If you have a 172 and bend the rear beam im an accident, struggle to find a 172 beam, just buy a 1.2 beam (for about 50% cheaper) and transfer all the brakes, stub axles across etc. Im aware the RS has a tickers ARB but there is absolutly no noticible difference in handling at all. Nathan :)

smaller nozzle for smaller work, larger one for large areas. I started off with a 1.8 but it doesnt make too much difference.

Yeah though it was about time I gave it a clean...

Whats the PCD of the mounting holes on those Brembos? they look pretty good!

nah i just had a duel filter mask... or held my breath if it was a small job. My compressor is a 3 year old Airmaster 12cfm, 50ltr, 2hp My gun is a DeVilbiss GTIW. takes alot of practice to get a smooth finish from the gun, but most of my work I flat and polish afterwards.

spend your money on a decent gravity fed gun, a compressor needs to have a good cfm rating, with a water trap, all my kit I have cost £500 and ive sprayed 7 cars and loads of little jobs with it too. I have a 1.5 and a 2.0 nossle. machine mart is pretty good for compressors, mines a £300 jobbie.

Trust me it is! and its only in the last 5k that its started to show its age. But I am still on my first clutch so thats a tesitment to how I treat it :)

Last time it was cleaned was when I had it professionaly detailed, nearly 3 months ago. Standard ph1 172 with 96k on the clock, just changed the sparks, oil and a N/S driveshaft too. Was going to sell it to get a Vee but being an estate agent, im broke. but I now own it outright so slowly...

Blimey! glad your ok. at least its only a naples *cough*

its just a couple of rose joints, a piece of threaded bar and some nuts. :)

yeah it was a coops dog bone mount :)

Taken from Jim White at Detailing World. Today’s task was to tidy up the 350Z, and turnaround the Clio 172. I knew I had my work cut out, and probably being a bit optimistic but hell, who doesn’t like a challenge. Arriving an hour early I got on the case straight away.. The forecast said...

yeah im taking it off at the weekend, just thought id give it a try.

Fitted one at the weekend, just for a laugh while I was helping a mate put his engine back in his car, my conclusion: Wow, gear changes are so much more precise and smooth.... but my god it rattles and vibrates the car to bits! for some strange reason tho it has solved a vibration I get on...

yeah thats axle tramp and theres not much you can do about it, its just how its set up etc.

Airbag and module was £30 off ebay.

make sure you undo all the clip then just slip it off, easy.

I removed the cover. had to put a new airbag and module in too just to get rid of the airbag & serv light.

The banging will be 'axle tramp' when your wheel spinning. Any Vibration on hard acceleration (without wheel spinning)(this mostly happens in 1st) will be due to worn mounts causing the exhaust manifold to come into contact with the subrame making a loud 'vibrating' 'rubbing' noise. you...

£20.... its ok, but it not 100% right

thought so, anyone got a set for sale!?

Hi I recently had my passanger seat stiched up after an airbag went off... but its not the best and you can tell its been stiched, can you buy new covers from Renault? nathan

Hi all I had a passanger seat air bag deploy (but thats another story) a while ago, seat is all fixed and I have a new airbag in there too but I still have the serv and airbag light on, do I need to replace the module or fix it etc. My OBD reader cant find a fault. tensioner is fine, it was...

mine did that too lol

PE2's on the back, cant afford a full set of R888's just yet. I see your point tho.

1.6 megane engine

Drive smooth.... wheres the fun in that ;) well ive just purchased some medium compound 195/50/15 R888's for the front, will let you know how I get on using them as a road tyre... or they'll be an RIP thread in general chat next week. Nathan

205 or 195? much difference? pros cons?

yep I do get through tyres quite badly. I dont think R888's are really suited to my driving style but I just want to see what there like. cheers for the info :)

yes, that would be my driving style, plus the roads I drive everyday. I run 32 psi front and 30 back in my PE2's i have on at the moment and the same when I had the Parada's so from cold I should set them to 32 front and 30 back? Ive read about setting them lower than that. nathan
