    '05 RB 182 with stripes in retail car park, Burnley this afternoon

    ....the one with PC World and Sainsburys on it. Noticed it as I was leaving looking decidedly clean. RB owners do seem to take pride in their powder-blue motors! D.

    With the mad sale prices - any good prices on Logitech G25 wheels?

    As above really? Wouldn't mind nabbing one if the prices were good enough. Really want to give GTR Evolution the justice it deserves..... :cool: D.

    Racing blue 182 with stripes - Matalan car park, Bury

    Nokia messages and contacts extraction

    Chaps, Just needed to extract some details from an old Nokia phone and shove them onto a Blackberry device. As you're well aware, Nokia phones store them as .nbu files that aren't really flexible for imports into other phones. I've tried this link - which extracts the contacts in the .nbu...

    172 Cup on a trailer - Rochdale (inc. pic)

    Followed this, this afternoon. Looked really tidy on the back of the trailer. Maybe had some bodywork done or going to a new lucky owner? ;) It also had '172 Cup' written in black text where the Trophies have 'Trophy' on the back end of the side cill. D.

    B6 CYR - parked over a chasm!

    That's some drop beneath your car, m8! Impressive parking, getting the 182 tip-toeing onto the kerb stones though. :cool: D.

    Black gold 182 - centre of Heywood this morning?

    Stopped at the lights next to Blockbuster. Only saw it from a distance, so no idea of reg, etc... D.

    197 Cup vs Trophy - PC Mag's long-termer opinions?

    "The 197 Cup really is a great car, but the Trophy is a brilliant one." Anyone else agree with this? I'd really like to hear of Trophy owners who have switched to the 197 Cup (or maybe vice versa?) Which one is/was better to drive? Lee - where are you? :cool: Not arsed in the slightest about...

    Ti Rally School Day

    Set off before 7am this morning in fog, thinking that the Saturday traffic around Leeds would be bad. It wasn't, thankfully - but the fog didn't ease up! Both me and my m8 Steve were doing a rally session today. A great learning experience and would happily do another. My 182 felt like a...

    Even amount of thread showing on top mounts?

    I'd guess the answer should be yes - but looking at my front top mounts, I've got a little more thread showing on the driver's side than on the passenger side. Should they be even? Anyone got any pics for me to compare? The passenger side top mount rubber seems to compress a bit under...

    Four years on - and for the first time this week...

    ....I've had a proper go at using climate control. And I'm still really struggling to see what the benefit of it is? :S It's cold now, so whacked it to 24C and hit Auto. Sure enough, the fans kick in as it tries like mad to warm up the cabin quickly. After a few minutes, it drops the fan...

    The Bury '04 Black Gold 182

    ....letting me out into traffic on Rochdale Old Road - when about twenty other cnuts in their cars wouldn't! Cheers m8 :cool:. Seen your car a few times now, but I don't think you're on here. Would really like to know what exhaust system you have on there... D.

    172 Exclusive - near Haslingden Tesco's...

    ...earlier this morning. I was in a work's Focus when I spotted the Exclusive the opposite side of the roundabout. You went up Haslingden Road towards Rawtenstall. The 172 looked very tidy. Certainly not many of those about in that dark green colour! :approve: D.

    Never again!

    Further to the thread.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=373832 ...I will never, ever darken the area of my front suspension ever again! Its taken the best part of 2 days to get both front shocks swapped out - though admitedly, the 2nd shock only took around 3 hours - lol...

    Five hours for pretty much fcuk all....

    Right. I will happily hold my hand up here and be flamed, but how the FCUKING HELL do you get the top bolt loosened on the top of the front shocks? :mad: :S. The hex head is 6mm with the nut below it 21mm, but for the love of god, I cannot get the b******s to slacken off. Even when drenched in...

    4-wheel alignment - a skilled job?

    Just wondering if a lot of skill/labour goes into it? Prices I've seen are around the £75-£85 mark, which for a few minor adjustments seems a little excessive? I've had it done before and the results were instantly noticable. With me chucking on the new front shocks this weekend, I was going...

    Silver 172 on the M60 yesterday afternoon

    ....behind me. Gave it a quick flash of the hazards and got a flash back. :cool: Went past me when I pulled over and it turned off at the Kearsley/Salford turn off. Exhaust sounded good! D.

    Who's 172 Cup did I just flash on Shadsworth?

    ....and got a wave back? :cool: Also saw an '04 black gold 182 at Asda too. Parked deep in the Door-Ding-Risk-Zone.... D.

    Anni @ Subway, Blackburn...

    Please tell me you changed your mind and didn't actually have the healthy option? :cool: Subway and 'health' don't mix. If it doesn't contain 800+ calories, them I'm not interested! D.

    Buying clay-bars on their own. Best places?

    Mainstream places just seem to have a small amount of clay packaged with detailer or something similar. Any suggestions where to get clay on its own? Cheers, D.

    X-reg silver 172 - Warth Industrial Estate, Bury

    Parked up, opposite the main entrance. Just been down there to pick up a bit of kit for work. Also saw a black 197 on Grane Road and blue 197 on the M66 on the way in. Too common those newer models. ;) D.

    RB 182 followed me on M66 this evening...

    Pulled off at the Ramsbottom turn off. Don't think it had Cup Packs on it. Anyone off here? D.

    Modded silver Clio, Heap Bridge roundabout earlier this evening

    Only got a quick look at it, but it looked good. Didn't even get the chance to see the reg proper either as traffic was moving. Had tints on the windows, possibly 17's on and definitely a non-standard exhaust. Anyone off here? D.
