Cheers mate, just gradually refreshing/upgrading things along the way. Told myself i would'nt do any mods apart from suspension when i first bought it after getting abit carried away on my MPS

Well hoses have just arrived from MTC and i have to say they seem very good quality for the price, Mikalor clamps also came on Monday from Ramair so now all i have to do is fit them over the weekend (weather and work dependant)

I just fucked Reno off after i had a rear shock fail in under 9months and around 8k miles, wanted the car for the day to inspect it

Yeah i got them after speaking with Tony and him saying he used them as wets on the race car, could plow through water and it didnt even so much as twitch

Well done the balljoints y.day and what a pain in the ass it was getting the pinch bolt out but nothing my lump hammer didnt sort. Ordered this little lot last night along with Mikalor clamps ready to change with the rad over the bank holiday weekend

Yeah i ran them 33/31 yrs back on my old cup, hated them when brand new but loved them once scrubbed in abit

Small update (no pics) bought a VERY VERY good condition K-tec stealth from Kelv so fitted that to the car, iv recently discovered iv got a coolant leak so iv got a New Nissens rad sat in the shed ready to fit but im also going to do silicone coolant hoses at the same time. Just had the usual...

There's only 2 settings on the newer ones if im not mistaken, try it on the softest setting first (hole closest to the end of arb) and see how you find it.. if its not wuite stiff enough for you then go to hardest setting

I got this Dewalt and its done everything iv asked of it

I just use either Renault's oil or Shell Helix, i change mine wvery 6k at the most anyways aa tbh its not alot of money

Well nothing major has happened since i last posted, just general servicing i.e oil & filter. Bough a ramair panel filter and fitted that a few weeks ago. Went in for MOT 2weeks ago and the drivers side handbrake cable snapped so i ordered a pair from RPD which arrived quickly as always, then...

External on my 53 plate 172, changed it a few months back on 68k and it was pretty minging when i poured the petrol out of it so not a bad idea to change for the sake of a few quid

I asked matthew ashmore which is who owned the black car i posted and he mentioned it also if you look in the grou p buy section someone offered a GB last year and also mentioned the thin nuts for these wheels like so...

You will either need to get theels machined to fit standard bolts or go for a small nut on stud & nut conversion

The project thread is on here somwhere aswel..

Iv been thinking about these wheels for a couple of months now after seeing them on a track clio

Yeah you can just disconnect one side on the Whiteline aswel to the same affect

Cheers mate, was just kind of a worst case senario as i was thinking to buy a wnd hand box and get that rebuilt to swap straight over so the car wasnt off the road.. cheers for the honesty

Not been on here for quite a while, shot to see the 2nd build from the 'GOD' went to complete s**t.. didnt see the lynch mob out for him tho Good luck with any future racing etc

Whitelone used to be 3way adjustment, i had one on my old CUP 4yrs ago and that was 3 way.. improved the car loads in the dry but i found the back end awful when it was damp/wet so took it off and sold it

Could you give me an idea of price wise for a FULL rebuild i.e synchro's bearings and doing the bolted diff mod on a 172 box please... PM me if you rather

NO but it handles just aswel if not better than a 172, obvioysly not as fast but the lil jap things handle

I take it you've not driven a ZC31 SS then? Absolutely great handling car with next to zero body roll

My current 172 had budgets on all round (were quite new) so thought id may aswel get some use out of them and surprisingly they weren't actually as bad as i was expecting I probs spend more on tyres for the mrs car than i do my own (Swift Sport) and has Michelin PS3 up front with PE2 on the...

Every little saving is better than nowt, that's what it's all about when doing this over buting the K-tec

I have infact sent a email asking if they sell the filter spec similar to K-tec as iv just been out and measured my bay and even with the Medium Filter with the built in pipe looks to be a tight squeeze in the bay

Im personally going for silicone piping anyways, just showing other options for filter's depending which route you go down.. Ramair website it's self is the cheapest place ATM to get the filter as they have discount codes available

Also to add loggyboy the one you posted can be had for £17.50 direct from Ramair

Tbf i'm looking at getting this one (just need to check i have clearance)

Yep you get them parts with it Imprezaworks.. saves buying 1 connector plus gives you a bracket to bolt it in the same position as K-tec's
