    My Ph2 1.2 sport has had it :(

    You could buy two new cars for that price... Swap the hazard switch, charge the battery, make sure the alternator is working.. if that's all still no good, you might have a drain somewhere drinking your amps. Good luck finding that...! Where do you live..? (roxby renault = southampton...

    Track wheels & Tyres

    Smaller wheels = less weight. Better handling.. etc etc. Literally almost no down-sides. ^ This, Adam. Best size as it's OEM size and being a very popular size, rubber is CHEEP !

    trouble linking photobucket

    As Revels says - you need the one that looks like If you end up with that link instead somehow, just literally type at each end of it. *Edit: You did it as I typed... well done :clap:

    182 hunt so frustrating

    Why do you want to swap? It's the same car essentially, you'll be a few grand down and that's about it. Genuine question btw :)

    Hi everyone, ph1 172 delivered tommrow

    Welcome ! Non runner eh ? What's the plan (aside the obvious making it work again..) Sign up .. will be the best £12 you spend this year ;)

    wwhos ppl had good prices off this year

    This still open ?! Ring some companies and find out. No two people will have the same price. www.havanainsurance.co.uk/bestcashprice offer a CS discount IIRC.

    ideas help?

    If all else fails - buy another Subaru :o

    ideas help?

    Ref: the drop ? No idea. Measure the gap you have, and try that :rasp: Other questions... in the first post - I've answered all that are relevant ;)

    passive sub wiring help?

    Thinking about it - you say passive ? Passive means it gets the power from an external source... that's the amp's job. The power goes through the speaker wire moving the cone. Hopefully someone with half a clue will confirm this. [I hope I've redeemed myself here :o]
  18. TheEvilGiraffe

    ideas help?

    I don't think the ph1 suits eyebrows at all :S Someone (BREMBO?) had a black ph2 which was themed like a bumblebee haha.. yellow bits here and there... low and sleepy looking thing with rather unique eyelids.. it looked good as the whole thing worked.

    passive sub wiring help?

    [Been a long week ;) I might have to get my coat...] Hmm good point. You're missing either sound input or power if that is the only connection on the sub !? Is there a phono connection for sound somewhere else on it..? Is there no manual with this thing ?

    passive sub wiring help?

    Those wires are only transmitting noise. There's no danger of anything bursting into flames there (unless something's SERIOUSLY wrong hahaha!) .. the larger the wire, the less resistance there'll be meaning better noise (essentially... :o)

    ideas help?

    Tints look awful IMO especially on small dark cars as it will look like a van unless they're mega subtle. Eyelids ? SRS ?! It's not 1997 any more dude... Wheels - Silver wheels on a dark car look fantastic. 14's will need a hell of a drop to look good. Go with some mint OEM 15" 5-spokes or...

    passive sub wiring help?

    Not sure if SRS ? There's a red and a white connection on your sub. There's a red and a white connection on the amp labelled <-- SUBWOOFER --> Join the dots ! Gauge - thicker the better. I'd go for something at least 1mm dia cable (that's the core, not the plastic outer BTW).

    first attempt at light painting.

    Well use it and learn something FFS :rasp: I got my first SLR and had literally zero idea what anything did. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet, I think I dun alright learnin myself how to use it ;)

    first attempt at light painting.

    Shifty - I think you need to be a bit more obvious with your tops of the flames, there's too much of a curve if you see what I mean. Also, you've hosted those pics on CS. When you add an image from FB/Flickr etc, untick the stupid box that makes it an attachment and it'll be full size in...

    Clio sport insurance

    They're hideously expensive cars to insure at the moment, even more so if you're a young male. Jjay (he's about 20 I think) on here did some comparison sites for a laugh - £13k for a 172, £3k for a V6. £55k for an Impreza hahahaha. There's nothing you can really do to get it to a nice...

    Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? You sound like you dont known the first thing about looking after a car... In all seriousness take it to Danny's place or fred@btm. Both very well thought of traders on here.
