172 alloys. Very similar 5 spoke to your dynamiqe wheels but 16"

Here's the test i'm referring to: http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/tuning/Fuel_Test_Results_Update.shtml

Hmm... Read a thread recently from a race team who'd thoroughly tested V-power, Momentum and BP 102 ron in several vehicles over the course of more than a year with regular dyno sessions. Their conclusion was that tesco was far more consistent than the other two with performance equal to the...

Mine used to tramline a fair bit, especially whilst putting my foot down to pass traffic. A light set of 15" wheels has made a considerable improvement.

Looks lovely mate, some nice touches. Closely related to mine too . . .

Twist it anti-clockwise, seems like the wrong way to undo something but that's french design for you. Re attaching everything should be all you need to do, the lights auto-level. To the OP, if your lights are still wobbly you may have pushed the reflector/bulb carriage off one of its ball...

Actually, 3rd reason, when UN-locking 3 beeps means the alarm was triggered by said sensors.

Been covered a few times but i've never added my six eggs... 3 beeps seems to happen for 2 reasons, both down to the pressure sensors at the top of the A-pillar; 1. Intentionally. Turn off the sensors (eg when leaving the dog in the car) by opening drivers door, turn ignition to 2nd...

Arctic blue 182 (snap) EX04 ZGE near Sainsburys, then a mondial 172 PF03 by the King's recreation centre minutes later. 172 looked well looked after.

A smaller rolling radius will accelerate quicker, a larger one will have a higher top speed. In practise most people run 45 section tyres on 16" wheels or 50 section on 15"s giving a very similar overall radius so therefore the real differences will be in the weight. A superlight 16" may feel...

I recently switched from 182 wheels to 15" pro race 1.2s and the drop in weight makes a significant difference, the car feels much more nimble and doesn't tramlinine when accelerating hard.

Just failed my MOT for the o/s one one my 182. Thanks for the info in here, off to get a jubilee clip and some grease now.

Looks lovely mate, great colour but i would say that! Glad you sorted the plates, they were ruining it. Now just get rid of the black wrap on the b-pillar imo.

Beautiful (i'm biased!). Have you re-furbed the wheels darker than standard? looks stunning.

Holts tyre foam and RAC card covers it pretty well.

Some lovely shots, looks great fun even in that p*ssing rain! Great mix of cars, that white gordini almost looks ok. The stripes should've gone all the way down on those.

I'm having a set of Hankook V12's fitted tomorrow, £226 fitted from BlackCircles. Searched a lot and they seem to have great reviews, maybe not in the wet but i'll keep you posted...

You need to straighten up your N/S washer blank! Oh and, Silvervisions anyone?

First off is is a Cup/ did it have the cup suspension pack ie cup hubs, anth wheels from the factory? If so and not a plain ol' 182 your options are much more limited because of the hubs' bolt spacing. For actual lows like it seems you're after you'll need coilovers. If no cup/pack you've got...

The pic for charcoal /anthracite is a turini and doesn't look a lot darker than the Renault anth. I'd say it'd look great against titanium silver. Not sure on the smoked chrome, the pics on the astra make it look as though it needs a good clean! Sure it looks better in the metal.

He's referencing a recent thread in which some numpty wanted to re-spray a trophy cos of the footie team he supports. +100. Why did you buy it if you hate the colour?!

Keep 'em silver and spend the money lowering instead. Eibach sportlines fitted will be cheaper than a decent refurb.

Spotted you parked up here today, looking good. Not a fan of the zorst but i'll admit to being a bit 'sheepish'!

I had my front bumper off for the first time last week, also light related. It's really a very easy job and probably more so to put back on, just take your time.

I've just got Chemical Guys hybrid V7, recommended by magpie V6. Very easy, good gloss and smells pretty good!

Got it, just pulled harder. Thought i was going to muller both parts but the motor survived, brute force ftw Thanks anyway :p

How do i get the auto adjustment motor off the headlight? the whole unit's off the car - looks from the new one and the lack of screws that i just need to twist a little and pull. got the twist but there's no budging it. Anyone done this? Thanks

Ren7oaks wanted that money for my FF, i went to Rentech in Portsmouth as they were doing an offer at £415. Worth the extra travel.
