Began a quick front caliper restoration, they're currently red which looks a bit ridiculous under turinis. So far one truley seized bleed nipple but nothing my new Mapp torch, plus gas and some whacking with hammer couldn't sort.
Is this piston good for the bin?
I welded mine in the footwell on my Valver and a mates Williams, I just surrounded the area with damp towels from what I remember- must have been more than 15 years ago now
This has made me feel good about my 172 now! dam site tidier than those even if it's a bit rough around the edges. Dont get 'cup tax' either, more were made than any other colour 172 and you get crapper spec
Its a bit rough and ready to be honest so it's never going to be worth anything as a standard car. I think the paint will have faded a lot around the standard Renault badge though.
I'm loving the RS badge too! So tempted to debadge mine for the newer badge but cant yet let go of being totally standard...well nearly - should I or shouldn't I?
Got the bluetooth obd reader and downloaded Torque lite. Fair to say I dont understand a lot of the readings it gives or their relevance. Is there a guide anywhere as to what they should all be?
I can see it will be useful though, how accurate is the mpg average etc?
