    Decent front brakes for a standard 172 Cup?

    Had Brembo discs up front on my last overhaul. Standard OEM ones on the rear. Found that the Brembos tend not to get much in the way of surface rust when the car has been parked after rain also.

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    Had a few delivery drivers ask about mine as it's parked on the drive, next to the front door. While I like people asking questions about it, there is that glint of paranoia about it. They are 99% most likely genuinely interested in it. It's the remaining 1% that you don't know about.

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    True. That Fiesta couldn't have been worth sod all though - strange that it would even be targeted. Unless is was pure opportunity. It's like the modern cars that all have their wing mirrors folding. Any scroat can visually scan a car park and see which one is unlocked. They might not have the...

    As always - very impressive stuff that my brain would probably comprehend 1% of!

    12-year-old Fiesta with 100k on the clock getting stolen. Seemingly any 'ol s**t is still fair game. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp08kmk4eo

    Do you have one of those protective covers on the wheel underneath as well?

    I know. And I've never had any issues with mine at all. I just don't know why this has crossed my mind recently.

    Thanks all - Disklok it is then. Do they do one big enough for the truck-sized steering wheel in the Clio? ;) I've always had that inverse view that being seen to 'overly' protect your car, might attract more attention? I'll just have to get over that!

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    Not sure why I've been having some concerns of late - but it has crossed my mind to get some form of security deterrent for the 182 in the form of a DiskLok or similar. Just wondering what people's views and experiences are? I know full well that they won't stop someone determined - but if it...

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    Sounds like they have bitten off more than they can chew. And the recent reviews reflect this..... "An Update on the Future of Assetto Corsa EVO With Release 0.5, we want to take a moment to share an important update about the direction of Assetto Corsa EVO, shaped by ongoing discussion and...

    Gaming/office chair

    Their sales support has been great too. Had a slice in the leather of the seat base underneath - so clearly not visible and it didn't really bother me. However, I contacted them and they sent me out a replacement seat base FOC - all I had to do was pay for the delivery. Did that and they...

    Two years on from my last post on this thread, still using my SecretLabs chair daily.

    Repair or replace Clio 172

    Simple really. The thousands I've spent on mine over the years was purely to continue my enjoyment of it. I'm not owning it for any financial gain and also for the fact that the last one I saw on the road was around September last year. Given their age and what they are designed for - they are...

    Happy birthday 182

    Don't be saying that. Mine's on its 2nd, but that must be from 10+ years ago now. Hopefully that doesn't mean a new one soon.
