    Recommend me a wax/sealant....

    Magic, I'll get a pack of some of the cheaper ones to try. I had a Kent Luxury Wash Mitt, but it seems really w4nk quality, so I'm getting a lambswool one this weekend, is any sort adequate?

    Morego Star chips

    As far as I have read on here yes. The burble also makes it sound like yr labouring the engine compared to the lovely smooth OEM exhaust. RS Tuning quote an increase of 30Nm of torque on the 182's original 200Nm. Dont' know about the 172?

    Morego Star chips

    pmurray on here at RSTUNING, Leeds. I am taking my 172 FF over there to get "sorted" after having a S/S cat back on as i've lost some torque low down, but increased top end power. Sooner have the torque, saves me thrashing it all the time.

    Nail in Tyre

    At the end of the day, if you enjoy driving your 182 and give it some beans every now and again, just think of the consequence of said tyre going BANG when you're caning it round a corner? Not worth it IMO. Get it checked out, might not be as bad as you think. I took mine to Selecta-Tyre...

    Just twenty minutes up the road then DARKO. Usually go shopping in Lincoln, Notts is a bit of a b4stard to get to from here. ps....139mph, hope you were on private road/airfield/track and not on the A46 between Lincoln and Newark.:o It is quite a straight bit of road..........I obey the...

    orbisoud exhaust?

    Wasn't knocking the quality, just an observation visually.:o We do welding of a lot of structural steelwork at our place along with your normal stainless stuff, then architectural stainless stuff, so we understand the requirements of different categories of clients. Finishing obviously comes...

    Clio 182..0-60

    Er, that saxondale sort of area? I'm further up, where the A46 meets the A1 and A17. I see a Titanium 182 on my way to work some days on the A617, other day saw a Megane F1! Cool.:cool: I'll keep my eyes open for yr Ti 182 next time I'm down the Forest.:D PS Look out for a Monaco Blue 172...

    orbisoud exhaust?

    Sorry Fred, I was talking to you a few weeks back about the 172 system. Forgot about the 182 topic. I'm not disputing the quality of the BTB welds, I also hear they're very good, they just look like they're in need of a little love. The Orbisoud system looks the cats ass!:clap: ps Fred, i saw...

    Some pics for you all (56K = no)

    Your clio looks like you've left it on a housing estate in Liverpool.:eek: No offence to either Fred or thiefs from Liverpool:rasp:

    orbisoud exhaust?

    I thought Yozzasports was an adaptation, and correct me if i'm wrong Fred, an improvement over the old Supersprint system? Also the welds on the BTB system do look crap. I'm not saying they are, but just a little pickling and polishing wouldn't go amiss for the price you pay for it.

    172 imports

    Its for the Toll Card you put in your windscreen for the French Toll Roads. Obviously, only if you live in France.:o

    From a 172 to a 68

    Buying Honda/Toyota is one of the most sensible things anyone could do to achieve completely hassle free motoring.:approve: I had an Accord Sport 4dr in Red. It was easily the most chilled out car I could imagine. Used to hit the limiter all the time, it was soooooo smooth. Did 55k miles in it...

    Bizarre... Fly by wire electronic throttle isn't it? :S Someone on here will be able to point you in the right direction. You're not having a very pleasant ownership are you? Edit: Doh! Mike@Rentech beat me to it, just seen his post appear before mine

    Trophy in Morrisons?!?

    Re: Red Trophy in Morrisons?!? Ok ok, I know....stating the obvious! I think the reg plate is something like T3 DDE? IIRC, think the same guy/girl used to have an inferno 182.

    Camera settings.

    Aah....a man who knows what he's talkin about. Rear curtain sync.....that's what its called. Cracking technique, again all down to trial and error though for that ELUSIVE shot. Best of luck lads.

    Trophy in Morrisons?!?

    itg panel filter

    Fitted mine a couple of months back. Doesn't make much difference sonically. Mine went better top end, high revs - engine felt a bit freer.

    172cup gone 225cup here

    Nice. Just what I'd like next. Maybe the 5 door version, then I'd be able to justify the purchase to the missus. We've got a micra and a 172 at the moment. Not big cars to have with a young family. 225 bhp aswell eh? Mmmmm........ Looks magic meggerman.
