It's very rare for a body or pedal to fail, it's normally a bad connection but just unplugging and plugging it back in again generally sorts it but that leads some people to think they did actually have a faulty unit in the first place.

Spoke to nick a while ago and am sure he was trying different things to pack it with but can't remember exactly what he said though sorry. I've often thought if it's the metal spring that's potentially the issue but would be reluctant to try something non metallic though.

think the only pics i've got are one on my lads twiglet?

shed loads of space especially going tubular. personally never had a problem with anything coming undone on tubular and cast manifolds.

Ah, the lovely filtered manifold pics, ask yourself why it's filtered? Surely you'd want to show off how nice the welds are? Plus if you're goimg to use a filter at least do it properly...

it's cool, it was my own stupidity :cool:

could be it's original box.

later box, the renfort plate is for the earlier box that doesn't have the diff that you've got. 182 box but some very late 172s had it fitted as well.

personally i would want a harness mounted at a minimal angle, there is a bit of a kerfuffle about a low angle and submarining etc but i'd still rather be safe than sorry. broke my back once and wouldn't want to do it again ;)

you'll work it out in a mo and then kick yourself :p

if you do want to use a normal lap belt with a bucket seat (don't by the way) mount it to the floor.

you want to tell him or shall i? ;)

d'oh ?

2.5 is fine, had a few set to 3deg and drive ok, as long as everything is fine on the car it's nowhere near how you think it would be.

not sure, think was on idiotbook and possibly here?

no need for them to come out, they just turn the tab as you turn the bolt. 2.5 deg camber and about 1mm out drives nice.

did they say the bolts need to come out to spin them? needs more camber, borderline horrible with only 1deg.

i recognise the reg on the rb but don't think i've seen the car in the flesh unless it was before it was stripped out. philm's rb is for sale, he's prescot way ish?

Who did you use in Chester?

pretty much guaranteed you've got bent valves. looks like someone owes you some new valves ;)

i've seen plenty that city have done, for £20 per wheel you can't go wrong. even if you have to send them to them still works out cheap!!!

why do a forged build and scrimp on valves? not worth it plus 90% of engines i strip the exhaust valves are just about past saving.

could just be the sound in the video but does sound like it's spinning over pretty quick.

that's the sound of no compression sorry.

no real reason why it should be bad low down? no air leaks on the spindles? also what injectors you running? not sure exactly what mark's are done to but should be fine. it's already been mapped?

Chuck the 197 cams in and set them to group n timing.

My lad picked a c3 up off eBay pretty cheap a few months ago. As for importing I personally would wait a bit as the exchange isn't exactly wonderful at the mo.

What bodies you running?
