26-08-2017 whiteline and koni adjustable fitting So the weather was miiiiiint and had some time to kill, time to play with the chassis. If you look back over this thread I had a whiteline rarb that I was going to fit to the car. That was 3 years ago ish I think and since then it's sat on one...

most of Renaultsport's back catalogue

we got 16" rims on 172 phase 2 as standard over here

ai as above ensure you get the hose flow through the block itself also, they'll be coolant in that and just blasting the circuit from the header tank connections wont always get there

agree with above but also need a mk1 clio, obvious hole in collection is obvious ;-)

200T imo unless you get uber launch and mega gear changes in the 182 Fiat, nah but tbh who actually cares beforehand? just go have a giggle with your mates/missus and just enjoy the friendly competition, do you really need to know what every other fucker on the planet thinks before the fact?

lovely stuff :)

i'm just using the built in one on the forum these days

nice work man, as you say hopefully get out for a blast next week one eve, presume she's on the road now? who did the wheels and cost as well out of interest, got a set of F1's for the Odyssey I want doing!

yeah man, can try to get out and about :)

nice progress, I have the wiring loom job to do at some point, been putting it off for 4 years nearly....lol!!!!

23-08-2017 Trial Fit of Wilwoods So figured I would check the clearances on the Wilwoods and ensure they cleared my Speedline Maracanã (Turbine) wheels for road and my track OZ Superleggera, both 15" rims. Pictures can do most of the talking here but essentially, yes they clear both with no...

ai be shame to kill it, doesn't need to be a pretty repair if the sills are gone, just slap some plates on and good for few more years!

yeah I'm just up the road in Ambergate area and usually out and about playing cars when I get chance

looks like a right wreck tbh

One with the spacer I believe

Cheers matey, good to know! :cool:

ai as all have said, align it as is and use it, see how it feels and revise and improve from there I would guess better pads will be pretty much the first thing to do, 2500 are more a road based pad, I personally use CL RC6 although about to upgrade to wildwood 4 pots, 293mm discs and DS 1.11 pads

ai just use some Vaseline or similar on the ring....ahem

I have'n't @gez 172 i'm afraid, always been useless with videos, I used to have a gopro and recorded a few trackdays but never did anything with the footage all I have on youtube is a couple of starting and idling vids I think, that's it!lol!

last time I rebuilt mine I used mineral oil for 100 miles or so and just drove it 'sympathetically' so no redline but not mothering it completely either, then changed the oil and thraped it. cracked the block eventually but that was poor mapping and no sympathy on track, lol

Quick pic of the finished aerocatches

Teeny tiny update, just been using the car daily, nothing to report so fitted a new rear wiper blade as something to do, lol Old and split New and minty Cheers Ben

Wildwood spares arrived so can set about fitting them soon

I've had all the main ones, Milltek (poor quality but nice and subtle sound), Scorpion RS 192 (bit boomy and hanger fell off), Yozza, both old and new ones (mega loud, awesome, but so so loud. Both were beautifully made too, lovely things) and now running a Janspeed which is overall my...

my phase 1 has even more space under the arches, that's running 10m rear, 20mm front, ET36 and on its arse on coilovers, still doesn't rub unless I hit a bump on full lock!lol!!!

I ran mine with 10mm front and 5mm rear spacers and et36 wheels on cooksport springs with no issues so yeah you'll be fine!

yes will be fine at that slight change of offset, it'd be like putting on a 3mm spacer, naff all basically

that's the one

flol, epic build is epic! fair play for still sticking with it, did you buy a house and sell the rest of the fleet in the end?!
