I paid 200 for around 1.5ft of rear sill like that on my mk1 recently, only one side, but inner and outer welded up solid

Totally fixable, bodge it up with some sheet steel, slap the skirts back on, done

as above, do the sum of sweet f**k all to help anything other than making your car look 'scene' or in other words, broken :)

yes, I have them on mine, best way is to convert to 172 wide track, so use everything from a mk2. mine has driveshaft's, wishbones, anti roll bar, hubs, brakes and I use Williams front struts with bolt holes eased out to fit 172 bolts and the 172 hubs have been machined narrower to accept the...

on a side note, never sure which way to put the springs, helpers above or below mains. The FK were mains underneath, KW's I've opted for the other way around based on just pics on the KW website showing them that way round!lol!

26-08-2017 KW V2 Coilover fitting After affixing the whiteline and rear dampers to the car, I also took the opportunity to fit my KW V2 front coilover units. I have used the stiffer 500lb aftermarket springs on them and set them to approx. half way on the dampening adjustment for now to see...

lovely, just lovely!

more than likely chap, I was down that way collecting the Wilwoods for my track car from @AshWebb around then

26-08-2017 whiteline and koni adjustable fitting So the weather was miiiiiint and had some time to kill, time to play with the chassis. If you look back over this thread I had a whiteline rarb that I was going to fit to the car. That was 3 years ago ish I think and since then it's sat on one...

most of Renaultsport's back catalogue

we got 16" rims on 172 phase 2 as standard over here

ai as above ensure you get the hose flow through the block itself also, they'll be coolant in that and just blasting the circuit from the header tank connections wont always get there

agree with above but also need a mk1 clio, obvious hole in collection is obvious ;-)

200T imo unless you get uber launch and mega gear changes in the 182 Fiat, nah but tbh who actually cares beforehand? just go have a giggle with your mates/missus and just enjoy the friendly competition, do you really need to know what every other fucker on the planet thinks before the fact?

lovely stuff :)

i'm just using the built in one on the forum these days

nice work man, as you say hopefully get out for a blast next week one eve, presume she's on the road now? who did the wheels and cost as well out of interest, got a set of F1's for the Odyssey I want doing!

yeah man, can try to get out and about :)

nice progress, I have the wiring loom job to do at some point, been putting it off for 4 years nearly....lol!!!!

23-08-2017 Trial Fit of Wilwoods So figured I would check the clearances on the Wilwoods and ensure they cleared my Speedline Maracanã (Turbine) wheels for road and my track OZ Superleggera, both 15" rims. Pictures can do most of the talking here but essentially, yes they clear both with no...

ai be shame to kill it, doesn't need to be a pretty repair if the sills are gone, just slap some plates on and good for few more years!

yeah I'm just up the road in Ambergate area and usually out and about playing cars when I get chance

looks like a right wreck tbh

One with the spacer I believe

Cheers matey, good to know! :cool:

ai as all have said, align it as is and use it, see how it feels and revise and improve from there I would guess better pads will be pretty much the first thing to do, 2500 are more a road based pad, I personally use CL RC6 although about to upgrade to wildwood 4 pots, 293mm discs and DS 1.11 pads

ai just use some Vaseline or similar on the ring....ahem

I have'n't @gez 172 i'm afraid, always been useless with videos, I used to have a gopro and recorded a few trackdays but never did anything with the footage all I have on youtube is a couple of starting and idling vids I think, that's it!lol!

last time I rebuilt mine I used mineral oil for 100 miles or so and just drove it 'sympathetically' so no redline but not mothering it completely either, then changed the oil and thraped it. cracked the block eventually but that was poor mapping and no sympathy on track, lol
