Fraid not Martin. as mentioned I've had to remove the link pipe on the exhaust currently, rendering the car immobile, due to the linkage fouling completely on the lambda.
review to follow when I hopefully refit the exhaust at the weekend and 'give it some' :)
Acquired a PMS kit for a 172 other week for a decent price
Fitted it to the mk1 track car this weekend with basically no modifications (small filing out of one hole on the base which I think was perhaps drilled wrong anyway as its was offset from the others)
Pretty sure I'm the first person to...
oh, I also replaced the alternator for the spare I picked up and sussed out part of the issue. Like a plank I had attached the adjustment bracket to the wrong side of the flange on the block, thus meaning I had to use the spacer. I have moved the bracket to the correct side and now, bingo no...
Fitted my new oreca wrap round seats and PMS shifter this weekend just gone
The PMS shifter fitted no problem to the mk1 and I think I'm safe in saying I'm the first to do this. All I have to do was file one of the mounting holes out slightly to fit the chassis mounting studs.
Adjustment took...
Uno for a bit just to say you've owned one. god awful things though, mate of mine is restoring his currently, engine hands out the front like no-ones business so handling is.....interesting. (especially since he's now fitting a coupe 16v turbo lump into it)
then sell it and but the 5 and chuck...
same rules apply, brembo of some form if you can get them, solid vented, and decent pads that wont fade/surrender with a bit of heat in them
I have no experience of pagid pads, always used ferodo or CL
unlucky chap, sorry to see the liquid yellow beast die a death :(
glad your all okay though
Cadwell is a fapping nightmare in the rain, did an evening session in the turbo few years back and it changed halfway as the rain started, I was still out on the slicks too, soon as they rain came a bit...
cross threaded them?
you can fit much much longer bolts as the hols go right through the hubs, but what happens is the wheels wont turn as the bolts foul on the hub.
so 45mm should wind all the way in easily
that's bad, I commute 12 miles each way a day in the 182, averages 39mpg on the clock and pretty much exactly that when I work it out too.
so as above, lambda pre cat would be my first port of call and then reset the clocks
defo change it if your selling, low miler with everything just done should sell well
if you don't replace it, but list it with belts done it'll get questioned why when you sell
