Brilliant! Me and a mate were eyeing this up at FCS cos he's going to pick up one in the same colour on friday! Looked stunning.

I echo the comment about tyres. I would say get a splitter (carbon would match your car better) and spray your boot button white! I really don't understand why hardly anyone n CS colour codes the boot button - makes it look soooooooo much better!

I wouldn't personally. The JC5 gearboxes are known for being a bit s**t so I wouldn't take the risk by rushing the box with a short shift link if you plan on keeping it for any length of time.

A 172 ph2 flamer and a black 197 parked up both for sale?

I think it's exactly what I said it would be :) (same car as mine too)

arctic blue 182 ff where some plank has put cup badges on

dirty/sticky idle air control valve would be my guess. take it out and spray it with some carb cleaner

+1 to what everyone else has said. If you take all of the carpet, rear seats, trim etc from your car it will make more of a difference than the £1300 you wanted to spend. Service it and drive it. If you are dying to go faster strip it out and cam it. It'll still be a clio though. Or buy a cammed...

Haldex is used in the A3 and TT and the (proper) Torsen system is used in A4, A6 etc which is the full on mechanical 4wd. Haldex as far as I know is front wheel drive until it decides it needs to send some to the rear, which can sometimes be halfway round a bend...

My e30 has one too

think its a seat cupra one, car would be perfect without it imo

Started the phase 1 up, went to move it forward a bit so I could get in the boot and the car didnt move but went into gear fine. Suspected diff circlip. Im gonna scrap the piece of s**t!

Tbh mate if TDF fitted them and damaged your bonnet in the process I'd be phoning them up and asking them to sort it..

Quite possibly, but powder coating is a thicker/heavier coating and is more industrial so it's no surprise the finish wasn't as good tbf. I'll be surprised (but pleased for you) if you get the set done for £60, especially if they're getting rid of the scuffs etc. How so - see my comment about...

I've had a set powdercoated before (not at bham) for £20 and the finish wasn't very good and I ended up having them done again. Cheap places like that are fine for gates and railings etc but I will never take them a set of wheels again.

Think I saw you today Feirny on the A1 or A52 going south

Sounds about right, though you forgot the bout where he spent £42 on spark plugs and however much on a front grille, all of which could (should) have gone towards the belts..

LOL no it's not. Lower calorific value. Wouldn't call it muck though tbh.

lol mate - don't bother. Your wise words will obviously fall on death ears. I took the interior out of my phase 1. Again!

did a 90 mile round trip in the 182 today mainly motorway but some town driving with speed bumps etc. had the climate on full blast - Trip showed 46mpg for the journey. Had 1 passenger and a spare engine lol

Silver > All

Aye, I agree.

Yup - A mate of mine got a set of simple 6 spoke 17" wheels done.. £350. Looked f00king good though.

Hmm, What was it you said in your other thread? Yeah. Car wasn't a bargain but about right. I paid muchhhhh less for my 182 which is in a better colour and has both cup packs. Yes it also needs the belts doing. Has 55k so not spaceship miles either

I think any crack longer than 40mm fails the mot

Re: seat bet cleaner?? I can't see it either - would someone be kind enough to copy it over please?

I think someone has had a replacement windscreen on my 182ff and not had the rain sensor put back on. If I want the auto lights/wipers to work again is it as simple as just buying a sensor off someone breaking a car and fitting it? cheers

Few dents I'd like rid of, might just get new doors though not decided yet.

Not me (blue one) I've been in nottingham since wednesday afternoon
