Exactly what i've done. All you need to do to get the cover off the airbag is drill the rivets. Have just whacked a lump of foam underneath the cover so it pushes the cover back up..

That's proper.

What if you can exert more than your weight though?

Yep, bushes on a standard one will be black. On a powerflex, it'll be yellow or purple. Evol engineering is powdercoated. OE mount isn't.

Just lift the jumper and flash her the guns. 'Super strong, love'

Dogbone shouldn't be massively noticeable if paired with standard engine and gearbox mounts... Should just be more reactive on and off the throttle.

I bent a 3ft breaker bar and snapped the joint on another with a length of scaffolding pole slid over it. Force, y0.

If a six foot bar isn't undoing it, then you need to man up. Or take it to a garage and get them to loosen it with air, and nip it up again for you.

^ on a ramp, yeah. On the driveway, on your back in the rain, not so much. lol

Either box has eaten itself, or clutch/clutch release bearing problem. If the latter, it'll be evident when you slide the box off... Re: removal, yep, drop subframe down on passenger side and slide the box out through the wheel arch. Pinch bolt is an awkward fucker, but do-able. Needs a second...

Actual lol. What a job. You're not going to need any interior heater with that gearbox positioning! lol.

100% Cyclones. Stealth/standard FTW.

Who doesn't brim a 1*2 anyway everytime? Less than £40.

Yep, shouldn't be many issues with a regular garage. I would use a specialist though, just because they'll know what they're doing so the labour time will be quicker. ~£450 inc parts is fair for the job.

I love that. Looks great!

Yeah, so i'm going to have to be a super-fag. ): Best mate's car has shat itself and that's taken my day unfortunately. ):

Your post. Not one single pun. It's almost like you were trying to be helpful or something. (;

What you did, i can't see it?

There is an element of adjustment on it as standard tbh. Or cut and slide on further.

If it's failed completely it's simple to diagnose. Unplug them on by one with the engine running. If the miss gets worse then it's not that one that's the problem. If it stays the same. It's goosed.

Lol, with mine, i'm never going to do the cambelt (until they start rising in value). If it s***s itself, i'll get a spare engine stuck in for £250 and fit it one weekend.

Depends on your mindset i suppose. For me, not worth the investment on most 172's (especially mine).

Hardly. Aux belt is half hour's work for someone who knows their stuff and £70 parts. Cambelt is a £500 job.

I just cant get on with rounded edge phones.

Aux belt is a simple enough job. No need for that to go to a specialist. Definitely buy a whole new kit though. Something's not right, sounds like the tensioner might be seized?

Phew. I'll sleep tonight now. Cheers xx

The only thing that lets your threads down are the pics IMO! Work looks stunning, but the photos don't look professional. Not a dig at all BTW.

It went on eBay for £600. Not sure if the money changed hands though..

Single bolt which is visible when the engine mount is off.

Yep. @Sir_Dave and i used it on his old track car years ago. Set to -2.5' or whatever it was. Hunter checked a few weeks later and was impressed with the results!
