Getting 2118s soon so can someone photoshop the 2.0 badges in white with RB writing please? Hope you don't mind me borrowing the pic Dave!

I know it's been done many times before but what are the best performance mods for a 182 without going into the realms of ITBs and turbo??? Already have exhaust and decat, what do you guys think should come next??

Whilst the cup wheels are being refurbed, i have been lucky enough to borrow some to use for the next few weeks. I don't think that they actually look too bad LOL! Seen them before? ;)

Justin-172 and myself are soon to be refurbing our wheels in anthracite. We have the paint code for the colour but does anyone know how much we will need? We were thinking 4 x 500ml spray cans per set of wheels? Also, do we need any particular primer and laquer and how much of this will we...

After the appalling weather this weekend, I had chance to go out and take a few photos today. I gave my cups rather poverty spec interior a bit of luxury, with a set of new mats (thanks to DazG), front and rear leather seats and RS door sills as you don't even get those!!! :o I also put on...

Right, i know some will laugh, but I want my 182 to have a more cup racer type look on the exterior. Anyone got any ideas on what I could do? Was thinking along the lines of decals maybe, such as Renault Sport in white where a sunstrip would go. Also thinking about black wheels! Opinions please!

I am new to this detailing stuff but after having the cup detailed the other day I was very impressed with the results. Is there a kit that i can get which includes everything to get me started or am i better off buying it all separately? So fair I have some back to black, Autoglym SRP...

Want to try something different as the wheels need a refurb so could someone try photoshopping the following please. 1) Black with white diamonds 2) White with black diamonds 3) Black with a white line on one spoke. 4) Anything you can think of!!! Thanks!

You gave me the wave! ;)

I took a mate of mine to the Witney meet last Thursday as he is a keen photographer and soon to be purchasing a Ph1 172. He has just sent me this pic of Mr Wyborn's Ph1 Vee that he took at the meet!!! Stunning wouldn't you agree?

I heard that you can get a fisheye adaptor for standard lenses (cant afford the real deal :() Is this true and/or is it not worth it?

So i'm a poor student but really wanna lower the car and dont think that Sportlines make much difference. Coilovers i guess are the best way to go but cant afford H&Rs at £750. Anyone recommend any others? Think I heard that FKs are around the £450 mark?

Decided that my weekly excuses were running a bit thin so had to show up to one of the Witney lots meets! Was a good night, even if they are a bunch of wierdos! ;) We had a bit of a play with the camera too. :D The ugly bunch - Rest of the photos can be found here! (PM...

2 of my mates came over Monday night and we were really bored so for a laugh I said, lets drive to Paris! Half hour later and we were packed, had a £14 return ferry from Dover to Dunkirk booked and a full tank of diesel. (Managed to borrow mates Saab 93) 1 of the guys drove there and I drove...

When i bought the car 6 months ago the wheels were perfect, however, after cleaning them with alloy cleaner the paint decided to start peeling....badly! Anyway, is it worth getting a proper refurb or sanding them down and spraying them myself as there are no curb marks or scratches, just paint...

With it now becoming a regular event, todays Swindon meet went pretty well considering only 2 of my Bristol boys showed up! Thanks Gav and Fuzzi! :D TBQH, Daz is enough to put most people off coming with his pure gheyness! ;) Thought i'd do a bit of a write up as I have just bought a Canon...

After having a new clutch, my car went into Renault at 9am yesterday due to a sticky/grinding type noise that only occurs when the car is warmed up (when pressing clutch in and out). They called last night saying they didn't have time to look at it properly so wanted to keep it overnight. I...

So i bought myself a 400D yesterday and have spent about 6 hours taking 1 in-focus shot out of about a thousand. All my low-light shots (in bed-room) are coming out a very yellowy colour. What am i doing wrong? Also i am trying to do the blurred background type shots and have tried nearly...

After putting some leather into my cup i decided to leave the rear stripped as it looks "cool" lol! Pretty dam loud though and makes the car feel much more twitchy! I LIKE! :cool: And for all you detailers, check how clean it is! ;)

Need mac pro for use in a recording studio but new xeons are alot more expensive! :( Any1 know anywhere cheap to buy one?

In the process of swapping my cup seats for leathers and it starts to poor down with rain and has been for 4 hours now!!! :( I did the passenger seat first but am having trouble with the wiring underneath. There is grey and yellow connector which i have sorted out and then there is a black...

Since having my new exhaust and decat fitted I have been getting some wierd noises coming from the cat area. I guess its blowing noises but they only occur when changing gear at high revs and when engine braking!!! Its a sorta of gurgling or blowing through a straw type of sound. Any ideas?

Obviously there's coilovers but i cant afford that sort of money at the moment. What are the best springs to use? I know that sportlines get good reviews but they dont seem to lower the car much more than cup springs unless anyone says otherwise?

Been offered some H&Rs at a very good price but being a poor student it is still a lot of money to me. Help me decide whether i should buy them or not. Benefits over my cup suspension would be really helpful too! :)

Havent a clue where as I dont live nearby but you passed me going the opposite direction on a country road.

Anyone point me in the direction or be kind enough to write a guide on how to remove standard seats in a 1*2 and replace them again? Thanks.

Anyone point me in the right direction or know the code please?

I put up a thread about this a while back but this time i'm serious. I have spent a fair amount of money making it look less of a cup (e.g. leather seats, door sills, even handbrake button, etc) but i'm still not 100% happy with it. I am very seriously considering selling it and buying a...

Somebody recommend me some. Bought some cheap xenon filled bulbs off ebay and one has blown in less than a fortnight. :( Bleeding Hands FTW!

Can anyone solve the following problem? ;) 1*2 FFs have 2 x 501 bulbs for the interior roof light. 1*2 Cups have 1 x Festoon bulb for the roof light. Why when changing these bulbs for LED versions does the cups light not come on when opening the door when the FF lights do??? The LED in...
