Yep, thats the other option, if you dont trust my mechanic skills and want them done by a professional then give mike@rentech a call.

Oh yes.... so they are :P I sat on them, and still forgot them.....

I fitted mine on my 172, and have helped fit a few other peoples. I've got all the tools and would be happy to help if you fancy nipping up the road :D

Cool pics Next stop the 'ring then? :D

Wasn't me although my plate is T** PHY. There's a few of us with plates like that though.

You want to replace it with a nice discreet Supersprint Mike, nice and quiet ;)

Good stuff Dave, I'm really pleased with mine. It does get quite a bit louder over the next 1000 miles, mine sounds spot on now. Still nice and quiet when cruising along on long journeys too.

Mike@Rentech sorted mine for me on my 172 when he worked for a Renault dealer (it was fixed under warranty). All I know was they ordered a new switch and Mike said it was quite tricky, took ages to get it set up just right.

Its not an exact science, but i basically use the lasso tool to draw round and take a copy of the front and back wheels (usually including a bit of the wheel arch). Then resize the original picture so it stays the same height as the original but reduce the width by about a third, giving you...

Mini Trophy :D

shouldn't be smoke, but lots and lots of steam seems to be quite normal.

Does it do it if you have a passenger sat in the car? I know some cup owneres have mentioned at trackdays that if they go out without a passenger the left front locks up more easily due to way the weight is distributed with the driver sat over the right wheel. Edit: Doh! Mark beat me to it

It doesn't always have to be long fast corners, but mostly it is. This was on the slowest corner on the Bedford GT circuit, a 180 degree hairpin. (original version is on order) .... OK I know I'm missing the apex by a good mile or so, but it had the desired effect.

Sounds like your brake pedal switch might need replacing / adjusting. I had the exact same problem on my 172, and at the time a number of 182 owners had the same. See how much you need to press the brake pedal before the brake lights come on. I found in the end I could brake gently and stop...

Prospeed on my old 172:

Two words..... Saner.... 1.4 ;)

Oops i forgot to take any pics :S Too busy avoiding the snow, and trying to keep warm :dead:

You cant print white (well not in a standard inkjet printer anyway). Inkjet inks are transparent so the colour they appear is dependent on the colour of the material you print on, in most cases white. If you make it off white, it will still not show up as white, just an 'off' version of...

Nah, you'll be long gone mate, you can drive! :race:

So you admit you'll be behind me then? ;)

Cheque posted today :D

Well what you want is a transparent header tank so you can see through it and see how much water is in it........... haaaaang on a minute... :clown: ;)

ha ha ha :clown: So thats the sort of 'special treatment' our cars get is it :dead:

Was excellent fun last year, its just so wide. This years looks like the track will be a tiny bit more technical. Surface didn't destroy my tyres that much but they were quite low on tread anyway. Wouldn't want to run newish tyres on it though. (that reminds me, i'd better send my cheque off...

:S not so sure about that one?

:D At the risk of becoming more of a geek than i already am..... Tell me more?

I used to be with NTL and to be honest the service was great unless you needed to actually call their customer services, then thats when the hassle starts. I'm on ADSL for broadband now, but am actually considering going back to NTL just for broadand. Reason? I will save money as i wont...

Yep, driving my mums 1.2 dynamique is such a totally different driving experience, if you were blindfolded you'd never believe they were the same cars (dont try that at home kids!). I still had fun driving it for a week though, they are great fun little cars to drive whichever model you have...

They are great, ignore the others they're just jealous ;) Interesting to hear your experiences between the two. The Trophy struts are excellent, asthetically i'd like a slight drop in ride height, but from a handling point of view i wouldn't swap them for anthing else. I'm sure some of the...
