Afer being advised by the authorities about a month ago that i should replace my rear tyres i have decided that i should probably order some now!
I currently have Toyo Proxes 195/45/R16 on the front and back. Very good tyre in the dry, but not so good in the wet.
Anyone recommend any others...
Just been down the scrappy looking at gearboxes for my car and ive been told i need my gearbox code.
So went down to the garage where my car is and we searched all over but could not find the code anywhere!
Does anyone know what gearbox would be in my car or where i can find it?
Its a...
Right, after the gearbox going last night... i need a new one.
Not quite sure what happened or why the gearbox went, was just driving along and then all of a sudden there was a kinda whirring noise (like the noise when you crunch a gear almost) and i had no drive.
Took it to a mates garage...
Been a while since i posted any pics, so here goes. Wee bit of an update.
Smoked side repeaters and white mirrors. what do ya reckon?
Anyways, heres the pics (not the best quality, could've done with a tripod i think):
Last pic with a couple of mates (Seat ibiza Cupra & Golf GT...
Basically, is there a way i can get the emissions light to turn off?
Having a De-Cat, its on all the time...
Im guessing you could take out the bulb on the dash or cover it up, but i have read somewhere that you can buy something that fits onto your lambda sensor so that its tricked into...
Ok, the story goes:
Walked out to my car to pick a mate up from town, unlock the car as i walk over to it. attempt to open the drivers door to get in and the handle lifts but the door does not open!
Had to get in through the passenger door.
I can open the drivers door from the inside but not...
Ok, im pretty sure there is something up with my battery...
If i listen to some music at a highish volume for about 10 minutes without the engine running, the battery will be dead!
Im only running a Type R Sub and door speakers.
Pretty sure i need to invest in a new battery, but is there any...
Ok, this has happened to me quite a few times now. I know i need a new battery because it just dis-charges so quickly.
For example, if i dont have my engine running and i have my music running at a low volume and the side lights on the battery will drain within about 10 minutes.
Is there...
Just wondering what this would look like.
Can someone photoshop me some Pearl White Wing Mirror Covers, to match the wheels and everything else.
Cheers
Is this possible?
Using the AI-Net Connector on the back of the unit i can connect one or the other at the moment, is there any way to connect both at the same time?
Like a splitter maybe?
Cheers

It has actually been quite a while since i last posted any pictures of my car... its changed quite a lot since then!
Going for a bit of a theme at the moment, everything being either black or white. Just a few things to do before its finished.
Done all the interior bits white aswell (gearknob...
After much searching, i have come across what looks to be the perfect wheel cleaning tool...

Right, basically as the title says. Im looking for a product to clean my plastics, the edges are starting to go a bit white from polishing....
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Ok, i'm looking for two cleaning products at the moment.
Just not sure where to get them from.
First one is a wheel cleaning wand / drumstick, made from sheepskin. Main reason is for cleaning the inner rim.
VxrMarc used one on his Nurburgring 3 month detail:
Second product im after is a...
Ive been told that in order to fit RS Side Skirts you need a bracket from renault?
Can anyone show me some pics of this or give me a part number?
Cheers
Nick
Right, ive got myself an RS kit to go on my car as im making a replica. i reckon i can fit everything myself (which according to the bodyshop would save me £250). The only thing im not sure about is the side skirts.
Are they bolted on and bonded or just bolted?
Any pics would be appreciated...
Ok, so not exactly pics of the whole car...
Did some colour coding at the weekend and the finish was really dull. Spent a couple hours with a polishing cloth and SRP, the result was quite surprising.
Ok, i dont know what has gone wrong.
I just finished colour coding my bump strips last night and they looked pretty good, however my door handles had a much better 'shine' to them. Looking at it this morning i decided to give the bump strips another coat of lacquer and now they have gone really...
Today i decided to start spraying my speedo surround but in the process of removing it, i managed to scratch up the Dials!
So they now need replacing.... how easy is this to do?
Can you buy the sheet and just swap them over or do you need to replace the whole unit?
Any help appreciated
Nick
Ok, heres the story.
A while back i boght myself a 182 rear bumper off eBay with the thought that i would eventually make a 182 replica.
With the bumper at home and fitted to the car i decided the best person to ring would be Charlie from prospeed. He agreed to make me a 182 replica exhaust...
I am going to be colour coding my side bump strips in the next week or so and i just wondered how long will the finish last?
I was down at a bodyshop this morning asked them if they could do them and they said the finish wont last very long.
Surely, as long as i sand it all down properly...
Basically i would like someone to photoshop my wheels in this pic to white.
Im not sure whether to go for white or get them re-done in the crystal
silver that they were originally..
Many Thanks
Nick
Right i am getting my wheels re-done as i dont like the colour they are anymore.
I can have quite literally any colour i want, but i dunno wht to go for.
I'm tempted with white but im not sure.
any ideas from anyone?
Heres a pic of the car recently with its current wheel colour.
Right, i have decided i would like to purchase some of them Sparco Chrono seats, i think they are gorgeous!
But, what else will i need?
I want them to be able to slide backwards and forwards....

Im looking to find a company to re-trim my interior. Well, all i want doing is the front and rear seats and possibly the gear gaitor.
Im located on the South Coast (Southampton) but am willing to travel.
What can you guys recommend?
I've heard D:Class are good but quite expensive.
Cheers
Found out recently that Renault sell (not sure if they still do) side skirts for the non-sports. Interested in buying a set of these if they they still do them but wondered how much they were?
Cheers
