Welded in eyebolt plates just behind handbrake area... or that's what I'm about to do!

I soiled my pants and I was watching from the comfort of my sofa! Great reactions Tony

Do those top mounts allow for camber adjustment? It's not obvious to me that camber bolts are being used... thanks!

Nobody can fault you for trying... you've pointed it out a few times! :-)

Spotted either a 172 Cup or a 182 Arctic with black wheels, couldn't see it properly as it was the other side of the road, looked nice!

540

That was round the corner from me!

Guess he meant non-Cup!

Well, why would you want or need to do this? :)

If you're thinking of "upgrading" save your money mate! It's not worth the hassle!

Would really like to see 20mm fronts w/ ET43 if anyone has them?

No it's double skinned I think. Thanks!

The weight of this bonnet is unreal, literally one finger to lift... I've made sure the bonnet pins are very tight to avoid any flapping around. Drove it from Cardiff -> Basingstoke last night and had no problems at all.

OK so a small update, things have slowed down due to a house purchase but doing what I can! Managed to get hold of a fibreglass bonnet from a race car, not in amazing condition but will get it repaired and wrapped again. Many thanks to Andrewclio for driving over to help me fit it, great guy...

A lot of questions have already been answered, time and time again, but if everyone just searched and didn't keep posting then we wouldn't have so much of a vibrant community. I often think that if you're going to ask something, do a quick search (google is usually easier) but what does it...

You *may* be able to drop the exhaust manifold between the block and the firewall/guard or whatever it's called but I wouldn't like to say for sure. When i tried to see how far off it was (with the head on) there was no chance it was going to get down there, hence I dropped the subframe. Good luck

This. I love my Ktec super sport but it does get loud on the motorway. It won't be on the road much longer though so I'll put up with it!

Yep, if you want an agreed value then make sure it's in writing

Herzlich willkommen Daniel!

Oh and make sure you note that one bolt has a smaller nut so that you can get to it more easily :-)

Lol, half an hour tops?

Pic here, shows two bolts on the back of the caliper and the four bolts that you remove: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r110/mgsweede/P1000448.jpg

Yes, you remove the rear caliper (two bolts at the back), then remove the disc/bearing after undoing the hub nut, then you can see the four bolts that hold the stub axel onto the car. Remove the original bolts, then pull the axel off. Insert the hub spacer inbetween and push the new bolts...

The direction I'm going is as light as possible, i.e. totally stripped, custom loom, custom dash, lightweight battery, polycarbs all round, fibreglass bonnet/tailgate/doors and then 210-220bhp under the hood. I'm no race car driver and the car won't be in any races, but I want to have some real...

Wow, is that right? That's interesting... I'm seriously torn between tuning N/A or going turbo instead!

Thanks, Dan!

Hi All, I've searched the forum but couldn't get 100% clarification... will a 182 cylinder head fit directly onto my 172 cup block? I'm looking at purchasing one and having it ported, polished, new valves, new valve springs etc, but don't want to do all this work to find out that I'd need a 182...

Definitely a bad earth, I had this the other day, ended up being wiring underneath my dash that had come unplugged, just by the fuse box!

FLOL! This will definitely be happening!!

More annoying on the track... one handed steering and flicking the indicator! lol!
