Bad luck Tony, jey sent me the pictures, I'm guessing flywheel cracked around the bolts and broke off. Do you guys have a spare engine to chuck in?

looks lovely mate, really coming together :)

Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) looking good mate!

Tbh tools like that make it easier for me to sell cars-it's amazing how far a little courtesy will go!

Check the tyres - these little cars have a habit of bubbling the rear tyres - jack it up and spin the wheels and look at the inner edges on the back tyres - I've had it on quite a few where you see the tyre looks like a 50p lol and it gives the impression of a wheel bearing going as it makes the...

Colour does look a bit poorly to me too

I'm sure chip will be along to verify, I remember it's feature in max power dohnutting on Weston beach lol

Depends on how hard you are on your brakes mate, to begin with I'd be replacing the front discs with a set of Brembo hc (g172 on here sells them cheap) with a set of decent pads (bedded in properly) with some fresh fluid in and see how that goes - you can go to more aggressive pads like some...

If you chuck an extra £50 you get some of Dans man love too

:o She has been with me long enough to expect such things lol x You will learn young padawan ;) Oh and another 172 too, so 23rd Clio :o

About to buy another 182 (will be 22nd Clio) :o

More than you think - a friend of mi e has a triumph herald convertible tucked up in his parents garage - parked it there about 17 years ago and it's still there lol. Tempted to buy it tbh

EXCUSES!!! :rasp:

lol! looks very well done, though I see a smudge

I'd definitely get the bolts out and grease them up mate - use grease meant for boats (or anything nautical) as it is meant to get wet - normal grease will just wash off

By welding in that tube it lets some of the exhaust gasses bypass the long route through the exhaust boxes and gives a nicer sound plus apparently a few bhp :)

The extra compression is offset by no 100 octane fuel, so normally on our fuel they work out about the same. The jdm's normally have half cloth seats, no leather centre console and sometimes a satnav screen in the dash. Car looks lovely mate, how long haz it been in the country? The...

close enough :rasp: lovely manifolds mind, ive had 3 lol

I spot a Williams manifold

Cams are expensive mate. These engines are very specific on cam timing, and it has to be done using the correct cam locking tools in the correct procedure - if this is not done, the timing will be out and you will be down 25bhp odd - I bet at least half of all 172/182's out there have incorrect...

as pretty much everyone has said, getting power out of these engines is not too easy (bear in mind they are based on the 138bhp unit out of the Espace/Laguna, so they are already 'tuned' as it were) but what does make a difference is a remap - the standard cars have the '5k kick' - decent maps...

I didn't think I locked it -oops

Staph's are my favourite cozworth - looks lovely mate :) many miles on it?

I sell pretty much everything lol, so keep me in mind for whatever you need mate, oh and i'll give you a pound if you rub your face in the carpets

looks, errm, lovely Dan! I'd be stripping the seats and carpets out to clean that s**t Oh and if you ever want a new decent industrial jetwash, I sell them at work

various bits, if anyone is interested drop me a pm. Or bid lol Mk4 Golf Bootlid http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201068066280?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Mk5 Golf boot liner / organiser...

Lol true (still love youes btw) though I never studied the gearbox :-P

butterfly worn, moving side to side slightly and sticking on the walls of the body - I must have seen a hundred like it. So much I made a guide on how to make them as good as possible (involves lubricating them - a lot of work involved) in fact I used to supply a service of cleaning them to...

Ooh do they? Never knew that, all the ones I've seen have been abs
