Not my image, but its these exact seats

I'll be selling some Recaro Evo 8 Seats (Blue), with Jon Foz lower mounts once everything has settled down a bit. They fit really well and give much better support. I'm fitting some mk1 mx5 seats on the X-Low subframes as a temporary solution (possibly permanent if i like them), until i get a...

I've had 5 182's now, usually change for something that's suppose to be better and more grown up, etc. But miss the little Clio, so sell up and buy another. I was a little disappointed with the test drive on my current 182, coming from a Z4 3.0i (but i even had this coming from a 200 bhp diesel...

Depending on the service history, I'd say the price is about right to be fair for a well looked after 182 in any colour. At least as a starting point. Saying that my last BG only sold for £2.2k. That also had spax coilovers. But I think a clock change reduced the value, it also had a few...

That page has been going for years, yet as far as I'm aware there has not been a new RS2 sold in that time. I sold mine for around £850. And to be honest the car felt better with the standard intake and fatty induction. If you're at 190bhp now, a RS2 isn't going to give you any noticeable...

I've watched quite a few cars on copart, everything I've been remotely interested in has gone for silly money in my eyes, especially once factoring in the fees and vat, etc. Most cases you can find the same car on ebay/gumtree/facebook for similar money, without the commitment to buy without...

Anyone know where i can find the 'Correct Michelin Sport Contact 3 tyres' from?

Aviva have been the cheapest for me and the wife's cars the last few years by a decent amount. The Clio 182 with all mods declared was £250 the first year, then around £300 the second year. Greenlight and sky, etc all wanted around £550-600 last time i checked for the 182. It was actually...

Unless you're quite short, i'd definitely use Jon Foz X-Low frames. He's also very helpful before and after sales, and has been selling on this forum and many others for a good number of years. He's got a thread up on here with the product detailed and loads of pictures with different seats...

Awesome, that's pretty much what i'd hoped to hear to be honest. As said i was much happier with fresh AD08R last winter than a set of PS3 with 5+mm thread left, so provided they're pretty similar, i'll be more than happy. Kwikfit were the cheapest i could find, but also had 15% off until...

Don't think i'll be tracking the car anytime soon. My main concern was grip in the winter months to be honest. I've no doubt the dry grip in the summer months will be better than any normal tyre in 195/50/15. I tried a set of ps3 last winter that had around 5+mm thread left on a spare set of...

Decided to just buy them. Listed as AD08R on kwikfit, but I expect them to be AD08RS. Fitted price was £239 with the 15% discount code they've got running. Was tempted by the new Rainsport 5's, or Hankook Prime 3. But I think I'd miss the Yoko's in the drier months

Realised my AD08R are down to 2mm rear and 3mm front. Not ideal this time of year and explains my grip issues in the wet recently. Has anyone tried the new AD08RS yet? Seems they've changed the compound to to suit new regulations. Only seen a few comments on them up to now, but don't seem that...

I think it's just a 2ah battery from memory

Forgot I'd not replied to this. Honestly, it's not quite as powerful as I'd hoped. But it's probably fine for 95% of the bolts I'd need to undo on the car to be fair. And most of the bigger stuff is easy accessable with a breaker bar anyway. It will undo a wheel bolt for example, unless it's...
