Brilliant! A totally different car.

Exhaust sounds good and I love that front end vinyl :)

LOL@the answers at the bottom!

Don't rock the car with the engine off.

What else was wrong?

Re: SUPER 1600 REPLICA based on 172, CLIO WILLIAMS Tribute, CLIO WILLIAMS IV (Austra Guys, I think he knows what he's doing!

Brilliant! Good old Haynes ey?

Perfect for a 225 conversion?

Good stuff, keep us updated :) I'm glad you got it sorted and more so that you did it yourself.

Excellent! Hats off to you then mate. You got stuck in and it's paid off. How's it running since the change?

;)

...and that would usually sort it? I know my handbrake cables need adjusting - would this have anything to do with it? I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks for the info.

Plastidip it. Then if it looks s**t, change the colour!

Something definitely wrong then! I just jacked it up and spun the wheel and they do seem to be sticking on tbh.

Excellent work mate! Did you do it all by yourself? What mechanical knowledge did you have prior to doing it? I'm slowly learning different bits and jobs on the car (when things go wrong I like to replace them myself - it's the best way to learn!).

Can I check them myself? How is it done?

I cba scrolling through but did you manage to get the engine sorted in the end?

I've had mine fitted for just over a year now and they're quite worn down. When they were fitted the pads were rubbing on the discs slightly when the wheel was spun, however I was assured that this was normal. What's an average amount of time/miles that rears should be lasting?

Fair play for doing it your own way, I admire that :)

I meant machining out the spigot rings, however I may not have understood it properly! Got to love a bargain :approve:

Just noticed that my MPG has gone down by about 3-4 which is unusual as I've been feathering the gas today. I'll keep an eye on it but does anyone have any ideas as to why it might have gone down? It could be just from when I had it sat at idle for a bit yesterday. It's not going up any higher...

Nice writeup, I love that first photo :)

Looks great, I like the wheels!

Voted grey, it'll suit the colour of the car more than silver.

They seem a good purchase, I couldn't be bothered getting all that work done myself though!

Looks a mess IMO, too much going on. Sorry.
