    Evo-oops

    Oops indeed.

    CG-lock (seatbelt lock)

    Used mine daily for about 2 years now, can't fault it and it still looks like new. Makes a useful difference on both road and track James.

    Truck hit my car today

    Ouch, nasty. I've had an Irish Blackpool-'bus driving muppet scrape the back of my car before. C*** made it drag on 18 months in an attempt to keep his job, then caved in the day before it went to trial. B*****d. Hope yours gets sorted quickly.

    clio 172 cup steering wheel

    Best going aftermarket. If you don't change it, it will end up looking like this... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=267524

    4 pot issues

    How firmly mounted are the calipers? If as you say all fluids are fresh and fully bled, it might be that the pads are getting knocked away from the disc hence you needing to pump them back into contact. Normally only happens when taking kerb on track, but if your calipers are a new fit...

    What's an instructor worth around a track?

    I use a Sony DCR-HC18E - nothing special but has good image stabilisation and will film anamorphic for true 16:9 widescreen - mounted on one of these headrest mounts... http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htm The session in this clip was 'free' - it was part of an experience day...

    What's an instructor worth around a track?

    "Is an instruction session worth it?" - is an often asked question. This guy was worth s***-loads. Click He responded to areas where I was weak, and communicated well :approve:

    Reving before turning car off

    I used to do this, but stopped, when I exahust + decatted it.

    My new Cup - Cambelt?

    I personally would recommend Rentech in Portsmouth. Run by Mike who used to work for a Renault franchise, he's the only one to have serviced my car in all of its 90k+ miles. If you page back through the dealership section, you'll come across plenty of threads praising him, and I've never...

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    Or...maybe I should have HPI checked it before parting with £10k+ of my own money. He could have told me, maybe he should have told me, but ultimately it's my responsibility to be happy that I'm paying a price relevant to what I'm getting. Countless people in this thread have said you'd need...

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    At what point is the line drawn? I mean, I bumped up a kerb the other day, which has probably knocked my tracking out, but my tyres have yet to show signs of uneven wear. If I sold my car without stating that in the advert or specifically drawing attention to it, I'm being out of order...

    Subways V6 - seriously considering it

    When I sell on my Focus, do I need to get approval on the wording of the advert and price from everyone on here beforehand? If I advertise it at an optomistic price in an effort to get maximum value, does that make me a c**t too? I really don't see what the problem is here. You research a...

    Plasma installation help

    Ours isn't too bad on the neck as we sit about 4 metres away. The leaflet that came with our mounting kit said the centre of the screen shouldn't be more than 15 degrees above your eye line.

    Do you class 1*2s as "hothatches"

    For me, you have to be able to rag the hell out of a hot hatch, and throw it the f*** about. Nothing better. To do that in a 300bhp FWD barge on anything but a track is suicidal.

    Plasma installation help

    We've got ours on our chimney breast. Don't worry about the aching neck thing, you quickly adapt.

    I hit a duck doing 70 (pics inside)

    Just remembered, I collected this en route to a breakfast run once...luckily it didn't punch through. Pulled most of it out, but there were some bits still wrapped in the mesh...I let my cat sort that out.

    I hit a duck doing 70 (pics inside)

    F*** a duck! Lucky, very lucky. I did a fox at 80mph once in my old Fiesta. Pulled the whole front valance under the car. Didn't want to look under the car when I'd stopped in case it was still there with only half a face LOL

    Weight Saving Tips

    No idea yet. It's all boxed up in the attic except the parcel shelf which I sold. I will drag it all into work at some point to see what it adds up to.

    Kia Make a V6.

    Nothing wrong with that car or the motor in my opinion. The Duratec 2.5 in my Mondeo, and the 2.5 in my Omega both made only approx. 170 bhp. The 2.5 V6 in a Jaguar X-Type makes less than that Kia. What's so wrong with that motor?

    Weight Saving Tips

    I put mine on the scales at work and it weighed 12.4 kgs with the front rubber mats included, and they weighed 3 kgs alone. That's not far off the weight of a spare wheel. If you get as far as I have, it makes more of a difference, as you're removing a proportionately larger piece.

    Differences between 197 and the 197 Cup.

    No mention of less sound insualtion? Thought they'd have ripped that out to start with. £15k is a lot is it? I remember when the 172 Cup came out in 02/03 at £13k list price - most thought that was a bargain. £2k increase bearing in mind the size and practicality + technical advances -...

    Joining existing positive battery terminal to new wire.

    Moving the battery's a waste of time if you've got a 5m wheelbase to contend with. ;)

    182 Suspension Failure and Warranty Issues ***UPDATE 22/10/07***

    Harsh ride that. You know what you need to do though...find a reputable Renault specialist - the dealer network is somewhere that I never want to be again.

    Oh sweet, sweet Lord....

    They're nice. I've got a set going on my Cup over the winter. Only problem I can see is getting out if I put it on its roof on track.

    Discs & pads front

    Nothing wrong with CL's as far as I can tell. The squeal is much better though - more piercing.
