Is it the same box?

Oh aye it's real.

I read your thread bhm and all I could think was eek. Mine vibrates like a bastad and I'm currently replacing the gearbox as it has a 2 cracks and a hole on it and I think thats thanks to the OEM dogbone bushes. Just have to get the car back on the road and test it.

Cool. Just realised that the larger one just hammers out lol :o

My car rattled like something not right when I pushed the fun pedal. I thought it was the exhaust but that appears to be secure. Then I found this http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1485 and I thought maybe this will solve the issue. I came on here because I've got the new bushes...

Thanks for the responses guys. It's greatly appreciated. Busy cracking on today while the weather is nice.

Heh aye. I was a member. Doesn't seems like a year ago since I last paid. Just renewed my subscription and it's taking ages to come on :(

So far I've removed the driveshafts, airbox, battery and ecu. I'm assuming the subframe has to be dropped too. Is this the case? If anyone has a guide on either removing the gearbox or dropping the subframe it would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't it dead easy to swap the decat on a 182 anyway. I can swap the 172 cat/decat in under an hour but that's only becuase I've had it off so many times.

Haha. To this day I don't know. I'm lucky they didn't knack up the piston heads or the valves. I had problems with two of my HT leads too. the rubber on the was worn and was earthing on the engine. You have to remove the plenum to change the plugs and leads. Rather than buy standard leads I...

Haha. Makes my problem seem like nothing. I think getting it welded is the best idea. Just need to price it up.

Change them before this happens

Found this loverly little crack on my gearbox Priced up a new gearbox and I think it's going to have to be a repair. I've heard theres a paste you can get which is supposed to be spot on possibly having it welded. I dunno how it happened. There's nothing near it and there isn't a mark on...

I can clearly see the twisted one on mine. Just wondered if the inline one was hidden away somewhere, lol.

Cool. Cheers for the response. I'm positive the way I have it will be fine. It just keeps rattling although I think it may be the lower engine mount :S Bloody car.

Has that ever been driven? lol.

That 172 cup looks abit high off the ground.

What is the difference between inline lower engine mount and twisted lower engine mount Am I right in thinking the inline one was for the 172 ph1 and some early models of the 172 ph2 and the twisted one is a revised part for the later 172's and the 182's?

I've put my decat back on and I'm not too sure I've put it on properly. I've put 1 into 2(the cup) in the hole on the manifold. On the other side where the decat is I've put 3 onto 1 then 4(the spring), then 5, 6 and 7. Canny confusing like but I'm sure someone will know what I'm on...

Maybe it hates you.

I did notice a bit of a difference when I fitted the decat. Honestly I thought it was ll in my head. Now that the cat is back on my car sounds a bit... erm, soft. I miss the sound. It doesn't feel as quick either. Even my girlfriend noticed the difference. I was under the impression that any...

You gettin limited or no connectivity error? Check you entered the correct key. There's 2 on the back. Make sure you havn't entered the fusion key. Also. Try connecting via ethernet cable. Open this webpage http://api.home/ and go to advanced, continue to advanced. You'll then get prompted for...

I've got PE2's atm and the tread looks like this. On the Michelin site they've got the PE1's looking like this.

Cheers lads. Think I'll give bettablast a visit as I live in wallsend. You ever seen any of their work Eddie?

Anyone know anywhere in and around the newcastle area that refurb wheels and do a good job. Cheapness would be a nice bonus too. Thank you in advance.

Mine has stopped :D It was the battery. Slackened the two bolts made sure the battery was in secure then re-tightened them. I'm soo happy :D

I had a knocking noise on full right lock. Then I had a bit of an accident on a slippy road last year and bent the lower arm on a curb. Replaced the lower arm and since then the car no longer makes a noise on full lock. Is there a chance we're cunfusin knockin with creekin? LOL :)

Oh yeah. A s**t load more than a 172. The person who designed the system must own a big engined sports car.

Aw man. I get this problem too. I sounded like it was comming from the dash on the passenger side. Now it's a lot louder. I notice it the most pulling away from slow speeds in 1st and 2nd. I don't even have to put my foot down for it to make the noise. I can be taking it really easy. It's a...

No. It was in anger I swear :o
