Nothing new to report at the mo, still cranking the daily duties. Just down in Welwyn Garden City for work and clocked 192 mark and still returned 44mpg on the trip computer (real world calculated is about 6 lower ish) On the fence at the mo, the rear arch needs work but is it worth it........

21-02-2019 Boot badge refurb Refurbished the badges on my boot strip, over time they turn white and eventually wear away the lettering completely. 15 quid sticker kit from Ebay and good as new. The kit itself is superb, fitment perfect, finish perfect and hopefully longevity will match, time...

My alpine is w**k for normal aerial tbh, parrot in it works great though and I've stuck mic up drivers a pillar too although going to move it go centre roof area by map/interior light as every time I put visor to side I knock the thing off, lol

Hideous things, but deftly wiped with a rag sir, well played. Interior looks so dated too, and it's one year old, crazy

Cruised past the premier inn about half four today. Looked clean although wheels looked odd but missed a proper look 55 plate

Looking lovely @arg_carra Any progress pics?

yeah hopefully it'll be a giggle at Cadwell next month @M4ck1

check the hinges, open door fully and then lift it up and down from the furthest point and look for play also check the catch adjustment, you should be able loosen the latch on the door shut side on the chassis itself and drop it slightly to account for any hinge wear/play on the door itself...

nice project this, and so nice to see a clean and pretty much stock 172. Iceberg suits them so much more in phase 2 than phase 1 imo as well.

that piston is not fully wound in imo, should sit almost flush to body of the caliper

Used to go on loads back in the mid 2000's with the mk1 lot, always a spin out somewhere. these days we all still 'hang out' but tend to go on trackdays instead

I can't recommend a proper map enough, the RSTuner is just the hardware used to flash the map on and off the ECU, that's used by most tuners who map a car on stock ecu. The off the shelf maps that come from Henk at Fastchips are what are usually bundled with the RSTuner module sold to public. A...

Shame you're selling chap in all honesty, so much love and work gone into the car. Makes me sad

I would hazard a guess its same in your car, just a sensor in the back of the box. just follow the guide to replace for a 172/182 and see if its there

nice, good to see another saved

04-02-2019 Cam timing and remap Took a trip over the pennines today to visit @bloke to get the 197 cams timed in then straight over to see Chris at EFi for the whole setup to be mapped. Cold and foggy trip in a car with no..... well no anything really. But the result was a surprise to say the...

Don't, it'll just ruin all the hard work and make you sound like a 17 year old driving about imo

Very nearly

Sounds like more injectors to me, but code reader will help

Ooft that's low on all and knackered on one

Agreed, an RB deserves to be loved

Jesus, that's more than one a year, lol

Still so impressed with how you've lucked out with this shell old bean

the F7's do use oil, even had a sticker in the window to say top up every 1000 miles, lol!

As above, comp test it and if that's okay just keep topping up. Mines just starting to use half a litre or so between oil/filter services now which I do every 6k. 192k on original engine though so think it's entitled to drink a little now!lol!

All the 'yoofs' are now on the Facebook groups, .net is now the old folks home. I joined 2005 I think at 22, nearly 36 now and still got the clio virus. But it appears despite my many long years of service here I am but a whipper snapper

last time mine did this it was the earth pin on the connector block on the wiring loom for the drivers side rear cluster. It bends out over the years of lights being removed and refitted and makes poor contact with the actual light cluster bulb holder assembly. Quick bend back with a small flat...

I'm not 100% but as the rear push button to open the boot is totally different I presume the metal is a different shape too

Just make sure you get phase 1 boot as they're different aren't they?
