    What did the CS's retail at?

    That was always going to happen when they introduced an engine that hadn't been knocking around since the mid 90's.

    Silver 182 hooning round Dovers corner roundabout, Rainham

    Guessing it made it round the corner, but you went backwards into a signpost?

    Tablet charging via USB Hub in car

    hard wire a new 12v output into the back of the cig lighter (inside the console)? 12v -> USB wire USB wire into glovebox wire into hub. Maybe.

    Which French death trap?

    I wasn't stereotyping, just going from personal experience. Totally different IIRC ;)

    Which French death trap?

    Sure do. Never had a 106 or Saxo though. Or a vagina. So not sure what you're driving at here ;)

    Which French death trap?

    In my experience, attractive girls would drive 106's and fat munters wearing McKenzie would drive Saxos

    Which French death trap?

    306 Gti-6? Surely they cost less than water by now

    Which French death trap?

    Rallye. 1% less likely to fall apart within 5 miles, and hasn't got all the stickers to prove how much it's had the s**t kicked out of it already. EDIT: Also, if you took the Rallye and de-modded it, it'll actually gain value. EDIT2: It's also a lot nicer

    Caliper paint

    I'm guessing they'll end up black.

    My Monaro VXR

    Anything that can help it sound like like Tanders' company car would be a good move. Also, slapping a Holden Lion up the sides would be full of all the flavours of win. (I know this is a Commodore, not a Monaro, but same idea) ;) Also, hero. Finally. Nose dragging TT's are for girls and...

    Insurance on Listerine - £230 a year '55-plate VXR Monaro - £360 a year (also, they're equal on tax)

    When do you stop spending money?

    I stopped spending on mine when the belts service was going to cost the worth of the car. So it got part-ex'd instead

    Sub Help

    not a problem fella, it's what the forum is here for :) Summarise: 1) get a new head unit 2) sound-deaden your doors 3) get a sub and amplifier that suits your budget ALso, keep your original stereo because then, at resale time, you can take all the new stuff out to put in your next car. I've...

    Sub Help

    in a word. no. Which is why you should get the head unit sorted first. Indeed, it was a waste of effort changing your speakers at all since the originals are actually pretty good once you take bass off of them and feed them signal from a decent stereo

    Sub Help

    here's what I'd suggest, without being a budget-blower:- HU Sub and amp This in your doors This behing the lining in the boot You cant really run a sub from a headunit....it will either not work at all or be ultra-pap.

    Sub Help

    you can wire the sub to a standard HU, but you;ll lose your rear speakers as the speaker wires will feed into the sub as a "speaker line input". As said, wait until you can get a decent HU in place before you go any further

    Sub Help

    OK. You need a new head unit before you even think to do anything more. The weakest part of your setup is the HU at this point. Indeed, your new speakers are a waste at this time

    Sub Help

    You're going to be looking at considerably more than £40 fella 😧 I'm using one of THESE in the Mazda, it helps flesh out the low-end but it's nothing like a chavvy BOOMZ box but since you have a hatchback, if you don't mind losing a bit of boot space.... This? Or maybe this? As for the...

    Sub Help

    You wont get any kind of heavy bass out of the speakers that fit in the stock holes, even if you cut them out. A little sub in the boot would be the solution. Or an underseat number if you don't want to lose boot space (although these have less output, generally).

    Automatic hdmi change

    I use the different HDMI ports on the back of the TV. Works a treat.

    My Monaro VXR

    Is it the VXR8's that use LS1, LS3 or LT4?

    Do you ever get comments on your car?

    In my 5 years of 172 ownership, I never found that. But it was absolutely standard, cuz not-chav

    My Monaro VXR

    lol ok Up to a point the TT may keep up, but eventually that weenie 1.8 with a fan in the exhaust will have to give way to raw petrol-burning. Quite possibly when the first corner comes into sight.

    Clio 182 issues

    Clio gearboxes are made of bits of old string and cardboard. Not useful in a car that owners will invariably drive like stolen at some point, if not all the time. As such, yeah, gearboxes and clutches are common failures. A service isn't a fault though, that's just maintenance.

    High EE bills?

    Most people have issues with phone networks when they get a bill, nothing new there. But seriously, login and have a look, if something is actually wrong, THEN get on hold to them. Out of interest, when you bought / upgraded your last phone, did you take any kind of discounted-rental deal? As...
