Some further work to tidy up the engine bay... Finally got around to painting the cam covers, went with black to contrast against the inlet manifold. I swear every fcking time I take off the inlet manifold & leads I manage to end up with a misfire when I put it back together again lmao. Was...

Let us know how you get on! And as @dann2707 said, you need to be mostly hitting the hub from the side on to free it. Not the actual thread itself. But even hours of that didn't work for me, hence the splitter method. Robbed this photo from Google

Had this issue a couple of years ago, spent hours smashing the f**k out of it and wasted three gallons of gt85 and got nowhere. Ended up driving a bolt splitter halfway into the thread to grip it, and then use a breaker bar to pivot and eventually free it. Not exactly conventional but did the job.

It's quite the ride. The main storyline ain't great and is far too long, but the graphics, design, sound effects and the sheer quality of acting makes up for it. There's some seriously depraved s**t in there too! Brutal scenes

Epic!

Regardless of the cost of his van & tools, £250 an hour he'll be laughing

Those Turini's look fantastic! Will make such a difference once they're on. Good choice with the PS3s too.

Had some yellow calliper paint left over from the Cup. A pain of a job purely because it's kinda shite stuff which takes 2 months to dry and chips just by breathing on it. So had to redo them a couple of times. But happy with the result in the end. Whilst the Turinis were off I had a crack at...

Small update incoming.. Picked up a Brand New Meguires Headlight Restoration Kit off trusty Fb Marketplace for no more than £5! Pretty happy with the result for now! Not sure how long it'll last. Before After Classic French Stickers for the grill. This view though 😍 ...and the...

Certainly been an interesting read these last couple of weeks for sure!

Can anyone recommend where to buy a cheap cat? Like this. https://www.cats2u.co.uk/renault/32606-renault-clio-20-12-03-11-05-catalytic-converter-re6051t.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA7qP9BRCLARIsABDaZzgkq5grZoop4oYXgUpBl7bPVUpNNltli_s2xcarG9IN-rpISP8E3ncaAnZFEALw_wcB Just want to make sure it's decent...

Don't be too put off mate. Okay, this is a rather large 'blip' in the road but overall, these cars are super cheap to run and maintain if you're handy with a spanner. Best value for money cars on the road imo. Sorry to see its giving you grief at the moment but once it's sorted and you can put...

Just read through the entire thread! Looks absolutely immaculate mate! Nice inspiration for mine for sure.

Nice work mate! Massive transformation from when you first collected it. What wheels are you thinking? Anyone other than the standard 182 alloys is an improvement imo, horrible looking things.

I was never keen on silver 172/182s but I'm a changed man now. I think it suits them so well!

Not exactly, 130k. But drives well and has decent history.

Not surprised there! It's at home here with the country roads in the peak district. Thanks, Whipped it off and repainted it mate, just using cheapo VHT paint. Happy with how it came out.

Took it for a quick spin through the peak district today. Absolutely stoked with it, I dare say it out-handles my old 172 Cup but this is spec'd considerably better so it's not that all suprising.

As promised back in 2018, I'm back in the game. Picked up this nicely modified 182 a couple of weeks ago, properly happy with it so far. Quick spec as follows Induction Kit K Tec Exhaust Pure Motorsport Strut Brace Whiteline Anti-roll bar BMS Shifter Corbeau Clubsports Turn 1 Wheel Turinis...

That's a bargain considering the price of the speedlines alone. Nice find.

I've had two GTi's, epic little cars. I see them in just the normal places really. See them popping up on ebay here and there. Probably around 3 - 4k for a well-spec'd one with a strong shell. The 106s are few and far between though

Cant believe nobody has mentioned a Saxo VTS yet. The few nice GTi's that are left are just beginning to creep out of that budget, but you can get a properly well-sorted VTS easily.

Are the arrows on the camber bolts in the right position? For example, looking from the front of the car, if the bolt on the driver's side is at 9 o'clock, then the bolt on the passenger's side should be at 3 o'clock, so they would be pointing towards each other. If one was at 6 o'clock then the...

You think I'd know how to upload photos by now...

Back in the game after a couple years out! Needs a couple of jobs doing - engine bay tidy being the first. Cosmetically it's not a mint example by any means, otherwise it's a really well sorted car with a decent spec. It's pretty nippy around the b-roads, to say the least. Ktec decat Pure...

Great looking car mate, that's some colour! I think it's crying out for some wheel spacers though.

It's not unbearable by any means. My cup was my daily and it didn't really bother me. Gave it more of a race-car feel ha. But that was just the lower gearbox mount, I can't speak for the others.

Looking great fella! Are you planning on putting the front plate back on? Need to remove the tape if not! 100% invest in a lower gearbox mount if it hasn't already got one, there's a noticeable increase in cabin vibrations but completely worth it. The feel through the gear lever is so much sharper.
