks to the previous owner doing nothing in the past year to help the car, and the moronic garage who did changed the cambelt and cam seal 9000 miles ago who...

I'm going to be getting shot of the standard exhaust as it's knackered and upgrading to something suitable for track days and the occasional weekend drive, but I have a couple questions about the different exhausts. Having done a fair bit of searching on here for which exhausts people prefer...

So the 172 Cup (ph 2) I picked up on Saturday has a bit of a shabby bonnet, quite faded paintwork around the washer jets and other areas, swirls all over the place, all just looking a bit tired. I know the swirls can be removed with a bit of work, but can the faded paintwork (mondial blue) be...

So I picked up my first 172 Cup today - 2003, 59k on the clock. Driving it home I've noticed a few more things I didn't spot on the test drive - don't think it's anything major, just not entirely sure what they are. Here's the list: 1 - What is the purpose of this? Is it important or is it...

Hi I've decided to buy a 172 Cup to strip out and play around with for track day use (I'm racing FF1600 this year at Castle Combe but want something I can involve my girlfriend in). I've done a fair bit of research on here for the bits I need to know about (seems to mainly be the dephaser...
