I'm using AP Racing fluid (demon tweeks stuff, about £5 per 500ml bottle i think) it's dot 5.1 but i never bought it for that reason, more the high boiling point.

Rich, I'll send him an email and see what he says, might not have time though. I'll let you know.

Lad who did mine lives in Hinkley, ex Clio Cup mechanic, I'll ask him if he fancies doing it if you want?

^ Suppose it depends on driving mate, I don't do many miles so doesnt really affect me, but on the odd motorway trip it is a bit wierd. Although, the handling is awesome, so well worth a bit of inner edge wear etc!

just short for negative

Doesnt seem like much front camber? I'm running -ve 2.5 on the front of mine. Not sure what my rear camber is as a pro place didnt set it up for me it was a ex clio cup mechanic as a back hander, but been told about -ve 1 on the back is a good set up. Good news is if you take it to more...

^ You serious?! Never realised it had dropped so much! I'm guessing this is recession fueled?

Wheels £300? Front lights £40 Rears £30 Interior £250 Bumpers £90? Wings/skirts £150? Bonnet £70? Not far off a grand there already? Should be able to make a few hundred, then scrap the shell for £150 too? Never done it so not 100% sure, but must be money there. Not far from me either.....hmm!

Thats easy money there, sell the wheels and strip it for parts then scrap the shell, if I had the cash to hand I would do it no problems.

I have Paradas, in the snow they are, erm....'fun'

Re: What will she make??? i honestly think 170+

Angle grinder needed here

Am I right in thinking they are 12mm x 1.5mm?

The set i refurbed for my 1.2, paid £80 for them, sprayed them roughly and sold them on for £320 without tyres! That was a random offer too, never had them up for sale!

Bump, help please.

Will only look good if there is actually the cut offs on the car. Otherwise it's like a sport badge on a non sport. Plus will look stupidly random, and normal people won't have a clue what they are about. Should have saved the £5 odd i bet they cost towards some coilovers and lower if from...

Right, need some help with working this out. Standard bolts have a 23mm long thread. I've currently got longer bolts in, but ignore that for now.. I'm running 10mm spacers all round, meaning that I would now need 33mm long bolts right? On rally designs, they sell the following lengths...

pics of the owner?! Nice car!

My old 1.2, on 195/50/15's.

Agree to be honest, mines used to demist the windows or on full to warm up, once im warm it's off. Hate the noise of the fan etc. Although never knew there was a 'proper' way to use it, i just do hot/cold then off when im happy. So wish I got a 172 cup :(

^ The pic of the R36 engine does, a VR6 says 'VR6' on it ;)

I always thought the VR6 engine wasn't a V6?? Anyone confirm?

Didnt get any pics yet as it started raining when I went to look over it. Damage I can remember is: Front left wing smashed Headlights hanging off Bonnet fooshed Slam panel fooshed Front bumper ripped off Gear linkage snapped Front left wheel pushed back Left whishbone bent upwards Some kind...

Thanks mate, good point. Everyone involved was fine :) It wasnt head on, the corsa was turning right as he was overtaking, both cars in the wrong, although on the face of it it looks 100% his fault.

Yeah, I reckon if he decides to not repair he'll want to do it to another though. He'd just had a new exhaust fitted last week too. Gutted.

Thats what I said to him about getting a new one, but he didnt seem too keen. Can't be written off technically, he's only TPFT.

Yeah he would be miles better doing that, i've told him too, but he doesnt want to let it go. It's his pride and joy. Well the damage I know of: Kinks on A Pillars Bumper off and fooshed Left (i think) wheel pushed back Lights hanging by the wires Cross member damaged Thats what another...

I havent got any, ill get some tomorrow, obviously not in its glory though. Feel gutted for him, renews his insurance early next year so was set on letting Ktec loose on 2.0'ing it as he could insure it when he renews. Apparently he's had a quote of £4.5k to repair it! Also been told it has...

To be fair it was done properly, he bought it like that, original Renault bodywork (£££) needs some slightly bigger spacers on the wheels, and a bit lower on the back but from a distance it looks quite good. Easy to say its rubbish on here as everyone knows the specific points about that so...

Yeah was gonna do that as well actually, although it's a 1.2 so will be a bit different. It's past a write off by miles, but he wants to get it all fixed cos he loves it, V6 replica. Gonna get it up in the air and have a good look round etc, just wanted to make sure I wasnt gonna miss anything...
