Ah bugger, was hoping I'd be able to avoid having to do that with it being gearbox side. Cheers anyway mate.

Got abit of a problem whilst attempting to remove the front abs sensor. Whilst removing the body of the sensor the top half snapped and left the bottom bit in the hub, problem is it's snapped flush. Any suggestions on removing it? Rather not remove the hub completely as it's the gearbox side.

You'll probably find the Ph-1 a little more economical, reading on here and speaking to people with 182s they tend to be a little thirstier. Biggest thing is what you've mentioned, tyre prices. Also depending on which year Ph-1 you get, some of them fall in to the old tax bracket, so tax is a...

More the aesthetics for me personally. There's not a massive difference in the drive through out the whole range. Cup just felt a little rawer.

From experience, apart from the cable throttle I preferred the Ph-2 to the Ph-1. Not quite the same situation as you as I previously owned a 172 Cup but given the choice I'd definitely pick a ph-2 over the ph-1.

I used a nail punch to knock that bolt out after removing the nut when I did mine.

TDC sensor is really easy to remove Ed. The hardest bit is just trying not to drop the bolts down the in to the engine bay. lol

My Koni adjustable shocks I had didn't extend fully when they were off the car. I was concerned about it and asked around and was told it was normal. They damped perfectly fine once they were on the car as well.

That would be mine yes, just like to add mine wasn't the only Cup playing up that day ;) The cup got spoilt in regards to cleaning until it got keyed, the ph-1 doesn't deserve cleaning because it looks like a retarded t**t :P

Lol. My biggest concern was like Edde said, damaging the thread in the hub so the new sensor wouldn't fit properly.

It's the car's way of telling you to get those turrets cleaned :P My Cup use to do that, strangely the Ph-1 doesn't.

Cheers Edde. :)

Following on from my ABS issue thread, I've found out my nearside front ABS sensor is at fault. The wire going in to the sensor it's self is frayed and very loose, so it needs replacing. I've searched around the forum and all I've really come across is how difficult they are to remove. I've not...

I can probably guess exactly which exhaust has been fitted lol. I had one on the ph-1 when I bought it and it did exactly the same thing. Mate also bought a ph-2 with the same exhaust and yes, his cracked in the exact same place too.

Better with it out IMO. I've seen what it can do to the AUX belt just recently.

Agreed. It's not the best and the only reason I've still got mine is due to the noise it makes lol.

Just taken the car out and all is well. ABS seems to be working as it should and no more kick backs from it at low speeds. Must have just been a bit of crap on the rings and with cleaning them up has solved the issue.

Right, I've checked the ABS Rings on both sides and they're both fine, cleaned them up and inspected for cracks and nothing. Something I did notice was the wire going to the ABS sensor was quite frayed and comparing it to the other side it does seem as if it could be causing the issue...

Sorry this is unrelated to your question but I've been trying to reply to your P.M you for the past couple of days about the Cup brackets you asked about but can't because your inbox is full. lol

Re: Diagnosis before I burn the f*cker? That's a strange noise, :S When the starter packed up on the Cup it clicked but not like that. Have you tried bump starting it?

Really good cars, people often mention the lack of feel in the steering but it's nowhere near as bad as it's made out.

IMO Wilky's would have a considerable advantage. Mate of mine had his EP3 CTR RR'd at TDI North and made 211bhp. It's pretty much identical performance wise with mine up until 130 then his starts pulling away. The above obviously took place on a private road :P

Jamie loves a good ph-1. ;)

When fitting the new style Renault Sport badge, IMO you need to lose the Clio badge.

It occasionally stopped working on my Cup as well. As Fletch says, wouldn't ever trust it.

I've just started playing the H2H season too, Just got promoted in to division 6. Keep coming up against people that feel the need to pause the game at every given opportunity and watch every single bloody replay though. lol

Ahhhhh thought so, Must shift now then, it wasn't shy when the engine was standard.

Ayee, most people think they're red, they look different depending which light they're in lol Oh btw, has your got uprated cams in it? Remember when it came up for sale on here again and I'm sure the owner at the time mentioned cams.

Do you mean mine? I was there at the time and mine has orange (often mistaken for red) Oz F1s) on it.
