I've not got a 172, but a 182 for grabs if you were interested? ^^

Still don't know whether I'm doing the right thing by selling up or not... but I'll judge it by how much interest comes about. I might start to enjoy it more.

That was quick!

mattbill · 31 Mar 2011 at 15:10

^^ far too quick eh! The main problem for me is the Clio lacks anything special. Feels too normal, which is a shame as I've liked these for a long while.

Tim:

I'd love a Vtec CRX

... main issue is the price has gone up and the majority are rusty. This 1.5 I've seen apparently has zero rust, which is 1 of the main reasons I want it! The 1.5 engine will be good for a while and if the shell is completely rust free... B18C :cool:

loltim · 31 Mar 2011 at 15:12

I can't even picture what a 1.5 looks like. is it the del sol?

mattbill · 31 Mar 2011 at 15:13

It's a MK2... looks near enough the same on the outside. This one I've seen is an import.

Little update:

Got my numberplate through, a huge improvement for such little cost!

Some more goodies arrived, too. For a bargain price of £29 inc. delivery!

Camber bolts have been ordered and I'm hoping they'll arrive tomorrow, as it's booked in to Advanced Automotive to have the geometry done. If not, it'll need to be booked in again once I know how what camber shims I'll need following the initial read out.

Cambelt and de-phaser is being done Saturday, too.

Nearly there.

^ Nice.

Where from?

Does look like a really clean example Matt, if I was in the market for a 182 would snap that up

Would you be able to measure the shim plate hole sizes and position for me?

Im trying to find some suitable things for my Insight to tune the rear camber/toe and I dont like the plastic EX Shims although they make the adjustment very easy.

Any clios run Eibach(SPC) EZ shims?

MikeHiow · 31 Mar 2011 at 17:37

I can do, although I'm not sure how much use that'll be to you on your insight?

These are the items the Clios use: http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.ph.../renault-clio-mk2-1-rear-camber-shim-set.html

It could offer a range of off the shelf shims I can use to space the hub from the rear beam in the same way you do on an Clio....

MikeHiow · 31 Mar 2011 at 19:07

Shouldn't be too difficult to make these plates up, I would have thought?

If I need more than 2 sets (ie. 2 degrees), although doubtful, I'll probably buy one and make the rest up.

Jonnycoupe · 31 Mar 2011 at 19:12

I agree easy enough to make up, just getting a decent supply of 'shim metal 'or getting plates linished is an option... however so is off the shelf as I'm trying to get a solution for the many other insight users. The permutations of 4 holes on a plate are pretty limited

Conversely if you can make them I'm happy to provide data and money for you to do so for my Honda.

It's unlikely I'm affraid. The more I save now the less mortgage I will need (can repay straight back) in a few months, so saving is taking priority at the moment!

However at the next strongman meet (my first) I'm happy for you to have a ganders and take you for a hoon.

Where and when?

Matt - Have you got a pic of the crack? I might be interested. I'll give the insurers a shout tomorrow to see what they'll be charging.

Ok awesome, ta! I've just taken these... the crack is on the drivers side and on the edge of the screen. Doesn't interfere with the drivers view

Once you have spoken to your insurers, if you decide you would a look feel free to drop me an email. It's in my trust!

Be sad to see it go ... They are a lot of fun :-)

MikeHiow · 1 Apr 2011 at 10:15

I'd love a Trophy.

daveski · 1 Apr 2011 at 10:15

Mike - where were the brake lines from?

Maccy · 1 Apr 2011 at 10:18

That's a good price for a Trophy too, dayam.

I bought it very cheaply from a friend because it needed all of that work doing

If an OcUK member wanted to purchase id be happy to talk
