Added a discrete decal today. A little childish and stupid... but then, so am I. 😅

In addition to the above. My Clio I now own for the second time. Bought originally at 8k miles and ran it for 4.5 years/84k Miles alongside my other car at the time. That particular car was a 575bhp impreza with all the bells and whistles. I can hand on heart say I never had any less fun in...

My toy car is a Cayman R which is probably one of the best road chassis of any type and at any price that I’ve driven. However I still fought like crazy to try and get my old original 182 back. Yeah I could have something much nicer to drive every day, but for me it’s still the most enjoyable...

As said above. A 172/182 is all about driving involvement, handling and feedback. They’re the last real example of a big NA engine in a tiny lightweight chassis. Yes they have their flaws as mentioned above such as seating, position, steering wheel etc. However these are easily rectified and...

15” Turinis could benan option but I think the visual appeal of the Turinis on it is they are that tiny bit bigger. I’m yet to put my 15s on so looking forward to that and seeing how it drives. Unless you wanna try some anthracite 2118s on it mate, I’ve a new set sat here 😅👍🏼

Personally thing the Turinis look cleaner but these still look superb and really suit it. I bet you’re delighted mate. 😍👌🏼

Looks lovely fella 😍👌🏼

So, next little job was refreshing the tailgate emblems. I’d already replaced these about 7 years, but after 15 years the chrome badges were looking tired again. I had deliberated at length over if I should fit the cleaner and more modern Renault Sport from the 197 cars. Or do I stay period...

PMS with leather gaiter looks tidy imo. Warning, takes a shedload of dicking about to get the NVH even remotely acceptable for a road car.

Loving this social distancing, apart from feeling like death. Cabin fever has me doing little jobs on WZD that I’ve just not had a moment to do. New genuine grille badge, amazing how much difference this has made as mine has a fine rash over it from 125k miles of enjoyment. Next was a new...

I’ve cleaned them all up now, but FML mate 😅🤦🏽‍♂️

If you add any mod to your Cup, add a diff. If you haven’t already, it’s the most enjoyable difference I’ve made to my car that can be felt at almost all speeds. Won’t detract from the original car at all, it’s one of the very few mods you can make thats all positive with zero downsides.

System stripped, cleaned, refitted and realigned. All new titanium hardware includuding aerospace K nuts. Also fitted new all stainless Mikalor W4s clamps in place of the old Normas. This should mean I’ll never have any kind of corrosion or fatigue concerns on the exhaust hardware again...

Had a moment when I saw my Rothenburger in the garage... Oops. 😅

Weapons grade bellend! By default, I fricken hate you tubers, this clown is up there with the worst! 🤦🏽‍♂️

The OEM Topmounts have rubber in them to provide some “give” and reduce NVH in vehicle. As your suspension loads up in the corners through steering, this same rubber deflects slightly and allows a small amount of geometry change. Fitting solid topmounts you remove and rubber so remove any...

Don’t bother, my GP was a huge disappointment. Absolute shitbox, hated it as I sold my Clio to buy it. Then modified the hell out of it to try and make it what I thought it should be. Gave up after 18 months and bought my Cayman R. 2 years later I bought back my original inferno 182 which is...

Did the black & red on my OZs on my Mini GP. Looks great imo.

Just need one of these now Rob. 🤣

Cage looks nice Rob, what brand is it? Just need one for my “daily”’now. 😂

Pretty sure you can still buy em new

Turbo 182s come up for sale all the time. Either blag a drive of one, or buy one, run it for a bit and flog it on? Could even buy a nice one with a load of bits on, put it partially back to stock or lower its spec, make some cash from the bits and still come out on top? If you can run one...

Personally I’d go drive one and be 100% that’s what you want before pulling the trigger.

I think the general response you’ll get is to buy the PMS items. Far and away the best quality and design out there at the price. The ASTs and BCs offer camber/castor adjustment via an eccentric design using an offset bearing. Not seen the BCs personally but was never that impressed with the...

Interested in the Gyeon trim. Looks superb. How was it to apply? Thoughts?

Depends how good the deal is. 😅

So, suffering with a good number of the Corvid19 symptoms I’m feeling pretty useless. However even when Ill I find myself suffering cabin fever and with a squillion jobs to do, decided to tinker with the car. Can’t do much on the Clio till then hubs come back, but have a job on the Cayman I’ve...

Lol. Cat fitting kit is a piece of piss. 2 nuts/bolts/springs/washers and a fibre doughnut. Be prepared to cut the old fasteners off if need be.

Can’t see Michael painting his car any shade of pink/purple but it’s what’s easy to see on track lol. personally any track car for me looks best in white.
