my car is on the standard mounts and the car is on 54,000 miles. would it be wise to replace the engine mounts while im getting an exhaust leak fixed and a new cat to mani fixing kit fitted? or am i just throwing money away.
noticed more vibration through the clutch pedal, so i thought this...
see if you can spot the new modification?
i know... i might not pass my mot. but i think i will and it only takes half an hour to get back to normal. i was sick of leaking valves and trying really hard for them not to spray on my (when it was clean), so annoying when its clean and...
found a photo that i took around two years ago of the clio, i fancied cleaning the car up a bit and going to take a few pics of it in the same location as the photo 2 years ago.
this is the old photo
and this is how it looks today.
just as tidy imo :approve: and a few...
i have a b/g 182 and im considering painting the dash strips. i was thinking of painting them black/gold but still unsure. does anyone have pics of b/g dash strips in a ph2?
cheers
right, im in a bit of a pickle. im 90% sure i want to remove the tints but 10% of me really likes the stealth look.
have thought of the good and bad points of KEEPING the tints.
the good points.
-looks stealth
-keeps the sun out
-stops people peering in (a little)
-they are leagal tints...
took my car over to jabbasport this morning to fix a leaking cv boot, and there was a group rr session going on. a few mk2 golfs and a mustang gt500. my friend luke at jabba said he would stick mine on the rollers for free after the other guys had their's on.
so... i was expecting mid 170's...
my car has failed to start a couple of times in the past, and has also gone into 'limp mode' a couple of times in the last 4 months.
the emmisions light is on and i have a code reader and have deleted the fault. the light has come back on again. deleted it again, within a few mins of driving it...
noticed a leak coming from here
is it know as the inner cv boot? its got a bit of oil/grease around it. does it need attention? anything need replacing etc?
thought i would give a battery cover a go, it has two uses... looks, and stop heat getting into the induction area.
bought an offcut of a white bath pannel home from work, half an hour later...
taaaaadaaaaaa :)
oh, and for finishing touches ;)
its a pretty sturdy setup too...
had my wheels off today and noticed the cv boot had a fair bit of grease around it. looks like its leaked out. the cv boot has not split but the ring on the large end has come away from the rubber part. what should i do?
also while i had it jacked up the rear shock looked a little suspect. it...

i had been waiting to run 12mm spacers on the rear and 6mm in the front but had been struggling to find longer bolts the correct size. in the end i found some from pri racing. m12 x 1.5, 60 degree, 30mm thread for the front and m12 x 1.5, 60 degree, 35mm thread for the rear. only problem was...
im going to be running 10mm spacers on the rear and 5mm spacers on the front. i have found some bolts on ebay but there is a fair bit of choice. i was wondering if...
- the thread is right?
- what lenght bolt for 10mm spacer?
- what length bolt for 5mm spacer?
- what is fixed 60 degrees and...
i finished work today with enough time and light to give the car a bit of a clean. it has been neglected a bit lately and its cost me a bloody fortune. in the last 2 months my rear discs cracked and the aux belt tensioner snapped. but since then its had an mot and a decent service. also since my...
i have fecently had a full cambelt kit and aux belt kit changed on my 182, but i am noticing more vibration coming through the clutch pedal since having it done. is this normal? you can feel it more on a cold start. but i noticed the first time i drove the car after the belt changes that there...

finished work at a decent time today. made the most of it still being light outside and wired in another boot light into my car. there is just not enough light in the boot with just one!
only took 35mins :)
sorry about the poor pics.
x2 led boot lights :) i can see in the dark!
very...
looked in my engine bay yesterday and i noticed a loose bolt. its hard to explain where it is so i have circled it.
here is a closer pic
you can see that the bolt is completely hanging out of where it should thread into. im not sure what that bolt does but i don't like the fact that...

well... im in a bit of a pickle.
apex or prolines? i love the way the prolines ride but i love the way the apex look.
i dont want to damage my shocks by running apex, i can put up with it being a fairly bumpy ride. and i don't really mind avoiding speedbumps. the apex look fantastic and they...
fao people with sports only as it is not really relevant to non-rs models.
i was wondering if over a period of time, have you're apex springs damaged you're shocks? i know they are a bumpy/ sometimes harsh ride, but have they done any damage?
i have prolines atm, love the ride but it still...
if this was happening on the rear slightly how woukld i check it? jack it up and spin the wheel?
if it was biting on slightly how would it be fixed? wind the piston in? clean the slider plate and copper grease it?
sorry if they are stupid questions, just wanted to check, had to fork out £200...
as everyone knows... disconnect the air feed pipe from the airbox (the one behind the headlight) and you get a nice induction sound :) is this safe to do? cant see it being too much of a problem. will more debris get to the filter?
had a vibration noise coming from the car for the last month. i was checking it every day as the noise was always appearing when braking at motorway speeds, i couldn't find any sings of damage or over wearing etc. had a service and mot and it passed with flying colours. a few days after the mot...
could some kind person shop my wheels black please? gloss black or very dark antharcite
not sure which pis will give best results.
been toying with the idea for a while. i love the stealth look
thanks in advance :)
my car has been making a loud vibrating noise under motorway speeds braking for a few weeks. it has been getting worse and worse. last night i checked the brakes again (checking them every day)
i found a huge crack in the rear disc! will post a pic later. it goes all the way through one side of...
