I've used it on tyres and external plastic trim, lasts approx 2 weeks on tyres and over 2 months so far on plastics regularly washed. tried it on the dash by damping a cloth to get rid of dust, spraying a cloth with the dressing, wipe on and buff off. it looked ok and didn't leave a sticky...

Can't get Koni to fit 182 cup'd hubs

had them fitted on my cup'd 182 for about 2years. Lowered approx 1" all round so it had the perfect ride height. IMO the ride was a little crashy on standard dampers for my liking, there was no real initial give to make driving on bumpy roads comfortable before it firms up. it did cut out all...

Iceburg silver Ph2 172 heading along the A120 towards Saturday night about 8.30pm

have you considered checking the two lambda sensors 1st before changing the CAT? as surely they tell the ECU whether or not the CAT is running at correct efficiency, ie not bringing up any fault codes?

quite a few from Essex, welcome

sorry miss typed, AG HD will bring out a high gloss. Durability wise the HD is not far behind 476, but SOO much easier to apply and buff off

add some grit guards to the 2 bucket method is a good idea. standard grit guard can be cut down easily enough to fit standard buckets, have done so with my rinse bucket. i4d uber drying towels are awesome for £10. using a de tar such as AG intensive tar remover or Tardis before claying speeds...

is there any benefit in buying the new top mount, or stick with the old and just get the insert?

I've been using the autoglym HD wax for a year now and it really does bring out the gloss and last well too. IMO not much less than Colli 476. I've not seen it as cheap as that on ebay and think it's a bargain.

have been reading that the DJ waxes really bring out the colours / gloss although don't have much longevity, therefore would be ideal over a good sealant with occasional use and get the best of both worlds? Tight beading and sheeting and high gloss, with long term proper protection underneath...

my de-cat brings the engine management light on quite regularly, mainly when driving economically lol. turn it off and a few days / week later it'll be back on. As said the 2nd lambda only measures the CAT's efficiency and cannot effect the fueling, and it puts up a code to say it's below a set...

cutting out the CAT / mid silencer join is a common thing as you can enlarge it to 2.25" / 2.5" which has had positive effects. most times it can be done by retaining the mid silencer. where exactly is yours blowing? as said before, I'd consider biting the bullet and get a full stainless system

I've been using the uber premium towel from i4d for almost 2 years and it's still great after a few washes. http://i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/I4D_Uber_Premium_Drying_Towel_1.html

The hose sprayer isn't the best if I'm honest, it doesn't really shift much in the way of grime, only really help as a little extra lubrication to washing it down with a mitt. I still use it occasionally when the car's really filthy. Once you've done the whole detailing procedure a couple of...

providing everything still washes off easily, I can cope with a little poor beading. In theory you could apply a thing coat of wax over the top occasionally, say not often enough for wax on it's own to maintain a protective coating, to tighten things up. but at 1:20 diluted I can make almost 1l...

I drove a friends 172 and it was obvious the difference in suspension set up with the 182 cup pack. but changing your car for that is a bit extreme, just uprate the 172. much better to keep the car you know than risk an unknown. IMO the clio's look better with a single tail pipe recessed into...

After cleaning the GF's golf last week I applied a thin layer of C2 concentrate to the whole car (paint/ plastics/ glass etc) and application and buff off was so easy I simply do not trust it's capabilites. At least applying a wax you gat a visible layer on the paint. Washed the car this...

they have plenty in Essex, several evo's and impreza's. They had a program on TV a while back following around the Essex Police Interceptors. I've also seen a couple of BMW S 1000 RR motorbikes.

do these bond over the existing diamonds or a direct replacement?

I'm considering koni dampers to the rear with OE dampers up front on sportline springs? would you still advise against different dampers front to rear as it's on a 182 with cup packs so won't fit the front

become a member and get on the Cliosport market place and get posting, simples.

FYI my bodge is still going strong and has not moved from the day I fitted them with my new exhaust.

standard runs dot 4, higher boiling point is dot 5 IIRC. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?552522-Mocal-Stainless-Steel-Braided-lines-(172-182)-inc-DOT-5.1-£65

Re: FINALLY - Top mount moddified part from Renault! is that the spacer that sits within the large rubber bush / topmount that sits under the turret? was going to be ordering new bearings shortly

I would use it pretty much on every panel below the window line.

A few little pics. My favourite of the Tardis on action. was so good thought my clay wasn't any good as there wasn't anything left to pick up Unfortunately the swirls seem to have been hidden by poor photography

that's one big FAIL and a road to more trouble than its worth in my eyes. In fairness though, at least you won't drop your clay:S

I recently used Tardis and enjoyed watching it all run down the panels. I thought I'd bought duff clay when I used it after as it wasn't picking anything up until I did a panel I hadn't used Tardis on, it was that good. Although I am tempted to try AG ITR in a spray bottle now and see how well...

My RS 192 with decat is a little boomy at motorway speeds, but not too irritating that I can live with it. Just go with the RS192 decat pipe, not very expensive. My EML does come on occassionally but it's easy enough to reset the fault codes and get rid of it.
