    All clean

    Or it's a normal 172 with a cup spoiler and wheels? Looks good though either way.

    Another new on looking for a 182!

    BirchdownAuto Services are in Malpas. They don't come on the forum any more but are top blokes with a cracking little garage. You won't find anyone with a bad review of them! Diamond Motors are in Nottingham and @MicKPM the owner is a VERY knowledgeable bloke. He's also a registered trader on...

    Another new on looking for a 182!

    Only buy a 172/182 with comprehensive service history. Unless you're buying it so cheap that you can break it for spares should it go bang. Cambelt kit is a big expensive job and is due every 5 yrs/72k. And there are only a handful of people I'd trust to do it. Off the top of my head I can...

    just bought a cup

    Edit; just looked at the pics and at a recent track day you and another guy were the talk of the day! They saw your car at a sprint up at Castle Combe. (Unless there's another guy with a classic scoob that's mentally fast with a massive rear wing on it??)

    My Seat Leon Cupra R

    I love it. I think you'd like to swap it for a classic Impreza...

    02' Saab 9-3 Coupe Turbo

    I love love love these!! Such a good looking car in an ugly way. Very easy to get power from as well.

    My Racing Blue Clio 182 Turbo

    So why quote 10 weeks if it isn't possible? And if it isn't possible, why take on more work? You simply cannot defend this level (or lack of) customer service.

    What's this plug for?

    Looks like the radiator fan switch/plug/thing.

    My Racing Blue Clio 182 Turbo

    Same old story with Clio 'specialists' unfortunately. Look back over the years and there have been loads of talented mechanics. Sadly they're f**king useless at running a business and end up letting people down time and time again. Then they disappear. 10+ weeks to do a conversion is taking...

    New ipod touch won't sync properly

    Generic 'nor do you' post. But I agree. I got an iPhone because I was told they're simple to use. But they're not. iCloud, iTunes, wifi on or off, updates.... It's all nonsense. I want to buy a phone and I want it to work for 2 years. At which point I'll upgrade. Simple. But Apple don't...

    I love that! Fancy a swap for an Impreza??

    Fitting window switches to door cards - ideas

    My mate has his switches on the side of the gearstick surround. One on the left for the passenger and one on the right for the driver. With low bucket seats they're easier to operate than if they were on the door. Nice and out of the way too.

    Epic cleaning session.....

    Maybe your wife could have a word with my wife?? The chances of her letting me spend 36 hours cleaning my car on my days off are zero! Looks great though mate. Well done!

    Why has no one ever..

    Pick any car and the principle is the same though? On this note... My best mate is restoring a 1 owner from new (his gran) 27,000 mile mk1 fiesta supersport. When it's complete it will be the only one in the world like it and judging by prices of 7 owner 100+ thousand milers, it will be worth...

    Why has no one ever..

    A 182 engine in its barest form costs £1800. Plus ancillaries. A bare shell is £1800. Plus doors, glass etc. The Recaro Seats are £1000 each. How much is an OE exhaust and Cat? £2000? You'll need a complete Loom, dashboard, carpets, wheels, tyres, brakes.... It's so far from...

    It's not an issue. I'm just pointing out its s**t.

    BMW e30 vs e36 vs e46 vs e92 vs e80 M3 review

    Dreadful image, rusty, very expensive when it breaks. Take your tinted spectacles off optician boy! Out of those, a 3.2 E36 M3 Coupe for me though. I've never liked the 46 M3. If I was in to new cars I'd have new m3 over the rest of the current M range but even then I'd still rather a C63.

    Bast#rd scratch/key on my rear quarter glass...

    If you can feel it with your fingernail, none. A professional glass polisher may be able to make it look better, but if it's deep enough to feel, it can't be polished out completely. (We polish glass at work)

    Clio DCI 65 or 80?

    If you don't want to spend the money, Get the head skimmed, new head gasket set, fluid service, then punt it on. Doing belts etc is pointless (from a cost point of view) unless you're keeping it for years to come.
