Is that a standard engine as well?

Got to be the best colour of any car, love the name too.

Haha me to mate, nearly in my 40s now and I'm a dithering nervous wreck on the road driving the 182 in fear of....well everything, in my teens and early 20s I'd drive without thinking of any consequences. Bikes scare me though, I used to ride crossers all the time in the 90s but had a sick...

Wouldn't bother with spacers unless needed due to looks, an alignment should always be undertaken after messing with the suspension. Camber bolts aren't really needed for a road car unless lowering it as made the camber uneven. Find your local garage with Hunter Hawkeye equipment and get them to...

Loving that mate.

That's got to be the most sensible comment from a Welsh biker ever, most of you guys are absolute nuts!

And a tub of slide and ride?

Yeah give it a good run mate, funny as the tyres hadn't lost any pressure whatsoever which I found odd.

Don't suppose you live near Winwick do you as I see a blue Vee sometimes on my way to work?

Some real nice toys so far, bring on the summer! Loved driving mine into work this morning, left super early and got to work with a big smile on my face, counting the minutes till home time now.:cool:

Yep, dead as. Wouldn't even start with jump leads at first either...

"Saddle like razor blades"

When's the last time you drove it?

They're awesome mate, forgot just how much fun they are.

I'll be off to my unwrap the Clio after work after it being sat most of the winter (used once since November), gonna drive it into work tomorrow and then out for a blast Saturday. Anyone else planning on dusting the cobwebs of their play thing this weekend, as the weather is good for most...

I'd be very tempted by that if I was in the market, buying a turbo conversion already done is defo the way to go...

I was responding to the OP with my reply, but If the thermostat is goosed it will give false reading of Coolant temperature so the car won't move over from the cold map.

Coolant thermostat

Just go out and get the ABS to fire 4-5 times and re-bleed, may have to do this a couple of times. I've ran my pump totally dry twice now and this worked both timed.

Gary charges £550 all in, so both belts, dephaser, auxiliaries, coolant etc. £450 if you supply the PMS air-con delete kit as its an easier job.

Mines mainly a track car, driven on the road only to test new mods and drive to and from track to which I use OE pads. OE pads can be used on track as long as the braking zones aren't to heavy or close together but you've not got the coefficient to brake hard and late so need nannying...

I have a camera to reduce the risk of being mugged off in the case of a disputed accident as I've already said, and me having one has already been fully justified. Last year on my way home from work some daft cow decided to pull out on me and we collided. She claimed I had my indicator on so...

There's no problem I'm just not happy with the performance of the pads is all, every pad apart from the RC8's aren't up to how I want them to perform and the 8's over perform for my set-up, they'd be fine with a decent coilover kit and properly set-up but on budget springs (AMAX) they're a...

Pad list I've used so far and I've still not found one that suits my driving style, skill level (average) and car setup: Brembo OE Ferodo OE Mintex OE Ferodo DS2500 Ferodo DS3000 Carbone Lorraine RC5+ Carbone Lorraine RC8 I'll be trying RC6 or RC6E next...

Not one bit. It's about covering your own back in the case of a dispute.

Guy sounds like a pure weapon!

RC8 or GTFO! No seriously the DS2500 aren't great for what they cost, cold bite is lacking and can fade when really pushed on track, but it all depends how you drive and what tracks you plan on attending?

Bloody hell that's terrible, what discs are you running?

What tyres will you be using? Cause if they're not the best there's no point adding more braking power if the tyres can't handle it. You'd be better just going Brembo HC discs and branded OE pads with cooling to the brakes if mediocre tyres. I run Brembo HC discs and OE pads on the road and...

Front toe settings should be around - 0.12 total for a stable feeling car.
