    Does anyone own 2 Clio's?

    A standard 182 that appears to have been lowered. No front lip spoiler, non-Cup rear spoiler, silver alloys - not anthracite. :) D.

    My Dads '89 XJS V12 Convertible

    Couldn't agree more. Realistically, the sentimental value of this will be much more than the monetary value of the car. If it was a nail, there would be little point keeping it, but this appears to be almost concours. If that had been my dad's car - it would have taken a LOT for me to sell...

    Cool sounding old Renault 21 Turbo :)

    Good find. ​Old skool turbo noise is epic. Most manufacturers seem embarrassed by it and do their best to hide it. D.

    Bearing noise 182

    The droning noise should increase with speed. Take the car on the motorway and get to 70-80mph - even for just a mile or so. If the bearing is shagged, there's a very good chance it will build up a lot of heat. I don't have centre caps on my alloys and when one of my bearings went the other...

    Black Golf R Enhancement Detail...

    Tbh m8 - I'd rather have the R than an S3. :) ​D.

    3 days ownership and now its broke :(

    With all due respect, you've bought a 9 year old car and without purchasing it from a family or friend, you will have zero idea of how its been treated since 2004. You could have bought something that was a minter, or a complete, unpolished turd. Those are the risks. Why would you necessarily...

    Black Golf R Enhancement Detail...

    Probably how common they are in comparison, I reckon? I hardly ever see any of the R's tbh around here. That said, it still looks too understated - certainly from any sort of distance. For all that performance and fancy trickery underneath, I would have thought VAG would make the exterior that...

    Taking a hard drive through customs

    Seriously? Must need require pretty high security there? ​D.

    An easy guide to subnetting?

    Numbers aren't my strong point to begin with. But subnetting really seems haphazard to me - like there was little thought put into how and why rules are in place. Why was 127 picked as a loop-back address? Borrowing bits from the host section, etc? Just all seems really chaotic - and unless you...

    probably most common question asked.. please help 172 / 182?

    I'm sensing a very good aftermarket Reno breakers business, exporting to Australia here! :cool: ​D.

    probably most common question asked.. please help 172 / 182?

    Is that why supercharging can be favoured over turbocharging on these engine? That it doesn't deliver all the torque on the traditional one hit? Cheers, ​D.

    probably most common question asked.. please help 172 / 182?

    $10k for a 182? Jesus - you can buy mine for that! :P As others have said - in real-world situations, there's hardly anything between the range. That said - the 172 Cup had a 90kg weight saving, if I remember correctly, over the standard Ph2 172. That alone is a significant reduction and I bet...

    Fiesta ST at Goodwood

    Looks good - does it help 'balance' the car with a passenger in? ​D.

    An easy guide to subnetting?

    Chaps, Has anyone got any suggestions or advice for getting my head around 'subnetting 101'? The more I read on the internet, the more confused about it I'm becoming. Some stuff even appears to contradict what other websites are saying. The subnetting section within the official Cisco CCNA...

    Audi S3 Driveway Engine Removal

    Excellent work Alex - you should get a quote from Audi as to how much that work would have cost you! On your 4th pic - the oil filter looks to be in a right b**ch of a location. I'm assuming that on a simple oil change, the filter could be reached from underneath? ​D.

    Good purchase - really liking it. Glad it wasn't one from Bury. I'd be a bit pissed you'd come all the way down and not see me... X ​D.

    Mintex Rear Discs Dont Fit!

    Are they not 'fitting' due to the simple mistake I made in the following thread? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?710095-Help-required-please-guys-182-rear-discs-amp-pads-(inc-pics) ​D.

    Changing shocks (What tools?)

    Even a long arm/breaker bar couldn't undo the top nuts on my front suspension. I had to get an air-gun on them. Any yep, they were drowned in WD-40 beforehand too. ​D.

    Turini centre cap question?

    Apologies if this has been covered before, but does the small plastic Renault centre-cap off the Turinis fit the standard 182 alloy? If so, I need to get four black ones :) Cheers, ​D.

    Rise of the Triad

    Might be worth nabbing the demo m8, if one gets released. But it is really that bad. I might stick at it for the completionist side of me - but I doubt it. ​D.

    Rise of the Triad

    Seriously guys - save your money from this donkey's wang of an FPS. It's cheap - £11.99 on Steam, but honestly, it's not even worth that. I purchased this really on the whim of nostalgia, having some good memories of the completely chaotic and insane original game that Apogee released all those...

    Laptop advice please

    I'd increase the budget slightly and go for this:- 2GB less memory than the Acer, but you won't notice that with what you're doing. And besides, memory is currently cheap for what you get. Oh, and it's got Win7 on it, but with the 'option' to upgrade to Win8. Which you won't do, unless you want...

    New country! New whip! (Jap content)

    Sounds great! At least the three of you are on a solid footing in terms of income. I'm sure that your parents will happily support you in the meantime anyway! Definitely one of the places I want to visit. So tantalising close to the vastness of the Pacific for me too. Dweamy..... :) D.

    Mazda Performance Scone. Mazda 3 MPS Project Log

    Ah - cheers. Never even think of that - especially as the Evo is cheaper to tax than the 182..... :cool: Besides, it's only half the price of one of Scone's graphics cards anyway - and he swaps them out every 2 weeks. D.

    Mintex Rear Discs Dont Fit!

    G 172 might have a better idea? ​I wasn't aware that Mintex even did rear discs for the 182. Could be an incorrect model listing? I just used Renault OEM when I replaced mine last Friday - especially as the rear does little in the way of stopping the car anyway. D.

    Ethernet Cable and Armoured Cable

    If it's running outside - I'd be putting the network cable through a plastic conduit anyway. Much cheaper if you have to replace the cable again in the future. ​D.
