    Anyone want a laugh?

    I put a screwdriver through the wiring loom of my DCI100 Clio when fitting the sound system! The dealer replaced the full loom from the bonnet to the fuse box under warranty!

    Fitting 182 engine into my Flame Red 172

    Yep, just need to change the breather bit on the top of the rocker cover where the manifold sits on. But I'd just use the 182 inlet!

    Fitting 182 engine into my Flame Red 172

    It will fit, you just need to exchange the inlet into the top of the rocker cover. Although when I blew up my 172 engine I fitted a 182 engine directly. Didn't change inlet manifold. You just need a longer pipe to reach the charcoal can, but this should come with the engine.

    182 engine oil

    5w50 is for engines running extremely hot on the track (The 50 is the viscosity when warm) so it will stay thicker at the warmer temperatures. 5w40 is better for road/the odd track day!

    182 engine oil

    5w40 Make sure it's fully synthetic! Try Silkolene pro 5w40 or something similar! Don't go near halfords!

    bit of polish???????

    Yea, just not going to be quite as expensive, but there won't be a huge lot in it. I'll be very surprised if they pay to fix it as it's well over 50% of the price of the car to fix?!

    bit of polish???????

    only part that was dearer was the front bumper. Everything else is the same. And I didnt have to replace the wing. Mine needed 2 xenon headlights tho. But if you look at my post properly I did a price for the parts (I can c from the photo) need replaced!

    Changing Aux Belt, Tensioner and Pulley. Easy??

    No special tools needed but it is a curse! Very little room to move in there!

    best way to fit a viper kit? connected CAf or not?

    Yea suppose u do have a point. Depends on how/where it's gonna be driven. CAF could act as a large straw if you drive through a flood and it's directly fitted to filter!

    best way to fit a viper kit? connected CAf or not?

    They've designed it to be connected directly for a reason!!

    MB Performance Short Shifter Review

    How is it much better than the B&M? Looks the same to me! I take it you've used both shifters so can make an informed opinion?
