Some cars you get trouble with others are gems, its luck of the draw. A mate of mine had a mk4 fiesta 1.3 that went on forever, only needed service items such as brakes and shocks. It used to batter up and down the motor way week in, week out and never missed a beat - even when its owner told me...

​I dont mind that kind of money so much, was that on ebay or here?

the work does look good but its not really viable for me due to him needing the wheel and then i'd have to get a spare one so I can drive the car. All the wheels breakers seem to have are over the 100 quid mark which is retrim money anyway. Just fancied having a go myself as I've seen pics of...

its torn and ripped, and pieces have actually come away so theres a hole in the right hand grip about an inch long. Not really repairable without using a putty or something?

Apart from buying the K-tec version (or whoever makes the carbon ones) or a new wheel where can I get these for reasonable money? A retrim would be a good but as I use the car a lot its not really viable for me to send the wheel off to be done unless I get another wheel and boss which will be...

Inferno will probably be me I'd imagine if its walsall way. Have to keep an eye out for you mate, I always see a BG 182 but its a 55 plate

Re: Jamie's inferno 182 Keep the white I think it suits it. better than black to be honest!

Dont think this is a usual one, saw it saturday and forgot about it. Was pulling out onto the compton road by the grammar school about 4pm, was lowered on silver 182 wheels. I was more occupied by the Smokey and the Bandit spec Trans Am that was going the other way

would have thought they might have been on here

Might have been me, wasnt wearing a vest though but went that way and I think I saw a bg 182?

Yeah green roof was the one! Ive never seen this other inferno on the black country route and I'm up and down it at least twice a day. I have seen one in bilston or thereabouts with a plate "D4 xxx"

I used mintex ceratec on pads, it seems to be good stuff

Yeah seen it around that area a couple of times since, looks like its had a hard life judging by the wheels on it

That was me, I saw you stuck in traffic going the other way I think?

A few minutes ago in bradmore, wasn't in my 182 though but rather a vectra with leopard print seats haha

On a personal plate by the fiery holes pub

​They arent at all

As far as I'm aware they are but I cant remember without having a look, they were OEM renault boxed pads though Sounds like this guy had the same problem: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?662541-CL-RC5-pads-knocking

Seen one up by me the other day, the orange is a lovely colour. Got quite a bit of mid range punch too

Anyone else had this? My front pads seem to make a clacking noise in the caliper over big bumps. Only on the offside wheel mind. Drive over the same bump with the brakes on gently to take up the slack and no clacking noise. Ball joints are good too have checked those

brembo max are just brembo HC with grooves cut into them arent they? Oh and an inflated price

I remember people to call the old metro gtis "valvers", I guess it was because 16v engines were highly prized back in the day over the usual 8v offerings across manufacturers

take the pads out and check?

Why not on a track car? However sticky back wrap would have been cheaper and easier

If they are plain discs you'll be fine. Pads choice makes more difference

as in a 16 valve. Bit of a stupid term really as even 8 valve engines still have valves, and everything is 16 valve these days

That'll be on there a while, valvers are awesome but not 4 grands worth of awesome

I'm running a motul 5.1 and that seems to be a decent fluid, probably will swap to castrol response at some point

i've used a stretchy boot, just make sure it fits comfortably at full lock etc, pack with grease fit with jubilee clip. I dont think i'd try one of those sticky boots however where you fit it over the CV then glue up the open side, although people say they have no problems with them
