Cracking! Should be easy as the scuttle is off. Is there a bit of room for manoeuvre with the pipes? ​Cheers

Anyone?

This looks like one of your less successful weight saving techniques Kelv.

I'm about to fit a Cup master cylinder and Cup racer brake lines which require one of the rear ports to be blanked but where can I get one from? i've searched eBay etc to no avail.

What's the steering feel like Phil? What's the total cost?

858mm springs to mind.

I don't know the full ins and outs but I don't think the 172 gear is that big a deal. Have a look at Clio Squeeks thread.

Lol. Straight as a dye now. ​Good to see you getting some spanner action in.

The crab's better.

I wouldn't bother. They look garbage.

Buy an RSTuner and the airbag module. Turn the lights off and sell on. You don't even need the activation code.

Dot 4 fluid will help, Castrol SRF if you have the budget. Arch liners and fogs out to help cooling will also make a big difference. I run CL RC5+ with Brembo HC and never had a single issue.

Cheers Guys. I'll have a crack with Wonder Wheels first then IronX if required.

I've been grinding and drilling spot welds from my interior for weeks. Now I'm done there are loads of patches around the doors and boot where metal shards have sat on the paint and started to rust. The car hasn't had a good clean for ages either. I don't want to spend a mint and I'm not...

Dexron II required.

Nice! Wheels will let it down IMO when finished. It'll need some chunky, aggressive jobs maybe MO's and a decent drop.

I'm going to dribble over this when I collect my doors if you don't mind. ​What do you do for a living out of interest to give you the free time?

I tested the union that fits into the Clio PAS pump into the Saxo pump last week and they appear to be the same thread. Is this correct as I don't have the saxo line?

I've removed the engine fuse box cover as I want to fit an open fine like the Cup racers to just in front of the near side turret. There isn't actually a huge amount inside the fuse box, probably 1/3 to 1/4 of the space available. The car is a pure track car so do I; 1. Attach to the in ear...

Don't split it Dan. Get the commuter you were talking about and keep the Clio. And if you do split it, text me first and I'll make some space in the boot of the M3! ;) Serious btw.

I've amended the above for you ;)

I'll second that. Lee is a top guy. Did work on my 172 when Doncaster_K9 had it and that has gone a bit flat but I think Phil asked for a cheap job. He's done work on both of my M3's and it's been spot on.

You might be poo with the spanners Jimbo but you can certainly pour water over them.

As Daniel-San said, swap all of your ancillaries over and all will be well. A D4f is a D4f, if it was that different then it would be something else. No disrespect to your mate but I find a lot of mechanics don't know a huge amount about the specifics of a model/car.

Whip the three 16mm bolts off of the cambelt cover and show him the "chain"! All were belts.

Does the heater panel have 3 dials on it? If so, you'll at least need the interior loom and heater matrix as the heater vents are motorised on climate whereas they're cable operated on the non climate cars I think. You might even need the roof loom. I think i have a roof loom you can have...

I need to remove the last bits of sound deadening and spray the interior. Where are the bolts to undo the matrix?

Having looked at the reverse of this i.e. remove aircon in full for standard blower, I'd say the easiest option is a full swap from a climate car. If the difference in climate and aircon is anything like climate and poverty spec whic I think it may be, you will need dash loom and control panel...

Add me to this list. I bought an E46 M3 then an E92 M3 then bought my cherished 172 back from a Mate and proceeded to strip the living daylights out of it. I loved it before for it's looks and the fact that it was my first quick car. That sentimentality has now gone and I love it for being...

Oh Phil. Bad Times! I reckon that Brummie owes you a freebie to fix it ;) What's the advantage to this over a Saxo pump?
