i love my little 182 and its looking just the way i want it to but i need to start saving a bit more money towards a deposit for a house. could anyone give me some advice on what they think i should do.
basically i still have £4000 remaining on my finance, what i would like to do is sell my car...
i have seen a fair few people with this done. mine is semi polished atm but i was considering painting it.
has anyone that has painted it noticed cracking or flaking? or does it stay on there pretty well?
cheers
had been using my brakes fairly heavily and pushing the car slightly (not stupidly) and a loud rumble appeared. it sounded like either a wheel bearing or breaks rubbing. it stopped after obout 5 seconds, then it did it again a minute later after using the breaks then getting up to speed.
i don't...
had these fitted last week and there seems to be a knocking noise when i drive over small bumps :( any parts i need to check? the mounts don't sit right in the middle of the strut, could this be the cause? (the threads on the male part of the top mounts moving against the strut)
any help...
anyone done this? saw it on a few cars at fcs and it looked great. will it be much louder/warmer inside the car if i remove it? if i remove it will the area where it was be painted?
can anyone think of any other reasons why i shouldn't remove it. didn't want to go and remove it if its there for...
fitted my prolines last week and noticed the oem top mounts were knackered. so i madde a few phone calls and managed to pick up a set of k-tek's brannd new solid top mounts (only the k-tek track car and my car have them fitted) :cool:

- prolines
- original lower grille

:mad: bloody thing cracked my splitter in half and cracked a few bits of plastic underneath!

anyway... i was after some advice about the cracked plastic trays. they were hanging down from being cracked. i have managed to secure it back up pretty well but i had to cut a...
finished work early yesterday and the car was looking dirty so i decided to give claying a go. i used meguiars quick clay kit. my mate phil came over to polish his 197 and we went for a drive and took a few pics. im pretty happy with the results for my first time using clay :)...
im running apex springs atm and im sick of a really harsh ride, its so bumpy and it doesn't feel good for the car.
im looking at getting a set of prolines or sportlines. any advice on which i should get? are the sportlines a harsh ride? i have heard prolines for go, sportlines for show.
i would...
noticed this over the last few days. when i put it in reverse it crunches, no matter what idle speed or how fast/slow i put it into reverse.
i have found a solution, put it in 1st or 2nd or 3rd... etc, then select reverse. this stops the crunching. any ideas whats up? it cant be doing my clutch...

found these on ebay, brand new. seem very cheap to me! might go for them. i would rather have black, not sure if i could live with red seats, but at that price...
maybe
what do people think?
in the pics they appear to have marks on them...
has anyone had this fitted? im really considering this package along with a new exhaust (probably a yozza). just wondering what results people have had with the cam package. i mean its quite a lot of money for a pretty small gain. sounds like low and mid torque is improved a fair bit.
just need...
ok, had my tints on my car for ages now, just getting bored of them they are too dark, and i would like to remove them. has anybody done this before??
how difficult is this and will it leave all glue and s**t on my windows??
will the glass look 100% standard with no marks etc.
all help much...
been wanting to get some pics of my car and my brothers car together for a while now. so this morning we both gave the cars a bit of a clean an drove to a quiet little spot not too far from my house.
the roads were still a bit wet due to typical english weather so we took it nice and steady...

went to renault today to get a quote (not that i will get it done there) they said something like £215
then they said at 36000 they need the aux (accessories) belt changing and that would be another £200ish so im looking at over £400 at least.
any...
