120 will be more grippy but obviously wont last as long and will probably go off quicker on hot days

Like the wheels marra, are you trying to turn it into that impreza you nearly bought :)

I think any that has been used on a 172/182 will work.. all you need to buy from fastchip is an unlock code and the map which he emails you, its really easy to do just make sure you put a trickle charger on your battery as it takes a while to backup and re load the files

Im always careful what to believe on forums but the rs tuner reviews are all spot on, it really does improve how the engine revs up, it pulls alot better from lower down and is so smooth all the way to the redline. Obviously its not going to be quite as good as a custom map by someone who knows...

I was doing tom to make sure i didnt miss it lol.. yeah it was better than he was expecting too

I might give it a try, i was thinking a stud conversion might help as ive never had a problem with previous cars.. I will look into the scenic shifter but I thought it didn't reduce throw? Just brought it up higher and more precise with the yanoo kit

I dont know if the pms shifter would make things any easier but its a road car and iv read they rattle abit and i dont want that.. I did check where it was rubbing as it started happening after i fitted the 205 tyres.. its catching where the bumper bolts on so aside from hitting it back with the...

Done a few more things with the car since I last updated this, first off i bought an rs tuner module from @Marcos999 , top guy was delivered very fast and really well packaged. After reading up on these i thought it would be worth a go seen as its quite cheap, I sorted the unlock code from...

Had the wheel alignment and geometry checked/adjusted today. The suspension is standard cup apart from cooksport springs. The front is set to -2 degrees camber and 15 minutes toe out. The rear was measured at -2 degrees camber and parallel toe. I've booked Blyton Park for the 18th of april so...

Start with simple stuff mate if you think theres a problem, check tyre pressures, any worn or loose components, also try swapping the fronts to the back as the tyres might have worn to incorrect alignment

Haha dont remind me about that place tom, I'd problably be gettin some zzz's if i was at work now lol

yeah really easy just the setting that was a pain due to not having a ramp, i would have left them set at max negative but im not sure when i can get the geometry set up so i wanted to get them as close to 1.5 as i could

Done a few more things today seen as I got a surprise day off work... Fitted 2 new lemforder track rod ends and renewed the brake fluid for some ATE supergold dot 4 supplied by http://www.roadtrackraceparts.com/ , also fitted the Eibach camber bolts i bought from @STEVE.M on here (trusted...

No worries dan, just give us a text next time your thinking of booking on one.. post up what you think of the whiteline when you've gave it a good test!

Never had the opportunity to drive a mk1 and doubt i ever will seen as good ones are going for strong money now, if you ever get chance to have a good go in a mk3 im sure it would change your mind, there brilliant... just not good if you wanna look manly lol

I personally prefer the N/A, the 3SGE engine is great. Turbo is more fun on the road though ;) I've been looking at the mk3's recently to maybe put a 2zzge engine in, I think the revvy 190bhp would be fun to drive, just dont like the image of the mk3's lol but they are like a big go kart

the red one above is my old one that i had for a while, ive got a black H reg now that im sharing with my dad The tyres i got from mytyres for £61 each, im sure the 205's will have more grip as its more contact patch, i'll find out how good they are soon i guess

old pic of @MrTom 182, before it was turbo'd:

Bit of an update, slowly getting the car to a decent spec which i can use on road and the odd track day. Firstly I fitted an Evol Engineering gearbox mount to try and prevent the manifold banging on the firewall when changing gear at higher revs, bought a second hand offset mount made for the...

You shouldn't get fade with ds2500's or rc5's as people have mentioned and the initial bite wont be too aggressive for road use too g172 will sort you out give him a pm mate @StuOwen86 black wheels turn brown with the dust so you might aswell go with a dark brown powdercoat lol

Had cliosport on back window, i flashed my orange lights when i went past... looked a good example

If im not working tom! Which is a very rare occasion these days lol

Think you beeped your horn at me when you drove past going towards mapplewell

You can get A048's cheap in 195 50 16 mate there really common so pop up 2nd hand alot on ebay, 595 RSR's are cheap too, i think most people will advise 15" wheels though

Iv had 2 clarke 1.25 ally jacks bud, there ok but they both started leaking after not much use... good for trackdays as there nice and light with a pretty low saddle, i might have just been unlucky with mine

Just use ATE and you wont have any problems, people must be mad paying £42/litre for castrol srf in a lightweight clio.. I used to use gulf rf800 and never had that boiling in a 1150kg mr2 so that would be another option and is around £20/l i think

Really like the white 1.2's mate.. good effort on working in the snow, whenever im out in anything other than a hot summers day the neighbours like to have a sly comment that does my head in... what is the end goal with the car then?

looks like an omp boss is it not? I cant help you with the cruise connector as i fitted mine to a 172 cup but the airbag connectors fit through easy if you flip the clip on the connector up first before trying to pass it through

Ive always changed my engine and gearbox oil just before a trackday using manufacturer recommend grade and specification, opie oils are good for recommending grades for different useage but unless its highly tuned i would think they would suggest keep using 5w40
