you should get away with it.. i've done rack bushes before and didnt drop the frame i reckon you should be able to pull it out but for what it takes i'd just loosen all the subframe bolts and lower it down a nats

why, you mean an organic clutch? you realised the idea of a paddle clutch is greater clamping pressure.. going back to an organic clutch would be defeating the object unless he were to run a multiplate helix one well impressed with the project mate

yeah, but the only cup that dosn't have abs is the "real" 172 cup

i've done it before a few times... you just drop the exhaust down as far as you can its akward getting to the top but it can be done i've welded a backbox completely back on a 172 in situ in the past aswell
