I will keep you updated mate :up:
Better turn in, direct steering, covers my holes in the turrets!
CSOC? I lasted a few months, but being polite, that place is just not for me :wink:
This is good to hear. When i spoke to Nick, he said the difference in PDC between the PMS ones and the Ktec...
A brand new genuine front bearing is £60, I'm guessing that was fitted the price you paid?
Also, once again I presume the ABS ring change was labour included? Still seems expensive but its done now.
@good So you plug that into the can of the head unit, then just turn down the bass on the speakers, so they have more oomph and less stress?
That simple, plug and play?
That looks a nice little sleeper-ish number now.
However the gold f1s look much better on it. But gold 2118s will look the bestest out of all 3. But I'm with what @OssPoop said, that it'll need to be lower.
My first kit (on the BG) was fine throughout ownership. I bought them 2nd hand but was only 3 weeks old and had done very little mileage. The only issue was a knocking on the rear. After some investigation and a thread on here, it turned out to be knackered shocks. They would compress quickly...
Looks very clean.
Love a new sabelt, they look so good clean. Considering the wheel is a genuine on and it's been discontinued now from Renault, a good sticker is the only difference from the mild etching, which you have. Limited numbers from Steve too.
Put up a wanted thread for the rubbers. There's normally someone breaking car that will have some and they normally go very cheap.
Your springs are standard for vmaxx. My old BG and Ph1 both did the same. (2 separate kits, not the same kit on both cars)
I did yes. When I bought the car, it came with Ktec solid top mounts which I sold as it was easy to make money back. I then bought aftermarket Febi ones, which are ok. They do creak however, when the car is stationary and I'm turning.
Whenever I lift up the bonnet, is see the 3x drill holes...
I think I'm £700+ this week. Plus time in fitting. This is why I briefly thought about breaking it, but after a wobble of the head and a good car clean, I got the love back so I'm continuing the RB project/progress.
Ordered these today:

I spoke to Nick @ PMS today on the phone and he was very helpful. I got the version to suit my B14s which have extra spacers.
I have no idea bud. Oddly the ones I linked say there for a ph1, the ones I bought say there for all models of 172/182 yet the part numbers are the same.
Thank you very much Graham :smiley:
Thanks Ethan :smile:
Rear is very rare. That was part of the reason of getting second hand rears...
Mine sits lower on one side and also knocks on rebound. I get a boaty feeling and I've has it before where it was rear shock related.
I just hope it is otherwise, it was a £300 risk that may have not paid off!
I paid £126 from Renault Wolverhampton by buying them separate as i didnt see the pair in one sale, however ive jsut seen this so a couple of quid cheaper from the same guys :)...
I did get new genuine ones earlier in the year @MarcB
I have ordered a new set of rear Bilstein shocks for my B14 kit from Kevin @ Kam Racing. It was new for £137 each inc vat or repair was £96 each in vat, but i would need to send them off. As i use my car daily i opted for new ones (plus...
Car has taken a big turn from when i last looked om here.
Great stuff. Loving the roof and the decals. Bit of free advertisement too ;) Also the rear spoiler and light looks great :up:
And of course, boost!
Parts arrived today.

Budweg refurbished calipers:
New stainless steel nipples:
New genuine lower arms:
Im going to order another set of stainless steel nipples for the rear calipers that are coming. Also, i've decided to keep the colour of the calipers blue, so i...
