Basically moving to a rotary, I already have pads/polishes etc etc from using them with my G220, so all i need is the rotary (silverline) a 125mm backing plate and a 73mm backing plate. Nothing else is screaming out at me.....?! Help quick please, want to order now!

About time I put this up.... Fraser wanted his 172 going over and headlights correcting, so dropped his car off to me on Fri afternoon for me to work on it over the weekend. It had some light scratching in places, swirling, and the paint needed bringing back to life. No proper before pics as...

Polished a 172 this weekend, literally just going to correct the headlights and my polisher died :( There's a small buzz from it, but no motion. Completely dead? Worth anything as spares/repairs? Time to buy a rotary?!

I have been told it is possible to buy a different style of aerial which is just a small reciever box that can sit in a window etc, connect upto the headunit in the usual way and receive the signal.. Anyone heard/seen/know where to get one?!

I know this isn't for a Clio, so mods feel free to move to other marques etc if needed. Right, Integra is having a full exterior respray (same colour so no comments on changing please!) Roof + Bootlid are faded, Spoiler was bubbled, Rear 3/4's faded, and to add to that some kind woman scuffed...

Selling my bike unfortunately :( Any questions get in touch. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1159360.htm

Just sorted all my bits out earlier on, didnt realise I had so much! Megs Diamond cut Menz intensive, final finish and power gloss EGP SRP Glass cleaner Leather cleaner Tar + Bug remover Back to black Clean wheels Tyre shine Poorboys wax 7 x clay APC Megs shampoo 7 polishing pads G220 36+...

Need to refill my coolant etc (I know it isn't a clio, but surely the same method?!) is there a proper way to do it in order to get all of the air out of the system? Is it just run the car and keep going until the thermostat opens, then keep filling it up until its full and no more air bubbles...

Starting to think about my next car already for when I hit 21 later this year, and for as long as it matters it has always been a V6 when I'm 21 and insurance is doable. Love the looks, sound, rarity, love clios in general. However seen a new S2000 in my works car park, orange one. And I...

Right, so here's my R6.... Differences from the old pics are it now has a rear seat cowl, that gay bar removed and a few carbon bits and bobs on it. Currently stripped down as it needs a damn good service, new sprockets etc, but when it comes off the road in winter I'm going to do some...

Began my mates Focus RS today, clayed it earlier in the week so the paintwork was all ready to go, so a quick wash to begin with. A few before shots showing the extent of the swirling/RDS: Now, I had the following bits: Intensive polish Power Gloss Megs diamond cut Final finish...

Tried to fit one for Slammed172 today when I played with his coilovers, could nto do it to save my life!! Is there a nack to getting it on, or just persevere slipping about in grease until you get lucky?!

I know this is a sign of HGF, however I'm sure it's a fairly common thing on these engines, both my old 1.2's had it. There is tons of coolant and none is being used. The car is used daily for a 22mile round commute so it isnt a particularly short journey. Anyone shed some light?

Whats the main things to check? Apparently was fine before but now wont crank over. Thanks

Trying to get my Teg up to scratch, but its not working. The process is Megs diamond cut, on a Menzerna cutting pad, did nothing :( Then used a Lake Country cutting pad with Power Gloss to even it out a bit. Removed TONS of RDS and swirls, but still not touched the fading/oxidisation. A...

My new car :D Picked it up from Rob off here on Weds, and it's awesome! So much better than the Clio, faster in a straight line without doubt, corners so fast I've not dared find the limits yet, but even so it beats the Clio hands down. Needed/needs a few bits: Swap front pads - Done...

Anyone know how much a CAT 1 alarm would be fitted? Just a rough price etc.

Well the car is all ready to go, just awaiting my number plate being removed by the DVLA. Fitted new rear discs, painted the calipers, gave it a good clean inside and out and all is well. It will be missed, but just felt like I needed a change. Clicked onto 44k today, had no...

Nipped into Renault to pick up some rear discs for the Clio earlier. Had a quick nosey around a 200, actually love it! In white with black speedlines! Anyways, got hassled as I walked out so thought I'd see what they would offer me in p/x for mine. Offered me 6k, which I thought was VERY...

Right, firstly, please read all of this post before commenting on how stupid it is. Getting a van off my dad for day to day use this week hopefully, so the Clio will be used a few times a week if it is lucky. I have the R6 for sunny day fun, so the Clio will kind of take a back seat...

Gave it a good going over today, wheels off, arches a quick scrub, EGP'd the wheels etc. Also got out the results of a hit and run in my works carpark yesterday, gutted when someone asked me if I'd crashed my car, ran outside and it was there with no-one to be seen, no note, nothing reported...

Insurance is due next month, quick quote from Flux was 1250, which seems more than it should be. I'll be ringing around tomorrow etc, but what should I be paying on my modified 182?! 20 3ncb 3 points sp30 Non fault claim 8k miles pa 'D' rated postcode Was hoping for a lot closer to 1k...

Need to get the wipers off, complete as I need to get under the scuttle panel....obviously I've removed the nuts etc, but do I just need to pull hard to get them off? Any damage to be caused?

Thought I'd track the changes my car has taken over the last 8 or so months since I bought it, and the changes I have had with it! Started off 99% bog standard inAug 08, with just a 307 splitter fitted: Had done 35070 miles when I collected it :) Next change were some Eiback...

Saw you today dude, car looked fooking awesome!

Anyone know who's cheapest at the minute?

Changed a bit over the last month. AST's are off and sold, standard height sucks so I think I'll order some sportlines in a second, let it sit a bit nicer. Turinis were meant to be anthracite, took the powdercoaters 3 weeks to do them the wrong colour, so told them to redo them in silver and...

A few new pics for you all :) Car has the AST's off and sold now, so standard height. The 15" Enkeis are sold and will be going as soon as my Turinis come back, powdercoaters did them the wrong colour, so to simplify things I'm having them done silver now! Yozza is still on for now. The R6...

Went past you just in the village, car looked mint. I'm sure I've seen pics of the car on here?

Right, I'm bored and got a few hours spare. I already have some anthracite turinis being repowdercoated, these are my track wheels so not really everyday usage. Fancy doing them a mad colour just for something to do! So, orange, red, green, blue, yellow? Can I have a poll for 90...
