    Glass air-box (original renault)

    If its a one off mate, get it prototyped! that way you can create any shape to your pleasure! If its for manufacture and even on a small scale, you have to make sure you have the correct mould angles, wall thickness, ribs etc...

    insurance on 182...

    Yep Postcode is a major i'm guessing? I live in a good area but its a Birmingham postcode even though I live closer to Statford and Worcs... Being a Chav city, I guess that is a factor that is shafting my insurance :(

    Glass air-box (original renault)

    Injection moulding... your looking at over £4K for a complex patern like the existing one. Then you have all the problems with small batch size and testing to get the right consistancy in the polymer. KISS Haha, Keep It Simple Stupid... Some silly University thing I was told, but its true! If...

    Haha, I was going to do a similar one for a "self project" I have the CAD drawings somewhere on my computer... Will check when Im home later on! I contacted a few carbon fibre manufacturers to produce the tube, this would be in two sections with a split line at a 45degree angle, this would...

    Flux were over £800... I hate this country! 8 Years no claims, clean record, 25, Good housing area with no chavvy crime... Privilege were the cheapest at £537 with No claims protection, £250 excess, legal protection etc... Oh and the 0% interest is a big bonus :) ChrisR, you have a good deal...

    insurance on 182...

    Has anyone renewed or started insurance on a 182 recently? A few companies have referred me for being too young… I’m 25 with 8 years no claims and no convictions… Crazy!!! Any good insurers anyone knows of? I’ve managed to get £545 via Elephant Insurance. Fully comprehensive with £250 excess...

    3D CAD Surface modeling....

    Any of you chaps any good at surface modelling on here? I'm modelling up my RC 1:8th scale Kyosho F1 car… It’s come to the body shell and I’m not sure how to model the front nose cone into the rest of the body… I haven’t touched surface modelling for younks… The nose cone is the oldskool...

    Which Graphics Card: GeForce 6600GT 128MB Or Quadro FX 540 128MB?

    Haha, now that you have chosen.... Sell me your Quadro :D

    Which Graphics Card: GeForce 6600GT 128MB Or Quadro FX 540 128MB?

    Oh and GeForce will more than likely have more updates on Vista...

    Which Graphics Card: GeForce 6600GT 128MB Or Quadro FX 540 128MB?

    I don't think it will make much difference if its for general gaming and computer work, its subject to cost at the end of the day! Quadro FX cars are priced too silly. I guess the GeForce will be better as its cheap and less bespoke. Quadro is not made for PC gaming and realtime animation. It...

    Grinding noise from front...

    Its not the Strut Top.... You can feel the friction in the wheel when it slows down... The strut top is yet another thing that I need to get fixed. That happens when turning hard... The noise atm is slow speed and at any turning angle :( Getting new pads and discs fitted too, so want to fix...
  22. Meek_racing

    Grinding noise from front...

    At low speed and also when turning quite tight to the left/right... Would this be brake related? Maybe something to do with a bush or bearing? What is Reno's policy on broken or worn parts? I know they don't replace pads and discs...

    Fronht wheels grinding and thumping noise... yet another one...

    I've read alot of the forums on here about the problems people have and how they have fixed them... ie, the washer on the uprights... Every now and again it will make a grinding noise even at very low turning angles... is this of the same problem? you can here the wheel rubbing over the ground...
