I managed to source a 172 cup A/C delete kit. Unfortunately nobody wanted to sell the kit without the alternator, so i bought this kit, with a fairly new alternator and sent my brand new one back to RPD, with no issues. The RB had recently hit 137k. I noticed on the day i went to the sprint...

Thanks bud. Ive always maintained that this isn't a minter. The problem is people see pics of cars and think its immaculate but in person, there is imperfection, issues, etc. I like to keep my cars clean and well maintained, but it has swirls, chips, knocks, whines, etc. With this said, it is...

Couple from today.

Bumping up a old post/thread but I just want to add that the last post/post above is the perfect way to get the alternator out on a 172/182 with air con. I did it recently and this worked well. I did remove the engine bolts and jack up the engine/sump to get more access, but upon refitting, I...

Turinis are a timeless classic. Looks great as always Ben, especially for the mileage!

Smashing work mate. Fair bit gone into that. I'd like to do the same going regarding my gearbox and I'll probably drop Mark a message when I'm ready. Have you a link to the guide you mentioned? Also thanks for the kind words regarding the plates 👍 Engine bay looks sweet also 😎

As above, no reason why it shouldn't providing you have the joiner and may need to cut the silicon pipe down a bit. Looks quite oe too.

A pain in the arse job made easy. People should definitely use this method as way to do so. Myself and others have struggled doing it the "manual" way and this way is a no brainer.

100%. After I posted above, I decided to read the whole thread from start to finish this week, finishing just now. This is how they should be done. There was nothing tacky about this cup and all the mods was done tastefully. A real inspiration to how a 172/182 should be modified, even 8 years...

Much better. Cleaner looking too.

One of the front arb bushes is a right pain in the arse, the other ones are a piece of piss. I think it's the inners that are poo. In fact, I dont think it's the fitting, I think it's the refitting and getting the clamps down that was a pain. Still good work again toby. The pms mounts are a...

Really enjoy reading your updates tom. Makes for a good read. Shame that your still in pain, but looks like your pushing through and it's now not hindering you "too" much. Been flicking back at your project thread for pics and guides on the AC removal actually. I've decided to do a AC delete...

This was/still is my favourite project thread (for a clio) on here. A really good inspiration and I always love going back and having a read through every now and then. Was the perfect cup imo.

Needs show plates tbh.

Keep going ben!!

Agreed. Paint it. Looks neater too.

Thank you very much for the kind words mate. Knowing how you was with the scoob, those comments above come as a compliment. Im keeping an eye on your project thread and look forward to seeing your updates too. I did think about it but it is a costly process. For now its a used car so i expect...

Tease

Ooh, what's being done regarding the snappy refurb? Needs more pics to be honest mate!! PS, thanks for all the heads up you gave me ?

Good to see you again paul!

And he blacked his fog light surrounds properly ??

Looked great in the flesh on saturday. Was good to meet you and your friend and as I said, still the best car in this years calendar ?

I got this one of @Owen photobombing!! To be fair, he did sprint just as we was setting up and I caught him mid air! I actually like the picture! And one of the pic we actually took after he left! I took around 15 pics in total. I actually decided to not use my cameras a lot, even though...

@benji93 your car was mint. Went well too! Best of both I say!

They look smart mate and oe to the wheels.

Just got home. Once again, as always it was another great event. Weather was good, cars on show was great and as always, it was great to talk to people, both who i've known and new faces. Another well organised event and kudos once again to the admin who make the event happen.

Wased last night. And prepped. Rained this morning. Meant to rain again around 10ish.
