Hi, I have an inlet manifold and my calipers which look like they have been painted with a spoon. Whats the best way to strip the paint off so I can redo it please? Thanks in advance

yeah its got camber bolts but i'm not planning on putting them back in. it was sitting low when when i got it but i'm putting all new suspension in and lifting it abit from where is currently is. Will give the Deox a go. Its in the post. Will look at new bearings after lock down if i need...

I thought that but the other side is the same. Slight overhang. It’s upto the shoulder though. All a learning curve for me.

Yeah. Both sides. I got two in case I bodged it up.

Progress. Hubs next.

Thought about it but I don't have a press or anything like that.

Can i soak my Hubs in this stuff without it damaging the bearings?

Its a 182 with both cup packs. 60mm front strut spacing 15mm abs rings etc. previous owner(s) have just been total cabbages.

From what i've read they can't. Lots of cheap laptops with win 7 on on ebay though. seen a few for like £25

Ok so a little progress. Managed to get the hubs off both sides. As with everything so far lol I had the odd issue and found the odd extra bit. One disc screw i had to drill out another i just had to hammer a bigger hex bit into to get out. The top Camber adjust bolts were a right pain until...

On a twist / different note. I had a BG 182 and now have an Arctic Blue one (3/4). Ultimately i would like a nice RB 182, turini wheels and trendline seats. maybe wishing on getting hens teeth or rocking horse %^& but thats my aim i think.

spent a small fortune lately so this will have to go on a wish list i think. Spent not far off the price of the car on parts and tools so far. Atleast tools i can re-use.

Yeah, I've been looking at them. there is a car tuning company about half mile from my house so was hoping they might do me a solid. You need a windows 7 laptop aswell to use these dont you?

7mm and 15mm i think from what i read. my 15mm has turned up today. just a shame its chucking it down now.

Can this be correct? https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/oenumber/7700415681.html?pg=2 cheapest is like £12

Hope so. Got the 15mm one.

I've got one ordered thanks. Should be here tomorrow hopefully. Thanks very much for the offer though.

Managed to clean it all off and put them back in.

Hopefully. will fit the missing senor and try a new ABS ring before i just fit a driveshaft. need to find out somehow if the ABS has been clipped off though if the lights don't clear. Its all connected up from what i can see (apart from the sensor). Thank you all for all the help so far with this.

So after cleaning all this 🤬 off. I’ve managed to stick it back and and Atleast its now telling me it’s not happy.

Black silcoset I think. Was a right pain as it stuck the pcb to the front face aswell.

So that explains why I don’t see any fault lights. Abs, traction, service and transmission all filled in.

just thought i'd have a quick go at removing some of the trim covers and found the dash has def been off before. 1 screw near windscreen missing aswell as the screw/clip near the door pillars on both sides. will need some of these to put back.

Ok, cheers thought that might be the case. Got a set of clocks coming from Kyle (Big thanks) so will have a go at that. Probably a stupid question but do i need to disconnect the battery when i take the dash off? wont get it all back together in one day so will need to lock the car.

Sorry, missed the question. Yes, I want the abs working again if I can.

Thanks for this Graham. Will def give this a look/go. What else runs through r107? Could this be disconnected?

Thanks. Hub is rusted up aswell. Sensor def worse as it’s also missing on that side. Will try and clean the hub up and paint it before I put it back together.

thanks. i'm abit lost then. if teh abs fuse is the one circled it looked ok when i pulled it out. could R107 be disconnected? any idea where R107 is?

Guess i'll find out soon lol. may try find a set close to whats on it in case

I read somewhere that the ECU stores the mileage and as long as you dont turn the car back on with the clocks out it will set the previous mileage on the replacement set. Was this wrong?
