Any updates?

Greens will be fine your first trackday as your be taking it relatively easy (i would have thought) get some good brake fluid though and braided lines if you want too. Everyone slags greenstuff pads off but the compounds have changed since most people last used them. There still only...

Theres a guide in the guides section

If there telling you the cats broken up on the inside then I would personally take it off and expect it yourself. If you handy with a spanner its 4 bolts and on the 182 it is a really quick and simple job. If its not broken inside then its probably a lambda sensor. Is the car giving bad fuel...

how did you get in?

if it doesn,t go after the lights have been on for a while then take the cluster off and dry it out by blowing a hairdryer into it. Also check all the seals while it is off.

When I came to renew my insurance I told them why I was leaving (ie they dont insure mods for under 25s) and they would insure everything bar a remap and sports cat. So that was exhaust, brakes, suspension and brake lines. So they definately allow some mods especially if your already a...

Shouldn't be cutting random wires with the battery connected let alone with the ignition on and the engine running. Check the fuses first.

I take it your not running standards internals?

I personally didn't but I suppose you could.

The gasket on the 172 is rubbish could never get mine sealed. Just used some hightemp silicone in the end and its been fine

I'm quite sure if you do a search you will find that its not suppossed to be conected

Adds a bit of induction noise but I doubt you'll notice a power increase.

Hes not running EBC's though

In the same situation cant wait to get rid of the run flats.

If its not far into the policy I would be inclined to change company.

Could be leaking from the thermostat housing.

On otherwise it looks like someones nicked them!!

Supposedly

Ive always got away with getting 3 litres as you can never get all the old stuff out.

Who on earth suggested to you that it would wipe the airbag/ecu programme?!?

Looks standard to me as theres rust on it!!! Definately needs adjusting though

The squealing/whining is probably the aux belt tensioner or most likely the pulley wheel. The pulley wheel is prone to failure if its not replaced as its in an area of the engine thats not very well protected from all the crap off of the roads. No your just driving around in a ticking time...

That list is rubbish. I would even class half of them as hot hatches

I would check the conections first. I had a problem a few months ago that when I braked my side lights would turn on and it was a loose cable.

iirc removing the fuse puts the brake distribution at 50/50

You cant turn it off iirc the whole system has to be removed.

Ive noticed mine doing it more since I fitted uprated pads and braided lines. Have you got factory pads fitted? As you said though it only happens at low speeds.

If you can afford run it then why not get one IMO. Expeciaaly considering the car market is flooded atm. You could get some serious discount over the asking price.

Was that not for a 182 cat though?
