I'm just after something fairly quite thats not going to fall off (like the standard one just has!)
Are the BTB systems worth the money? There site shows them at £549. They do look very good quality though.
Ive heard bad things about the ktec being too loud at motorway speeds, and problems...
alexiooo - Got the headlights from a local motor factors, they were much cheaper than dealer one but are still made buy the same company.
benson172 - thanks, also helps that i can see properly at night now as the others where all broken inside.
Got the cup down to work yesterday for a bit of a face lift including new headlights, grill etc
so first got it over the ramp:
Front bumper off, easier than most as im missing the front half of both wheel tubs!
Old s**tty lights replaced for nice shiny new Hella OEM ones:
Next up...
1) I know the pulley holding tool is needed but is it purely for holding the pulleys in place while you undo them?
2) i'll be changing the dephaser pulley at the same time as belt kit etc and wanted to know if its keywayed at all ie, does it go in any position or does it only go on one way?
New plate and headlights will be fitted when it gets painted.
Got a brand new lower grill and fog surrounds on eBay for £20 that are waiting to go on.
I'll have a look into the fabia splitters, im presuming there from the vrs??
Hello
Thought id start one of these for my cup as it needs some work to bring it back to its former glory and id like to keep track of it.
So i bought the car at the start of July after seeing it on Pistonheads. It was up for £1650 ono but needed some body work doing and didn't have service...
I know these are different in length, my question is, is the extra length in the actual shaft itself or in the outer CV joint?
i.e, would i be able to fit a cup CV joint to the end of a normal 172 shaft and would it fit correctly?
hi, im Tom.
Just picked up my 172 cup this morning! Its got a few little niggles so im sure i'll find some answers in the technical section.
I'll post up some pictures ASAP!
