When did you get a LY 182?

I bet that's fun, it sounds amazing in the video at the bottom of the page. http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i133/adam6900/capri/?action=view&current=MVI_0897_zpsb3f4c8ac.mp4

Piece of piss, ebay is your friend.

My non cup 172 has them, I doubt any previous owners put them on, everything on it was standard when I bought it.

They probably got sick of having their big block V8 arses handed to them on the drag strip by 4 pots, so they banned anything Japanese that can be boosted to over a 1000 bhp.

Ah right, America makes no sense.

Eh?

That's exactly the shape I want, but with the wheels TEG has on his.

I've watched a bit of everything on the Motor Trend Channel, the Alabama army truck is my favourite on Dirt Every Day so far.

It does upset me that we can't just patch weld rotten floors with road signs or bolt some random headlights to the front and hit the road Mad Max style, the Police would crush your car into a cube and take your licence off you. :dapprove: That's why the 'Rat' scene is so sh*t in this country...

That was just something random I found, (or so I thought at the time) i'd never seen them before or knew anything about them or HotRod magazine so posted it as a one off. I thought it was about time we had an actual Roadkill thread in the same way there's a Chris Harris thread. They remind me...

After a quick search I can't believe there isn't a thread for Finnigan and Freiberger's antics, the Roadkill series is by far my favourite thing on Youtube and the latest episode is their best to date.

Re: Utterly Filthy Zed.. Last clean of the year: I think my car's only been cleaned once this year before CSS and I didn't even do it, the rain seems to do a good job of it anyway. Then again you could probably buy a minimum of 5 dog kennels for the resale value of yours.

Yep extender bar needed, it's the only way you can get at them.

I always use engine braking on the roads to modify my speed to the conditions, but not mega high revs.

For the money you could buy a hell of a lot worse.

Not a bad little project for someone at £1500 http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C459837

It'll be a Lambda sensor.

I doubt it. lol 172 cups, ph1 172's and Trophy's are they one's that people will want as classics in the future.

Good luck on a factory resto, the exhausts came pre-rusted from the factory and they piss oil as standard, if you have both of those then you're pure OEM. ;)

Now that's something I didn't know.

Chuck it in the bin, I threw my entire sump tray in the bin as have alot of others, it doesn't provide any protection for the sump as the plastic's wafer thin, it's only really there to catch oil leaks. Personally I like to know when i've got a leak rather than the tray hiding it and it getting...

The plastic sump tray has foam inside it to soak up the oil that Renault know leaks from the sump gasket. 'The sump gasket has a flaw and leaks oil should we fix it'? 'No, just pack the sump tray full of foam to soak it up'. Bloody French!

It's some of the plastic covered foam that's attached to the inside of the sump tray, believe it or not, it's there to soak up the oil that Renault know leaks from the sump gasket.

Dr Jekyll's B/G 182 is one the nicest examples i've ever seen.

Buy 2 sacrificial socket bits one size smaller than the nuts and hammer them on so they bite into the metal, then buy 2 new nuts.

The standard exhaust come pre rusted from the factory.

Mine's started falling to bits in the cold now as well as the heat, won't be long before it disintegrates completely.
