+1 for Gaz here! They were great, just wanted to go to the next level. Would have considered these new ones had I known a couple of months ago

I had the Gaz GHA on my 172 previously; no major complaints. I replaced them for Spax RSX as the car is now track-only

I think Llewellyn had some 428's for sale recently, not sure if they're sold though.

They likely use different time sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol

People are still deploying VMware? ;-)

NorthloopCup - as requested, see rudimentary picture below. The photos above do not show the top collet which holds the spring in. I need to find out whether I'm missing a part in the configuration below. What must have happened is that the top collet (or whatever holds the top of the spring)...

Yep! Need to figure out how it all goes back together when the struts are ready.

No, just my hands and a couple of spanners!

As promised...

OK - that's good news on the rebuild. Am waiting to hear back from Spax. I suspect that it won't be cheap, hence the expensive lesson... just want to get them fixed and on the car properly. Will get some pics up shortly.

I used GAZ on track, the GHA ones though... whilst I had great fun, the spring rates were nowhere near enough for proper abuse.

OK, hands-up, I was very stupid and I blame nobody but myself. Long story short, I used to have a GAZ GHA setup with KTec solid top mounts; I sold my old GAZ coilovers and must have sent off the solid top mount spacer with the old shocks to the new owner. In my haste, I lined the new Spax RSX...

I'd say that's a great deal. http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/car-tyres/federal/595-rs-r-%28semi-slick%29/195-50-r15-82-w.html

Awesome progress, am looking forward to seeing more too!

This. If you don't want any problems, go and see someone who is well respected and has the correct tools.

Am tempted to make the trip.

The motor still in there?

Like a boss!

Welcome mate - get into the Wales section and get yourself to some meets

I'm up for any time. Really want to get it done

Sorry to hear that, mate. Any info on the driveshafts would be very much appreciated. Cheers. Rhys

Chip-mk1 - how are you getting on with this project? Where are you getting your custom driveshafts made up? I assume Honda box one end, Renault the other?

bump! Can we organise something this year? Cheers !

Enjoyed the read mate! Welcome! That looks like an "honest" car to me! Shame about the sller!

That's the problem with RAID 0 - you lose one disk, you lose them all. Any chance you can boot to Linux and 'dd' the entire block device? That way you may be able to reconstruct the vast majority of the data.

Loud exhaust on a diesel clio? :)

Do you have the same problems if you're plugged directly into the router?

Haha, I have two sets already, was more concerned that they could even be refurbed!

Wow, glad everyone got out safe! Are the 2118's salvageable?

I bought the Polo radiator... http://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.php?id=SE310&model=POLO&make=VOLKSWAGEN And this SPAL 12" sucker fan... http://www.proalloy.co.uk/cgi-bin/sitewise.pl?act=det&pt=342&p=349&id=proalloy
