i dont know about everyone else but i would happily sacrifice 20 off the top speed of my 182 IF it got there alot quicker.

yes get the clio. the st should have always had 183bhp from factory - it was well underpowered from a 2ltr. so i wouldnt pay 1500 out of principle to get a car still not up to a 182's ability (IMO)

ive had a blast with 2 focus rs's (old ones now) and kept up with both in my 182. and ive driven one. they aren't that fast.

if i spent £50 on a car for my mrs, she would crush me...

thanks very much both of you for your help. i got on interweb and found someone local to me who'll do it for a great price but thankyou anyway. cheers, dave.

my local dealership charge £321.11 to change the aux belt. is that about right? :-/

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1083279.htm i think this would t**t all over a 182 lol running costs would be slightly higher i'd expect. my last car was a 306 rallye - you can tell much of a difference between that and my 182. the rallye pulled to 140 with 13 stone of ballast in the...

the hue and saturation slider is good for changing colours. you maintain all the natural highlights and shadows. use the hue for matching the colour generally, then tweak it with saturation :)

just of lincoln road mate near the crab and winkle, there's a few of us around so we should get a mini-meet or something going.

how much weight do you save doing this?

cheers! i got told off by the mrs for doing that lol. its not been cleaned for a few weeks and the black ones do look a bit flat most of the time. good old wax at the weekend hopefully. yours is mint, has it been lowered a bit? ive been thinking about chopping in for a 172cup in blue and...
