Pfff, mine idles at 5k :tongueclosed:

Ahh right, must have been a weak one :confused:

How many times did you hit the limiter the day it went do you think?

As said, pot luck. They like to drop valves for fun with high revs. I tend not to rev them all the way to the limit (power is gone before then anyway).

If it's had a new sensor have you checked the abs ring? You say it's had a new driveshaft? Maybe the abs ring is wrong/broken.

The Honda guys that are racing will be using the MFactory plated diffs, they're not comparable to Quaifes. My Quaife has been perfectly fine on track, as said the only time it'll spin up is when the wheel is unloaded i.e. in the air. Even in snow i've managed to leave 11's down the road.

Not white, but the wheels are :tongueclosed:

172 Cup is guaranteed to have no air con mate. Unless it's one of the very rare ones that had it.

Yeah pretty much.

If you're capable of removing the engine, then you can do the belts yourself.

One thing you'll notice with the 197 Brembo's is that the pedal travel will be longer. I've heard that from a few people who have them. Nothing too major though.

RBF600 doesn't have that high of a wet boiling point tbh. Try Castrol SRF, it's expensive but it has the highest wet boiling point of pretty much all the fluids around. If the pedal is quite long then you also have air. You'll need to activate the abs pump whilst bleeding using Clip or the...

Hunter is only as good as the person using it.

He's let you off by the sound of it.

Use Corrosion Block on them when you get them back from being refurbished. They will stay like new if you top it up every 6-12 months. http://www.acf-50.co.uk/marine.htm

Have you cleaned up the earth wires underneath the carpet/plastic trim at the rear of the boot, just under the rear lights? These rubber gromets can leak. You might be able to follow the water staining down inside to the earth points. Also the connectors inside the rear lights can be a bit...

And the patience of a saint to get the new rubber boot back on the rack, especially on the driver's side.

@f0xy is a whizz with electronic dashes and sensors, he might know.

Looks mega. Can you send the fuel gauge to the AIM as well?

Amazing daily driver!

No i don't use slicks i have the DZ03G and then Toyo R1R for wet. You'll be able to get the Dunlop slicks used from some of the Mini Challenge teams, they use the 185/580/15 slicks in one of their classes.

Erm.... yeah i think so. You need each cylinder that you're testing at TDC though, so 1 and 4 will be at TDC together and then 2 and 3. Also need to stop the engine turning over by locking the crank, usually do this in gear if it were still in the car. You can then listen for where the air is...

Leakdown test is like a reverse compression test where you use compressor to pump air into the sparkplug hole and it measures air loss. Requires a bit more than a compression test, but it does give you a better idea of the condition.

You're not meant to, but it's never enforced.

Do a leakdown test because even if you have a cylinder which has a leaking valve, it will still continue to build pressure.

If you want the best, go for slicks. If not slicks then Dunlop Direzza DZ03G.

Don't tell me you were trying to undo the isofix bolts by their Torx head, instead of the hex head?

Yeah if you have the airbag module for it.

Yeah they are interchangeable. I think the wire lengths are the same on the 182.

Definitely half a job by the sound of it. OP, get them to do it again and remove/fit new bleed nipples. They should be able to get them out with stud extractors and heat.
