thats perfect chap, absolutely love it and dream of owning an RB 182 FF like it one day :-)

me + corpse bride first car was a 1994 RT clio, then I had first valver then had a laguna for a bit when I rebuilt engine in the valver had several polos mk 3 gt couple of 1.3 CL's a mk 4 1.4 cl in classy pink then I had...

as above, 197 is a nice little distraction from the real deal, sort it out ;) hehe!

out the top is a pain, frame off and bottom exit is the way, hour or so's job then if it goes smoothly, which these days it always does with the box being out so often! :)

I know its a very stressful job and its easy to get caught in a moment and believe a person presents a threat, and as you say there could be weapons involved that we do not know about from watching a video like that. however from the final sequence it seems very much to me like the bloke is...

ah right, although tbh I just drop the whole frame to do the mk 1 anyway, leave everything up top apart from 3x bolts to box from top box mount then undo 10 bolts or so for frame/side bars/4th mount/column and ball joint pinch and drop the lot so it hangs off the downpipe, box drops straight out...

I put another layer of wax on the roof and bonnet then ran out of time for the rest as it was dark! lol!

I've been through 13 I think now, but so easy to change and so cheap to buy that it doesn't really bother me and the early mk 2 172 boxes seem to be the best of a bad bunch, current ones done 3-4 track days and countless pod trips, although its now snatching 3rd most of the time and 5th aint...

should see 10, think clocked the mk1 at about 9-10 once, again just off video timer so not exactly accurate. get that box abused, they love it ;)

looks good, I seriously love RB, can even make a great big fat mk3 heffer of a tank look good ;)

glad you saved it though, shame to see them sitting rotting

ai, that's the way society should work, if someone does something wrong beat the s**t out of them and wear a uniform to make it all okay............:headno: I really do wonder about people sometimes, the guy behaved like a total idiot and put a lot of people at risk, but that's no excuse to...

Audi S3 < Vauxhall omega

reset the trip after filling tank this morning, did the normal work commute of 12 miles and its now sat up at 46.5mpg :)

I agree, if it was xerus grey I would have it in a second for 2k, but I have same Luke like dilemma, it would be my daily and living outside, on the street. personally I wouldn't feel bad about using it, but I feel the seller may do ;)

ai figured it would knock the tracking out, simple physics like ;) nice to have a ball park and tbh its fairly simple to track by eye to get it close enough to run about in prior to a proper track up with the sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads :)

ah furry muffs then :-)

Re: T17OJC current owner I quite like the cloth cup interiors tbh :o

£100 a wheel?!!!! jesus, did they paint them with gold enfused paint or in real platinum or something! looks much better de stickered but I actually preferred it on the white wheels, but I kinda have a soft spot for white rims....ahem!

EU = fail tbh for pretty much everything, rule fecking Britannia I say.

on a car I care about I would never skimp on parts.....................oh wait :o

lovely job Danny boy, do like to see a mk1 being looked after

I have an open IK on the 172, does sound absolutely epic on full chat, particularly as you rock onto cam at the 5-5.5 grand mark :)

on a side note, I presume the car has to be re-tracked once the caster is added?

Danny's prices are very competitive as far as I know for belt changes etc so its not far off the money for a none cup i'd say

isn't yours a bit tinkered with however young sir ;) in the ongoing saga I didn't reset the trip as yet and the car took a pasting up into the peak for climbing last night, so i'm back down at a lowly 41.8 again! :)

I do agree, mine runs and drives lovely but the delivery is a little.....interesting shall we say, all or nothing pretty much, the engine is capable of so much more so I would like stand alone to exploit that fact, especially now i'm getting into track more and more, it was all well and good for...

nail and head, this is the evolution, its happening right now and your all invited ;) i'm talking about my mk1 el chippio, 16psi turbo F7P @ 280 odd bhp on a dodgy fastchip map ;)

I dare not add mine up tbh, and that's only the stuff accounted for, I buy a lot of used parts through forums with no paperwork, and I've been through 12 gearboxes I think now at an average of probably about 100 quid a pop

Stand alone to map the thing properly and use the change to rip engine open and pop the forged rods in with new bearings and gaskets etc.
