It'll be perfect with the ph1 strips back on!

Re: Ph1 172 294 x 22mm Mini Cooper S Slept like a baby Scott! Had trouble getting out if bed, I hit snooze for 40 minutes!

Re: Ph1 172 Went in for mapping this morning but injector number 1 was knackered so ECP came to the rescue with a new one and mapping is going to start soon. Did a leakdown test and all was well so fingers crossed now for some decent numbers!

Have you considered Avo? They do a kit which is monotube front and twin tube rear, all height and damping adjustable.

Used a .cal fIle on my ph1. It worked well and didn't need a .rst file.

Ok :) thanks Dan

Re: Ph1 172 Did some tinkering today. Took an angle grinder to a 4 pot calliper then tried it in place. So next step is to machine it down properly and convert it to radial mount then decide on discs and makes some brackets. Also got a couple of pics to show how it sits now with the cup...

I took it out and I couldn't really make anything out from looking at it. But I blew a bit of air through it and it only came out of the top holes, not the middle or bottom ones.

You might have pinched the seal perhaps. Maybe need a new one, they're only around £3-4 from Renault.

Ahh, when I saw 182 being different to 172 I assumed they would be for the cup pack. You could always swap to non-cup front hubs. Cheap enough!

Larkspeed is cheapest. Get the rears and leave them on soft. Then get the fronts when you've got the cooksports. I run the same setup, it's great!

Koni yellow rears you want.

I'm tempted by the rear black bushes. Look forward to see how you get on with them.

Extra width (and thus camber) comes from the subframe. Extra caster comes from the wishbones. Eibach sportlines will most likely give the drop you want. As for shocks the 172 cup was a bit light than the 182 cup so whether the damping is greater in the 182 or not I don't know... The choices...

They're made from blanks which is good and they are the same profile as the catcams 428. Nothing amazing but a bit better than standard.

Looks great! Tidied that up a treat. The Williams wheels should stay. Not keen on the aerial though

Re: Road/Track 172 Looks well, how did it perform and how do you find the roll centre kit?

Re: Ph1 172 My filter is ok at the moment, I'll keep a close eye on it and change it when required. I decided whilst the weather was decent to change my Ph1 seats over to the 172 Cup seats I got from Carbonraider I gave them a clean and swapped the runners and pretensioners over from the Ph1...

Get some spacers on the front then you can run more camber.

089 has a 3.89 final drive. 129 is 4.07. Otherwise gears are the same.

Get rid of the tar pads on the floors!

Are they the Michelins? How do you find them and what suspension are you running?

I run the Federal RSRs all the time, they're cheap and cheerful and decent enough when its wet and quite acceptable in the dry However I was considering getting some medium compound slicks for nice dry days on a spare set of rims. They're cheaper than R888 mediums, and the DZ03G only come in...

Very nice, that makes two E36 on here I'll keep an eye on for when they get sold!

SRS...?!

Or it could just be something simple. Don't overlook the simple things ;)

The offset would be the same though so they'd stick out just as far, the 6J would be further away from the inner arch.

On the front, rear or both?

I had this issue. Put the key in, turn ignition on. Leave the key in for a minute or two. Ignition off. Then try and start it.

Nice work!
