When you do the above, measure it properly with a steel rule & set square then draw me a nice diagram please? :)

Ride height & impractical tyre profile screams McDonalds IMO on an otherwise harmless car.

The problem with getting really cheap quotes at 19 is that as you grow up, move out, commute due to a job, add a few decent mods because you can afford stuff with said job ...it just sort of never gets any cheaper than living with parents in an area you couldn't afford yourself, part time job...

Why aren't you happy with cornering performance? And don't say "too much body roll" lol! You certainly wouldn't notice the left to right difference. Of course the difference isn't ideal, but both numbers are reasonable and it's the result of mass production and tens of thousands of miles.

I know CS thinks spelling is for people with "too much spare time" but the irony of spelling toe wrong in a post about suspension basics is a little bit amusing :p

Flame red looks so good when it's cared for!

You're not going to be able to see 4.5mm (that's the arch gap/ride height difference between) on a picture the size of a car or wheel. Visually the brand of tyre, shape of sidewall etc will make much more difference than the labelled size. For one tyre sizes are generally only within 5-10% of...

EFA ;) Still far less boy-racer than anything Ford or Vauxhall.

Ph2 172 & 182 are the same. Difficult to see from that pic. You need the airbox, including bolts & bushes/washers & the cold air feed. Your car might also be missing the acoustic valve. In which case you want that too including the fixing bolt (I personally wouldn't bother with the acoustic...

Bozo's got the gist of it in one line. As a point of interest sticky tyres will actually significantly increase body roll since you're putting more lateral g through the car. The main thing to grasp is that body roll is only bad for "dynamic" camber angle (so the camber angle when the car is...

You really didn't a very good example... :( "Hindsight is a wonderful thing"

Sorry, didn't realise you were "dumbing down." Didn't really think that was necessary in this sort of thread.

Link?!?! It's the only thread in the "spotted" section ever to have the title "two sexy ladies in a 182" and then goes on to ask them to private message him LOL... As a serious point, the idea behind solid mounts is that throttle response is improved because when you press the accelerator you...

^^^ Or capacitors for that matter? Anyway... Shut down your computer, unplug it, then press the power button. You'll probably be shocked to find lights come on, drives & fans spin up for 2-3 seconds... Would anyone like a 92mm red LED thermaltake thunderblade fan? Powered by 4 pin molex, has...

For 400% of the price LOL?!?! Drilling into silicone isn't the cleanest due to the cord ply in the centre, then you have the problem of making a clean, robust & air-tight seal. If you're trying to do it cheaply but correctly just buy an oil breather filter. They're probably like £5.

I don't think any one will ever beat the guy who bought Ktec "RACE" engine mounts, then made a thread & video complaining that it vibrated. EDIT: NVM this thread & anything this week was just trumped by the craigslist-style "personal" ad in the spotted section LOL!!!

GrahamS, no no you've got the right technical term (offset) for the way you intend to try to do this - I was just clarifying exactly what it meant and hence how to work out how much money you "save." If you get the bottom of the exact ltd company numbers (dividend tax + corporation tax...

Knuckles draws stuff.

Front hub nut - put the car back on the ground so that you've got best part of 3300 newtons helping you, then crack the hub nut off with a large breaker bar, then once you're happy it's only ratchet tight jack it up again before undoing it any further.

I think the underseat sub still wins against a compact boot sub for the sort of people reading this thread. I don't really care about losing 150x250x250mm of my boot as I loose that anyway with the jack, tyre foam, jump leads, a coat etc... I just don't want the car to have a single ounce of...

What an astonishing amount of people fail to grasp is that you're still making an overall loss to the tune of £2400 (obviously you know this Chip, just directing this at others). Classic example is subsistence. People buy breakfast & lunch in the staff canteen & claim tax relief (£5 for...

As above x2, plus I've got a KTP445. Underseat sub sounds ideal TBH. Looking forward to letting a dedicated speaker do a sensible amount of a frequency that it's naturally designed for, thus freeing up the components to do their own thing with the assistance of the KTP. Presumably you'd have...

Cheap but dedicated under seat sub doing <200 Hz plus standard/cheap components doing 200 Hz - 25 KHz off an 18W RMS headunit vs 45W RMS driving four 5.25" (which obviously aren't suited to sub 200 Hz) Preference ?????

IR35 says no. "Permanent place of work" rules that umbrella companies go by will say "no." "Intention of future contracts" rules will possibly say "no." i.e. You'll basically pay the same(ish) amount of tax as if you were salaried. They're unlikely to pay you a higher rate than a...

Ah, no sorry "modest" was very misleading. It should have said "modest compared to what the headline figure said." You don't get "raped" as you put it it's just you'll never earn anywhere near the advertised figure. E.g. advert may say 100k, they'll interview you for a 60k position because...

Tbf the title wasn't "Contracting in IT, What Think?" so it might happen :p

This LOL. You look how cheap a flight to a nice country is and think "wow, I know someone who I can stay with so that saves hotel & travel, I could have a cheeky long weekend in the Med & I'd only have to work for XYZ hours to pay for the entire holiday, spot on!" And then you realise it's...

Things to consider: * Commuting (TIME as well as cost, do you really want to spend 2/3 hours a day simply "waiting") * Always "the new guy" and hence lower in rank than the tree outside reception (despite pay & specialism) * Might not receive proper training, go on courses or progress you're...

Either Gudger did some CFD in his lunch break once, or it's an amusing joke. I wouldn't fancy surface modelling an entire Clio body to CFD a dive plane though lol!
