    Colombo & Bariani Cams vs Catcams?

    not even close. I'll dig out the figures the total duration is longer on the C&B's, but the ramp rate is very gentle so the lift at TDC is far milder for high comp with uprated springs you should be looking at 422's anyway

    depends what you want to weld really. I taught myself enough to do a few patches, but got taught properly a couple of years later when I was building Crash simulation structures for cars and aircraft. It's mostly surface prep, and experience of knowing when you're about to blow a big hole on the...

    you, trying to separate the top cup and the nut by using a massive pair of grips, despite being told that they're one piece, and looking like an idiot while you were doing it. You don't know as much as you like to tell everyone.

    replacing the 172 thermostat

    it's 3 bolts and top up/bleed the coolant. If you need a guide, put the tools down tbh. And that's not meant to be nasty, but it's just SO simple

    ignorant people oil, belts, time. None of these are free no matter what. Even doing it yourself is giving up your own time. But you would know best. Always in 4 paragraphs or more

    Engine Out - Driveshafts In?

    you'll have to unbolt the center carrier from the block on the long shaft

    I don't do bodywork. However, it would be MUCH cheaper than paying for an engine swap etc.

    I cannot believe anyone is saying break the car......for THAT. Seriously, you'd think they were made of rare porcelain. It's metal and paint. Piss easy fix.

    Ice Cream Sandwich.

    Mates with Iphones have had just as many issues, and some have bricked their handsets. HTC seems to be the easiest to update with. Glad I have one

    GAZ are just tripe in general. They're not even nice before they break. Billys and H&Rs (SAME!!!) don't seem to leak much, but they develop a lot of play in the fronts which make them knock (I havn't seen a set in 4 years that hasn't started to do it) People are odd tbh. The set on my car was...

    such is life tbh, it will happen to a % of anything. Standard dampers are s**t for blowing, I've found leaks on a 8k old 197 before I've seen the returns shelf at Spax, it's very small, and most of their issues seem to be from people using mole grips on the shaft to tighten the top nut

    Custom Built Vs of shelf ? ?

    As you're south wales, go to Prospeed and See Charlie. The ONLY custom exhaust builder I can recommend. Otherwise there are plenty of off the shelf systems. I recommend Piper for best of the best quality, and Janspeed for very good on a slightly smaller budget

    grand on coilies

    I have. Think I've driven every available setup. KW V1's were shocking (no pun intended) on a stripped out car, Billys were similarly just wrong. Gaz are the worst things I've ever experienced, Vmaxx are genuinely a better option if you are budget limited. KW V2's are better, well made, but just...

    did you know that Spax invented the adjustable damper? They're very different to other's in the same price point due to the way their adjustment is on bound and rebound. (if the adjuster is at the top, you have rebound only) and they're Fully stainless steel

    182 Cat vs sportcat

    182 basically has 2 sport cats, one after the other in one box

    Odyssey ph1 172 pure track car. No tax discs here........

    then it will be a bit easier. Cutting holes in the floor to drop the main hoop feet through so you can weld all round the joins onto it that are hidden by the roof rails might be the best way to go about it. Same for the front feet actually

    Odyssey ph1 172 pure track car. No tax discs here........

    It's just really awkward unless you're working with a 100% bare shell with the glass removed. The main hoop will need cutting down a fair amount too

    What are these called or part number please

    Found a part that it might be, but the exploded diagram looks a bit different. There is also a front impact fitting kit available which looks like all the trim clips etc required for a crash repair, but there's no list I can see that shows what's in it

    What are these called or part number please

    they're there most of the time, but they're easily damaged when removing the scuttle panel to change the pollen filter.

    IF the engine has to come out, I always go out the top.

    *HELP* What is easiest way remove a 1*2 engine ?

    If it was me, I'd have the subframe off, and do both jobs in the car. I do have the benefit of a ramp and a brace to hold the engine up though

    Want to replace Pipercross Cone Filter

    hmm, I'm not so sure. The standard ph1 elbow is definitely worse than the ph2. If you use one, get a silicon elbow
