Never really been interested in JDM stuff apart from the original Skyline GTR, but I wouldn't mind owning that, well nice!

Even if you kept quiet at CSS about it, i'm sure your two mates will drop you in it, so we all know to make you the centre of attention and pour booze down your neck until you go wrong. :D Your 21st is the big one mate, after that 30 is the next one anyone will care about.

Oh dear, i'd have kept that quiet if I was you. lol

We could all go out for dinner? Or we can all sneak in disposable BBQs and flash Rons warrant card if anyone gets arsey. :cool:

Speed holes.

I'll be sure and fill my belly up with food before I start drinking this year, boozing on an empty stomach didn't go too well for me last year.

Cool, I was worried a load of lads with cars full of beer wouldn't go down too well with families camping, if we're in a separate field then we should be able to have a good piss up, as long as we don't make too much noise.

Would be good if we could get this field, then we'd be away from all the caravaner's and semi permanent residents.

The only reason I fitted powerflex arb bushes was because the subframe was coming off for something else, so it seemed like a good idea to upgrade while it was sat there on the floor. No real change in the car at all, but then I wasn't expecting any as they're only arb bushes, the engine mounts...

.

Then no one would learn how to do anything for themselves. I knew nothing about colour coding or spraying parts before I sprayed a few bits on mine, but I bought some wet & dry sand paper, some plastic primer, a can of paint and some lacquer. I then read everything I could about how to do it...

Not to sure on price tbh, but i've had 182cup dampers on my 172 for years.

Have you got the tools to take the rear dampers off and have a good look at them? Sounds like they're failing/leaking, i'd take them off and compress them by hand to see if they're knackered, if they are it's a phone call to Renault for some new ones. When mine went the back end would jump...

Have you checked the backbox isn't knocking off the heat shield? If your rear dampers are screwed the back end normally skips and jumps over bumps, plus it tends to step out a lot easier round corners.

Twisted dog bone used on PH2 172/182. Straight dogbone mount used on PH1 172.

172's & 182's have a twisted dogbone mount, so if you're ordering bushes that's what you want.

Done, voted for the Ford Taurus.

10th level awesomeness!!!! Love the battle scared Cortina.

Cheers for the offer mate, but I think i''ll eventually go down the MK2 Cortina route, a rolling project with MOT can be had for reasonable money, plus I don't have anywhere to store a non running project atm.

I'm sorry to say i've given up on having a Mini project in the future, even rusted shells are fetching a grand ffs, i'll have to learn mechanics on something else.

You only need a sat nav once you get close to the M5, most of it is a piece of piss.

I'll give you a lift in the dog kennel if you want mate? We'll probably end up in the pub for a pint and a plate of food afterwards anyway, shame to miss out on a day out with the lads.

Well those would be the things to check, something's obviously bent when you hit the curb, the only way you'll know is to get it on a lift and have a look.

Have you checked the subframe, wishbones or tie rods aren't bent?

He's cleaned the windscreen.

STI's in blue yes, Wagons in blue no.

Sod off it's cool as f*ck!!! The colours I want are black, failing that red, then silver and lastly blue, don't like blue Imprezas.

SH*T IN A BUCKET!!!! Amazing.

Yes they're all in this thread with reviews and photos of their finished parts. ;)

No word of a lie, there's actually a gravel trap in the passenger foot well atm, when I walk the dog down the park, my wellies and his leather football pick up all loads of small stones off the carpark. lol
