So just had it back from getting the injectors changed, K and N air filter and scorpion exhaust. Exhaust much quieter than the Ktech one ( bad thing) but otherwise running so, so, soooo much better with the injector and lambda change. It never felt quite as frisky as my previous 182 and it...

Ah yes round two of upgrade Andy is putting in a K and N filter putting in new sensors, injectors and changing the K Tec exhaust for a Scorpion 192 exhaust. So it will run better than the day it was new. ( old exhaust up for sale by the way). Piccies below of the beautiful as new engine in...

If any aren’t picked up for any reason I am looking for a pair.

Thanks for this which like the group buy I was too slow on. Still looking if anyone has one suddenly appearing. Thanks again

Hi All As you might have seen from the thread last year I dug deep and did a full rebuild of the engine and gearbox. The last bits to get it back to like new is the correct shocks. Not fussed on condition as long as it’s good enough to refurb. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help...

And this now looks epic! Andy has done a great job. Short trip from here to the engine bay and some locomotion - may even treat it to a new oil cap.

Had PS3's before and changed to AD08's for track. On track the PS3's are very soft and rollover so you wear up the side of the sidewall. In the dry I think better than the PS3's and Ok on road although the PS3's are face in the rain the Yoko's not so good but not bad at all. Fine on road too.

Gordon agree Andy is a good man - He has been a bit busy of late so taken longer than anticipated but quality of what he is doing seems very good. Her are some more piccies

Just finishing the engine refresh. ( more picks shortly) Running Bilstein suspension but want to have a set of shocks in the garage for the time that the Bilstein need changed. If anyone has a spare set kicking around for a reasonable price then please say and probably looking for a set needing...

All nice , clean and shiny now[ well the outside of the block anyway/QUOTE] More photos of the development All new bearings , new synchro n gearbox etc etc Carbon cleared off. Bores amazingly still had original cross hatch marks although one piston had small pitting round gummed oil control...

Hi looks good do you have a picture of the front / instructions as this looks great. Thanks Mike

Ah well after a few weeks and many shiny new parts arriving Andy Cochrane is getting on with the strip down , clean, inspection and rebuild. Turns out the only thing really wrong was two oil control ring being gummed up . However we are going the whole hog and getting everything replaced...

Actually changed my mind and decided to go for the whole engine rebuild, refresh, paint the block engine bay and all ancillaries that need changed. Again showing a classic inability to sell cars!

Guys thanks very much for all the input. The car is indeed up in Fulham although with Andy at present. Andy is working at Renault at Hanger Lane but also does his own work. Will have a look at the Facebook site for the shocks if we keep it. For the moment though I will put it up for sale at 3k

Clio Conundrum In a quandary over our Trophy. We bought it three years ago as a replacement for our 182 which we had almost restored to new having spent 3 times what we paid for it on replacing and updating the bits and getting it sparkling. (Although this spend is not as bad as my Mini...

Do the shocks have dust covers and bumps stops please? If so can take them
