Not sure if this should be here, but i'm sure a mod could move it if not ;)
Anyway, i'm looking at buying a torque rench but the ones i'm looking at are ranged between 40-200Nm and 60-300Nm. Which one should i go for? I presume the first one is better for the ranges required on the 182?

I've been doing some spraying recently, white paint outside. Went to wash the car today and it's covered in little white specks. They didn't wash off, i tried clay but that was useless. IPA and ITR work kind of, but elbow grease is required. Anyone got any pearls of wisdom? Would machining work?
Anyone got any recommendations?
Was looking at awersome-gti, but it's 60quid for a run, which seems a bit steep to me.
Was thinking about 30-40 quid would be reasonable for a power run. Anywhere else? Want to give the standard block a run before mods.
Anyone know how to remove the plastic piece that runs along the sill? How do you get the bonnet release through it? does the handle pull off? don't really want to snap it :)
Anyone know what sort of paint should be used to cover up rust on springs? Don't want to put something on that will just flake off? Failing that, would powder coating be ok?
I'm about to upgrade my air filter/feed. I'm looking at either a 45 deg pipe of straight onto the TB, so I want to move the battery to either the boot, or under the passenger seat.
I'd prefer to put it under the passenger seat, but bare in mind that this is a road car mainly and is mainly...
Hi all,
I've got about 1K to spend on the weee clio. It needs a new exhaust and CAT (soon to be silenced decat) so about 700quid will be going on the BTB (if the GB goes ahead) and decat. what should i spend the other £300 on?
Was toying with popping over to CNC heads in stockport and having...
Hi all,
did a search but couldn't find anything really.
Just wondering how many people edit their photos'.
How do you edit, software etc? Any tips? don't want to over edit them really. I'll be using photoshop elements.
Any advice welcome :D
Hi all,
After a VERY frustrating weekend of paint correction (well that was the idea anyway), I have decided to purchase myself a rotary polisher as my G220 doesn't quite cut it (pardon the pun).
Was having to use a 4" pad all over the car and several hits also. So as you can imagine when...
Anyone got any preferences? I'm doing a FULL detail of my car this weekend. Weather dependant, in time for WSR. But i want to take a detailer down with me to clean away the effects of the 200mile trip and add a bit more shine to it.
Anyone got any preferences?
Hi all,
Went to Chill Factor in Manchester yesterday to test out the D40 on my mate snow boarding. If anyone has been, the lighting isn't great in there and when i adjusted the shutter speed to around 150 the photo's were very dark. So i adjusted the ISO from 200 to 400,800 and a few on 1600...
I'm looking for some spare wing mirror covers (colour doesn't matter as the are going to be resprayed). what other models do these covers appear on? Are they the same on all the clios, old meganes and a espace maybe?
Looking for a new distance lense for the D40. Don't want to spend more than £200 max.

Hi guys,
I'm looking at purchasing a digital SLR as i'm wanted to get back into photography. Used to use the old film SLR's for my college course, but not got a clue about the new digital ones. I want it for general use, and racing shots.
Price range i'm looking at is no more than £300...
Noticed that my tyre was flat a few weeks ago. So pumped it up and noticed that it is continuing to go down veryyyyyyyyyyy slowly. The car is on the drive all week, so not driven loads. Took the tyre off and nothing to be seen i.e. nails etc. Any ideas?
Anyone got any preferences? Pro's and cons to both?
I've found this shop on ebay that seems reasonable. Good prices on hoses too check out tht shop. Was thinking about the silicon tubing from this guy too. Much cheaper than samco...
When i had the clio serviced in October i had the TB cleaned for the first time after 48K (looked cleaner than these pics). Anyway, put a K&N cone on at chrismas and now look at it. Took it off, gave it a clean and you can see the difference.
It made a nice sound i might add...
I'm going to painting up the engine next month and was wondering if I remove them would i have to get new gaskets for head-inlet and inlet-plenum?
If so i'm guessing it would be a good time to get matched inlets and PTFE? Thinking about popping to CNC heads and getting them to do it. Is it a...
Going to spray up my plenum, fuel rail, TB and engine mount/cam cover. Anyone got any words of wisdom? I was thinking of following shadowness's guide on spraying for it? Would i need to use VHT on it? Also, would lacquer be ok under there?
Want it to get easy to keep clean finish as the...
Why does it have so much unnecessary weight in it?
- Cambelt cover could be plastic?
- Fuel rail guard?
- Big lump of iron under the DS engine mount.
I'm sure there are probably more things under there that could be made lighter.
I was thinking of having a plastic cambelt cover molded...
My mate had issues with his gear box (W reg ph-quick). So my mate removed it and he took it to a mate of a mate to assess the damage. He said the whole box was fubard. Some of the cogs had no teeth left on them :S. Thought this was a bit strange as when i have driven it, there were no issues...
