Hi all, The bearings have gone on my engine, not ideal. Looking at secondhand engines at the minute. Question is, is it really worth it? I'm getting tired of how much its costing on fuel and insurance and I have a backup 106 quicksilver to scoot around in. I do love the car to bits though. I've...

Eibachs fitted today... result of an MOT fail....

As titled..... oil leak from cam seals = new cambelt :mad: Should I replace water pump at same time or are these strong? De-phaser being done, car is on 94k

Okay so checked all the injectors tonight - removed one by one, no stalling - so thats that theory crossed off the list? Checked throttle body too. All clean there. New lambda seems to be shot as mpg has dropped and power down again. Lambda was original fault thrown up when plugged in to...

Hi guys, Basically I've got major running issues assuming fuel related. Had the car on the diagnostics and it threw up lambda sensor, replaced it today - result... much better running, throttle response, even more power, mpg lept from 30 to 50 on the return journey, motorway cruise... winning...

Well folks after a two yr absense I'm back in the game.... Got myself a nice clean 182 with a piper system fitted by the previous owner. Now not that i want to get sucked into the power game again but I would like a nice decat to compliment the piper, but they don't offer one. Does another...

Looked lovely - was ahead on the dual carraidge way in the merc then you turned off onto the M6 around 4pm IIRC

Clip i found of my old cup :) PYA0u3hupHM lost a little traction in second as it was greasy but still went well despite the power shortage

Weds night about 10;40 near worsley an iceburg phase 2 keeping up with a 3.2 TT, sounded like it had a fruity exhuast too went well

parked up outside one of the townhouse apartments, first time i've seen a cup in the colour looked lovely :cool:

Moved over to let you pass, nice looking car. Was in the 172 cup :D

Saw you on blackpool road (i think) yesterday looking like you wanted to play with that cayman. Would have had a play but i had the female traction control on board. Was in the 172 cup next to you at roundabout looked nice on anthcite turini's :cool:

Very strange, has the wire corroded possibly?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1000642.htm thanks for looking, dont want to sell sonic so no silly offers!

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1000642.htm hope you like! i would prefer it go to a nice home from someone on here lol, anyone who knows me will testify to how much its cherished. i'm downgrading to an earlier phase 2 "full fat" so a part ex would be considered

Coming out of buckshall village, you headed under the M6 and gave me a wave at the lights :cool:

going oppsite way, i flashed you waved - nice, would have waved back but was busy heel and toeing into second for the roundabout lol

Need a new cat back for my 172 cup :) Already have Ktec janspeed decast fitted, been looking into my options i have been considering a powerflow custom system (burnley outfit) which is 2.25" including a silenced centre section for £275 fitted. Good price? Been told the burnley one is a good...

sorry if its a repost, just thought i'd mention it for anyone looking to buy, afew holes but not a bad write up IMO

Hi guys, theres been lots of threads recently asking about what can be done to improve power, so i thought i would start on a guide that we could all contibute to/update and maybe make a sticky I'm only an amatuer when it comes to these things so please correct me if i'm wrong :) or think the...

8200 220 384 power steering hose i've hopefully sorced the part but want to make sure this garage where the car is aint taking me for a ride (they quoted £200 :S) thanks in advance

just failed on me today going round a round about after a brief stint of hard driving on bumpy roads playing with an S2000, most wierd any idea's?

slight rattle enough to hear through the radio, only lasts till 4300rpm then goes away. does it whether revs are rising or falling also have a louder more pronounced rattle/straining from 6-8k, not good lol! any ideas? (cambelt is 4 months old and timing is spot on)

Okay guys been down to see my man with a friend (182) and he's going to knock up a stainless decat for both models and get back to me with the costs. He's happy to do a group buy for 5 of each, but more numbers will always help with the price :) Target pricing is £40 for 182 and £75 for the...
