I think it was a 54 plate Iceburg 182. Nottingham Rd, Eastwood 2pm You had your girlfriend in the passanger seat. Car was looking proper shiny!! Puts mine to shame.

When I fitted my rear OMP Strut Brace I noticed the difference straight away, I have no back seats so the back always felt a bit soft, the first 90 degree bend I through it in to told me it was money well spent. It depends on how you drive as to wheather you will notice any difference, if you...

The money you will make on breaking it for parts will be a decent amount, F4R engines change hands for £500 - £1000 depending on condition, miles etc On the other hand the money you will loose on future insurance premiums will be alot more than the loss you will incure on breaking. Its just...

The reason I have a standard looking car is beacause most people on the roads think its just a normal clio 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 etc. Its had a few bits done to it, Springs, Brakes, Zorst, Inlets Matched, rear seats gone, and a rear strut brace, so its a fair bit quicker than standard. Ive recently...

Sorry, Diddn't get too good a look at him, really nice car!

Rare as rocking horse sh1t, never seen one before. Thought it was a cup at first but it had all the R27 stckers on it. Being driven by a middle aged man, flashed you but got blanked, I was in my Iceberg Silver 172. Spotted between 2:30 & 3:00pm

TBH I diddn't even consider Renault as I'm so use to being ripped off, there not that good in Nottingham. I'll ring em for a laugh!

That seems more like it, I'll try them in the morning aswell. Cheers mate.

I know what you mean, but some places' take the p1ss with there prices!

It does appear that it would be cheaper to buy those discs and get separate bearings and ABS rings. Ive dona a bit of a search and it does seem that people buy generic discs from anywhere as the back only do 25% of the brakeing.

Cheers mate. Ive checked that site and it says 2.0 16v rear discs are £8.97+VAT! That cant be right, I'll ring them in the morning.

I was gonna buy some brakes from ebay Mintex rear discs with Bearings, abs rings and mintex pads £95 plus £12 postage, Bargin I thought. "THE MOTORIST CAR PARTS WAREHOUSE" (company Name) I rang them up to confirm the price and a guy answered the phone with a "yeah", this diddn't fill me with...

Thats fu*king Brilliant! I've never laughed so much. So sh1t it's almost cool!

Yep, thats how Omex built it. I think its getting a CAF at some point.

TBH its not easy to tell that its throttle bodied, cf airbox covers them up.

Here are my efforts. There on the original thread but sod it, I thought I'd put up here aswell.

Im lazy.

Ive seen alot of people do it the other way round, black inlets with silver writing. I prefer it this way. Personal taste and all that.

Spent half an hour bending over the engine, my back is ruined now. Been meaning to do this for weeks, after seeing everyones mint cars at the Matlock meet yesterday it made me want to do something to mine.

Is that the splitter off a 197?

Looks fine mate, different to all the other Celicas out there. Better to be a bit different than a sheep that looks like everyone else.

If you changed sizes then it probably would be classed as a cosmetic mod, I'm talking about brand of tyres intead of size, unless wider tyres were an option when the car was new, even factory options need to be declared, they just wont replace them if the car gets written off. I had a golf...

Ive got a GDI (Piper) Stealth and when I told my insurers they asked me "does it change the cosmetic appearance of the car" i.e. does it stick out the back. No it sits in the same position as the original. To which they answered "its not classed as a modification" Just make sure you tell the...

Dont think my German Shepard would be very happy lying on that.

Get them out! In my PH2 the back seats with the bar weighed 20 kilos, car feels much lighter now. I put some carpet down and fitted an OMP rear strut brace. When I put them back in for MOT time the car feels like Sh1t. The noise inside will increase, but it depends on how loud your exhaust is.

When my esp & abs lights were on it was a knackered abs sensor, changed it and all is well now.

Nice one, I'll ring tommorrow about a price on those discs.
