Picking up my freshly painted car today, do I need to leave it before hammering it with some wax to protect it etc?

Yozza is the only way to go. With the cat on it's awesome, not too loud when you're chilling out driving, but plenty of goodness on the loud pedal. Miss mine. With a decat however, anti social is not the world, pulling off slowly used to set car alarms off, did sound awesome when I went for a...

Honda people are friggin wierd. Completely different enthusiasm mentality compared to Renaults, far too uptight! Same as VW..... Decent pictures though!

lol at giving a used car dealer tips on selling a used car.....!

KW's all the way. H&R's will corrode, and I wasnt impressed with mine.

An I love boost sticker on a slow diesel fiesta?! Who cares if it has a small low pressure turbo on it, thats gay.

H&R's will need camber correction bolts really, and while your at it go for some solid top mounts for the front. Although if you go for AST adjustable top mounts, I think they have enough camber adjustment for you to forget about the camber bolts, best to ring Curtis up at Powerstation.

Mine were so crashy/stiff/skippy on the car on the rear, but so much dive on the front. They shouldnt have been fooked either, were 4 months old when i bought them with apparently 4-5k miles use on them. Agree though, get a feel of each set-up as they suit completely different driving styles...

As Warren said, depends on driving. I found my H&R's way too soft on the front, and way too hard on the rear. Reading about the Bilsteins seem the proper ones to go for over any set-upbut I havent used them.

Awesome, cool to have some involvment in that!

I'll drop him an email. I take it they only do them in the 125mm diameters?

Just ordered Russ, missed your post!! I'll see how I go with it, might tag one of those on with the next order. Proper skinted though, this month im buying this rotary, van insurance and a respray on the Teg along with my usual bills, mortgage etc!

Mint, I'll order now. Frigging skint :(

^ I know mate, thats what I meant, the proper rotary ones. How you mean, I was just going to go for the lake country ones (cheapest ;))??

Was just gonna make the order with them now. Well I've got a 75mm backing plate for the Megs which is for the spot pads, and a 5" (125mm) one for 6" pads, which is basically the same? Suppose its worth a pm to make sure it's right!

Thats because your spethial mate ;)

Basically moving to a rotary, I already have pads/polishes etc etc from using them with my G220, so all i need is the rotary (silverline) a 125mm backing plate and a 73mm backing plate. Nothing else is screaming out at me.....?! Help quick please, want to order now!

Spoke to Megs, gonna send it off to them tomorrow and they're gonna have a look over it. Said they dont do repairs but going to inspect it for wear and tear, then either return it to me or propose some other course of action. So have to see what they say next week.

B18's rule! Did you do it or buy it like that? I'd say screw the turbo/charger, fit some mad cams, few extra bits and get it to 11krpm!!

Haha, legend!!

If you want someone with a bit more proffesionalism to give yours another going over sometime mate you have my number ;)

Cheers sugar. Going in for the respray sometime this week hopefully, awaiting a few last minute bits. Not too sure really, just a habit I've got into and seems to work well. Meh ;) Only 10x?! Cheers for the comments.

About time I put this up.... Fraser wanted his 172 going over and headlights correcting, so dropped his car off to me on Fri afternoon for me to work on it over the weekend. It had some light scratching in places, swirling, and the paint needed bringing back to life. No proper before pics as...

Was planning on a rotary early next year ready to use, but keep on with the G220 for now, doesnt look like that will play out! I'll get in touch with megs, worth a shot I suppose!

Only a 1 year warranty right? It was bought 2+ years ago. Boosh, don;t worry about it son, not your fault! But if you want to give me a full refund feel free ;)

Polished a 172 this weekend, literally just going to correct the headlights and my polisher died :( There's a small buzz from it, but no motion. Completely dead? Worth anything as spares/repairs? Time to buy a rotary?!

yes, but that is a link to a rally car video....? I'm talking more like what people on here would use the cars for, on the whole it would be a handful of trackdays per year max, and 'x' thousand miles on the road; just wondering whether the differences you mentioned would actually have any...

For my 182, I went: Standard cup suspension Sportlines H&R's AST's Sportlines For the road, in my opinion, there is nothing better than the Sportlines (Prolines will be nigh on identical just with no lowering pretty much). Both sets of coilovers, even the adjustable AST's were simply no good...
