So I have almost all the parts for my Brembo conversion;
Clio 200 brembos
280mm discs
Hoses
Pads
Brackets
Now my understanding is that 5mm needs machining off the calliper mounting point(where it attaches to the bracket). Is this correct?
I spoke with a motor engineer today about getting the...
So the cup I've bought has a standard exhaust (can you believe it).
It's in good condition but I'm contemplating buying another unit. I like the noise of the standard one, it's nice and subtle, no drone at all and that's how I like it.
Anything out there similar that will last longer than...
I'm not sure why it's doing it to be honest. I've replaced the rear hanger and it's still there. Car is a 172 cup and it's a standard exhaust.
The exhaust seems to sit at a funny angle but not sure where to start

Seems far too cheap for them plus the seller has no feedback..
Also these too!

As above. I'll fire in some beer money and I'll collect them and return them. Close to Glasgow as possible. Car won't be getting used, just for sitting it in the garage whilst the wheels get a refurb. Hate leaving the car on axle stands for more than a day

The guy seems like a bit of a part time salesman. Anyone been to see it? Seems well priced to me from the description and photos. Found the guy via Facebook using his number. Not sure what I think!
Can these be had cheaper anywhere else? I'm aware the water pump is on back order at some places
£300 all in for the dephaser, timing and auxiliary belts along with a water pump and everything else needed...
how much we talking to change over an engine ie 172 engine to 172 engine. Obviously it's a fairly straight forward swap but how much should I expect to pay or how many hours labour is reasonable?
As above I want to paint it and I've removed it.
It's been painted previously very poorly. Where should I start removing the paint? Just paint stripper?
Also fancy doing the head(underneath the inlet) however I wouldn't be removing this. May just leave it as it is.
Cheers!
As above. I need the belts done:
Timing belt
Dephaser
Auxiliary
And all that goes with it. SWR have quoted £620 for the work. Anywhere as good or does anyone have any other suggestions?
SWR won't knock a penny off so that's the price
Hello folks
Looking to get some 195 45 16 tyres for the 172, only need 2 for now. Cheapest seems to be Camskill however they charge for delivery. I believe including delivery they are about £96 for Toyo t1rs in this size. Anyone got any discount codes for anywhere to get them cheaper elsewhere...
I recently bought this little car for peanuts. No pictures yet but they will follow when I get some half decent ones. My plan is just to use the car, I love the colour and its already coming up nicely. I believe the car has been through the forum so someone may see the reg and post in the...
As stated just bought a nice 172 Monaco for cheap. I reckon it needs the belts doing..the dephaser is rattling. Receipt from 2012 for the belts. Just thinking I may just get rid of it, was blinded by the cheap price. Is there any point spending £600 on getting the belts done when that's what the...
So I run a k11 micra and the quarter panel has been painted previously and I want to re paint it. The arch has a small amount of rust coming through. I reckon I can do it with a can of paint. Issue is the arch obviously needs some work aswell.
What's the best way to do it?
I'll be removing the...
So the 5 series needs some paint as follows:
rear bumper
bootlid
2 deep scratches
car was pretty cheap to begin with so ideally I want a cheap job/homer. Anyone handy with paint in or around Glasgow?
So, I've been thinking about this for a while now. I can obtain a premise free of charge in Glasgow city centre. I'm no expert detailer but know a couple of bits and bobs.
My proposal would be to open a shop purely containing high end detailing products for enthusiasts like us. Good quality...
Tried out my new camera tripod along with the DSLR. Happy with the results, I'm no expert and don't know how to go about editing them!
Anyway, enjoy

Struggling to get the above. I'm having all the belts done in the next week or so. Is it essential the water pump is replaced? I have all the other parts
One of them went out tonight so replaced it. Fiddly job but all went together easily. Issue is it won't clip back into the holder inside the light. One of the clips goes on but the other doesn't during the small turn to clip it in.
Any ideas how to rectify this? The clips don't look misshaped...
Currently got a ktec system on the trophy. Its a really nice looking system but its just too loud for my liking. I do a fair bit of motorway cruising and its getting on my tits!
I realise there is a lot out there..question is what do I go for? I'm looking for something not too boomy but when im...
