Looking nice guys..... Need to get the PC on the RB over xmas. Glad to hear that thinks are looking up on the job front Gup, was all a bit sketchy last time i spoke to you!

Nice blue 172 with buckets and possibly anthricite 2118s? Came past me in the inside lane near coventry....spitting a couple of flames out the exhaust:evil:

pm'd:cool:

Cardiff Renault love the c**k tbh. I'm off to Angelworks on Thursday for Cambelt/Aux belt/36k service. Gonna be a hell of a long day, but ultimately worth it.

Shaaaart it! ;) Will do, cheers for the heads up. Oh and thanks for saying it looked good. It hadn't actually had a wash for a week (and in my eyes was stinking). I ended up washing it under street lighting about 8pm yesterday. lol:quiet:

Hello! :cool: I've been spotted!! Did you see me sweving to avoid the potholes outside snow white laundry? Oops. Still not used to it being on coilies :o Were you driving past me?

Lets get some piccies up stigy!

Never had any probs in my housemates, more room in the back of the lupo than my 182 tbh!

Hey Pete, long time no see mate.:eek: Been mega busy in work/uni. Will have a look in the meets thread now. Car (hopefully) passing MOT today then need to get coilys set up (once i finally get some C-Spanners) and bluey will be all good again!! Lol, loving the hair btw! I work in...

I don't think the design of the spokes would look good mate, plus that is one hell of a dish on them! Your car would need to be seriously low and smooth to pull them off imo.

There has been a group buy on these iirc, the car pictured is a member on here. Looked well made to me, and apparently not too loud.

Shaun, as per our conversation yesterday, heres some pics of the top nuts along with the current position of the top mounts while parked on level ground with wheels pointing dead ahead. Cheers mate.

Cheers Fred. Shaun - Will upload pics in a mo mate, thanks in advance for the help.

Both about 3.40ish today: Black 172 by Cardiff Prison, looks good with the recessed exhaust - prospeed by any chance? Mint and clean RB 197 on Mackintosh Place....need to get me one of those next!:cool:

cheers Franx, didnt notice any difference between the holes when they were in the box tbh.

Don't know about the bumpstops Alex, but the ride is awesome,.....so much softer than when it was on sportlines

Hmm, not sure if mine have the adustment or not, will need to whip the wheel off and have a look. Without sounding stupid, which holes are elongated? Is it the two that bolt the coilover to the hub?

Cheers Franx - I am going to get them pro set up, but thought I might need to 'fix' the top mount problem first....?? Might get them set up and see if it helps

Cheers for the replys.... Fred - can anything cure it, i.e solid tops mounts etc? Surely it can't be doing the strut/car any good?

Thats what I thought!!:( Anybody got any ideas on what the hell it might be causing this?

Not yet, am going to have it properly set up once I have sorted the ride height. Will I need to get the camber adjusting bolts to sort this do you think?

If you mean the nut, then yes. Had a garage spanner check them. Its the angle of the coilover unit, its not at 90 degrees to the ground (i realise it wasn't exactly 90 as standard)

Hi guys, Had the H&Rs on about a fortnight, then yesterday when reversing out the drive there was some banging from the engine bay and some weird feedback through the steering. Popped the bonnet and saw that the strut tops don't sit square in the engine bay, and they move oddly when you turn...

My beasty, day after H&Rs were fitted, the front needs winding down but I didn't get any C Spanners, so need to track some down....

I actually got my second initiated-by-them wave today! Was a black 172 in Bath. I usually wave/flash and get nothing/stared at in return, but keep the faith, its sweet when you get the acknowledgement! Ha ha

Looks a hell of a lot more intimidating now! :evil: Looking forward to seeing it in real life again - roll on Jan:cool:

Looks good mate, loving the reflections and the wheels in black look awesome! Don't know if you remember, but I parked in front of you at the motor show in the NEC months ago (poss even last year). I had my RB182, we had a quick chat in the car park! (hopefully you remember otherwise i'm going...

Sorry to bump the thread, but a quick q.... Instead of using a laptop (which I don't have) could I just wheel my desktop out to the garage and use that instead?
