Do it!

Yes disconnect it. You can move the butterfly plate yes. Just go steady.

I always fancied getting new ones for mine, but the only option was Carbon types and they're a fortune. If you can't rescue yours, this is worth doing and is very cheap. This is a close-up but anybody who walks up to the car and looks around it still hasn't noticed they're not original trims...

As above, looks spot on. Nice and clean under there 👌

I just love the wheels on this little car :love:

I used to go back and forth to my local circuit in my 182 which had a Gripper fitted by Mark. It’s a 60 mile journey there and back. They’re fine but just a bit too mechanical (noisy) for everyday use. And as Mark says, they need servicing. LSD for road use 💯

Good result that considering it wasn’t the best condition. @NickReilly063 right now…

It’s amazing how many little bits need replacing. I’ve been buying old NLA parts that are nigh on impossible to find now and restoring them, ready to fit.

Took her out for a blast to the garden centre after a month sat idle - fell back in love pretty sharpish.

Race-suit incoming?

Seller: Dentist72 - Somebody is getting their teeth taken out 🤣

Looking more like a track car these days. Headlamp blanks look ace. Are you running valve marker stickers on your wheels?

It depends how far you want to go. I assume you’re changing the PAS pump? When are the timing belts due? PAS is a strange one as they generally go gradually over time. Worth changing with a decent refurbished one. There’s a company on eBay that does an exchange. I’d do the following...

I could be wrong but i'm sure it's part of the fuel filler pipe itself. Number 4 in this shot.

I never knew such a thing existed until now, but I can see how it would be a good idea on a track/race car.

It’s helped me sort a few issues on my 182 — resetting the steering angle sensor, clearing fault codes, and even tracking down some dodgy wiring when the car suddenly refused to start. That said, it’s not perfect. If you’re not comfortable reading schematics or don’t know your way around...

@Racky You were wrong 😂

And she’s gone. Back to her original owner and in good hands. Thanks Tony!

I follow it on Instagram. Looks really cool.

This is what’s under there. It’s probably just pushed the bumper out from where I’ve drawn the circle. 20 minute job and a handful of rusty screws to whip the bumper off and check. It’ll probably spring back into shape once the stress has been taken off.

Just replaced my company car with the same model. Same insurance provider. No changes in circumstances. Price went from £940, to £370. 6 months in between quotes. Makes my head wobble.

The Avons are decent tyres. Ran them on my 182 but not a patch on PS3. But it really comes down to how good your set up is and how worn your cars suspension components are. These are really old cars now. 195 will be more sympathetic than 205s if everything isn’t as good as it could be. 205...

It’s a great looking car. When will we see these on UK roads? It has to be the longest car launch ever.

The chaps at @FrogJam Motorsport can help with wheel bearings, and fitting if you so wish. Also, North East lads. They have a website here https://frogjammotorsport.co.uk/

Your car is better than mine Nick.

You don’t need any 🧐
