just speak to Paul @ RDP (he's able to post fluids again now) for everything and yes i'd do the box oil if its not been done before, its cheap and easy to do

Keep a distance from it she's not bad for a 172k shitter, lol

that be me @MarkMchugh popping through to my parents in Cheshire, and the damn road was shut too so did couple of laps of Macc, lol!!!

nice llittle vid man :)

sounds a gem, shame to mess with it at all and tbh any un reversible mods will devalue it imo!

Yeah it's not a bolt on conversion unfortunately.

right spoke to him, he used 172 stub axle and caliper/disc but the central hub and wheel bearing from the valver pressed into it. then machined 2mm off the mating face of the 172 stub axle where it bolts to the strut as the valver strut flanges are closer together. also drilled out the strut to...

I think mate of mine managed to fit just the discs and calipers, i'll ask him what he did

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
