Got a daft looking magnex exhaust on the cup which i want rid of although i dont want car to be as quiet as standard
would a standard back box mate to the magnex middle section ?
hopefully hiding the exhaust and giving a little more noise than standard, anyone tried this ? cheers
i have a 172 cup and st, if i had to pick one it be 172 as more fun but if goin any substancial distance or have passangers id take st as more comfortable reliable etc, 172 is quicker and handles better
happened to mine last week, the comensator valve wasnt working at all so few thumps with hammer and freed it off started working cable tied it up hey presto passed mot , makes very little diffrence whether it up or down anyway to be honest, notice no diffrence when driving
my car does this also, origonaly assumed it to be aux belt, it was quite tight but adjusted it up anyway a little more made no diffrence, just does it when starting car everytime. bit anoying, anyone know if crank pulley a big job?
cable tied springs in place so they not going anywhere and cable tied valve up after a few thumps with hammer valve started working, striped rear calipers cleaned up new pads fingers crossed all good for mot later today. cable tie mans best friend
agreed does seem dangerous but not an mot fail by the looks of it.
yes i think compensator valve is goosed as it does nothing, maybe abit wd40 will sort it out , hopefully for time being vosa doc does job as i need car.
i mentioned this at time when he failed it but didnt believe me and i wasnt 100% myself so when i go back for retest i will take document with me see what he says, if he doesent accept it i will be reporting him to vosa as this is a pain in the erse cheers
cheers lads, so am i correct in saying both points have been failed by mistake , dont want to go telling mot tester how to do his job unless i am correct
yep i know about that document and hopefully it gets me through mot but even with this should brakes not meet a minimum target? mine do nothing
so apex springs are an mot fail ? surely not or they would fail everycar fitted with these?
172 cup failed for 2 reasons both of which i think may be incorrect
1. front springs loose when jacked up and could fall out
car has apex springs so are shorter as are any car with lowering springs and will be loose. is the test not when car is put down into normal driving position if springs...
i was going to do this aswell, ASH have all parts required to make at fraction of cost, did you use 70mm 45deg silicone hose and polished pipe ? does standard airbox hav a cold air feed that can be used with this ? looks good
i have a set of black 17" team dynamics rims on the clio at moment which are getting replaced by turinis this weekend
i also have a red fiesta ST, i was considering putting team dynamics wheels on fiesta but not sure if they will go!
Any ideas? anyone done this before?
i know clio is 4 x...
