Day before my last uni exam I'm affraid. Yes next time though!

@SharkyUK Thanks Andy. I ran through your thread quickly earlier and saw yours was from TTV so assume you've spoken to them. Great explaination of the different factors which input the decision on weight. When n/a it was a no brainer but with boost it's of course a different kettle of fish. I'm...

I'm wondering is why this appears to be the rule of thumb as there must be science behind it. Of course the turbo works off energy in the exhaust and that by having a car which revs quicker helps that. Of course gear changes the engine drops rpm quicker, reducing exhaust flow, but then picks it...

This is a topic which could probably have people arguing for days. Google doesn't really help and all of the gtr, evo and mx5 forums have never really come to a definitive answer. I enjoyed my lightened flywheel on my old n/a 182 and how responsive the engine was but with boost on the horizon...

I would go straight for a cage with harness bar. Then you know you're safe. Why risk your spine over a few £!

On track cars you're allowed to commit colourful sins so something bright. My cup is Mondial and Ford Signal Green

Looks great that video on the side of your lid!

To me that sounds like there are some broken wires in various places. Check for voltage drop and continuity in the wires which are in each of the circuits for those items. Circuit actuator relay doesn't really mean anything other than perhaps there is an issue with one of the many relays.

I had non genuine discs from euros for £10 a side with non genuine bearings in (£7 a side) and J&R abs rings. Lasted for absolutely yonks with no problems at all. The rear brakes are used so little you really needn't have anything special. Defo do need to have that 175nm torque setting though...

the non-sport one is the same fitment. I bought discs and had the bearings pressed in. Saved a huge amount of money.

I bought these because I have a white and red LED dash conversion. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391318254387 They do other colours though :) It would still light up just not display the radio details. The bulbs are a terrible design by renault and were updated to PLCC-4 LEDs in later cars with an...

bulbs will have gone in the back they're 509t fitment. I'm just about to replace mine with some LED ones to avoid it happening in the future. I would personally try and get dome topped LED to allow for better light dispersion across the displays.

this is the one from my cup track car. This is the one from my old DCi with 172 running gear.

Sorry! Me neither! I have a cut off switch just to disconnect the battery when the car is unused for a while. I am going to be sorting FIA cut offs though. You have the powercable and the ignition through the cut off to with a resisted earth. This is the diagram I found on the net to help with...

Will do although they were all brand new when fitted. Put the wheels with the biggest weights on the back :) They are you're right. I had rainsport 2's before and 16s and still had the same problem annoyingly. This isn't happening when giving it some though, it happens when I'm on the motorway...

Only feels a bit light in the middle. Like in an old car. Yeah was like this before changing the wishbones too. As Renault only supply the additional caster wishbones now I've got those. Uni royal rain sport 3 all round 195/50/15

Recently I've done a huge amount of work to my 182 as the steering felt really twitchy and had the tendency to snap to one side of the other quite easily. After changing the parts it is better but by no means does the car feel tight. I can only describe it as it feels like there is a strong wind...

I know someone had a golf which the boot flexi with wires in had chafed, the wires had broken and were earthing on the boot lid blowing the central body module fuse.

shouldn't need to no. This is a bit from a french forum on how to correctly configure clocks. To perform a configuration dashboard, follow the essential steps below: 1 - Make a multiplex network test and ensure compliance. If the multiplex network is not compliant (see MR multiplexing). 2 -...

I just use non-adhesive loom tape and then the standard conduit. Obviously that's my interior loom. The exterior loom uses a lot more conduit. Think @NorthloopCup used heatshrink.

Always difficult to diagnose over the net but! I assume you've checked the wires to the ECU whilst the ignition is on incase you're getting voltage drop. I would go through the whole circuit and checking for continuity and also check for the place where the voltage drops. Did you hard wire the...

Oh lordy lord. I have to resist reading the previous pages because a mod list would be made before even getting one. Stunning car though! Much want for imola red M3, wish they'd put of selling until August.

Also, make sure you check the condition of the ABS rings. I took my running gear off at the weekend and noticed a ring was really corroded but not broken. Now have a light occasionally and pedal farts.

You do into connection unit, configurations and then change the speed setting to ABS. From memory the ignition needs to be off for this to work but I can't remember as haven't done it for a while. It gives you all the instructions as you're doing it. Below example is from a diesel with slightly...

I think it's time to lose the last word of the title..... Make sure you get some good snaps of tomorrow!

It may well be worth calling the likes of dupont and asking for a recommendation from them. If there's someone that will know it's them. I used to work for a car insurer in Tunbridge Wells and still know a lot of the estimators so will ask around to see who's good and bad. Look for PAS125 kitemark.

@R-Sport Cars LTD will know a few I'm sure I only know of motorcare in Tunbridge Wells, really can't go wrong with them but won't be cheap.

Clocks aren't clipped together properly causes that

there must be a break in the circuit for the light to be on solid. It's quite likely to be an earth if you've done the gearbox. Earth for the decoder ring is on the right top of the dash although this is likely to be working correctly as the key is recognised. The ECU earth is the one on the...

Yep, bit missing which attaches to the subframe support.
