    Driveshafts

    Are the J&R ones from eBay rated on the 1*2's? Used them on my old VTS and had no issues, but I've heard people mock them previously. If yes, never mind, if not, where do people get theirs from? I can't imagine everyone pays top dollar for the oem replacement part?

    Tripods

    I've been meaning to purchase one for a while now, for obvious reasons. I've just come across this one on Amazon 'http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0000WXD0W/?tag=cliospnet01-21'. I'm wondering whether it would be worth a punt as it's so cheap, or anyone has some recommendations? They seem to vary...

    Stationary car for 5 weeks, brakes seized

    My VTS has just been left at the top for just over 5 weeks now, due to it being a track car in the making it doesn't get used. What's the best way to 'un seize' the brakes? As it'll be moved to the bottom of my drive now which is more flat, ironically to change to a bigger brake set up. I've...

    Front end Tidy/KKD Tyresol experiment

    Fitting some lights to my VTS this weekend, and noticed the engine bay/front end was in a dirt state, so that soon changed! Started by degreasing most of it, and wiping away with a cloth, nothing else needed as it wasn't really baked on. Then set about restoring the bumpers colour back, came...

    What's this cable/connection?

    While removing my old Gearstick surround I came across this, just unplugged and dangling about. Any ideas what it could be for?

    Opinions on this kit.

    I've been recommended this bit of kit by quite a few people on the Facebook page 'Detailing addicts' (some brilliant guys on there), just wondering if there's anyone on hear that has some views? @gally I've seen your work, it's fantastic. What would you say to this as a beginners bit of kit...

    Mk1 Posi VTS

    So I decided to stray away from boosting the 182, a lot of thought went into it and various comments/advice from other members, I looked at it from other points of view. My main thought was that it's my daily (other than a works van) so if it turned into a problem/money pit, I'm stuck. After...

    Wedding cake

    So basically my mum has her own cake business, where she makes cakes!! (I'm easily amused) Anyway, she made this Wedding cake this week for a couple who got Married earlier on today in Monmouth. The effort I've seen her put into these cakes is just surreal, countless hours go into these, and...

    300bhp LY F1 197

    So a friend of mine recently had his 197 sent off to Tech-1 for a little bit of a change, shall we say. He got it back last weekend and really wanted some nice pictures of it, so we headed out today (after Llandow) for a little photo shoot if you will. His car is running a Megane 225 engine...

    OE; Exhaust clamps (cat+centre section)

    I replaced the two last weekend, but I'm sure iirc correctly the decat join was different to the OE part I had previously installed. Could someone possibly give me a link/part number for the direct replacement for both clamps/joins? Cheers.

    Oil+filter service

    So I'm servicing the car tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone has used this particular tool for the removal of the oil filter before. It's only £4.49 from Halfrauds, so I'm not too worried if it's not brilliant, but is it suffice to use? Also am I correct in thinking a general 8mm square...

    Recommended snowfoam, polish/wax for BG

    Roight, up until now I've just simply washed the car with Meguiars Gold class, then Polished it up with Autoglym super resin polish. I'm aware there are much better products out there to enhance the Black Gold spec, what do you BG/previous BG owners use? I've heard poor boys black hole get...

    New camera!

    So after realising there's an actual Photography thread, I shall post in here! I've just purchased myself a Canon 750D, with 18-55mm lens attachment. I've been chatting with a local lad who takes outstanding pictures of cars (imo), I'll post a few below. He talked me into what type...

    OZ F1's on a FF 182

    I'm not clued up at all with wheels, I just know they bolt on and magic happens. I'm after a set of OZ F1's in 15", are they a direct fit to the FF 182's, or are there mods I need to do? As I'm sure the FF has difference spacing/camber to standard 182's iirc. I've heard of spigot...

    Another boost thread

    First off, I'm not going to do the same as most and ask how much, what power and all that rubbish, I'm merely after some advice and or feedback from certain members. Basically I've come into a little lump of money, £1500 to be exact and you can tell where this is going. Firstly I thought, great...

    Problem when braking/driving slow

    Problem time. Occasionally when braking the pedal feels like it judders, like it's skipping? My abs, traction and service light randomly popped up Thursday, and after a 5 minute stop and driving after, they all turned off. Then just now, the traction light randomly kicked in when doing 10mph...

    Joe's FF BG 182

    First of all, I'm not new to this Forum, but I've never really posted before other than to fool about trolling @JaredHasNoBrain , or no breath. But can gladly say that's about to change! I took a long drive yesterday to Liverpool from Bridgend, South Wales to go and look at a FF BG 182. Safe...

    Fiesta MK3 Pick up Truck

    Well, on my way home from Rhondda today I drove past this mysterious creature! Safe to say, haven't seen anything like it before. Pics don't do it justice also, it was immaculate in person.
