Yeh, it's the worse job on a 172.
I welded bar to the top of the bolt head so the bolts lock against the manifold so you only have the lower nut to worry about :)
Motorspares sell them apparently.
I re-use kits lol, last one the washer had broke down & that was the cause!
If your struggling I'll come help you fit a new one if you get one, I don't have any spares now!
My previous ph1 had done 125k, was fine. Didn't drink oil & was still a well paced car.
Current ones on 104k & the same applies, though I can't see this one making 125k due to future build
So had a delivery today, as theres not alot I can do I unwrapped it, looked at it and took photos and scratched my head.
ECU
Loom
So basically an ED kit with out the AEM, covered 3k. What can go wrong?
What happens next;
@AlexW has as always offered to help out (tell me what to do...
Depends on which cat iirc, if you have a twin sensor cat it's about 2" longer than the single sensor cat.
But yes, it's only the centre that changes Due to the cat length
You'd never be happy with a ph2 though Danny.
@Greeny. ill keep my eyes peeled, I like bargain hunting for s**t cars
You guys coming to the meet on the 28th at bury? @DannyR bring the tripod!
The conversion isn't hard at all, making all the buttons work is. Mine isn't fully functional like for like. But then mine is missing several bits so it doesn't bother me.
The hazard switch is the worst bit, @AlexW told me how to do it. It half worked but we've never actually spent any time...
Had some time today so aerocatched the front bumper, lost the pins for mine so purchased some fake catches to borrow the pins.
Bit of a marmite thing, but the bumper holds on properly now. Well kinda, needs some fine tuning to align it a little better along the wheel/arch side.
Messing around...
Extra daily milage must suck! understand the volvo idea now!
Side repeaters/orange indicator things will be posted tonight at last :) just put them in the van so I dont forget!
Are you going to be pretty select over who you sell it to scott? as in, if you think they wont look after it then you wouldnt sell it to them?
I could never buy something like this, im to destructive for a start! plus It wouldnt stay clean lol
