    Anyone ever fitted 197 RS decals to a 1*2?

    jase, whats the dimensions of the sticker and we can measure it up against the place on the 1*2 front bumper see if it fits. if it does i may try one on mine.

    better on 15's than 16's ?

    i was still using the 15's during the cold spell and ice, this sudden lack of front end bite is in both wet and dry conditions only since the 16s went on. just feels very light front end and floaty. i was just surprised that a narrower but brand new cheap parada is showing more grip/feel and...

    better on 15's than 16's ?

    last few months on my 182 i have been using my track 15s with barnd new parada spec 2 in a 195/55/15 profile swapped back to my 16 inch alloys which have PE2's on them about 4mm tread and found the drive worse. ignoring any tramlining it doesnt settle into a fast sweeping corner as well and a...

    spluttering/misfiring like mad - please read :(

    without looking at your engine mate there should be 4 leads in total. these go from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, all 4 of them will start at the same place and will then run towards centre of your engine and will then split up and one will push onto the top of each spark plug at the...

    does anyone have a code reader?

    you get a generic book of fault codes and a description its not really of any use as a diagnostic tool its not specific and doesnt really id a specific fault. its only of any real use to reset your light for decat owners.

    spluttering/misfiring like mad - please read :(

    with the engine running unplug a ht lead one at a time and see if it makes any diff to the running. basically have it idling and unplug the first one, if it cuts out replace it and that one is not at fault. start car again unplug next one if it cuts out put it back in and thats not at fault...

    spluttering/misfiring like mad - please read :(

    sounds to me more like its only running on 3 cylinders, a dodgy lambda wont make it sound like that mate. it will lead to poor running and low mpg as without the reading the ecu will overfuel for safety reasons. new set of ht leads are quite cheap you shouldnt need new plugs yet but they are...

    My clio campus a few mods later... :)

    nice to see people trying some different things though. if it was mine i would actually go back to std bonnet and std rear lights. i do like the stance, wheels and the smoothed front renault front logo is a new one to me. i would get hold of a small front splitter.

    Michelin Pilot Exalto

    good in very wet conditions, bit iffy in the damp and on dry tracks if the tyre pressure is to low you can kill the tyre walls. decent tyres for the price though.

    sportex exhaust systems

    i used them on my old 106gti, they were loud and rotted about 2 years which i didnt mind for the cost. fit was a bit hit and mis needed some of the hangers modding to get a good fit.

    1*2's What is the best way

    going back to john182rs question about 1*2 and mpg best way is change gear early but there is a balance between revs and speed, i would guess upto 3 - 3.5k for normal driving with the 2.0 litre just be gentle with the throttle and keep it 65-70 ish on the motorway. in reality to save on mpg...

    EX05 TBZ and FP02 UXC at Oulton Park

    yeah she did, she enjoyed it and even managed a quick nap between outings, only at one point while i was having a bit of a duel with a 172 cup did she get a bit nervous. the guy was blue flagged but wouldnt yield and to be honest we were evenly matched. i would have expected his cup and no...
