on the mk1 the rears are cheap anyway as they are just a pair of shocks and you use the torsion bar to adjust ride height if you buy a coilover kit you will get new rears with it, and always worth changing if your going to the trouble of upgrading the suspension, false economy not to tbh for...

I'm plugging for phase 1 172 or 182 FF................no reason like

as above, 9x out of 10 it'll be injector

limited stuff left for mk1 now tbh, personally i'd go road based coilover like a FK Highsport kit and just set to whatever height you desire ran FK's for years and even with the car lowered by fair bit they ride pretty well and are a decent road based coilover imo

ai tbh RR is never a great base for real world performance, but if it goes well gives you something to shout about! all I know is the car feels better on track with the RS2 than it did without, power spread is better, use gears for longer even if outright power isn't that much up

checked the original links and price has increased to unviable £50 quid for 4, boooooo!

ah Christ that's been butchered, mine uses a small hole and a adaptor tube off the idle valve, didn't have the valve bodged directly onto the manifold! mine ran 193bhp and 160lbft ish iirc on stock engine and exhaust manifold. planning to 182 exhaust manifold and 197 cam it with group n timing...

should be relatively straight forward, if its been on a phase 1 and phase 2 then just bolt her up, connect what you have to it in a logical fashion and block up any holes left mine was similar, been on both but most recently on a phase 1 and I fitted it to phase 1, was dead easy just bolted it...

just speak to Paul @ RDP (he's able to post fluids again now) for everything and yes i'd do the box oil if its not been done before, its cheap and easy to do

Keep a distance from it she's not bad for a 172k shitter, lol

that be me @MarkMchugh popping through to my parents in Cheshire, and the damn road was shut too so did couple of laps of Macc, lol!!!

nice llittle vid man :)

sounds a gem, shame to mess with it at all and tbh any un reversible mods will devalue it imo!

Yeah it's not a bolt on conversion unfortunately.

right spoke to him, he used 172 stub axle and caliper/disc but the central hub and wheel bearing from the valver pressed into it. then machined 2mm off the mating face of the 172 stub axle where it bolts to the strut as the valver strut flanges are closer together. also drilled out the strut to...

I think mate of mine managed to fit just the discs and calipers, i'll ask him what he did

tbh, its going to be a massive improvement either way as the stuff in there is a hotch potch of ancient stuff and top ups from rebleeds over the years, I've been lazy! lol!

already for the blue s**t on stock chap so it'll do for now and if no good i'll change it again once I've got happy with the wilwoods :)

once the odyssey is retired from active duty when I get the RB 182 back next job is to strip the skirts off that and check the outer sills it was looking good from the inside and has had a wire wheel and krust/underseal treatment so i'm hoping and praying it'll be okay......

great build so far and love the carport/garage :)

epic bus is epic, good call retrieving it

welcome

still love that car with my all, superb phase 1

31-08-2017 Things to do review Thought I'd write up the current list of stuff pending to do with the car now the end of the season is approaching. Although I have Mallory in a few weeks, before which save for sorting the little niggles nothing else will be done, after that I have plenty to do...

Great news, always nice to have a good check over for piece of mind. And then you can be comfortable in your ownership knowing it's now perfect

I drop into the Abbey occasionally too, I live up the Valley in Ambergate, other side of Belper but i'll keep an eye (and possibly ear....) out for a minty phase 1 V6 :) lovely looking example and particularly love the engine cover!

yeah doesn't sound dephaser to me, just sounds like loaded alternator which you get after start as the battery recharges does it ever go away however?

there was a larger caliper carrier and disc that could use the standard calipers available at one point but can't for the life of me remember who made them and if any would still be floating about somewhere

mine used to drive me crazy, so I sold it and now run a janspeed which I threw at the car from 50 yards away and it hung perfect first go, flol!

rusty Renaults, ongoing battle it is tbh!
