Technically it's a fault, but it doesn't affect anything so it's not worth replacing unless the noise gets on your tits. They all do it.

Seriously, I wouldn't post that on here.

I've been a couple of times, awesome track, you'll love it. 16 nutters in karts piling into that right hand hairpin after the straight (which is now the 2nd corner btw) means utter destruction. The marshalls there are pretty laid back so you can get away with quite a lot of shoving and...

I love that

It's like those whistles only dogs can hear, but for wheels. Nah really it's line up the holes in the wheel with the holes in the hub.

I personally wouldn't blow it in along the arch either, by the time that's repaired/primed/sanded down/based up you're going to be right up next to line you're trying to fade it out on, which to me says having a hard edge along the arch.

Looks like there's a tidy car underneath all those horrible mods at least. Welcome btw.

I am 19 with one years no claims, so I've already done all this ;)

Have you read about the top mount knocking issue yet? They make a racket and it involves either grinding or fitting a washer to sort it.

I'd rather have a mint cup/172 than an average 182 for the same monies. Someone's ripping you off then! Should be zero difference between a 172 and 182 to insure.

Spot on finish on that. Are you time served? Out of interest btw, I'm not time served yet myself lol

Nope they're all cack, it's not 1997 anymore.

Projectors only come if you ask for cornering lights, no matter what the model.

Yep that's pretty much what a proper bodyshop will do.

There's a thread in this section about some of the older ones being poorly designed and starting to seize, it's cured in the new ones apparantly as they changed their supplier for the bearings.

I've not checked anything at the gearstick end of things yet, I will have to have a look, what's the easiest way to get into it all?

That thing was on a traffic cops programme. Some bird got pulled over driving it, sniffer dog found traces of heroin under the seats, so the owner was probably smacked up when they did all that to it.

Make sure you're getting brand new if you buy KTEC. I have AST on mine and have no complaints.

That's awful! Looks like something a 5 year old designed. Also who lined up that rear bumper/arch, Stevie wonder?

That is lovely. Well played.

Proper bodyshop needed IMO.

Yup.

Have you polished it recently?

First off, I had a search but all it really brings up is stuff about short shifters etc. and broken clutches My question is, how much "play" should there be where the gear linkage bolts onto the clutch pin? Reason I ask is my gearstick feels very slack, there's quite a bit of play in gear...

^I was just going to say, was an Oompa Loompa test driving it? It'll have a turbo badge because it'll be turbo'd, strangely.

It should be nowhere near as stiff as an RS clutch. My 1.2s clutch was miles lighter than the one in my 172.

Ah, for a favour is different.

Bob on to some people is a disaster to others. No offence to you, but I can't see how £150 for all that can possibly be anything better than cack. Prove me wrong.

Good results.

Try doubling that. Pics needed of this paint job.
