    My Dad now owns a 182

    He had it then. Nice one Mike.

    Are braided brake hoses really worth it ? And where to get them?

    :approve: Should be the first brake mod you do.

    From power to manual steering on my 172 Cup, the verdict...

    From a dCi I think. Wouldn't say it's a good idea for a daily driver so far, but I am a PAS pansy.

    From power to manual steering on my 172 Cup, the verdict...

    F***ing brilliant! I was hoping some kind of an improvement, but the feel I'm now getting through the wheel is sublime. As the tyres just push past their limit and into understeer, it feels like I've got a chunk of tyre rubber in each hand and I can feel it slipping and tearing across the...

    Amateur. Is this any use to you?

    That's a great one.

    Insane Tripod Pic...

    This was probably at about 15mph, in 1st, and I might have had my pathetic handbrake on.

    Interesting Oil Facts #2

    What's best for my continually abused but so far reliable 99k mile Cup?

    GAP insurence

    LOL...you're hoping it gets stolen then?

    The best rims yet surely

    Very cool, very old wheel :approve:

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    Yep. Which is all any of us have to go on when talking about car performance after all.

    How can you tell if your tripoding?

    I can't stop mine doing it since I've started left foot braking. Weight over the front, turn in, bingo. I can really honestly say I've never ever felt it though. I can't understand what everyone says they can feel?

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    Sadly very little. As before passenger seat and airbag next...but apart from that there's not a great deal that the car doesn't need. Smaller battery maybe, lighter suspension possibly, but after that I'll be adding weight again with a cage :(

    Insane Tripod Pic...

    LOL at thinking that MUST be a photoshop...it's only up about 4-5 inches.

    Warranty/Dealer Problems.. help.

    Your having to pay for this work and the warranty cover's not the main issue here KDF, they are plainly in breach of their contract with you. If they were not in breach of contract then you wouldn't be having these conversations with them as there would be no fault that needed fixing!!! You...

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    The pump still needs turning so it will drain some...just not as much as when it's under full load.

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    It's hydraulic on the Renault Sport Clios, electric on everything else. The whole rack, hydraulic fluid resevoir, pump, and associated pipes/tubes etc. all weighed approx. 20-25kgs. Manual one? Maybe 10-15 kgs? So a 10 kgs gain in therory - would up my power to weight to 192/ton...add...

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    Yep, mine's now gone. Picking it up tomorrow once everything's been realigned again. 1-2 bhp will be disappointing!
  20. Tighten My Nuts

    How much bhp is needed to run the power steering?

    What do we reckon? I've heard 2-3 bhp, and also someone claiming 8-10 bhp. I'm going to get my car on the rollers soon to see for sure...any predicitons?

    Cummuting in your 1*2/197

    I got my 172 Cup with 0 miles on it, and after 4 years of commuting it's now got 99,500 miles on it - 60 miles per day commuting and a lot of pure leisure driving. Very capable, cheap to run, fun to drive, motorway/back road commuting tool. Now mine's retired to a life of track abuse, if I...

    My Cup gets the interior it deserves at last.

    The odd thing will go, not surprising really after 99,500 miles of abuse.

    My Cup gets the interior it deserves at last.

    Mike explained it in detail to me...no idea what he said though. Like the acoustic valve IIRC, it does something, but the ultimate functioning of the car isn't affected without it.

    My Cup gets the interior it deserves at last.

    To get comfortable with leg reach to the pedals, at 6ft 1in without a spacer the wheel's too far away. I'll find out properly as soon as I get it all back. I'm seriously considering doing that, with a well worded letter. With all this and a few technique and line changes since I was...
