You're welcome mate. Happy to help! :up:

You and me both mate!!

That's why I said, 'might'! Lol

Cheers buddy! :up:

Update time again!! The new rear stub axles and caliper brackets arrived today courtesy of @nath&alex. The car was already stripped down ready to accept them so fitting took next to no time at all. Stub and bracket on:Disc and caliper carrier on:And finally, lock wired the rear brake pad...

If you're relocating the battery to the boot you'll need a thicker cable than the original anyway mate. Mines 16mm squared for reference.

One of the 2 points behind the headlight mate.

Earth point goes the the chassis just behind/off to one side of the passenger headlight.

Looks good @lesley!

Get a shop to do it mate.

Cheers. Couldn't bare to sell it so it was stripped with the assistance of @not normal dan, then scrapped. Lol I ain't keeping the engine that clean!! If I can't reach it to wipe it with a cloth, tough s**t!

It's not been washed since October 2014! Lol! Here's some proof that I used to wash and polish cars though!!Intercooler gave too much away so I painted it black. Disguised the 440hp perfectly after that. Much entertainment had in this car, well in a straight line!

Hi mate, welcome to the forum! You've posted in the wrong section originally so I've moved the thread to the best section. You'll get the maximum exposure and hopefully an answer to your question.

Brakes bled. Bumper on. Needs a wash desperately! Hopefully get that done next Sunday. More to come.

I'll see if my shim has anything on it as the rear stub axles are stripped down currently awaiting the new big bearing stub axle/disc setup.

Yeah I have a similar thing with mine as well mate. I've considered the pitking qr devices before, but just never got round to it.

It's a ph1 mate so it doesn't have the clip arrangement that the ph2 has. Well not to my knowledge anyway!

Honestly mate I can't remember what size shims I run now tbh. There is only 1 shim there though. From memory I had quite a bit of static negative camber before shims anyway, so this may be the reason I've got a lot from just 1 shim.

I used some shims mate.

Thanks mate. :up:

Can't say. Top secret. Efi will be doing the main mapping, and someone else will be doing the safe map for me.

They could well be tbh mate. Original injectors are magnetti marrelli I think, but can't be certain. ECP usually sell the oem stuff as well as the cheaper alternatives mate. Coil pack from Renault will be ££ for definite.

Personally I'd get the genuine ones mate. Big advocate of buy cheap, buy twice!

Old injectors doing more work = failure. I'd just replace them with like for like personally.

Little update for everyone. Brembos now fitted up front, along with discs and braided hoses. New bottom spherical bearings fitted along with new rose jointed track rod ends. Rear brakes/stub axles stripped down in preparation for the new improved stub axles arriving next week. Tomorrow is...

:up:🙈 Lol

Lol! My pleasure mate! Honestly though, it's not that difficult providing you understand what you're doing and you measure EVERYTHING.

@GrahamS here's the clearances mate. This is taken from the R3 maxi engine build manual. I'd have to dig a bit further for the 172 specs, but they won't be much different.

Get the cam journals measured and also the cams that you'll be using at the same time.

I'll dig out some specs for you mate. £12 per piston for standard rings if you know where to go. I can't stress enough that the measurements I've said to have checked are that important if you want an engine that's going to last. It's worth getting your oil pump modified as well. My cold...
