    Noise

    Daft question but it's not catching on the arch liner is it ? Could also be the tyres if you've bought a set with tyres on them, if the previous car had no camber the tyre would be worn differently to what you have set.

    Ktec stealth... loud to quiet - how?

    As above I've got the 2.5" silenced system and it's by no means quiet, it's boomy to some degree (People sat in the back struggle to have a convo) Always wondered if a 2.25" straight through section would sound better.

    Clutch issue?

    I had this when the release bearing was on it's way out, also accompanied by a whirling/light grinding noise in the bay, lasted around 10k before it let go completely. Would certainty be worth trying the cable first, just because of the cost of a clutch change (Or the swearing involved with...

    Rear Exhaust Mount Bolt Spinning

    From memory 2 of them are easily accessible from the top, I just cut the captive nut's off and replaced them with stainless items.

    Comment by 'mantis946' in media 'undertray cover'

    Passenger side front wheel arch just next to the horn, the cut out lines up with the cut out in the chassis leg for access to the sub frame bolt.

    Wire Diagram PH1

    Hiya, Does anybody have a wire diagram for a PH1 engine bay loom, fitted some parts yesterday and appears I've disturbed a wire - Car is cranking and fuel pump priming but it's not firing up (Fuse's are fine, no immobilizer and the fuel cut off hasn't popped) Cheers Paul

    182 exhaust manifold.

    You just need to drop the subframe down a bit, there was a 182 manifold fitting guide in the guide section with pictures which may be helpful. Link: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-manifold-coversion-on-172.313845/

    182 exhaust manifold.

    Hmm if the lug has completely snapped off the only option for repair would be welding I imagine. May be easier then removing the manifold, dropping subframe etc

    182 exhaust manifold.

    Do you have a picture ? The fitting kit (springs etc) actually come with a cup which slips into the manifold - but it often looks part of the manifold due to rust.

    The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

    exactly 315 miles to 41 litres - about 35mpg real world. Not sure if that's normal or broken though !

    1*2 side skirt loose

    Is the sill bent ? Mine folded once and it pushes the skirt away from the car and refuses to hook on.

    Brake Squeek - Taking Front Pads Out...

    I've seen a few seized slider pins from copper grease that hasn't faired well, apparently it causes rubber seals to shrink, which on the sliders would cause water ingress etc I use silicone paste, it's expensive from what I recall, but it'll last for any future jobs

    Springs for the MOT

    The cooksports don't look too different from OEM so you may get away with it.

    Snapped handbrake cable

    Top tip I learned the hard way: Don't try to ghetto fit it by pulling the handbrake lever arm to the cable, they snap like cheese.

    Snapped handbrake cable

    As above, Pagid cable for my PH1 from ECP, perfect length for me.

    Brakes

    For a none-sport ? I have m1144's and they've squealed since the day I got them, seems common reading about. They do bite well and did fine on track (I'm sure it's sub par compared to dedicated pads) The squeal get's old really fast, I'm going back to brembo pads when these die.

    Advice Needed

    Tuition is certainly on my list of things to do, tee sides my closest track living in Newcastle, but I don't believe they offer tuition. Crofts would probably be my closest, but think it was certainly worth having a go before hand :)

    Advice Needed

    A video from the later laps on the day, the track was closed for a half hour as a 172's wheel came off, so it's a little dark. The first corner after leaving the pit's was giving me issues, unsure if it's the uneven road or just too much speed into the corner. The tyres are around 32 PSI front...

    Advice Needed

    I do suspect it's a combination of all the things you mention, unfortunately the car's my daily at the moment so I daren't venture into coilovers and bump steer correctors. When I originally built the car I was aiming for OEM+ so I'm hoping with some good rubber and tuition, I can make do with...

    Advice Needed

    I was actually secretly hoping it was going to piss down yesterday so the tyres where at home, but alas it was sunny all afternoon ! They didn't seem to bad while I was out learning the track (Admittingly not carrying much speed, I nearly got lost on my first lap) but after warming them up, it...

    Cheers everybody ! looking forward to getting out on some decent tyres and reporting back, then working my way up the mods. I believe I may have the bug !

    Advice Needed

    I'll give it a bash, it's a shame the standard wheels look completely lost on the PH1 arches. Does the wear across the tread of the front's look normal ? The rears seem fairly even, but the fronts seem to of had the edges of the tread eaten away on the outside. Sign I need camber ?

    Advice Needed

    Would you recommend taking the front's off entirely ? I've heard having a wider rear track can encourage understeer, and they are a nightmare to remove :)
