This will be my first trackday using this car, always felt like I should track it at some point and since the actual track car is still in bits, summer is disappearing and I have the saab as backup, it's time. So booked Cadwell Park (my favourite) for the 12/9 and fitted some bits I had...

Not been giving the RB much exposure recently, mainly due to my complete loss of interest in photography. I seem to of lost the ability to not only take photos, but have any sort of patience in developing them.... but here's the car as it's been used recently, spec: - Bilstein B14's (now...

Wish I'd never sold mine, love a Williams.

Change of wheel again, think I may have issues! lol! picked these up, slapped some AD08R's on and popped them on the car. I think it needs more lows to truly pull them off, but as a daily I need to keep it practical at the mo, so that will be a test for later! anyway, few pics from trip to...

Wheel change due to recent trackday and needing the wet tyres for the track car, kinda love it! Cheers Ben

Did some more bits to the car today and rolled up to the end of the lane to get a couple of slightly better pics than those in my project thread. Cleans up okay and although I was keeping it standard..........I haven't, had to stick my mark on it :smile: Odyssey by Ben Cooper, on Flickr...

Morning all I'm getting confused at to what stereo I should have in my later model phase 1 172 (Y plate) My old X plate phase 1 had a tape deck but not a tuner list one, looked older and more in keeping with the phase 1 interior. Can anyone shed any light on what should be fitted to what age...

Acquired this at the weekend, cheers @boomerbang2006 for the sale, very easy transaction. I've wanted another phase 1 for a bit but frankly just haven't needed one and was supposed to be concentrating on the Mk1 172 track car this year, but all that went out the window after few beers on...

So my service book is now full and Adam informs me they can't be had new anymore, what's everyone doing /recommend? Cheers Ben

Not posted pics of the car in a while, few changes lass went into the back of me at the lights few weeks back, only scuffed the bumper but it highlighted some other paint issues i'd been meaning to get sorted so she paid for the rear and I got the front end done as well whilst car was in, along...

........and gave the old girl a quick wash. cant wait to get her back on the road :) looking bit neglected inside, someones moved in! washed drive reorganised

I have FK coilovers that run 2.5" ID springs in 7" flavour. they also have 3" helper springs I want to buy some higher lb springs for track use, so my question is what's my best option? leave the standard helpers in there and buy the 375lb I want in normal 7" fitment. Or should I buy some say...

Had a boiling hot and thoroughly excellent day at Blyton Sunday just gone, crap morning session and then borrowed some slicks (mine were dead and not sourced more yet) for afternoon and the good times rolled!

Acquired a PMS kit for a 172 other week for a decent price Fitted it to the mk1 track car this weekend with basically no modifications (small filing out of one hole on the base which I think was perhaps drilled wrong anyway as its was offset from the others) Pretty sure I'm the first person to...

Right finished the bulk of the work I wanted to get done this weekend, so I'm going to stick my neck out and say its done (no project ever is and even typing now there is 'tinkering' I have planned) however, its ready for track is the point! and in full marmite spec @TheEvilGiraffe and...

been a bit useless keeping the project thread up to date, i'll sort that tomorrow but basically its done, MOT last weekend and Tax kicked in first of May so road testing/shakedown has begun. couple of niggles uncovered, mostly due to the massive amount of castor the 182 wishbones have put on...

Myself and Mark were up at Cratcliffe Tor for some bouldering yesterday. Pulled up nose to nose and thought may as well take a couple of quick snaps on the camera phone RB - Sportlines, Cup Turinis with T1R's, 15mm front, 10mm rear spacers wth TPi bolts and RS192 P1 - Sportlines, Willy...

f**k sake, why? :rasp:

Likely to be the phase 1 UCH thing? I know its not UCH but its basically same thing as the later models aint it? key starts car, button in car locks/unlocks doors fine. tried the re-sync procedure, get it to light constantly on but the car then doesn't read the key when I press the button on...

I press the recirc button to help keep the windows demisted in the winter without having to have the full bore fans/demist setting on and it works a treat however after about 5 minutes it auto offs and I have to press the button again?? is this normal and if so why the hell would it be? lol!!!

Clocked it today when I popped in as my car was getting bonnet catch done at Renault round the corner. Loads of carbon, Trophy Recaros and looked very clean. just not keen on the wheels and mudflaps.

Bought this back in October 2013 from Danny-Ace on the forums, he'd ebayed it randomly as a none runner (aux system removed for s/c mock up and all wiring sold) so I snapped it up for a few quid. Its since sat on stock in a mates lockup since then over Christmas etc with me having little or no...
