    Mintex Rear Discs Dont Fit!

    Are they not 'fitting' due to the simple mistake I made in the following thread? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?710095-Help-required-please-guys-182-rear-discs-amp-pads-(inc-pics) ​D.

    Changing shocks (What tools?)

    Even a long arm/breaker bar couldn't undo the top nuts on my front suspension. I had to get an air-gun on them. Any yep, they were drowned in WD-40 beforehand too. ​D.

    Turini centre cap question?

    Apologies if this has been covered before, but does the small plastic Renault centre-cap off the Turinis fit the standard 182 alloy? If so, I need to get four black ones :) Cheers, ​D.

    Rise of the Triad

    Might be worth nabbing the demo m8, if one gets released. But it is really that bad. I might stick at it for the completionist side of me - but I doubt it. ​D.

    Rise of the Triad

    Seriously guys - save your money from this donkey's wang of an FPS. It's cheap - £11.99 on Steam, but honestly, it's not even worth that. I purchased this really on the whim of nostalgia, having some good memories of the completely chaotic and insane original game that Apogee released all those...

    Laptop advice please

    I'd increase the budget slightly and go for this:- 2GB less memory than the Acer, but you won't notice that with what you're doing. And besides, memory is currently cheap for what you get. Oh, and it's got Win7 on it, but with the 'option' to upgrade to Win8. Which you won't do, unless you want...

    New country! New whip! (Jap content)

    Sounds great! At least the three of you are on a solid footing in terms of income. I'm sure that your parents will happily support you in the meantime anyway! Definitely one of the places I want to visit. So tantalising close to the vastness of the Pacific for me too. Dweamy..... :) D.

    Mazda Performance Scone. Mazda 3 MPS Project Log

    Ah - cheers. Never even think of that - especially as the Evo is cheaper to tax than the 182..... :cool: Besides, it's only half the price of one of Scone's graphics cards anyway - and he swaps them out every 2 weeks. D.

    Intrigued! What's that? Good choice on the Mazda too! ​D.

    Mintex Rear Discs Dont Fit!

    G 172 might have a better idea? ​I wasn't aware that Mintex even did rear discs for the 182. Could be an incorrect model listing? I just used Renault OEM when I replaced mine last Friday - especially as the rear does little in the way of stopping the car anyway. D.

    Ethernet Cable and Armoured Cable

    If it's running outside - I'd be putting the network cable through a plastic conduit anyway. Much cheaper if you have to replace the cable again in the future. ​D.

    Best flight simulator for PC ?

    That's when a game was a true 'investment' in your time and skill though! :) Such games are so few are far between these days 1- and pretty much non-existent on the console. Sure you can fluke 8 headshots on the run in a COD game - but it takes true ability and skill to launch, fly, carry out...

    Best flight simulator for PC ?

    DCS World is free to play via Steam. Proper heavyweight game though - definitely not for beginners anyway! http://store.steampowered.com/app/223750/ ​D.

    172 cup rear brakes!

    This. I ordered one from G 172 along with the replacement discs (with bearings) - as my offside rear started to drone and got hot in a matter of days. When I stripped the droning side, the washer was the wrong way around (probably my fault from the previous swap over, tbh). The washer has two...

    New to CS, just bought 172 Cup

    Nice upgrades - certainly looks like a decent one! Don't forgot in this recent rainy weather, you don't have ABS. ;) ​D.

    Horrible shaking/vibrating steering wheel at speed.

    James - another thing to check that can add vibration up front, is if your CV boot-clips have come loose at some point? In doing so, it can splatter CV grease onto the inside of the rim in an uneven pattern and create 'vibration' as the wheel rotates. Over the weekend, I had all the wheels off...

    Dead Island

    I had very similar issues on the original game. I remember spending several hours one Saturday afternoon with two other players who were pretty good. The instant they left the game, the progressed we made hadn't been 'saved' and it was all virginal territory again. As I said before, Dead Island...

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    It wasn't missing m8 - but it was the wrong way around - tapered-side out towards the disc. I binned the old one and swapped it for the new one you sent me - fitting it the right way around this time. I'm glad I ordered one now. :) The nearside rear was fine and pointing the correct way...

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    I thought there was a space between the hub and the disc and then a washer between the disc and the nut? Cheers, ​D.

    Help required please guys - 182 rear discs & pads (inc. pics)

    Just fitting new rear pads and discs and for the life of me I cannot get the bolts to line up when the spacer between the disc and hub is in place. I believe that these spacers are vital for extending the life of bearings themselves. But if I left them off, the bolts would line up perfectly...

    Horrible shaking/vibrating steering wheel at speed.

    Probably is this m8. I had my wheels powder-coated recently and got the tyres refitted and balanced. Got on the motorway the following day and between 50-70mph was just horrible. If I pinched the steering wheel with my thumb and fore-finger, my other three fingers were vibrating like mad from...

    reasonable expectations for a sub 2k 182

    I don't see the issue. Have you seen how many standard hot hatches and performance hatches/saloons come with twin pipes, these days? The 182's were ahead of their game! :cool: D.

    Chromebook, Tablet or Laptop?

    Until you said photo/video editing, I would have considered a tablet or Chromebook. In that case, I would still go for a full blown laptop - ideally nab one that has a Windows 7 downgrade path (while they are still available) as you WILL smash your new device to pieces in total frustration with...
