any other idea's? faulty aircon compressor? carl

yes changed the release bearing. Car drives so much better, smoother gear changes :) carl

the clutch looked fine and there was plenty of meat left on it. should have changed it back then but ah well, live and learn :P carl

thanks :) yeah ive got this one as my road car and the track car (share costs with Bazzon.....well most) as the toy. Not cheap but i love it :) carl

Small update but thought i would add to the thread :) Ever since fitting the engine/box i noticed the clutch was double taking and slipping slightly when changing gear. This frustrated me once i had driven Bazzon's 182 and -Karl-'s 172 and realised how smooth theres were when changing gear. So...

i did spray some soapy water towards the back of the engine at the exhaust manifold, it made the car stutter and cut out with a poof of smoke lol just held my hand behind the engine while it was running. seems to be leaking from near the coilpack. not as far down as the exhaust manifold mind...

My 172 Ph2 is f**ked it seems. Was driving along then suddenly it sounded like a motorbike. Noise is comming from head and its popping and banging like a b*****d from the exhaust. The car actually idles and drives. Also the engine bay stinks of petrol. Any idea? 7Ewjs2ohuho qwLkI92EZWo...

best way to gain experience quickly is to do either a track day or driving experience day. im only 19 and done 4 track days so far. Each one has taught me different things about car control and what to do if things dont go wrong lol. In my second track day i spun off at Croft at 90mph...

Re: PH1 172 Track Car, abit special *ITB update* Few new things - Stud Conversion - Aluminium Anodised Nuts - New Brembo HC discs - New Ferodo DS2500 pads - Track Rod ends - Bottom Ball joints - 15mm Spacers - added a little more camber, getting full setup tomorrow also noticed this...

Not done a english exam or essay since i was 16 at GCSE so not bothered :cool: at least it looked like what it was ment to say.

To get rear camber i am aware you need to use rear spacer shims. Where do you get these from and how do they actually work? thanks carl
