This is quite funny. Take the wheel off and get Stanley to sort it out?

Very nice. I love it more than I usually would because I have an X99 plate ;)

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2090&appid=3 Most people stick to standard rear brake set ups. You'll be better of spending more money on upgrading the front set up. However I'd have thought the standard Brembos would be pretty good?

It is a turbo.

I've pussied out of getting a remap. Too many varying opinions of whether or not the engine can handle more power. It seems that a mid range increase is fine, but top end is a nono. My advice would be to enjoy the car for what it is, save your dollar and put it towards a 197/200 for when it's...

It's a gamble.

Looks beautiful!

9/10. Haven't spent a penny on repairs. It has been in for warranty repairs to fix a loose lock barrell, replacement of headlights due to internal cracking and 2 wheels replaced due to paint peeling off. The drivers seat has just started to develop an annoying squeak, but on the grand scheme...

Why don't you get a mechanic to inspect the damage? Sell your Turinis, then use that cash to pay for the new parts. How is the resolution to buy another car, which could cost you just as much?

Unlucky Lou.

Mark Fish - Harlow.

But he doesn't know the history of the tyre? He'd get nowhere. They could've been run with 5 psi for 6 months...

Why don't you sell those turinis, buy some cheap s**tty steelies. That will pay for a gearbox refurb. Then borrow another £100 (surely you have £100 laying about??). Then get your mate to help you fit all of it. Job done!

Complain to who? The OP didn't purchase the tyres new, he doesn't know the history of the car. He also bought the car sold as seen?

Do you check the tyre pressures reguarly? The sidewalls often crack when they have a low pressure. You can't blame the tyres on the car, you can't complain it was due for a cambelt. Exhausts need replacing on plenty of cars after a certain mileage. The only "freak" repair, may be your...

OP, you paid £3600 for the car and have now spent £1500 on it. Plenty of 182s are selling for £5k so you've not really done too bad. Obviously spending money on unexpected repairs is a pain, but that is what happens when you buy a 5 year old car with 70k+. Welcome to running a car! PS...my car...

Wet sand then machine polish. It isn't rocket science, nor is it hard to do ;)

Plate was LR08 ??? white 197 with white speedlines, was looking good!

I paid £140 for my side, front & rear strips to be colour coded. They're on a MK3 and there is much less surface area. Expect to pay upto £200.

I thought you wouldn't insure driver's with a 197/200 under the age of 30? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Spend a bit more on the products next year, when the weather is better. The paintwork won't get ruined between now and then! It is just a car, not an ornament! I'm sure JP will put enough protection on. I would reccommend investing in Duragloss 901 shampoo, I found it much better than Megs...

Perhaps a DCi 100 with a remap would be a good upgrade, in power.

16" 172 alloys, RS grille, eibach springs. Done!

What profile do you need? How much are you looking to spend, per tyre? Where in London are you based?

Why is the Clio badge still there :)

I'm a fan of Duragloss 901 shampoo too. I use this sealant: http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/britemax_extreme_elements_1.html I've found it last ages and gives a good shine too.

Did you end up getting anywhere with Silverstone, covering any costs? Did the damage cost much? Still prefer it on the green Canastas :)

Ask the garage to check the car over?

Great video, bet you have fun tearing up the track! What is your chassis spec?
