Nice. 3D printed or did you buy the base caps off the shelf? Genuine Evo Corse caps aren't cheap and aren't particularly attractive imo, so looking for other options that fit the X3MA.

May I ask where did you source these, please?

I haven't advertised my LY yet. Needs a deep clean and some photos taken first.

That's less than an hour after I picked it up.

Absolutely. Would love to join one of your drives as well. (I feel a bit like I've just married Frayz' ex, but they're still on really good terms and all his mates still want to see her as well.)

Thanks to Frayz, a complete gentleman and proper enthusiast, for giving me the opportunity to acquire WZD. While it won't be my daily, it will be enjoyed and cherished thoroughly in the same manner it was in Frayz' ownership. Now, anyone want to buy an LY?

Some surface rust on top of the OS rear turret (where some water found its way in one time, hasn't got worse in years), and a couple of bubbles on the OS rear arch where a previous owner had rolled the arch (again, hasn't worsened so wasn't a priority for me). I'll be pulling the side skirts...

I've got a highly modified Liquid Yellow full fat 182 that will be coming to market soon. As it stands it has a very good spec and needs nothing mechanically, but could benefit from some cosmetics (bumper and bonnet chips and scuffs, and some surface rust.) It's not a collectors item and I'm...

Yes 6/6 will be a nice setup for road.

That should be nice and compliant. OE is roughly 3.25 kgs F / 5.75 kgs R for comparison. I'd be tempted to go stiffer at the front - 6 kgs - as this will aid steering response and turn-in without adversely affecting compliance.

Same here. My 182 was insured with ERS via Classicline with agreed value for £12k (until last year when I moved to a postcode they refused to cover).

I'd say suggestions can be helpful to give others ideas for who to try, but sharing prices is meaningless unless your circumstances are directly comparable: age, record, and most importantly postcode. Try getting a quote for a modded car in East London... I've always used specialist brokers and...

LV Highway via Keith Michaels. Interestingly, other brokers were refused cover by LV Highway, so it seems Keith Michaels have some secret sauce.

Ok disaster averted - managed to find a deal for £650, more than I paid last year but a lot better than £980.

Anyone else with a modded Clio in Central London having trouble getting renewals? My previous insurer refused to renew based on my E14 postcode. Best price ringing around is £980. I'm in my 50s with full no claims, one SP50 from 2020.

What are you trying to achieve?

Far too stiff.

I tried a 450 lbs rear spring on a full coilover which was utterly undrivable on the road. I went back to OEM fitment rear springs and separate dampers paired with front coilovers. I didn't see any advantage to a rear full coilover and was concerned that the rear turrets weren't up to the...

Is 285 lbs the actual spring rate, or the rate at the hub? I suspect the latter.

Just paid £306 fitted from Costco for four 195/50/15 during one of their regular promos.

I had an R26.R. The Megane mk2 offers the small, wieldy dimensions of a Clio and moves around on the road like a Clio with obviously a lot more torque. The Megane mk3 despite being objectively more competent and significantly more planted feels a lot bigger and heavier and for me, less fun.

Welcome. Northern Spain and northern Portugal is my favourite part of the world to drive in.

If using a 15" rim fit a 195/55/15 tyre. The difference in rolling radius between 205/45/16 and 195/55/15 is 0.4%. You're not going to cause any damage with that.

Thanks - they do have a sump but can’t fit me in today

Just realised it’s a subframe drop to fit sump and not a simple job, so I’ll get recovered home

Not small sadly

I’ve just started a driving trip and have managed to get a hole in my sump. Before I get recovered home down south and forgo my trip - anyone know someone who might have a 182 sump and could fit today? Currently by the side of road near Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales

If it’s a true 8 kg rate at the rear, the car will be undrivable on the road but if it’s a pure track car that might not matter.

Get a cheap laser. Inkjet is both less reliable and orders of magnitude more expensive for refills.

Thread revival time... Just got quoted £190+vat for one panel with 5-6 small dents. Anyone know a mobile dent man who covers North London and is a bit more reasonably priced?
