    What have I done wrong - With pics.

    Soooo... Putting my 182 back to standard to sell. Changing coilovers for standard shocks and springs :) Rears went off and on fine. No trouble there. However, front coilovers have come off fine, but I'm just bolting the front strut assembly back up, and for some reason the bolts holes for the...

    A few snaps from London

    Hi All, Despite living a mere 20 mins away I rarely venture into central, but yesterday I headed in with my (very tolerant of my photo habits) girlfriend for some food, and managed to snap a few on the way. Armed mainly with the kit lens and a gorilla pod my 50mm barely came out of the bag...

    Any Windows geeks online tonight?

    Probably a stupid question but I'm not the most computer savvy... On Vista - RE: Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) Trying to expand my C: Drive so I have freed up 16gb of space from my E: Drive which is now showing as unallocated. However when I try to extend/expand the C: Drive the option is...

    Does anyone know the standard exhaust size?

    Can someone confirm the internal/external diameter of a standard 182 system please? In particular, the diameter just before the centre box and again just after (if there is any difference at all)? Had a search and 2.25" gets thrown around a lot... I have an old centre pipe that I am going to...

    Bargain Trendlines? Maybe...

    What lens? Photo geeks wanted please :)

    I need to extend my range and have come up with 3 strong contenders at various prices. Currently shooting with a 450D but have nothing over 50mm which I find quite limiting. 1. Canon 70-200 F4.0 L (the non IS one) 2. Sigma 70-200 F2.8 APO EX DG - My head says go with this one, not sure I'll...

    Who does the most mileage in their Clio?

    Out of curiosity... Hope this hasn't been done before (mods feel free to lock and redirect if so), I know there are countless MPG threads etc... In my opinion the 182 is a pretty nice place to be for motorway journeys, decent pick up despite being a bit gutless top end and I don't get out...

    Why oh why.... (insurance)

    Yes, I know it's all on statistics.... But seriously, how many S2000's get trashed resulting in this: Spent an hour tonight playing with a couple of quote and came to the conclusion that I'll have to ring a few specialists if I don't want to completely write off the VTEC next year :( 1200 is...

    Racelands Coilover Pics - Haterz Gon' Hate!

    I still need to adjust the height and get it aligned (raise the back and see if it scrubs with my 15's on at the front) but overall fairly happy with how it stands. Took me about 4 hours to fit on my own and spent about 5 and a half hours on the stands due to lost tools and a panicky thread on...

    URGENT HELP PLEASE! Problem mid coilover fitting...

    Basically all I have left to do is bolt up the front struts, but currently my top mounts are sat like this: and I know they should sit like this.... Where have I gone wrong? Hub is not completely bolted up yet, wheels are still off the car and so it is not on the floor. The only weight it...

    Recaro subframe query

    Hi all, Quick question. After reading the stickied thread on recaro seats I understand I would need the recaro subframes to fit trendlines or similar into the clio. Are the mounting patterns the same on the bottom of all recaro seats? i.e. If I wanted to fit a set from an evo, would the...
