Hi there, By any chance does anyone have a stripped engine or a 1*2 crank at hand? I need the crank diameter on the flywheel side, the area where the seal sits on the crank to be specific, as far as I know it should be around 80mm. Should be measured in 3 spots with a good caliper to make a...

Had absolutely not a single issue with the Ferodo which were on the car for even longer, in exactly the same conditions (I have the car since 2006 and went through about 4 sets of pads so far, none showed any sign of failure)

Had nothing to complain about their performance either, they did the job great but EBC should warn the customers that in time these pads could fail, something like "keep the pads untill min pad thickness reached or for maximum of 2 years (or so) " That way we could avoid possibly catastrophic...

Well I bought new pads obviously, but will never ever touch EBC unless I will know that I'll burn them pretty quickly because it seems that they don't do well against time. What about someone that has a weekend car and does 1000 miles per year?? Is that person supposed to change the pads every...

Hi guys I want to share my experience with these pads, maybe it will help someone in taking the right decision regarding pad choice First of all, they were fitted in september 2016 along with new discs, ATE plastilube used on pad contact points with the caliper and piston to avoid any seizing...

Hi there, I may be wrong here but are the cup pack 182's also fitted with a bigger master cylinder? or they are all the same across the board? (22,2 mm) Thanks!

anyone knows the brake master cylinder diameter in a 182 with the cup pack? As far as I know it's slightly larger than non cup cars Thx!

Wow this was amazing to read.. A friend of mine just bought a valver and I was wondering : where do you find parts for a car this age nowadays? Looks like even aftermarket stuff is almost gone.. That's a shame really..

That looks weird, the flywheel is quite exposed there, is that ok?..

Oh and what's this any idea as it is leaking some petrol, looks like a sort of pump

So for the wide track conversion using 172 parts you need what? 172 hubs and wishbones, shocks and calipers, 172 steering rack, 172 antiroll bar? Am I missing something? Does the anti roll bar fit the valver as they seem different?

I also have the Milltek for 10 years now and it never cracked. It also sounds pretty good especially without the center silencer

Ok so no valver owners left huh? ?

Hi there, A friend just bought a valver and I'm trying to help him with getting the car close to a nice enjoyable to driving machine. First thing is the car needs a fresh exhaust, we were wondering which pipe diameter suits these cars the best - I reckon 2.25" as it will not get heavy engine...

Kev, I was comparing the fronts only, and it looks like the B14 are indeed stiffer than the 275lb gaz. So it looks like the rear is much stiffer on the gaz (being coilovers instead of the classic beam setup) Bottom line the Gaz is set to a softer front end and a stiffer rear and the B14 is the...

Yeah I know you can get stiffer springs for them, just a bit confused on how stiff the billies actually are, they're 90nm/mm (according to some sources) front which is about 400lbs/in (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm thinking of the billies as my next coilover set so just want to make sure they...

Bump to this old one, but spec wise the Bilstein has stiffer springs than the basic spec GHA that is 275lbs/in front, and people say the billies are too soft for track use. I have the gha kit with the base spec and they could be a little stiff on the track but I imagine if they would be as stiff...

In the avensis family car the climate works just fine. On auto it doesn't roast you and for sure I can remember that the clio used to be fine. So I think there's a fault somewhere

Did a test the other day. Switched off the auto function and set the vent speed manually to a mid position, ac off and started to play with the temperature only and found out that between 18 and max there is a small difference meaning it blows hot air basically. Only if going to the minimum...

It's a 2005 182. After further research looks like it's different from the 172 sensor

Bump to this... Now I clearly am missing something here ? Where is this sensor?..

That looks flush, how is it supposed to stick out? Any pic with one fitted that way? Also does this get specified in the repair manual?

1. Can't be sure how he fitted the seal as I saw the car when it was fully done. Tbh I didn't even knew about the correct fitment of the seal! Bugger that's a tough one to check now ? 2. I have a breather filter fitted as I have a silicone induction hose that replaced the original but it doesn't...

Hi there guys, Been a good and a sad day for me yesterday, I went to the first trackday this year, the car had recently been sorted for some issues and it really was a great day, perfect weather, managed a good time, etc. As I was saying one of the recent problems was an oil leak from the crank...

I would ask pure motorsport about this but tbh I'd get longer studs no matter what

I tried to unscrew the metal clips from the sides and spent half hour figuring out if I'm missing something but no success..

Hi there, A friend of mine just bought a valver and now he found a williams abandoned in some yard for about 1500 euros, we didn't went to see the car yet so what should we look for to see if it's indeed what the seller says? In the pics you could see the body which is definitely willy...

Take a 182 trophy, strip it to bits, reinforce the shell, figure out how to make the gearbox stronger, couple it with a more usable gear linkage than the pms one (you wouldn't want a new car to have transmission noise inside the cabin), make the suspension components a bit stronger but not over...

got to the poin where I want to remove the radio cover to get it clean. removed the radio but can't get it's front panel of. any ideas? :D

Figured it out eventuality, but thx anyway! Btw, I used hot water with laundry powder detergent. 5 minutes into the water and a little scrub with a nylon brush and I think it worked better than any other product.?
