Damn right it does. Do you batch edit the photos? I've only just got a copy so am trying to work out what the best way to make hundreds of similar photos look a lot better.

I got two genuine ones for my 182 recently for £54 including delivery. Take of the central heatshield, slaken off the 13mm nut, take out the old cables, remove the white bit on the cable which goes into the bodyshell, some wiggling with mole grips helps. Unclip from the back of the caliper...

@NorthloopCup absolutely perfect mate, thank you! Just found some specs deep in a document which on first glance match those above. I'm in no rush for the prep work so will get everything measured properly. Assume this isn't something I can do at home and is best done by a machine shop. £12! I'm...

Low oil pressure sounds great! Will check everything. Eventually car's going to have low pressure boost so needs to be strong without trickling oil pressure. 438's will be swapped out again for this though.

Cheer Mark, great info. Pretty certain James had the block measured and it's still 82.7 so standard rings. All other internals will will be from my cup so will be checked when out. I was thinking of trying to get hasting rings from the US. Remember what size feeler off hand? I've been through...

I absolutely deliver Daniel! I actually have 6 weeks off but have allocated this time at the start to get the engine done flat out. All in the preparation!

Evening chaps Going to be rebuilding the engine in my cup during a week in May as it's using oil. Picked up a block today from @Mini182 which is going to be the base for it. I've never built an engine before I'm confident I can do it no problems, just need the right guidance and hoping you can...

Well thats depressing :S I've got to do it now I've bought the bits. I shall conquer.

That includes the new ball joints!

Ahh, I was thinking of a piece of threaded rod so I'll throw that out the window! Will maybe have to chuck the garage a tenner to use their press. I'm saving myself over £30 doing this!

Evening chaps. I'm going for a suspension refresh on the 182 so it's not a pile of sloppy dump to drive. I've done all the other bits before but never the wishbone bushes. I'd like to do it all at home if poss unless I definitely need a press. What's the deal with getting the old ones out and...

Could get a good 182 for £1500 if you're savy with what you buy and jump on a bargain. Worst 182 I've ever owned was on 80k, had dephaser rattle, terrible body work and smelt like balls. Best one I've owned had done the same mileage but had been seriously cared for by the previous owner and...

how would you suggest getting the tripod off. I've tried to get mine off in the past with no success.

@Jason_E you used lightroom on those? Great photos!

mmmm CSL. Common as Corsas at KFC they were.

I remember reading ages ago about the turbo nuts coming loose. Looked like a right pain to just tighten them up with the clearance.

Although I've been following this for quite a long time I've just been a silent observer. Really have done a cracking job on the car, one of only a few people who haven't done a drive in drive out boost build which is great to see. Much inspiration to progress to boost but hopefully without the...

That's a sign from the car gods.

Have you done him for attempted murder yet? Thought I saw this on FBI files earlier. Surely this is criminal damage or vandalism? I suggest driving past with a medieval catapult on a trailer and launching rocks back.

Not holding back on this are you Stu! All guns blazing!

I've got Clip. Can always pop down if you want.

The farm clio is now forsale! £250 takes it. Think it's on about 160k now, doesn't use any oil, turbo is still great. Has signs of early fuel pump failure. Sunroof leaks unfortunately. Interior still in great condition now! MOT until may, can't think of a reason why it wouldn't pass. Had new...

Yeah they went at the weekend, OZs from my old DCI for cheap tyres. No no, chopped it down to 5" after.

Glad to see Sam's ph1 about! Also really great to see a non 172 or 182 project thread for once!

When I first started working in total loss I wrote off every single one of these bonnet catches I ever saw if it'd hit the roof. After time they showed up less and less frequently.

It's the best way of checking tracking! You just measure how far the front and back of the wheel are from the line to see what toe it's got. The next car is up for discussion here, likely a BMW of some form though I think. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/upgrade-time-soon-%C2%A310k-budget.790761/

Just a small update on the car. Not much point in putting up a project thread as the car is just a stop gap. I've been through the SH now and it had the same owner from new until about 130k with what appears to be a no expense spared approach which is great. Even brake and coolant fluid changes...

That was me in the other 182.

@Dr Jekyll Me too matey but on the budget these were irresistible ;) get some discount when I order my roof scoop too :D Can't say I attached pipes or deflector plates to the back though as on the first outing the brakes came in almost on fire ha.

Yes washer is required. Fairly certain it goes on the bottom though. It's a rather thick one. If I remember I'll measure up the mount I have in the garage tomorrow. Remind me.
