You need to check if yours has got a speedo drive on the back of the box. Most of the ones that do are Ph1 172's or 172 cups, but some early Ph2 172's I've seen have had the speedo drive. If it has this, you'll need to get a 'box with it.

Bingo. Having owned an ITB'd car done a few years ago by a certain trader on here, and having had a fair amount of experience with the RS2, I know where my money would be going.

With a pair of angle headed pliers/ a plumbing wrench. I can't remember the last time I broke one..

PMSL. As with everything, you need to experience something to be able to comment. Too many dickhead disciples on this forum jump on the bandwagon of what their Clio 'messiah' pals say.

Dave's Trophy is on or approaching 180k. Still pulls like a train.

Nope. Well, technically no. It's held in by the ball joint/hub etc..

I normally price mine at £350 if running well and around 100k. Adjust price from there dependant on mileage & age..

Pah. Sub £3k for a ITB'd 182, on H&R's and 2118's is where it's at. (;

I'm out tonight unfortunately.

As with anything, buy cheap, buy twice. May I ask why it needs to be removable?

All down to preference. If I was you, i'd inspect before you buy new. It could be (and probably is) perfectly fine. To check- airbox and battery out. Unclip it from the clutch fork and operate it by hand from the engine bay side. If there's any scratching/notchyness/stiffness, change it...

As Fred said. Obviously make sure the anything that's open is taped over to stop dust/mice getting in, etc.

I've got about five if you need one, mate.

While they look good, they're not anymore supportive, imo..

FYI, Failsport do extraordinary rates. PM if you get stuck.. (; In my experience, bits like this you can only diagnose by taking the thing apart and looking at everything as it comes off. Had the same kind of thing with my 106d, wouldn't go in and out of gear sometimes, but others it'd be...

LOL! Win!

Oh, by far. I <3 the paint pen.

f**king LOL at Dave on the shitter.

From the left: Ollie (Ollie82) Nick172cup Vish (our token Asian friend) Jon (Saner) Ryan (Couzens) Tom (@JMS) Dave's the speccy one. I'm the ginger. James is the yummy camo one. Epic weekend was epic. Climbing that fence after that many beers is dangerous. Fact.

What age is it?

Your derv does cracking burnouts, Alex. ;)

Half fill it with warm soapy water. Pour half a cup full of rice in. Block gaps. Shake. Done- it'll come up like new.

Awesome weekend. Drinking nothing but beer for 5 days has taken it's toll today. I can't wait for the Failsport pics thread. Bring on the mess.

I <3 Riad. My hand wasn't without a beer while I was with you guys!

Do it- you won't regret it.. I take it Blondey is the same one off 106OC who had the luminous yellow bits?

I know i'm going to forget something important. We leave at 6am. I've got nothing packed, nothing organised and i'm working until 8pm. Then, i've got to go to a family gathering or some s**t. Packing until 3am FTL.

Jon, many of your boys about tonight? Looking like it could just be: 1. Bigman 2. Mike 3. Ollie (possibly (we all know that means no)) 4. Hallam (possibly) 5. Tom- I've not heard from..

Looks like i'll be going to Tesco tonight to swap it over, lol. Either that, or buying a boot full of whiskey and decanting it into plastic bottles. Bring on a war with the French, tbh.

Tom's brother by chance?

35kgs, they weigh. JC5-130 i think is the 182 code, but any 172 or 182 'box will fit fine.
