they bulge a bit but look good still, laine wont mind the picture pilfering I'm sure ;)

I have used R888's in wet and dry and they perform well in both, on track they are great in the wet once upto temp :) I have a few more track days left in them at the mo but I have a partworn set of RSR's to go on next in the shed and from what I have heard they are an excellent tyre and the...

Turini, although the sparco ones are a bit of a curve ball, not seen them before and they do look good, could be a nice break from the norm :)

I have a 172 with engine and box I am killing soon, would let it go for right price, pretty sure only difference is 182 exhaust mani and ecu aint it which you have? bung up the gearbox speedo drive output and your away ;)

agree with Luke, that pic is spot on Christopher :)

plenty to choose from and all in hi res when needed :)

Love this pic, 4x clio of doom! :)

Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus i dont doubt paul has done a good job etc etc, but imo always always get at least a second opinion and ideally borrow/buy a comp tester and do it yourself. ;)

just do it, keep all standard bits, swap back come sale time and sell the turbo bits on for similar money to what you paid, that would be my plan.

love the nose down stance :)

Friend of mine has removed the ABS from his clipsort transplant thats in a mark 1 clio the car has a bias valve so no comments about removing fuse being dangerous yada yada, the cars braking system is fine, its mark 1 spec and works perfectly, its just the mark 2 loom/ecu wants to see ABS that...

again Daz, no chance ;) I didn't like them, now I do!lol!i'm so indecisive ;)

Digital SLR, can be had for not much cash now on the bay, I sourced an old Canon (I prefer Canon, others disagree) 350D for £90 in box with kit lens and spares. nowt special but does the job and massively better than any PAS or cameraphone shite ;)

Mad isn't it, I quite like it tbh, parts all still rocking round like little boats on the same sea, going from port to port my analogies can get a bit weird ;)

get a decent camera ................ :rasp: nice motor

15" is recommended for track really, more feel, less unsprung weight and greater/cheap tyre choice. no issues with fitment provided brakes are standard diameter and the offset/pdc etc of the wheel is correct. theres loads of 172/182's on here on 15's, mine included. never heard that about...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He smash the bonnet in where there space with a hammer and then fit a dirty great bonnet scoop.......take that silhouette rule, kapow!

welcome chap and nice RB :-) lovely and standard!

cheers Dan

why would you need that? gearbox oil cooler? bit overkill really, it wont save the box, its a Renault it'll go bang anyway ;)

I'm sure i'm going to love the reliability of the 182, looking forward to getting it on the road and the current 172 has behaved very well over last 2 years the turbo however is the same issue as above, sooooooo addictive when it runs but 15k in nearly 6 years and still monstered 13...

lol, cheers chap! currently all credit is to Luke anyway, its still as is from when he sold it to me ;)

Tim. - it is wonky, blame Luke for the rush job slapping them on when he took his personal plate off ;) its on the list of to do's as I think i'm going to get some new plates anyway :) Akay - I have used L.W Smart in Alfreton for my bodywork, they were based in Alfreton but had a nasty fire...

not keen on the rims, turinis would look spot on ;) car looks clean and pretty sure those reclining sparcos are the ones I have in my mk1, pretty comfy seats but not particularly good at holding me in place!lol!

I would definitely make a plan to powdercoat the whole front suspension/subframe assembly chap if you want it mint come summer next year, mines still ditched from that escapade but I've kind of drifted from the keep it mint to the track the hell out of it and see what goes pop! lol!

Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus i'd recomp test it a few times to be sure, and do a leakdown to check rings before making a decision. if bottom end is healthy, as Whiteley says, slap a second hand turbo on it for cheap option or hybrid it.

as above, i'd avoid tbh

tidy phase 1 chap i'd stick to light track setup, so along the lines your on now and perhaps some fully reversible stripping, so rear seats/spare wheel etc etc, all stuff you can replace to not ruin a solid phase 1 :)

nice buy chap, but do check if belts have been done, if they need doing don't risk putting it off ;)

I took the turbo to the ace café one winter, it snowed on way home and obviously salt all over. this was the only run out in winter I have ever done in it and I joke not when I say all my freshly painted subframe/wishbones/driveshafts etc etc got absolutely ruined...............thankfully it was...
