Reminds me of the m25 on a monday morning! I guess thats what happens when you tailgate..

Thanks Rich! Can't wait to get started now!!

Im getting a pc for Christmas (thanks 182blue!) and I was going to do these steps:- Sonus Restore SFX3 Sonus Enhance SFX2 AG Super Resin Polish AG Extra Gloss Protection How would I be getting on with that lot? (Im blown away by the finish people people are getting on detailing...

Mine's on its way from the good 'ole USA! Thanks blue!! :)

Thanks Rich, I think i've got it! Just a couple more questions - sorry! Do both pads fit on the velcro backplate? and are both the SFX and DAS available in the UK? Cheers

Whats the difference? Looking at getting a pc 7424 from Autopia and wondered which kit I should get with it? Cheers

It has got a jet engine!!

I really like the ride on my standard 172. Its supple on the motorway and taut enough on the twisties. I think the short wheelbase of the clio makes it 'hop' sometimes - something you might not get with an LCR or similar. Also, I think you get used to a hard ride after a while - my old ITR was...

Really interested in the janspeed. Just a few questions! 1. Are there different tailpipe options? I quite like the unrolled finish eg. latest m3 style. 2.How much is the system? 3.How much did your insurance go up by? Thanks!

Ive heard this to be quite common on 182's cos in the factory they didnt lube the faces before fitting the wheels (saving money!) You can shift them by slackening the bolts off then lowering the car back down. This should cause the wheel to twist slightly and so release it. Hope it works for...
