    Damaged alloy wheel.

    Just a 15" dynamique wheel? Should be able to pick one up for less than £30..

    Clio 172 or 182?

    PMSL at getting one that's not been ragged. The worst thing you can try and do, imo. I bought one which had been used for a 2 mile trip to work, and the guy had a TVR, so it never got much stick. As soon as I started pushing it hard, the thing went wrong a million times. Show me a high miler...

    Pictures of flocked steering wheels?

    Flocked? You mean suede? If not, why not?

    Seats - Runners / Sub Frames??? Explain please!

    Pretty much, you bolt the subframe to the car, and then you can bolt the runner to the subframe, meaning you can slide them back and forwards. Helpful if there's more than one driver. You can just bolt the side mounts to the subframe though, meaning it's fixed and slightly lower. I really...

    Awesome work on the seats!

    Red 172 - Cup?

    Because they're epic, IMO. Only RS I'd have over a Rallye would be a 182 Trophy.. Owning a 306 is irrelevant. Mine's s**t.

    Red 172 - Cup?

    Ahem. Keep your Rallye. (;

    Red 172 - Cup?

    172 cups only came in Mondial Blue and Iceberg Silver. The red you're looking at is Flame red. Not a limited edition, no. Just not that many sold. Tend to hold their price better than silvers and blacks..

    Track Tyre sizes

    I think Jamesstone is selling some almost new 888's.

    Track Tyre sizes

    195/50/15 is normally standard, iirc.

    mk2 172 Engine Mounts

    Unlikely to be engine mounts, imo. Look at ball joints, and suspension top mounts, imo.

    mk2 172 Engine Mounts

    Drivers side engine mount (LHS of engine bay as facing) Upper gearbox mount (Under battery) Lower gearbox mount (from gearbox to subframe at front) Dogbone (gearbox to car (back of the gearbox.)) Your knocking noise, is it at the top of the revs in first and second? If so, I'd try loosening...

    Rear pad fitting..

    Just pads? Loosen wheel bolts. Jack rear up and put on stands (with handbrake off!). Remove wheels. Remove metal clips that hold pads in. Tap slider out with hammer and screwdriver. Remove two bolts that hold caliper yoke. Everything will fall off. To fit, reverse procedure. You'll need to...

    Drop of superglue on the thread, lol

    Help required to pass MOT on 182.

    I've got a full set of standard 172 springs in the shed..

    F4R Weight

    I'd guess 12-15kgs for the head, and 60 odd for the bottom end. Both guesses, but I lifted both at the weekend.

    k-tec engine mounts for 172 ?

    The energy lost by softer mounts is put onto the road, in theory.

    Help required to pass MOT on 182.

    £570?! f**k me. Pretty much, new coil spring is easy. Inspect the shock. It could be because of the broken spring, but standard dampers are picked up on here cheap enough. Same if it's a knackered top mount.

    k-tec engine mounts for 172 ?

    Open the bonnet on the driveway, and get someone to blip the throttle. The engine will rock slightly on standard mounts. Do the same with solid mounts and there's hardly any movement. Without the slight engine movement (eliminated by uprated mounts) the car picks up better when you boot it...

    307 rear light

    I'd bet so.

    Replacing Gearbox Mount - Help Please!

    As said by PM, this is why I gave you the whole mount in the first place. Just unbolt the whole thing from the gearbox and the car, and swap it over!

    Removing Speedlines

    Heat them up with a hairdryer and peel them off. Might need polishing after to remove any residue. Simple

    Front pads

    Squeaky as f**k. Like, seriously loud. Also, they make a mess of wheels/paintwork.
  27. Budgie

    Front pads

    For road use and track, DS2500. For purely track/minimal road- CL.

    rear brake calliper torque settings?

    Once the hub nut's off- tap with a lump hammer and spin, repeat until it moves.. Sometimes gets a bit sticky.

    Ph1 172 gearbox build problem

    You've taken the box apart and are rebuilding it, or you've changed the box over in the car and now the gearstick won't engage?
