It’s been a few years since I did it but I’m pretty sure I bolted it right through... used the existing hole in the sill and then used hammerite on everything. When I finally get a chance to work on it again I’ll renew them with captive nuts and dip them in chassis black to stop them rusting...

I ended up bolting a bit of 1/2” square bar to the jacking points, provides a good point for the jack plate and spreads the load out to stop the sills bending up [emoji1303]

Yer more than likely I think

He would’ve asked so there’s probably some reason behind it but I don’t know what to be honest

Looking for the previous owner of the above car Got a friend who has bought the car but no paperwork or V5 so was hoping the previous owner might still have it? (Was from an auction)

Drop me a whatsapp mate if you’ve still got my number.

You wouldn't think it would make that much difference to the stiffness of the chassis... But then again it was a tight fit! It's basically 'braced' on each corner. Glad you're enjoying it mate and have fun at your track day in the week [emoji1303]

I might've missed it but what brake fluid are you using? I use ATE Superblue (now ATE Typ2000) and haven't had any issues since

That is some of the best man maths I've ever heard. To the wife/girlfriend "but it's ok because the Brembos work out to be free!"

'Fan belt' Melon.

Little tip for the tensioner: use a big jubilee clip

Alright Steve this is Jon, Beth's Fiancé. Car's looking good, I'll have to have a look at it at some point! I like the new grilles, just a thought though it might be worth putting black mesh behind. Looks a bit more 'race car' and stops the stones on the rad [emoji1303]

I seem to remember it was you that told me this a few months ago Martin? Like you say if it's no benefit then I won't bother

Is that with boost? Or just the cams?

Hopefully a nice easy answer Need to do the cambelt on the 182 and thinking of dropping in a set of uprated cams (possibly 197) at the same time However in the future I think I want to supercharge it and have heard the stock 182 cams are the best when going boosted. Anyone able to shed some...
