Thats the exact spec Meg I nearly bought last yr. Silver looks good on them.

Get an alpine i-pod ready headunit. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_720551_langId_-1_categoryId_165474 Allows you to control the iphone from the headunit, select tracks etc. Also has built in bluetooth, voice dialling etc.

Shame. Could you not simply supply the wheel/airbag? And if someone were to join the forum (a new member perhaps?) and post a guide regarding the airbag changes?

You know it's a difficult job? Just something to bear in mind for MOT's.

Mine's been pretty reliable. Off the top of my head, over 40k miles and 2yrs -Aux belt pulley started getting noisy, so had that changed -Lambda started playing up, resulting in misfire -Throttle body got a bit sticky, did a bodge fix and then got a used one for £30ish Bar that, just consumables.

It works, but it's not ideal, as the throttle becomes quite heavy. I managed to get a used TB quite cheap, which sorted the issue. I've got 2 sticky TB's in the garage, I'm going to take them apart and clean everything then sell them on. I'll pm you when done if you want one?

Didn't look dirty when I saw it. Looking good.

Koni's+sportlines+whiteline rear ARB.

Like I said fella, welcome to have a look/go in mine.

From what I've heard, vmaxx are a better bet than raceland. Personally, I'd go OE Shocks and sportlines, + whiteline adjustable rear ARB.

Quick wash. Splitter needs a wee adjustment, but no other plans for the moment. Unless some cheap pro race 3's come up.

If you're going to be doing a few track days, a 172/182 with decent coilovers is a better bet than a Trophy. One of the reasons I sold this For this

I had a similar problem. You're best of looking out for a ph1 twin lambda cat. I've been told the ph2 cat is more restrictive.

There are 2 different ph1 cats. The single lambda sensor version is shorter, the twin lambda version is longer and the same length as the ph2 cat. I've had both on my car, they def exist.

Even driving like a prick it's difficult to get heat into the rears. Tbh if someone has the money for a dedicated track car, a set of steelies with cheap road rubber shouldn't be a stretch.

What will you use the car for? Trackdays etc?

Very easy, and worth doing. Under an hour easy.

2 holes each side. You can have them both in the same hole ( the rear holes are the soft setting). If you then move 1 bolt forward that the middle setting, or you can move them both forwards for hard. I've been told that full hard is pretty extreme, one to try on track IMO.

No, more precise. The effect is actually quite tricky to explain, best to try and get a shot in a car with one. You can disconnect it in 2 mins, so it's quite easy to do a back to back test.

I had a play with mine today, put it on the middle of the 3 settings. 10mins, a clear noticeable difference. If more people had experience of these, I think they would be the most popular handling mod on here.

Handling wise, yes. But the ride quality is barely affected (a good thing). Tbh, for people that aren't venturing on track, a set of eibachs and a whiteline arb would be a better bet than most coilovers.

Refreshing for someone to just accept the points and not whine about it. Well played fella!

Mine used to do it on a regular basis. With and without decat. Wouldn't worry about it.

Yes, but there's a free program (sharepod) which will let you copy the music off the pod into iTunes.

Had both. Handling wise there's very little in it. The pros barely alter the ride from standard.

Looks nice, more pics needed.

The penalty will be the same as having bald tyres, so points will be dished out. Afaik it's not occured yet, but the legislation is coming this year. A lot of the euro stuff is ott, but tbh I agree with this. Having being caught in a rainstorm (middle of summer) on r888's, they are woeful in...

He's talking rear shocks people, not the fronts. The rears aren't anywhere near as pricey as the fronts. Renault direct.

Really nice. Ph2 lights on a ph1 rear works well IMO. But I'm a bit biased!

Not a concern for me lol.
