Re: First Project Car - complete about another 10 more of these and i might be able to afford to have it finished!

just needs mapping, spec is nothing fancy, cams, manifolds matched (thanks AWT!) 182 exhaust manifold, new clutch, fix all the oil leaks, make it look pretty etc this car had had a recent cambelt change before the current owner bought the car (all went in the bin anyway) and it was quite...

if it ain't broke.....................

just checked, different part numbers! part number using a 52 plate 172 cup reg = 8200557644 part number using a 05 plate trophy reg = 8200608653 same thing though unless anyone knows different? price is the same

^what he said

you must remove the large nut on top of the v-maxx first though, its just a delivery nut

i'm a mocal stockist, drop me an e-mail of what you need excatly and i'll do you a quote (custome made bits isn't a problem)

for a reason son! there "might" (and that's a very BIG might, depends on demand) be a quiet 182 YS going into testing soon

i'm pretty sure thats an old airfield in northern sweden, the metalists use it quite often (gatebil lot)

more power is cheating, its a bit like being an M3 owner ;) i get your point danny, people will always want to spend money on making their car "better" and thats fine! but i think people should really appraise their skills behind the wheel first. Firstly it will help to give an idea of what...

i say it to everyone that rings me up, sort the brakes and suspension first, get out have a laugh on track and learn how to drive, then come back and see me, seems daft as i'm in a way doing myself out of business, but that's what i did and how i learnt getting all het up about having this that...

^but that will gain you what? 5-7bhp on a good day (being generous!) which is worth naff all TBH! a well serviced, mint running car, with a decent suspension and brake setup, driven properly (really properly!) will keep up with (dare i say it!) a ITB car driven by an amateur! oh my flame suit...

even just do track days and get some experience under you're belt! i took a chap out in the dynacup the other week, he had a stock 172 and wanted cams etc etc, after i'd taken him out he wanted suspension and brakes ;) they're a quick car anyway, you just need to learn how to extact the best...

it was a lifetime guarantee for the original purchaser when i was there, to my knowledge this is still the same its quieter at 80mph than it is at 70mph if that makes sense (all systems bar 2 drone at 70, seems to be a certain frequency that occurs around then, one is the OE system and the...

that looks like sweden

i've fitted some v-maxx and tested them quite thoroughly, i'm yet to try out the k-tec gear v-maxx for the money were brilliant!

ooh i forgot to reply to your text, the rough surface is due to them using a harsh media to blast them (ie sand) prime them first and see how it is, if still rough use a filler primer powdercoat covers the "roughness" and creates a flat smooth surface

learn how to drive properly first, then start tinkering

and over £50 cheaper from me for all of it ;)

£115 from the dealership, ANY DEALERSHIP! so k-tec are erm, a bit steep (or just haven't changed their price yet)

that'll do then!! pardon my rant I f**king HATE E-BAY!

try young peter at autonation tech note from renault i read once, can't find it now, but it says NGK PFR6E-10 ONLY

GSF or ECP for the bits (even a motorfactor will do them) easy to do 1 13mm bolt 2 18mm bolts 2 torx screws 1 hammer happy days

to be sure!

ah you have ben_p's old engine is it still running like a bag-o? (mikey mouse injectors that are allegedly the same plus!)

i'm actually 75% paddy

bit like the irish you lot, but harder to understand

flat out everywhere will do

where you getting that price from?

decats? oooh do tell
