This ruined Top Gear and Jeremy Clarckson for me...couldnt see the funny side of wreckin somethin so nice!!:nono:

pmsl!

Good stuff! Id love to "cup-affi" one of these with possibly an engine from a 911 or somethin. :D Wonder how much they cost these days?

Try Again, LOL...Which BMW is this?

Which BMW is this?

Tried that but people stare at me funny when i get out the car.

PMSL! Same as the mini I had...ahh the memories!:dapprove:

The mini was an X-reg Rover mini with servo assist. Forgive me, but how would this make a difference?

I roll my foot. The need to modify it is cos I can't reach it with the outside edge of my foot. Ideally, you want the pivot point of your foot which is in the centre of the ball of your foot, to still be in contact with the brake pedal, albeit on the far right hand side of the brake pedal. This...

LOL! I tried some "practice, practice, practice" when I was out in the car yesterday but kept slipping off the brake pedal which gives me the fear tbh! I think the problem is I keep practicing under light braking and it is obviously easier under heavy braking. Trouble is most of my driving is...

Not trying to take sides or anything here in this banterous thread of mine, but id like to entrust myself with Brad and his knowledge for a mo and ask him a question... As you say, "the things that will damage a synchromesh gearbox is attempting to change gear faster than the box will allow"...

Will do! Cheers for some of the suggestions...might try the spacing method mentioned above temporarily. For now though, its a cup splitter @ £150 from Renault this Saturday...im such a mug but they make the car look much better!:)

Ive tried using the ball of my foot but I just end up stamping on the brake before ive reached the throttle with the outside edge of my foot...tis too far back! Maybe need some Vee pedals then cos I sure as hell cant grow my feet!

Size 9 myself! Hopefully its not one of those situation where it's just my car and nobody elses! Anyone else?

I hate not being able to heel and toe in the 182! :mad: A friend of mine can heel and toe my car but he has size 13s. Does anyone have a nice solution to my problem? Like special shoes, pedal adjustments maybe or something-else that im not aware of?

Where did you get that decal on the bonnet from and what does it say? I like the discreetness of these and lack of yellow compared to the Renault F1 Team decals!

i said "heavy" which it is because it is a 2 litre...bigger engine means bigger clutch!

minted! I had one for my first car aswell...teaches you everything you need to know about driving!

check the exhaust heat shields for the banging...corrosion can cause them to come loose! P.S. the clutch is heavy anyway cos its a 2 litre!

Looks like its about £25 for front 3/4 and standard rear with no border and standard UK lettering on each. U got a picture of yours calum for reference?

Anyone got any pics so i get the spacing correct?

£16 sure. Why wont this damn configurator load? Is it because im using Mozilla?

think il do the same. im just waiting for this configurator thing on their website to load before i find out the price.

Cheers, il giv them a try. Its slim pickins these days tryin to find a place that will do anything other than standard plates but i think it will definitely make it look neater and hopefully not too chavy/neddy!

Can you still buy 3/4 sized registration plates or was that only possible before the new laws were passed about registration plates having to be bog standard?

SeriousWheels from halfords is good with the little brush to make sure you get into all the nooks and crannies. It doesnt seem to get rid of those little bits of tar though! Does Bilberry get rid of the tar?

mine hav just started doing this too. does it mean your brakes are on their way out?

Nice looking car that...i really want a front splitter but £150 is a hooer of a price! Is that outside that tuning company at the back of the broadleys vet near the VW, Audi and BMW garages by any chance?

cheers mate! il look out for you...wots your 172 look like?
