Up early for Croft. Car loaded up with everything but the kitchen sink. Met up with the lads from work. Damp start but it soon dried up. I can’t really say much more about the RB other than it handled like a boat. But that’s good because 1) I know why and 2) it’s all about the experience...

I haven’t had a good look through the receipts but from the advert it’s had an Engine Dynamics Level 2 rebuild which is pretty much: Wossner Forged Pistons 12.8:1 (83mm) Catcam Performance Camshafts 421s Wossner one-piece Uprated Valve Springs MLS Head Gasket / Seal set Cylinder head Clean /...

So the current plan with this car will be as follows: 1. Whip the BC DS suspension off it and replace with my AST 5100s with improved spring rates of 80/80 nm (500/500 lbs). Maybe even make the rear slightly stiffer. 2. Run a bridge craft roll centre correct kit 3. Improve cooling as the...

Not my thumb. CUP and Non Cup.

Just love it 😍

You betcha. I’ll be in touch about some cooling options once I get things stripped back.

Did you do hillclimbing then?

Early start today collecting the new car, so I’ll be able to retire the RB from Trackday duties before it’s even started. I’ve a fair bit to say about this purchase but I’ll keep my powder dry for later. I’ve started a thread over at...

Well I did a thing today and got my next track car project. Firstly a big thank you to @Tonyclio for delivering it to my lockup and for being the perfect gent. A credit to you sir for building an amazing car. I know you’re going to miss it, but it’s in the right hands. 😊 It’ll probably be a...

I bought Febi units for mine and they're spot on. Part numbers for the OSR are - 7711135714 (exchange) or 7701204847 (non-exchange) but NLA unfortunately. There are some Febi ones on Autodoc amongst other brands, but I can only speak for what I've used...

Yeah, those are the part numbers for your car. Pirtek would be able to sort it.

Part number for non air con 172 cup is 8200220384 Air con model is the same as 172/182 see above.

172/182. Is yours a 172 CUP?

Aye NLA sadly. There’s one here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354951330218?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ttf8mpmdtwu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Unwx-nP3Rjy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Part number is 6000073688 for reference.

His teeth put me off. He’s a bit of a bodger as well.

Might even have been a 172, going into Haverton hill this morning at 10:30. Looked like it had been lowered.

This is the complete system under the bonnet. Mine is leaking from the seal on top of the dryer and a little bit from the pressure sensor. Then running down the pipe and dripping from exactly the same place as yours. It's going into a specialist in October.

Yes. Mine's doing exactly the same. I suspect the seals are gone. I assume yours isn't blowing icy cold air?

Air conditioning condenser. That's the dryer in the picture.

Ah, I see. Those Eero mesh routers are amazing, so if I moved from Virgin, I'd definitely use them. Although I understand some companies provide them, so wait and see what you get.

Bin the high speed off, get the M125 and buy a couple of Wifi-6 routers like Eero 6+. I stream everywhere in the house, with multiple TVs on at once, and music in other rooms. Never an issue. It's their shitty hardware that's the problem.

Welcome. I’ve had 3 x 182s over a six year period. One a track car. Never had a broken gearbox. On saying that, I’ve never made it a habit of trying launch control in Tesco’s car park. I guess if a gearbox is out of a car and you don’t know its history, stripping it down is the best way to...

From memory they were different lengths so rather than me c**k it up, here’s the diagram with part numbers to help you. I remember having to retap a thread in one of the brackets as it was cross threaded and that bolt was M8 x 75 mm x 1.25. But as I said, they’re slightly different lengths.

I'm with the RAC but am seriously thinking of binning them after your saga. What a carry-on!

Yours is the best one on here IMHO. Goals.....

When you realise the OP was talking about Nick's engine.

TBF i had my engine out on the above picture. I used a degreaser to wash all the oil off, then painted the block with Black VHT paint, touched the rocker cover up with VHT Silver paint (using artist brushes) and had everything else aqua blasted. On the plastics I just used a degreaser, then back...
