Didn't think I could insure one until I was 21, just been playing with quotes and Admiral have come up trumps at a touch under 1800 quid. Now, a V6 is like my realistic dream car at the minute, and if the insurance does come in at under 2k then I'm pretty sure I'll do it to be honest, but not...

Gave the car a once over after work, not been done in a few weeks so was looking a little worse for wear! Nothing special, just a wash mitt and some water, needs a proper clay, polish and wax but i'll do that when I get the chance, possibly tomorrow as I'm not working! AST's are awesome, but...

Fitted my AST's today, set them a bit low at first....! The rear arches were supported by the tyres, wouldnt even move!! Lifted it up a bit and went for a quick drive around the block: jack wouldnt go under even on a 2" block of timber under the wheel!! Got a bit more sensible...

Had my car on a diagnostics yesterday, said my Pre cat lambda was mashed, just replaced it and the light is still on. Does it need to be cleared on a machine again, or will it take a certain amount of time to turn off etc?

Anyone know how much a new one costs from Renault? I'm assuming the pre and post cat are exactly the same?

I'm a bit confused about fitting the suspension.... Do the bearings etc go on top of this assembly: Then this comes through the turret and this top plate holds it in: Surely something else more substantial holds them in place that just the 3 adjustment allen bolts?

s**t! Didnt think it would be this loud! Anyway to quieten it down without taking off the decat. the standard one scrapes everywhere so want to leave it off really....

Got some nearly new (2k mile old) brembo MAX grooved discs on the car, and I've managed to warp them. 90% sure thats what the problem is, and I know I know I'm an idiot etc, got caught in some traffic after a blast and couldnt help it much at the time. Anyways, is it worth getting them skimmed...

Just turned my laptop on and it will only start in safe mode :S I can't get restore to work, anyone got any ideas?!

I'm thinking of fitting a drivers harness, 4 point, but not sure where I can mount the 2 lap belt bits... I was thinking I could mount one underneath the passenger seat between the subframe and the floor, would that be ok? Not sure where I would fit the other side though?

Can't find anything using the search, too many results with no info. Anyone know prices from Renault for the above parts please. Also, anyone know exhaust mount prices?

I'm thinking about upgrading to AST's, I want lower and stiffer! If I decide to go through with it the H&R's will be up for sale. They are under a year old, I bought then off an old boy who had them for about 4k miles on a trophy. And I've done about 4k on them myself. They are for Cup...

Was under the car today, noticed a slight gap between the decat and manifold: it's blowing slightly from both ends of the decat too, is it just seated slightly incorrectly and will be rectified by refitting? Was only fitted a few months ago proffesionally with a new mani>cat fitting kit.

Decided at work today that I would get around to cleaning all the fonrt suspension down after it no doubt being covered in road salt and crap. Exhaust has been rattling a bit too so decided to check that out, and then make some homemade new mounts due to perished old ones. Started off with the...

Gonna strip my front coils off today and clean them all up, but what can I use to protect them? Previously used copper slip but it makes everything stick to them, so I'm after something I can buy off the shelf today to do a better job.. I was thinking push bike spray on wax lube? Supposed...

Just went out for a 20 mile backroad blast, and my brakes went. Not very good considering I've upgraded them! Got Brembo Max discs (grooved) Redstuff pads Dot 5.1 AP racing fluid Braided lines Not very impressed to be honest! Don't think they will stand up very well to track work :(

I've done a search but I'm not searching the right thing, although im sure ive seen threads about it before.... Got in the car tonight, pulled off and it wouldnt go above 2.5krpm, pulled over for a second, rev'd the car out of gear and it was fine again? Then left the gym and it did the same...

Not sure which to choose from..... What would people choose, price difference is not worth mentioning, which would be better quality? Car is on a ktec decat at the minute too, I don't want a stupidly loud car, but need to run the decat as it is too low for the standard cat and it hits...

Just beenr eading this on another forum, apparently all aftermarket exhaust systems will be seen as 'illegal' soon. Anyone heard similar? http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository/MoT%20-%20Issue%2042%20-%20Jan%202009.pdf page 3, para 2? Seems stupid, think of all the companies that would...

Finished work today and it looked nice and bright so thought stuff it, called at halfords for a new washmit and gave it a going over. Did it twice, needs a good PC'ing at some point soon to make it come up that bit shinier but not too bad! Went over it twice then just dried, gave it a quick...

Think it might have been you pulling into the carpark just as I left mate? Kinda clocked on after I pulled out!

Just been offered a swap for my 182: 05 reg Silver 40k, FRSH H&R's Turinis Decat 4 new tyres The civic: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/803121.htm I do like the civics, not checked insurance yet, but would this put you off? Not found out what the damage was yet etc. I do like civics...

I've fancied getting myself a half decent camera for quite a while now, but after talking to my boss today who's big into his cameras I think I'm persuaded.... I'd use it for hopefully a bit of motorsport, general pictures etc, just as an upgrade to my point and shoot thingy. Been looking at...

As above, anyone know? Cheers.

I like it, need to go lower on the front but I'll sort that at some point soon. Sprayed them myself, came out decent enough i think.

Am I right in thinking it should be one thick coat of laquer to get a nice glossy finish?

Hopefully be taking my Turinis to be powdercoated tomorrow, what colour should I go for? I fancy black, but then tyres look a bit tired on them all the time....anthracite looks good but done a lot.... this is my car....

Can someone please change the colour of the wheels to gold please. Mainly for a quick glimpse, 99% sure the colour will change! (Hope Fletcher doesnt mind me borrowing his car!)

Put the standard wheels back on today as I'm going to refurb my Enkeis over christmas. I think it looks awesome, I wish they were lighter! I'm chasing some Turinis next though hopefully! Not been cleaned in ages, and not planning to either until the weather warms up! A few pics after my...

Can these be bought?
