    ABS sensors, talk to me...

    I need a pair of front 182 ABS sensors. Euro car parts have some Bosch ones that are about £19 each with discount. Am I wasting my time? Should I buy genuine? Last time I looked they were £100+ so I don’t really want to do that...

    172 cup front shocks on phase 1

    Have you replaced the rear shocks and springs too? Or just the fronts? Stiffer new fronts and old saggy rears (!) will give you pony handling traits.

    Advise buying a second hand car form a dealer

    If the belt is worrying you, ask for the money off instead and get it done yourself. When I was selling cars that line was music to my ears! No more warranty on the cambelt for the dealer! Lol

    Advise buying a second hand car form a dealer

    You’ve done the deal. How would you feel if he rang you up tomorrow and said he’s thought about it and he actually wants another £150? You’d be pissed. You made a deal, you shook on it, you deposited £500 as you were happy with the deal you got. To try and renegotiate now would be a bit of a...

    Riggers' Primera P10 trackcar

    I love these, never had a go on one though. My mate had one with a massive cone filter and it absolutely howled at full chat. He smashed it up before I got a go in it though.

    Seeing 1990's cars on the roads nowadays....

    I'm led to believe that if (When?) the diff blows up, you can't get a replacement. From anywhere...?

    Mine's an 850R. Which from a technical and physical point of view is the better car, but the T5-R is the one the Volvo fan boys want.

    It wasn't when I bought it but it is now. Just waiting on the £560 (!!!) custome built stainless OE replica exhaust to arrive then it's totally standard. :)

    I only have a few from the seller from when I was trying to buy it. It's currently on a ramp, we put the engine back together last night actually..

    No way. I’m not driving it on the motorway, it will get stone chips! Lol

    My Monaco 172. Five years in the making...

    The buyer for this has now pulled out due to unforeseen circumstances. A shame but it’s now mot’d (as of tomorrow) and ready so it will be a shame not to use it this summer and get along to a few local car meets! ?

    Autoglym Lifeshine?

    Hold on, they never asked for it. The dealership have no right to stick add ons in to the deal without telling the customer! Just because the salesman/BM is a lazy t**t and can’t be bothered to up sell, they have no right to do that. Proper underhand!

    Autoglym Lifeshine?

    I’d be going mental. They have stuffed a £400 product in to your mum and not told her, just so they can get more commission. Tell them to f**k off. I have an abundance of lifeshine products that I am willing to post to you FOC, just cover the postage. It will take you half a day tops to do...

    I have half a litre of paint left over from the respray Ant. Remind me when you collect it and you can have it to do the spoiler. Should be a spot on match then.

    My Monaco 172. Five years in the making...

    So, I bought this roughly 5 years ago. It wouldn’t run as the dephaser was so knackered, it had been keyed down one side, looked proper sorry for itself. BUT it was really straight, never had an accident, subframe had never been off, no rust, low miles at 55k, and I knew I could make it lovely...

    Renatec Bristol - avoid.

    I share a unit with an extremely experienced and capable Renault specialist. He is very well known on the trophy forum. In fact there’s 2 Trophy’s booked in this weekend. If you want his details, i’ll Happily pass them on.

    Renatec Bristol - avoid.

    My dads mate had his 182 maintained by them for years, despite me telling him otherwise... Some of the bodges on it were beyond comical. And they fitted a new UCH to it and didn’t configure the central locking, auto lights, cruise control etc and told him that’s how they come.... Shower of...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Gus my man, I use this (horrible horrible stuff!) to get caked brake dust off. I wouldn’t use it regularly and I only use it to get my wheels clean and then because I stay on top of them, I never need it again. Don’t do it on your mums finest block paving either, it has a habit of burning the...
