    a few tyre questions

    I've had a bit of a search and not really found answers, but I'm gonna be in need of another full set of tyres before christmas. So far I managed 18k miles on the first 4tyres, and I'm just breaking 18k miles on my second set of 4. I've stuck with PE2's so far but am thinking of trying either...

    Liquid yellow 182 - A120

    My car, not me driving I'm afraid otherwise I'd have given you a wave. Was my dad driving again, we was bringing it back after having some warranty work. He didn't say that he saw another clio, he usually does

    the car i gave away to buy my 172cup

    Were you ever on the RTOC, I was many years ago when I had my 5 GT Turbo. I went to a rolling road day at JamSport and remeber seeing one almost identical to yours, if it wasn't yours? Lovely looking cars although I've no idea how well they drive, what are they like?

    metallicabud, black 182 Braintree

    I think I've finally seen your car for the first time on the way home from wotk last night. I normally turn off before then but I saw it in the distance so thought I'd have a look. Think we need to arrange a mini meet, there seems plenty of us in and around Braintree now

    New paintwork

    I'm having a new bonnet fitted and sprayed this week, and have it blended into the wings etc, so I doubt it will all be put in the paint oven. I've done a search and have read you should let the paint breath for a month or so, but how long should I leave it for? I wash my car with CarPlan...

    S6 EMY - Braintree

    That did make me smile when I read that. It's strange sitting in McDonalds seeing all those chav's doing barry laps, made me feel old. But there were still people in there that I knew doing laps so it made me feel better knowing I'm not sad like that

    Petrol Blue 182, Tiptree Nr Colchester

    Was in Tiptree this morning and saw a Petrol Blue 182 54 reg parked on a drive way. Shame it was in the shade, would have looked lovely if the sun was shining on it

    LY 182, M11 Northbound Saturday 6.30pm

    Thought it was my car (I'd just left it with the garage for some warranty work) going Northbound up the M11 Saturday around 6- Half past 6 but you had a little white sticker on the drivers side rear window. Was maybe 10mins north of the A120/stansted roundabout

    Yeah I admit it is a bit sad sitting in McDonalds, but hey, it seems like an aweful lot of you are still going in there :o Plus my car is in this week for some warranty work so I had to get one last fix before I swapped it for the Honda Jazz :dapprove: Sounds like a local mini-meet is in...

    Fun? I was only standing in WH Smiths flicking through the article :rasp: Hopefully -J- will let us know how he got on soon

    Performance Tuner magazine test yesterday

    Was standard as far as I know, it said it made 164/165bhp. In theory a better flow into the inlet would benefit a std engine, but you're not gonna get the most out of it unless remapped to suit.

    Performance Tuner magazine test yesterday

    The original and best I guess, can't think of anyone before K&N making kits. They did say that the original airbox was a pretty good design, and something like 0.5bhp increase with the panel filter

    Performance Tuner magazine test yesterday

    They didn't test the ITG maxogen or the BMC CDA or what ever the thing is called. They didn't give torque figures either unfortunately

    Performance Tuner magazine induction kit test

    Melting Steering Wheel: Renault Reply

    Mines nowhere near as bad as those pictured, but it's still melting on the right hand side, it's a 55reg 182. Took my car in the other week with some other problems to get sorted ounder warranty (intermittent starting, paint bubbling on underside of bonnet) and they've agreed to change my...

    Just curbed my wheel

    Was just pulling up to a house for work, and one of the curb stones wasn't straight and I caught the corner that was sticking out. To say I was a little p!ss*d is an understatement. I've been driving 8 years and it's the first time I've done it. Luckily it's only caught one spoke of the...

    OCD at its best (lots of pics)

    Painting the edge of the disks biting surface won't do any harm either, I went over the edge by mistake. I tried cleaning it off with some brake cleaner but didn't get it all off. if its dried properly when you next use the brakes it'll scrub it all off. You used to be able to buy fully...

    OCD at its best (lots of pics)

    The paint is soft and once the wheel nuts are all torqued up the wheel will sit level. You're talking about such fine tolerances that the wheel casting will be more out than any affect that painting the disc face will create, not including the general movement of the tyre heating/ cooling as...

    Yellow or Standard chrome?

    I'd have the wheels satin, and leave the diamond silver not yellow. I think the Yellow diamond would look lost in the black wheels.
