You can see in the picture below the loom of wires in the shiny covering. This was where my rattle was coming from as it got jiggled around and vibrated on rough road surfaces. I had to insert a little pad of foam between the shiny stuff and the plastic trim where the rattle was coming from...

Quote: Also, there is a rattle coming from the glove box area, any ideas what that could be? Classic 182 rattle (i had it), and heres how to fix it: If you look in the passenger footwell under the glovebox (need to get onto your knees outside the car) you will see a loom of wires bound...

when people talking about "matched" manifolds, what does this mean exactly and why does matching them yield more power? better airflow because of less turbulence?

mmm i wonder if im hearing the induction kit more than the exhaust

Ahh good point, you got an induction kit on that or standard airbox + panel filter?

Theyre great vids, i didnt upload the one you just sent cos i didnt think it was the best ;). Definitely want to get the Magnex now.

Videos supplied by steamywindows. I think it sounds amazing, not too loud, nice rasp and good bit of burble. Those Prospeed exhausts sound too loud/boomy for my liking, this Magnex is definitely more my cup of tea. Youll probably need the latest version of quicktime to view them, you can get...

when its cold, damp, dense air i do feel more poke lower down.

How do they test for rattles that come and go? Do they put the car on a vibrating platform or something?

oh arse, mine was rattle free (6 months old) until about a month ago when it developed one from behind the dash/instrument cluster. It comes and goes, but would have been good to get it fixed.

are trim rattles covered or repairable under warranty?

No brainer, Evo 8. As much as i like the V6 and think its unique, its just not Evo 8 territory. I would like the ability to carry four adults comfortably and plenty luggage whilst still being incredibly rapid; plus the 4 wheel drive.

as does mine Get yourself a set of McGuard Ultra locking wheel nuts from Halfords for £35 and youre sorted. Alarms ... nonsense, if someone wants to trash/steal your car, all the alarms in the world wont stop them. Imo.

Damn, just when i thought i was saving up for a house deposit nicely, someone posts another "200 bhp y0z/benR mobile" to tempt me!! Looks like a smashing piece of kit, sorely tempted!

Quote: Originally posted by Clart on 16 May 2005 and how much have u lost on it in 6 months? Dunno mate, good question, but if i was to sell it second hand id be looking at trying to get £11k for it? Only 5000 miles on it. Im not wanting to sell it, so im not bothered on what its worth.

Its the speedo/rev needle i think, or the mechanics behind it - i get it too. Turn the music up. :)

For reference, I bought mine last (some others got theirs for the same price) november with both cup packs for £12.5k.

My engine mounts looked fine, but still knocked. Get em replaced. The new mounts look different from the old ones.

I have the green cotton panel filter on mine, it was a little bit louder at high revs. Hard to tell if there is any performance difference, but i fitted mine when the car was tight with low miles. Since its loosened up with over 5k miles on it now, its definitely pulling better mid-range, but...

Hmm, new one on me - the only knocking ive had is the classic engine mount issue. I also get the "exhaust clicking" as it cools down after a run in the car - no problem there though.

300 bhp V6, i bet that shifts.

will the dealer fix rattles under warranty?

dreadful

cant remember the plate, was too busy thinking "thats a nice bird!".

I was heading into Bridge of Allan about 5pm, saw a 172 Cup coming the other way, private plate - looked like a cliosport sticker in the back window, good looking blonde driving the car. Anyone?
