First Detail [First ever use of DA] Honda CTR [Pic Heavy]
I used my DAS6 for the first time over the weekend, on my cousins Civic Type R. Got a new camera and took lots of photos and thought I'd make a little write up.
Was hard work, but enjoyed it, and thoroughly rewarding at the end!
Had a...
I bought a second hand RS Tuner a while back, and got an unlock code and used it no problem.
However I tried plugging it in again just now to turn my EML off, and am having a problem.
As I'm having to use a different Laptop. I downloaded the RS Tuner programme and all installed fine.
However...
Basically, I have a decatted Yozza. I've been running with the Lambda sensor in the decat for about half a year now, and my EML has been on for the past month or two.
Now this week I put my cat back in for the MOT, and screwed the existing Lambda into the cat. Obviously it was black, having...
Is it fairly simple?
As in just undo the bolt attaching it to the hub, knock it down and out, then mark its position roughly and just unwind it using the Hex bolt bit on the end of the TRE until it comes off?
Then getting geo setup afterwards. Or is there anything I've missed?
I noticed today when I took my wheels off that I seem to have some play on the passenger side, when I rock the disc.
I tried doing the same thing on the driver side and there was hardly any movement at all.
I'm not clued up on what does what in terms of steering/suspension, would anyone be able...
As in the title, my Turinis are on Ebay.
16" Anthracite Speedline Turinis with tyres (budgets)
Some Kerbing - see my add for details! Message me if interested!

Did put this in my progress thread, but thought it deserved a thread of its own!
Well I've had sportlines for my 182 lying around for a while, and yesterday I picked up some silver turinis (Renault) to replace my anthracite Speedline ones.
I thought whilst I was doing that I might as well fit...
My rear wheels seem to be getting covered in brake dust very quickly, which I find rather odd as I thought they don't really do much on a FWD.
I've jacked the rear up, and tried spinning the wheels by hand with the handbreak off. They're is some resistance, how much is normal? They don't spin...
I might be having a dumb moment, but..
I know everyone says to shop around when it comes to renewal, but I've got two weeks till renewal, and I was just wondering, how do people get the quotes in advance.
For example, say you took out insurance on 30th March last year, and so its up for...
As in the title. Tempted by the Asda deal @ £207.00 unlocked.
http://direct.asda.com/HTC-Evo-3D-Android-Mobile-Phone/008718410,default,pd.html
Just wondering if anyone has had one / used one / opinions on them etc?
I'm not bothered about the 3D, just the fact it looks a decent spec phone, for...
I'm a pretty new member on DW, and know a few on here are members, seen this KDS detailing fools day, which I quite like the look of, having just stepped into the world of detailing myself.
Just wondered if anyone off here was going, or thinking of going?
Its in Gillingham...
HTC just announced its new One series smartphones, all running Android ICS.
HTC One X
HTC One S
HTV One V
Looks pretty exciting imo:

And no Apple/Android debate in here. So boring. They both have their merits...
As above. I changed the oil and filter on a Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v today, and all went fine.
Changed the sump nut washer, oiled the rubber bit on the filter, and filled up.
However now when the engine is idling there is a whistle noise. Not very loud, but definitely there, as if air is being sucked...
As in the title, for some reason my rear wheels seem to be getting dirtier than the fronts in the same space of time.
Pretty sure its brake dust..
Could this be highlighting a problem with my rear brakes? Seems a bit weird, as I thought they hardly did anything..
As per the title, I'm trying to fit my ph1 indicator stick with horn button, onto my Mk2 Ph2 182, as I've got a Sabelt wheel.
I've got the wheel off fine, and the audio stalk and steering surround. But I'm stuck at what to do next:
My understanding is I need to undo the 3 screws to remove that...
As in the title. Thinking of getting the newer style Renault Sport badge for my 182 (The 197 style not the newest one)
Just wondered where people get them from, and where's the cheapest?
Got an RS Tuner and remapped it with the performance map the other day.
When I initially plugged it in it threw up a couple of codes, just wondering if anyone could shed some light on them?
I know the bottom one isn't a fault but what does it mean.
Also I have Buckets and Decat, so my EML and...
Is changing the belts on Non sports as pricey/complex as it is on sports?
Do all the same precautions still apply eg dephaser, pulleys, waterpump etc?
Should most 2005 cars have had cambelt done by now? (1.2 16v I'm talking about mainly)
Just wondering if we could start a thread, if anyone has these fitted to their car. Look pretty decent from the photo
Danny @ 519 put up. Anyone else got any photo's of them on theirs?
(This isn't mine by the way. As said Danny put it up)
Trying to take a FK stainless steel spacer off the front of a non sport.
The driver side one I literally cannot get off. Its one of the bolt to hub types, undone all the bolts, but its stuck solid.
Tried a hammer, lever bar, chisel, screwdriver, grinder, but still literally cannot get it off...
Trying to refit some original springs back onto the original shocks on a 2005 Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v.
However because the springs are so long and compress so much, I'm using them wind up spring compressors, but I can't get it to compress enough to get the top hat + bearing on etc. Been trying all...
Hopefully not a repost, guessing some will have seen it elsewhere, with ~ 2.5 million views lol.
Not a short read mind!
Look wise might not be to everyone's taste, but in terms of craftmanship and commitment to detail, this is unreal.
Bloke pretty much does everything himself...
Got amped components up front,
Just looking for a cheap decent set of co-axial's for the rear just to fill the sound out a bit more.
Won't be amped, be run off headunit.
Maybe pair of JBL's at ~ £40?
Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations?
Edit: think I'll get these...
I have a TV in my room, but no access to an aerial, so have been trying to figure out a way of being able to watch stuff, such as Live TV / catchup / Films etc
I don't have much in the way of stored movies etc, so I'm guessing it would have to be streamed over the internet.
Just wondering if...
As per the title, interested in some Eibach Sportlines for my non sport. Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v.
More specifically these
http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault/renault-clio-mk2-non-sport/suspension/springs/eibach-sportline-springs-renault-clio-mk2-1-2.html
Do they lower slightly more than they do on...
Looking at getting a set of H7 uprated bulbs
Just wondering what people suggest, heard Osram are the best, but which bulbs from the Osram range do people recommend?
Phillips are good too am I right in thinking, again which particular set?
After a more Xenon look rather than standard yellowish!
I'm sure I'll probably get shot down with this, but
I've got Recaro's , just wondering if there was a way I could fit harnesses, but still allow for people to sit in the back.
Obviously most strip or have the harnesses coming out the middle of the seats, which obviously makes them redundant.
So...
As above saw early this evening. Silver 172 mk2 ph2. Riverhead roundabout
After flying across the round about and doing the most aggressive, unnecessary overtake I've ever seen seconds later.
