Eibach Sportlines?
No need to spend several hundred quid replacing the OEM rotten mild steel exhaust

Lots of win
*However I still agree with the Potato on not using spacers that look:
A) 1000 years old
B) Aren't hub centric so are a right pain to fit and centralise
C) Threads that appear worryingly short and more to the point look as if they're made of cheese?
Well I'm sorry to say... you are partially quite wrong :rasp:
This misconception has come up on here before. I'm sure they'll also be a lot of stuff on the internet about this classing it as a "common misconception."
Let me first make this clear - I would still keep the OEM design for a...
How do you feel about this? (serious question)
Whilst I appreciate you're upset at not getting the brilliant returned-stock bargain that you thought you were getting, by the sounds of things OCUK have A) acted exactly as they are obliged to do by distance selling regs, and B) Shown a similar...
You get what you pay for.
* OEM is clearly a flawed design but does last OK ish
* Cheap pattern parts on eBay are rubbish IMO, last maybe 8 months/4000 miles
* Search for "exhaust mount mod" on here. £8 ebay mount + £6 powerflex bush from ECP + your time = Cheap mount that will last longer...

Why are people so lazy? Literally quicker to google it than ask on here! :)
When adding to basket be sure to pick the right car in the drop down...
Some good ones appearing in the classifieds on here at the moment hsdn555. Can't stress how much it's worth holding out! It's always the way that you don't see anything you like or within 200 miles for a month, get impatient, buy a car, then a fortnight later 3 epic bargains come up at once...
Not gonna get a brand new exhaust for anything less than £330 and that's already a group-buy discounted price. Look in the group buy section for scorpion RS192.
Personally I'd wait it out in the classifieds on here. Be looking to pay £250-£270 for a used Scorpion or Ktec exhaust. Maybe a bit...
All racing cars where regulations permit (F1 to Formula Ford, GT1 to GT4 cars, touring cars, rally cars) - relatively high profile tyres. Sporty road cars - low profile tyres. As far as choosing a tyre profile for minimum laptime goes - who do you think is doing it right? ;)
I am just playing...
No reason why not. Really worth buying enough scales for each wheel though, saves much faffing.
Some lovely wireless longacre scales only measure to half a kilogram anyway (which is what, 0.05% of total vehicle weight anyway...)
This idea doesn't really fit in with "cheap as possible." E.g. looking at the range of coilovers on the Ktec website, they are all height adjustable (maybe this is what you mean?) but the cheapest set with adjustable damping is £600 (Gaz) and that will still only be 1 (or possibly) 2 way. Spax...
Which presumably makes it an E7600, which rather underlines the fact that you're buying a big screen with lots of RAM as opposed to a high performance computer.
Yeah the standard tail pipes are distinctively small once you've seen a few cars with a mix of aftermarket/OEM so it's easy enough to spot. The standard items are mild steel and are notorious for corroding very quickly and are £700 odd from Renault (for an exhaust that will fall apart again in...
Still has a standard exhaust - likely to be extremely corroded at best and blowing/MOT advisory at worst. Stainless backboxes start from about £350+ new (Scorpion RS192 currently in group buy @ 325) or £250 second hand.
Wheels need a refurb (£50 + patience if you can DIY)
As above enquire...
Slightly less tenuous as you make out given they're all (IIRC) one make and model of spark plug & other people in those threads saying they've heard bad things about the same plug.
However of course I'm not saying anything non-OEM blows up - as you'd be right in thinking that does sound...
Anymore choice moving of suspension pickup points this year?
The LWB pickups are probably the best chassis modification anyone's done on this forum IMO. Better way to do it than the RC correction kit for example (not knocking the kit at all).
Admiral told me company policy does not let them take into account the following when valuing my 182:
Condition (because everyone will claim theirs is "good")
Colour
Service history (really annoying given cambelts are worth £500)
Optional extras (policy document does state these are...
