You'll find yourself wanting to replace everything to make the most of the higher definition. My old freeview pvr looked ridiculous on an hd tv. Scart is analogue and hdmi is digital so the results won't be great, pretty sure you can buy cables though. Can also buy analogue - digital...

Renault have been known to make a contribution to the repair costs, even outwith warranty, as they are really big on safety. Although with obvious pothole damage they might not be interested.

Well if you have 3 clearcoat alloys and one powder coated / painted I reckon one will stand out.

you can't really refurb one wheel it'll stand out like a sore thumb, sourcing a wheel is probably better

In fact I might be talking mince, think I paid 40 per wheel but there were no tyres to remove or fit.

Usually about 60 / 70 quid per wheel

Seatbelt pre tensioner required too?

Track rods made a huge difference on mine, slight play would have passed an mot no problem, changed them and tightened the handling up brilliantly.

I was advised only to use genuine Renault track rods and had to identify the rack first, there was a sticker on it which was just hanging on! Can confirm my 52 plate 172 has an smi rack

Check track rods too

I'm actually just adjusting mine now and there's only 2 turns available, I didn't realise I was running them so close to full hard on the back.

They're knurled so yeah, you can align to a specific knurl (bump). Make sure you turn them to full soft or full hard as a reference point and use the same reference point for each side as there may be backlash in the adjuster I.e. one turn from full soft might not be the same as one turn from...

K110 v12 are the Venus evo ones liked on here yes

I have a logitech harmony too, pretty decent

Love these, want a Trophy as my next car

Try performance tyres they have a place in ayrshire, £62.96 per corner supplied and fitted. The tyres are excellent I recommend http://www.performancetyres.net/contact.htm

Welcome & enjoy, I work in Coatbridge. There's a flame red one I see cutting about and I saw a girl driving a silver 172 the other week too passing Tesco.

Rears should be run harder than fronts otherwise it feels terrible. I have run mine on full soft and it wasn't great, currently run them as follows: 1 1/4 (1.25) turns from softest at the front 1 3/4 (1.75) turns from softest at the rear

Sounds like a good setup, how do you get on with it?

Love the RC8, still think the 748 / 916 are ironic. BMW S1000rr is nice in the flesh / detail. I like the monsters and street triple, daytona 675 is awesome too, sound amazing. 916: Street Triple: S1000RR:

Danny those are what i'm referring to too

I have some strut top washers here Danny if you need them. Never fitted them when I fitted my new top mounts / shocks etc.

Squeezebox boom looks kinda cool

I'm a bit of a newb with home entertainment stuff. My setup is: LCD TV Upscaling DVD player Sky HD XBOX 360 I use a Logitech Harmony control. I don't have a working hifi and was thinking of getting some sort of tablet pc and speakers in order to play a stream from say spotify or...

The damping is easy to adjust, camber correction is not built in but is easily achieved with camber bolts. Both Koni and Eibach are reputable brands with a good support network and very good heritage. Coilovers were never even considered for my car, to me they would only offer the option for...

I bought the Konis second hand, one of the rears failed after a year (not burst just collapsed due to a clip failing in a groove), a bit of a ballache but I have a spare rear now at least.

I have this setup, imo it sits perfectly. I have camber correction bolts on too and run the dampers in a fast road setup: 1 1/4 (1.25) turns from softest at the front 1 3/4 (1.75) turns from softest at the rear Turn in is quicker and there's more feel, recommended. I replaced the top...

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? fair enough, ifail

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? mated to a different gearbox which usually has different driveshafts?

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? If driveshafts are unequal lengths it will cause the car to steer to one side more than the other, so I can only imagine having the wrong driveshafts would have the same effect. Torque steer basically...
