He's been open about 3 years now. Got a Meg 225 himself. Our John has used him for diagnostics with Clip, didn't charge him for some too. Niall has used him for his starter motor and alternator too. Also replaced some clips and bolts that were missing for free. Seems a decent guy.

You've got Gary Burnett in Warrington for a Renault Specialist and @bloke on the Wirral if the others are booked up. I'm using the day as a test for my new box and diff which is getting fitted on Friday :grin:

Get @Eddie. on it too.

You should book on to Oulton for the bank holiday Monday on the 29th May, mate. There's a family fun day on and they're running AM and PM sessions for £89. Me, @Niall @JB21 @Danith are booked on for the PM sessions. http://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/calendar/2017/may/29-op-family-day.aspx

Yeah mate.

Worth checking the big central nut to see if it's tight. Sometimes they come delivered a bit loose and that'll knacker the bearing. Check once fitted to the car, so that there is some weight/load on the bearing.

He's after scene points :tongueclosed:

See how you get on.

You'll need a 1" socket to put the gold plug on with, just so you know.

I'm sure your mate @bloke will have a rear off side caliper :wink:

It might not be as free to move in and out as needed.

Worth checking that it moves out when you pump the pedal. It sounds like the same thing which happened on my mates civic, we drove it up the road hardly using the brakes and came back to the driver's side smoking hot.

Was it easy to push back in though?

Either that or there is loads of air still in the caliper so the piston can't move as freely.

Piston seized mate.

It's covered by the arch liner mate. You'll have to get the wheel off and take the liner out.

There's an auto level sensor in the passenger side arch and also on the rear beam i think. It's connected by a rod with 2 ball type joints at either end. These can fall off. Worth check to see if they are in place.

No worries mate. Telling you, auto is w**k. Don't know why they bother putting it on.

Auto isn't very good as it usually brings the flash on even when it's not needed. That can cause underexposed pics. Try P mode if it has it. It's a bit like auto so you don't have to worry about setting your shutter speed.

Speak to @Perrinho and see what he can do for you.

Yeah, done Craners sideways at the end of last year in the wet 😂

Seems like effort, when there are plenty of ph2 172/182 engines around, no?

The oil seperator/breather plate on top of the ph1 won't allow you to fit a 182 inlet i don't think. @bloke?

I'd rather put a 182 engine in tbh. Throttle is by cable on the ph1 for a start.

You can live in a car, you can't drive fast in a house :tonguewink:

The roll you would have had on standard springs wouldn't have helped mate, at that speed. It'll feel much better round Island Bend on coilovers.

Yeah, i don't like lively either. My whiteline arb in the wet is murder, so i just unlink one side.

As you say, it's a complete minefield and a lot is down to personal preference. If you start with 8kg/8kg and see how you get on, you can always get some harder springs for £40 a piece.

Stiffer rear will encourage it to be a tad more lively. I know @NorthloopCup said he prefered the front a bit stiffer.

I agree, AST's would be the ideal setup. But you're talking £1500 and if you are already stretching to buy £800 coilovers then finding another £700 is a bit much. Plus, you have to deal with Curtis :tongueclosed:
