Well I did hear good reviews regards Hutchie that's why I chose him to do it in the first place, he seemed extremely confident of his capabilities, I knew him pretty well so that's why I trusted him. Nevermind I will be paying for his mistakes for the next few years, atleast a few things were...

The worrying thing for me was that it was Hutchie and his father who repaired the first f**k up, only for it to go again 5-6 days later. What goes around comes around ;)

I think its a yes and no for me, I think some non sports can look really good without having to add the sport bumpers etc. If they can afford to do it then why not, i'd just hope one day they'd do the engine conversion instead of selling it for a propper sport

They sound better with boost :D My mates had a few, I've driven some of them and been passenger in others, they sound addictive but in a mk2 they're no faster than a 172/182

Yes mate, it looks gorgeous

I know of 3 in the north east, one of which I've just paint corrected

If you haven't already thrashed the clio about then give it a good run out and see what you think, sounds like the scoob is well sorted. I love the handling on bro's evo but it feels boring. In the clio you have to work for the results and you'll probably have more fun, maybe not as fast as the...

I didnt realise people still did handbrake turns? LMAO

Thought I could help with this one

I think you'll have more fun in the clio tbh, what it lacks on the straights it will certainly make up for in the corners

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner I'm in love, I think grey on any car looks good if the correct tone is used.....brilliant work :D

Do plenty of research before you get one, understand the maintenance schedules involved and possible problems you may have. Also factor in a cambelt change at some point. Try admiral, they've been top on quotes for me for this year, totally beating brentacre, adrian flux etc. A lot of people...

Don't blame you, PVS is an awesome show

Gally, your car is utter p**n mate, you've got it looking really well and its a big credit to a rare model. I wish I could take decent pictures of the cars I paint correct etc, I just have a normal camera, I dont do all of this PS editing etc I just dont have a clue. Looks like you dont need...

Re: Austin-182 progress thread (2 years late) In the game porter cable, think we need to get some shots of both cars together

I hate trophy's :( I would love another but the lure of an R26 in white is far too much to resist.....or another mini :o

They're standard size mate?

After the excitement of getting the wheels and coilovers on a week or so back, I didnt get chance to give the car a clean before grabbing a few snaps.... Moved to another location.... and to finish I've taken off the camber as it was making the car tow in too much and...

25mpg? LMAO you must be driving like tools. I could get 25mpg out of my old supercharged mini driving it hard, the R56 is meant to be streets ahead MPG wise.

Really really liking the detail you're going into with the ph1 mate, my next steps would be coilovers and a nice exhaust system

As far as I'm aware normal brake lines expand with heat, so the pressure isnt kept at the same rate, giving you a softer brake pedal giving the effect of brake fade. Braided lines cope with heat a lot better so meaning the fluid pressure can stay right up without the loss of pedal feel...

Didn't notice you'd made a thread mate, really think they suit the motor, they're lovely wheels and the finish is awesome, well worth the extra I spent on them

I'm going to drive down on the day at around 4.00am so those who arent wanting to stay in hotel can follow me down...

Re: Damn good clean Thanks again tommy, lovely car and should be even better if you keep on top of the paint now, looks awesome after correction :)

Awesome shots there, no vids? ;) what's the specs of the RB and who does it belong too?

Really nice, slight change from turini's. Wasnt there a problem with the offset/fitment of these for clio's when rota's first released them for 4x100 fitment

My 2001 ph1 172 had holes there as well

very quick car you have there, do you have any pics of the outside and a spec list?

I'm genuinely shocked mate, please dont do this to the trophy, its too good to clean, get the BM sorted though its one of my favourite colours

Sorry my friend, that was a statement regarding the white car with gay coloured wheels The custom springs were made by this company http://www.coilsprings.co.uk/ They were based on an eibach sportline spring, they then took all of the tolerences of the eibach spring but made a smaller spring so...
