Don't need to touch any of the belt system, just jack the engine up and undo the top mount bracket and remove the bits you need to replace.
I'm such a pikie I don't even remove the undertray, just jack it up till it supports engine, lol
Rear arb and powerflex black engine mount insert added today, so basically ready now, too soon though I'm gagging to get out on track and the squealing front pads are doing my head in day to day, flol!!
Reckon it's probably got a leak then as bought car from you in April last year I think so lasted about 14 months after you gassed it, I'll get it leak checked first I reckon and replace some seals etc
It's a total lottery too, 182 had it 6 years and climate always worked perfectly, even had engine out do belts and @MicKPM just kept the gas and popped it back in. No seals renewed, nothing and still perfect...... Phase 1 died after naff all time as discussed
Yeah mines not exactly a replaced everything nut and bolt resto, lol, just a well maintained high miler. But tbh value of it doesn't really concern me anymore, I paid little for it in the grand scale of things many years ago so had more than my money's and enjoyments worth out of it!
But every...
One would suspect not, however it's nice to see them commanding decent cash in all honesty. Although with 6x the mileage on it mine may be slightly less valuable.... Lol
Be intrigued to hear how long it lasts ice cold as mine was perfect when bought the car and gave up after six months or so, so kinda reluctant to just gas it again
Fitted track wheels to the car along with none res RS192 exhaust and carbon lorraine rc6 pads
Going to transfer the whiteline rarb onto the car too this week and then all ready for Cadwell on the 12th
No longer a 1.8, it's pretty heavily modified and running F4R conversion :-)
I've got a build thread in the projects section if you're interested!

This will be my first trackday using this car, always felt like I should track it at some point and since the actual track car is still in bits, summer is disappearing and I have the saab as backup, it's time.
So booked Cadwell Park (my favourite) for the 12/9 and fitted some bits I had...
