Well only the Aux belt needs doing at 36,000 miles, or both belts if it's been 5 years. But if you're changing one, you may as well change the other. Be grateful you only need new exhaust mounts, as opposed to a whole new system :(

Am I just not driving hard enough? My brakes have never had issues like this. I've only managed to push the brakes to fading once. Do different discs and pads really stop you that much quicker?

Welcome, good looking cars. In regards to the RB, looks like you need new rear exhaust mounts. Tail pipes are sagging just a tad, and in 3,000 miles you've got the 36k service

Please, some one take him out in a 182

Fair enough, theres many a good photospot up there. Ogston Resevoir looks like a good place for pictures too, thats 2 minutes outside of clay cross

They'll be too wide I think, no doubt some one will correct me though. I read some where that 205 was the widest tyre you could get on a 7 inch rim

Looking good, where abouts were they taken?

I <3 Norm. How's it going with the vee now anyway?

Just don't I've had my 182 for 18 months now, and I'm 20. Not worth paying the ridiculous insurance premium, you'll only get bored, and wish you saved and bought something faster.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please dear, read what I've said again, your car doesn't have a problem, it's just that it hasn't warmed up fully. I know because mine does it too if I haven't let it warmed up, even after 20+ minutes

+1 you'll find that smaller wheels will give it a bit of a drop too. Maybe some 2118's? or pro race 1.2s (I dont particularly like turinis)

No.... you think it was warm, because of that guage telling you so :rasp: The oil wasn't up to temperature, so the engine was still cold. Even after 20 minutes of driving, if you haven't driven it hard, it still won't have warmed up fully.

The car isn't warm enough. The limiter kicks in earlier so the engine doesn't damage itself

Haha, don't worry, I get it, no one else will Very nice

Hi Wouldn't be able to seperate the splitter and leave a perfect bumper underneath, the original bumper was cut into to get the splitter to fit.

Add that one to the post count :rasp:

Oh it's almost as good as the original thread!!!

Didn't last long, I only sold it to him 2 weeks ago...

Nice wheels, amphasite looks good on the silver

Would the insurance company hear about it if you "made it faster"?

Epic thread tbh. I suggest the OP grows up and buys a car that he can afford the insurance on. 1.0 Citroen C2s are insurance group 1 if I remember correctly? Insurance fraud, not big or clever

Re: What would my car go for? It'll go for whatever anyone is willing to pay for it tbh, and as there are so many undamaged examples out there, very few people would buy yours, over an unrecoreded car. Unless it was stupidly cheap, which is where you'll lose out I'm afraid

Tuner politics FTL

Amen

The blue thing proves my point about never wanting a corsa, couldn't care less what's under the bonnet, it looks like it was made by matchbox, and refined by chavs.

I'd have the 197 all day long. All you need to do, is type "corsa" into google image search, and there's your reason as to why I would never own a corsa. Never liked them, never will.

10mm spacers should nudge the wheels out far enough to make them flush with the panels. Might even get away without longer bolts. If you are going to widen the track though, I'd get a garage to adjust the suspension, my old fiesta had 10mm spacers on, and when I took the wheels off after 6...

Standard rear lights, get rid of the polished lip on the alloys, and remove the vent in the bonnet. Nice car, but spoiled by how "busy" it is.

Wider tyres and more grip = Myth http://www.carbibles.com/tire_bible_pg2.html Explains it halfway down that page. But Spacers should solve the problem easily enough, and are by no means a "bodge" fix. With widening the track however, the camber will be out on the wheels slightly, and...
