It's awful if you like torrents. AWFUL. Can only DL past 11pm.

Personally I'd be going for a rebuild over another box. You're getting an essentially new box, as opposed to one off of a "30k car" that's been abused for 29,999 of those miles.

Very nice mate, welcome to the club.

40mm Apex for you car: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=555670343 60mm Apex for your car: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=555670344 The site's a little slow at the moment, but they're the correct springs.

Re: ph1 project take 2 Love this car and the care it's given. Wheels should have gone silver though, fact ;)

Even I'll admit it wasn't quite the same without you, now sign back up, you know it's worth it. ;) I actually really like it, I gave away a light green one two years ago, 4 speed too. Must confess, I've never loved driving something as much as I did that little thing.

I'll be coming along to this, sorry I didn't organise it with you mate or at least help out more, I've been silly busy lately and then on holiday, I'll make sure I drag a few other members along to make up for it. :)

Re: Jon's MK1 172 project thread Re: Missing bolts... don't worry about it too much, mine's not exactly held together at all point either. On the bright side, Fred and Danny both seem to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of what they are, so if you ever want replacements, just ask them (or...

I'm glad, can't say I noticed that motor, I was probably having too much fun ;) I've PM'd you about a restaurant though... Cheers mate, it's about the only thing I'm jealous of you northern lot for, awesome roads nice and close. :rasp:

Re: Jon's MK1 172 project thread Good work, I'm liking the attention to detail with the photo taking. Gray, until you've seen me work, you can't judge. ;)

Brilliant shots, love it. Exactly how I'd have a 182.

Can't believe I was that close to the forearms tbh! What was your old man driving? Hope I didn't upset the locals ;)

Not sure if SRS? I wasn't even sure where exactly in the country you were though mate!!! When art thou down south? Yes, yes it is. :) Are you nearby then mate? Details are in a post a few up mate. Yeah mate we did, lovely! Cinder toffee ice cream, awesome.

100% agree with the above, but also, check the two bolts that bolt the balljoint to the lower wishbone, one of two things could have happened: 1) They've come loose 2) Someone's used a 10mm balljoint when it's a 12mm, eventually these work loose and knock. Other than these two, if it's...

The lodges are near the little village that is Greystoke, really nice and pretty location. Yeah Kirkstone Pass is amazing, it was great to drive tbh, a little hairy at times, but great. Ullswater is nice, it's quite difficult to walk along though, we just jumped out and wandered around a bit...

If you want low, then 60mm apex do as you wish. No need for shocks or anything, I ran my non sport like that for over a year with no issues. Eibach are a better ride, but only go as low as sportlines, the apex are just fine though IMO.

Cheers mate, I've got the f1's already, in the garage with tyres, they're just not together yet. One day this month I'll get it done.

Tethering is good news, doesn't really change much for me though.

Ok, well this isn't going to get any better is it.

Funnily enough the dopey tart doesn't want me to put the silver f1's on! They are going on, within 1 month, I promise. Thanks, RE:MPG It was the average of the entire trip, honestly. You have to remember that is two 350 motorway trips included.

Re: Jon's MK1 172 project thread ...

I went for the superior lodge, which means a much larger lodge, with better furniture and a view. There are four options: Standard Superior VIP (Same as standard but with a hot tub) Superior VIP (Same as superior with a hot tub). Mine was 7 nights and was £460 I'll update the OP tomorrow...

Re: Jon's MK1 172 project thread Looks like a good project, nice to see the work being done at home etc. If you ever need anything/help when you're down working on it, don't be afraid to ask.

Was it you I spoke to about them before? Really lovely accommodation. Cheers mate, you definitely need to get up there, it really lets you use the car properly. It's a bit far for a day trip though ;)

Thanks Highlander (and you, Island Dan).

I normally love them, but I'm not so keen on that.

The sun's out again, which means only one thing - The Clio becomes a road trip pony and off I (we) go. That time of year arrived that see's me and the GF heading off to the Lake District, and once again, you get the little picture write up. :o An early start, 4:30 a.m. to be precise, and...

Nice work there mate, doing wheels is all about having patience. Keep it up

Very, very tidy.
