tbh, its going to be a massive improvement either way as the stuff in there is a hotch potch of ancient stuff and top ups from rebleeds over the years, I've been lazy! lol!

already for the blue s**t on stock chap so it'll do for now and if no good i'll change it again once I've got happy with the wilwoods :)

once the odyssey is retired from active duty when I get the RB 182 back next job is to strip the skirts off that and check the outer sills it was looking good from the inside and has had a wire wheel and krust/underseal treatment so i'm hoping and praying it'll be okay......

great build so far and love the carport/garage :)

epic bus is epic, good call retrieving it

welcome

still love that car with my all, superb phase 1

31-08-2017 Things to do review Thought I'd write up the current list of stuff pending to do with the car now the end of the season is approaching. Although I have Mallory in a few weeks, before which save for sorting the little niggles nothing else will be done, after that I have plenty to do...

Great news, always nice to have a good check over for piece of mind. And then you can be comfortable in your ownership knowing it's now perfect

I drop into the Abbey occasionally too, I live up the Valley in Ambergate, other side of Belper but i'll keep an eye (and possibly ear....) out for a minty phase 1 V6 :) lovely looking example and particularly love the engine cover!

yeah doesn't sound dephaser to me, just sounds like loaded alternator which you get after start as the battery recharges does it ever go away however?

there was a larger caliper carrier and disc that could use the standard calipers available at one point but can't for the life of me remember who made them and if any would still be floating about somewhere

mine used to drive me crazy, so I sold it and now run a janspeed which I threw at the car from 50 yards away and it hung perfect first go, flol!

rusty Renaults, ongoing battle it is tbh!

I paid 200 for around 1.5ft of rear sill like that on my mk1 recently, only one side, but inner and outer welded up solid

Totally fixable, bodge it up with some sheet steel, slap the skirts back on, done

as above, do the sum of sweet f**k all to help anything other than making your car look 'scene' or in other words, broken :)

yes, I have them on mine, best way is to convert to 172 wide track, so use everything from a mk2. mine has driveshaft's, wishbones, anti roll bar, hubs, brakes and I use Williams front struts with bolt holes eased out to fit 172 bolts and the 172 hubs have been machined narrower to accept the...

on a side note, never sure which way to put the springs, helpers above or below mains. The FK were mains underneath, KW's I've opted for the other way around based on just pics on the KW website showing them that way round!lol!

26-08-2017 KW V2 Coilover fitting After affixing the whiteline and rear dampers to the car, I also took the opportunity to fit my KW V2 front coilover units. I have used the stiffer 500lb aftermarket springs on them and set them to approx. half way on the dampening adjustment for now to see...

lovely, just lovely!

more than likely chap, I was down that way collecting the Wilwoods for my track car from @AshWebb around then

26-08-2017 whiteline and koni adjustable fitting So the weather was miiiiiint and had some time to kill, time to play with the chassis. If you look back over this thread I had a whiteline rarb that I was going to fit to the car. That was 3 years ago ish I think and since then it's sat on one...

most of Renaultsport's back catalogue

we got 16" rims on 172 phase 2 as standard over here

ai as above ensure you get the hose flow through the block itself also, they'll be coolant in that and just blasting the circuit from the header tank connections wont always get there

agree with above but also need a mk1 clio, obvious hole in collection is obvious ;-)

200T imo unless you get uber launch and mega gear changes in the 182 Fiat, nah but tbh who actually cares beforehand? just go have a giggle with your mates/missus and just enjoy the friendly competition, do you really need to know what every other fucker on the planet thinks before the fact?

lovely stuff :)

i'm just using the built in one on the forum these days
