Well, after finally getting the rear bearings delivered, and the ABS rings kindly donated by Stevie and fitted to the new rear discs - yesterday had the 182 with some new anchors on. :cool: The actual fitting was mainly down to StevieGreenstuff and me dad. I did a few impressions of looking...

....in the top centre of the rear window. Went past us in a bizarre set of circumstances. We'd just come back from Rochdale and Jain spotted a bloke at the bus-stop with blood pouring from his head. We pulled up around the corner and walked back, by which time another couple in a Focus had...

Approx 4pm this afternoon - boot & back seats full of stuff from the looks of it and the car sounded well, when booted! Anyone off here? D.

Is it worth changing every couple of years? Is it worth doing at a service interval - say the 36k one? Is it a sod to change in the first place? :) D.

Spotted it coming the other way through traffic. Only glanced at the plate - could have started YP55, though I'm not sure on that. It was either carrying some weight or it had been lowered too.... ;) Early afternoon today (30/7/07) D.

Well, it was a great day to clean the car. A bit too good in a way as the sun was really strong. The neighbours were out so it was a good excuse to nick some of the shade on offer... ;) A decent amount of black goldage going on....:cool: However, mine was totally outclassed by...

Having had it confirmed that my original set of discs and pads have long since seen better days, I was after some suggestions for replacements? I could just reorder original Reno spec parts, but I'm guessing that better spec stuff isn't much more to buy? Any thoughts or ideas would be...

I'm doing well this week! :cool: Not only did I get a first drive of Stevie's Ph.1 172, but after finishing work today, but Chris (Chris & Nic) brought his modded 172 Cup around for me to have a go. Apart from the obvious lightening of the car with it being stripped out and fitted with...

Was it you, m8? Approx 1pm today.... D.

Me likey! :D Just had a brief drive in StevieGreenstuff's 172 and I must say, it's a significant change from my 182. The whole package feels a lot more 'raw' and much more willing to tell you what its doing and what is happening to those wheels up front. The 182 does that also, but it feels a...

My first time down there and I really enjoyed it. As others have said, the weather did a great job of holding off the rain for the most part and generally, things seemed well organised. Apart from getting in the place - which took us nearly an hour, fighting amongst other Frenchie-mobile owners...

Is it a worthwhile idea, or total overkill? Mine will need it's 36k service in the next couple of months and as I plan to stick hold of it for another year - I'm thinking it's another plus-point to the potential buyer at circa 48k and 4 years of age? Just a random thought bouncing around...

Anyone? Went out at dinner and when I came back, the nice looking '55 plater was sat in the car park. :cool: Had a nasty scuff on the front bumper :quiet: - but otherwise looked really well. I really do have a soft-spot for Trophy's and its not often I see one. D.

My eyes, my eyes!!! :S Click on any of the top-tabs (Download, Product, etc) and see the effect. https://www.microsoft.com/servers/faces/default.aspx Some colouring-in marketing dept. decision has gone a bit wrong there, methinks! D.

The Lover of Mud.... The Absorber of Crap.... The Defiler of PC Efforts.... ........ I bring you the Derty 182 Mofo.... :cool: God it needs a clean!!!!!! :) D.

A combination of liking the new badge and the fact that mine resembled the shape of a banana - made me buy a new RS badge set for my 182. Here's how it went.... Bendy, bendy - didn't look too bad looking down on it, but from the level, it was proper bent. I'm sure that if I threw it, it...

At the bottom of Grane Road and turned left, heading towards Preston. I was a few cars back in traffic, but couldn't see any stickers? D.

Ok chaps - please tell me I'm being a proper bell and making these CAT5 cables up wrong. I've got the cable stripper, the CAT5 plug, the crimping tool and plenty of CAT5 cable to practice on. What I'm short on is both patience and talent. How the funk do you get all 8 wires to slide into the...

Feck - it's a tad quick! The Mac Pro from the other thread... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=234118 .... finally had the 4GB of memory turn up this morning. We left the original 1GB in there, so it now has 5GB in total. Time for a bit of speed comparison... Opening the...

Spotted it as I walked in. Looked clean and shiny - even in the rain! D. (aka The Supermarket Stalker)

FFS - I only ever seem to spot RS's in bloody Asda car-parks! ;) Anyways, spotted this one on the way out tonight - just loading up with some last minute things before we set off for Oulton Park in the morning. :cool: Anyone off here? I didn't notice any stickers. Not a fan of...

About 20 mins ago. Apologies to the occupant - I think I terrorised her by knocking on the glass and saying 'hi'. Not a good way to introduce ones' self. Sorry again..... ;) D.

Spotted a 172 Cuppa coming off the roundabout and then a silver 182 in a similar spot about 30 minutes later. Anyone off here? Approx 12.15 - 12.45? D.

Nowt new, I know, but the old Dale Winton-esque indicator bulbs got changed for the Silvatec ones from Halfords. I'm amazed that such a subtle change makes the front end look a lot tidier. I actually think it looks even better on a black car as the orange of the indicators just clashed really...

Just prepping a few laptops for work now. Why on earth do manufacturers preload so much crap on their laptops/PCs? First to go - Norton, without a shadow of a doubt. Then the five ISP setups, care programs, registration documentation, security turd and other 110% useless bits of crap. These...

Hat's off to Apple - they definitely know how to make a decent case! I'm hoping the guys will leave it alone for the time being until the other bits arrive. There's the 4GB of memory, 2x 500GB drives and an ATi X1900XT on the way - the gfx card being the last to arrive towards the end of next...

Having a mooch last weekend at some PC titles and came across Shadowrun on the shelf. The tech specs said it needed Windows Vista and a dual-core CPU. Is this the first, or have there been other games that have snubbed XP before it? D.

The RB 182 certainly was putting its foot down on the dual carriageway. I was a good 100 yards behind behind but couldn't get closer due to traffic. Gave the 172 Cup driver the thumbs up and got the nod back in response on the other side of the road. :cool: Either off here? D.

Right chaps, I've been given the green light to get a replacement desk-based Mac for one of our designers. I could spend hours tweaking the pros & cons of PC hardware, but I know next to nothing in terms of Mac stuff! Basically, the guy who uses the out-going Mac spends 99% of his time in...

Must have spotted at least 6 different blue 182s there, yesterday. Some FF, some 182 Cups, some with stripes, others without? Anyone on here? I don't think I spotted one CS sticker on the ones I saw.... D.
