With all these for sale posts, without pictures and detail, it’s difficult for anybody to say. Just do a detailed write up, get some good pictures and then put a for sale post for what YOU think it’s worth. You’ll soon find out if people are interested or not, then you can always adjust and go...

🙋🏻‍♂️ And believe me when I say it’ll be like new when I’ve finished Joking aside I am in the market for another project

Such a shame as I think the last one that sold went for mega money. I totally agree.

I would’ve thought the opposite would happen. I.E when the clutch is pressed in, the noise goes away as everything is under load. With that age and mileage on the original clutch, I’d bet it’s the bearing thrust guide. When mine went it rattled when you pressed the clutch in, not when it was...

I would assume their customers.

You're probably aware of this - And this -

I’m never happy Nick 😂 I enjoy the work but once it’s done I’m like, what’s next.

I think this should be it for the RB project now with the exception of a couple of parts, some of which I've already sourced but not yet fitted. Still on the lookout for a pipe going from the actuator to the airbox (there is one for sale on here but it's part of an airbox and not available as a...

I've got another set identical to those Darryl. The lad from who I bought the RB from only had 3 Turini's so bought a spare off me. They were in the colour on your BG. He just went to the same place I go and had the other 3 refurbished in the same colour. I used to run TD Pro Race 15s on that...

Lovely, you've convinced me to go back to Turini's on the RB.

I took the engine out when I did mine as I needed to access other parts, but I've had the subframe off with the engine in. The top engine mount is sitting on the body and the battery support above the gearbox is bolted in, so it won't go anywhere.

Not a massive job with the subframe off, just a few bolts at the bottom of the gearbox to remove, then the bolts out of the sump. My BG sump was leaking in multiple places, including the crankshaft oil seal, but primarily from the corner near the starter. Great opportunity to get it aqua...

Oh, I don't know. It'll save you buying spacers.

Yeah I’d agree.

Money is strong for a non cup 172 but the clean cars are fetching mad prices. i can’t see it flying out at that money, but I get the impression the seller isn’t in a rush to sell. I was surprised you never bought that Blue 182 in Scotland. The new owner’s on here and it looked a proper car. But...

I’ve seen this car in the flesh. It's just up the road from where I live (well 10 miles up the road). I didn’t chat to the owner as it was parked up at a retailer outlet, but I had a good glance around the outside and remember thinking wow, what a clean looking car. Obviously I know nothing...

I bought these because my virgin broadband got so bad it wouldn’t even connect to my smart tv in the other room. I can connect to it down the bottom of the garden now. Unreal bit of kit.

Yes.

The parts/engine alone would fetch that. RBs are always priced above Blacks and more so over Silvers. There are some proper nails out there for £4,000. To OP - get some proper detailed pictures of everything and put a post up with what you think it's worth. Go from there.

I guess you could fit one if that’s what you really wanted but it’s not really needed. I ran one of these on my race car https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401004958511?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j2b836z-SD6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Unwx-nP3Rjy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY. No...

Only one thing left to do now. PUUULLLLL! 😂

They’re incredible aren’t they.

You’re welcome although I owe you an apology, my mate, who smacked into the car, confirmed the pads he used were PBS 🙈 So I guess DS 1.11 are safe for the roads.

I've used Carbon Lorraine CL6 on the front before but found them too severe. Awesome stopping power, but more difficult to control compared to the DS 1.11. Pagid 42s were more Linear but couldn't manage the heat as well so suffered brake fade. I never tried PBS but a mate has in his and he...

You're all far too hardcore for me. 💪

Nope, he’d just stuck them in 😂

Quick story. Ring booked and we’re all meeting at a fuel station at 2am on the A19. I told one of the young lads not to fit his DS1.1 until he got to the ring. He set off from his house at 1am and made a quick fuel stop at the shell garage around the corner. He pulls up and smashes up the arse...

Ds1.1 On the front, Ds2500 on the rear. just be careful if you’re using it on the road though.

I want to change my car every month. The Clio’s are the only ones I’ve ever kept. 5 years of ownership is not in my DNA. I haven’t even finished my RB resto yet and I’m already thinking of flogging it or creating another track focussed version of it. I’m the guy who bought a £35,000 i30N, drove...
