Drop the oil and bang a shaft in, get a magnet on a stick and fish the rollers out. Seen it happen a few times on the R5gtts and people have got away with it, nothing to lose and cheap enough.

Close enough force compressors round as far as you can

Put the compressor higher up on the lhd side in the pic ?

Pull and twist gets them off damage free. Small bit of epoxy resin when refitting to stop it coming loose.

Mk2Clio sport springs will go straight on and always loads of sets for sale cheap. Avoid apex if you want a decent ride, eibach sportline are decent for road use.

Thanks for the reply will have a look into it ?

Japspeed bump steer kit looks good, did you drill the hub to suit the spacer?

You will still get charged for prep regardless of what you do to them. I would expect £200-250 a set.

Get the place thats coating them to do the prep. They will usually remove tyres, dip/blast and remove all marks and coat/refit tyres for the price. Done a few sets myself back in the day, takes quite a bit of graft to get kerbed alloys right. Drop them off and pick them back up fresh let them do...

Starting on 2nd attempt when cold will be weak fuel pressure regulator. Mine does it - pump does not prime first turn of the ign and non start or very rough start/conk out. When turning key 2nd time the pump primes and it fires up no bother. Try it next time you cold start, crack ign on and turn...

It might be worth giving Chris @ efi a shout see what he recommends. They definitely wont be 630cc’s it wont need them, look like the newer style 225/r26 stock injector.

Sticking a cat back in should knock a few db’s off

Ive always wondered why the trophy had higher et turinis compared to the 172cup. In for info

Lucky escape with the cambelt ! The difference is massive when timed up properly. Where did you get the 3/4 number plate from ?

Whats best at the moment ? Mine is on exodus but went off ages ago need to update.

Id be up for a run out in next few weeks. Not been to any meets for ages.

That setup looks great for a track car, Keep us updated on the fitting.

Mine was originally diesel and as far as im aware its still the diesel tank. I didnt do the conversion however have pretty much rebuilt every part of it due to bodges. Its currently got 172 sender and pump with the float off the kangoo sender so the fuel gauge reads correct at the top. 172...

They last miles longer than any ford from the same era thats for sure. Its sad to see some good nick shells going to the weigh in yard. Gve it ten years and it will be hard to find a rot free shell imo.

Small update Had the Kangoo weighed and come out a lardy 1138kg ! Its quite superleggera too with no airbags or abs etc. I reckon it would be a struggle to get it under 1000kg without going really agressive taking everything out. As i quite like it as it is interior is quite a nice place to be...
