Ok, so car on axle stands and then use jack to support engine?

Old news.

Don't use them, swirls galore. Had mine detailed before selling.

I've had both (currently flame red), have to say I prefer Monaco. It's a bit like black though, needs to be kept clean.

Decent warm hatches.

It will be do-able, and they are a bargain. Even with new subframes they'll be under £500, which is a cracking deal for Recaro's.

5w40. I use Silkolene Pro-S. From opie oils (mail order, google them, think you get cs discount)

I think the bumper off makes it easier to change, but I just want to have a look really.

Looks nasty. Love the cadence braking heroes that deny ABS can help. Least it looks like the driver should of been ok.

Cars started making a whining noise, from the general belts area. Had a look at the aux belt idler pulley, seems fine, no play in it. Was going to have a look at the cambelt, to see if I can spot a visible problem. Am I right that to get access it's 1 Jack drivers side up 2 Remove wheel 3 Remove...

The standard trendlines need a subframe that then mounts onto the original frame on your current seats, so I'd imagine you will need new subframes. I'm sure someone fitted evo seats to a clio on here, might be worth having a search.

Are the subframes from the evo?

TBF he'll probably know more than me! Either way they are a cracking seat, they'll look very nice in a 182.

Not trendlines fella, on all trendlines the lower (rib) bolsters appear larger than the shoulder bolsters, the opposite of the pics you've put up. As said, they are based on the recaro speed, but unique to the Evo IIRC. Still lovely seats, I'd just check that they don't have unique fittings that...

+1, fair bit cheaper than the Trendlines.

Wouldn't stop me!

I don't like having my picture taken at the best of times, think I'd kick off if I caught someone doing it without asking.

Insane dedication.

Exactly, the springs are too stiff for the dampers, so it pogo's everywhere.

Love the Trevor, but prefer the Exige in that colour. Lovely.

f**k off big ears. I knew young Riz when he was a lowly pre-reg (ie paid less than reception staff), and spent all his days nervously asking patients to "follow me through". The whitest asian on the planet IIRC.

I think Riz was talking about a 3/4 size plate, but no point on the 197, the number plate space is full size, so extends lower (you can see it on pic7)

Nicest 197 I've seen.

I can't be arsed at the moment. Has a certain charm, being filthy, and multi-coloured. Bet the porka driver at Oulton was even more pissed off that a pos was hassling him.

I've had several quotes (from some very reputable firms) all of which were roughly half this price.

I am (eventually), but not viper green as planned. Saw a celica, viper green, black wheels. Looked chavvy as hell. I've got £x set aside for the car, and I think the engine will take up a chunk getting fixed.

Tesco's and Sainsbury's tend to get there fuel from Shell, BP etc

V-power, the only one that I've seen evidence of the cleaning properties. If they put the same cleaning additives in normal ron I'd use that.

Le-slagathor.

Company went under in the end.
