Nope, it's a straight swap.

I hate euro, gets stronger every day.

Yep, got the buimper, just needs spraying

Awesome!!!!! I <3 Blue Peter

Cup driver = pikey ;)

Can anyone get my radio code using my reg number? Tried getting hold of matt black, but hasn't replied and it's driving me crazy!!

Agreed, your a swine for getting that. My 306 rallye costs more, with more miles.

Manufacturers are dumping the spare for economy (mpg) and cost reasons, and in some cases due to runflats. As said before, tyre weld does f all if you get sidewall damage, my spare gets me home, the fella's with tyre weld are stuck at the roadside.

Love beetles, here's my dad's old one.

He reminds me that life is for living:rasp:

Exactly. Get sidewall damage and you're stranded.

Why??

Ok, cheers. One came out without me realising, luckily found it in my tool bag! Back it goes on tomorrow.

When removing the standard seats there are plastic washers between the original subframe and the base of the car. Are these important/required, or can they be removed to give a slightly lower seat position. Cheers

Nice post!

Jack Sparrow edition?

Spray foam is crap, any sidewall damage and it doesn't work.

Do you mean tarmac:o Please tell me you got a proper jack sorted.

Paul, you are one strange dude. I think it's now getting to the point where people can't even respect the level of work, as your going too far. FFS, spraying the inside of your wheels, and painting the caliper edge? Way over the top.

Of course, it's horses for courses. Bit overkill for someone thats mainly going to do road miles and very few track days.

Higher insurance.

I had a 182cup, but I was changing seats, and I hate xenons, so wasn't losing anything. If keeping it standard, the standard 182 interior is nicer. Just go for the most mechanically sound 182/172 you can get in budget.

Depends what you're after. You can get a lower mileage cup for the same money, as it's less desirable. Has air con, abs, etc so not exactly bare bones.

I wouldn't use the car. The mileage doesn't matter, the rubber wears due to exposure to air/moisture, so if you left a brand new car untouched for seven years it could still snap the first time you started it. Why take the risk?

The left hand lever adjusts the seat height on the drivers side. Lovely car, great colour. The RX8's a great car, but the fuel costs are just too high given the performance

4.5-5k, but it is a very slow market, be prepared to wait.

Why not get another ph1? Similar weight to the cup, but you get abs. Ph1 + coilovvers would be about the same price as a cup, and probably be more fun.

Insurance is a declaration of truth, not telling them means your giving them a way to refuse a pay out. Plus, if you were unlucky enough to get pulled over by an officer who notices your car's lowered, they can check within 5 mins if you've insured the mods. If not, no insurance = 6 points on...

Up to a point that true, but the ability to steer and brake hard is an advantage on the road. We shouldn't ever get into the situation, but it's nice to have the safety net there.
