you need neither a press or fire to do the dogbone, thats complete nonsense. Do the pair of uppers, or neither or you'll have issues with one side moving massively more than the other

ATF

best thing would be to assess the condition of the broken engine. They can very often be repaired very well, and you have the benefit of a rebuilt and refreshed top end once it's done

sounds like the long way. 3 hammer blows and it's normally out

you could barely have bought one for that, a gearbox seems to be going for £250 on it's own . then all the other necessary stuff would have been 4 figures, then the fitting labour....... I'm not keen on the K4J, the K4M is a more worthwhile engine to start with, but you would need to be fairly...

burning is completely unnecessary

how to improve EBC gear?

Hammer and vice is all thats neede as anyone who's had me do theirs will attest to. I try to keep these in stock all the time now

I keep that in stock, it's a lot cheaper than some and it's a quality oil

on what ECU?

Beanies is a home build!!

I dont have one, but i've fitted a few and I've been suitably impressed (better than their older stuff)

hylomar is a recipe for a recurring leak

get a helper to lift the front edge of the bonnet while you pull the release. The lock most likely needs aligning, the the plastic trim often catches if the trim clips are missing

the ones i chewed were 225/45/16, and over £115 each

182 plenum fits on a 172 head, but not the other way round

I suspect a lot of the time people have issues like this is down to previously neglected oil changes, and not what is being put in at all

They're sensitive to camber and tracking. If your alignment is out it will eat them FAST, I chewed a set of fronts in 6 weeks from too much toe out, and it wasn't out by a long way. This was on a rear wheel drive car btw

i think it's 8mm as standard, total thickness. I measured that one before you had it and it was 7.8mm IIRC

Edited my last post

Beaniemoo, high compression 182 engine in a mk1 on Omex 600, ultra lightweight, 1 off carbon roof, GRP doors bonnet and boot, perspex windows, narrowed dash, Gripper diff, Leda suspension with remote reservoirs.......pretty much anything you can think of has been changed AndyRG before he...

My special tool

Jenvey would make you one to spec. Again though, it's a pointless exercise.

My mk1 is exclusively a road car, and i find it to be a MASSIVE improvement since i removed the PAS. Parking isn't hard, just learn to drive without dead steering

Absolutely!! I've done it to my mk1, and used a 1.2 rack. Paddy has done the same, and his car performed brilliantly on track on saturday. Infact the only mechanical failure out of 5 clios at Bedford on saturday was a PAS pump

goes up a tenner every time anyone asks for a discount ;)

all listed in my section and on my website. £450 all in

I R have never even taken it over half throttle honest
