There might be someone working on that already ;)

open the jaws of a vice, place the arm with the bush between the jaws, support as close to the bush as you can without gripping it. Hit with a hammer.

I'd do it, but I prefer the more plush interior of the FF 182. 172 cups smell funny too, all of them. They all smell of wet dog

There's plenty of thread, it's certainly a lot more than 9mm. More like 20mm. In general enigineering, the rule of thumb for thread engagement is 1.2 times the thread diameter. Now look at the lock nut, that's a lot thinner so a lot less thread engagement. What do you think will be the weaker point?

non cup ones are only slightly shorter. there's plenty of thread to use them on a cup and still be safe

oh good grief no!

replace ALL the gaskets while it's off, even the rocker cover. I've had a vac leak on a 1.2 thorugh the rocker cover before because of the breather system

Re: Had clutch replaced, under hard acceleration - noisy rumbly and slight rock/knock Why are you presuming the engine mounts were changed in the OP? they would only be done if worn, and if you were told and charged separately. Sounds like the upper gearbox mount is at fault to me, either very...

Comma/Halfords engine enamel (brush on)

If you want to tune your ECU yourself, get a mappable ECU. It's just better

Lovely!! Bringing it up for belts then?

This has just prompted me to order an HDMI cable. I've just used Scart for years becuase I had it. Not sure why a new xbox (mines less than 12 months old) doesn't come with an HDMI lead if they're £1!!!

ah, alright, well that's a little harder and I shouldn't have assumed 197. Narrows it a down a bit. Poweflow are still junk though

there are planty. Who did you actually ask? I sell Piper, KTR/Janspeed, Oreca, even Akropovic. Powerflow are junk; Weigh it in

I've used Tunerpro for years with 16bit ECU's (eprom flashing) it's a very good piece of software. I've not kept up with it for a couple of years so I'm not sure how well supported it still is. It's always frustrated me that with more modern ECU's, you can't emulate for live editing in the same...

Fitted dozens of Blueflame systems on 200sx's. They were my go-to system. Only seen them already fitted to clios, and they're quite uncommon

I'm going to make some more of these when I finally get round to it. Already bought the materials

Lovely car Dawn, really nice example. Can't remember the last one to come in with so few faults!

seems to be mostly early ph2's that are effected

it can actually cause havoc with a couple of ECU versions. Get all sorts of misfires and poor running, which effects economy a lot

Sounds like a Ren-Flash from K-tec might be an option for you for the remap

err, ish. Got a lot on this week but can have a quick look at whatever it is.....

Get it fixed. the longer you leave it the more damage to the hub and knuckle you are risking

yup, it's one of those Well done north, you got something right

sounds well mapped. Probably as good as the one I had in today

Engine isn't what matters, it's the ECU. There's a handful of different ECU's for the 172 alone, with a lot of differences in the way the data is organised. Not interchangeable and not as easy as you're suggesting. If it's not supported by Henk, then he doesn't have the info to know what type of...

cat cams? really? with a low pressure turbo conversion?

just a thought...... I've got the car already, why not leave it with me to take the box out?

cool, I'm around all day :)

Looks Slick Kam, really like it.
