I had it lower with softer springs on the back, I kept playing with it and raising it up because it drove s**t. How you bought it was as good as I could get it between being low and handling good. The biggest problem was that to keep the front the front lower or at least level with the back the...

Ma poor wee car!

Should have said ph2 sport subframe, I've not seen a ph1

Another myth, I thought they were the same but asked Adam to check part numbers earlier and they are the same. What wishbones have you got?

That's bad news, guessed that though because I wouldn't think someone would just fit a 1.2 antiroll bar. Get yourself a subframe and roll bar from a breaker, cup or sport they're both the same.

The wishbone mounting points are drilled further out, the hole centres should be about level with the edge of the flat part of the frame when looking up from underneath. Also the lower gearbox mount needs the hole drilled out on a non sport frame.

It might be worth checking it has the correct subframe fitted too and not a botched non sport one?

I've just had both shafts reconditioned on my cup. The local parts place organised it, they sent them to AMK automotive components. They were away for about 7days so it depends if you can do without your car? I had my gearbox out to be rebuilt so was off the road anyway. I paid £120 each. Done...

Your camera is crap, clearly has missed the 4th wheel on my car

I think it looks like number1. Another thing I noticed is the centre part of the dephaser looks off centre, like it's wobbling when it rotates. The toothed part looks ok though, is that normal?

The pointer in the u shape in th washer bit if that's what you mean?

I fitted a belt kit and new dephaser during the week, also re-sealed the cam cover. Everything was going well, had the car running for ages then went for a drive. Then at approx 3k rpm it started making a screaming supercharger sort of noise? I had the belt covers off today to check it and when...

If you take the top cover off the steering column (just pops off) you will see a black plug, take that off and put the resistors into there. I did the same with mine.

Im doing the same conversion to my 172 cup, i could do with a bit of advice please. What fuel rail did you use or how did you modify it for a return pipe?
