    Trip to Southport yesterday

    Just what I was thinking. They really suit the car. :) D.

    Sad day for the PH-RSi:(

    WTF? Surely it's worth an attempted repair? Any chance of buying it back? D.

    clio 197 or clio 182?

    ROFL! Eh?! That's like buying a Maybach limo and then complaining that it's too big. Surely when brain engaged pen to sign/mouth to say 'Yes' on buying it, something in the back of your mind said "Clio = small"? Mind you, at the current rate of 'evolution' in the series, you'll only have to...

    Integral USB sticks. Tough little feckers.

    Feck. I think I've killed it. :( Left it in my jeans (again) but this time it got the tumble dryer treatment too. Pulled the clothes out of the dryer, only to see the Integral stick at the bottom of the drum. Tried it this morning on two PCs - and nothing. It's officially deeeed. RIP...

    Which wireless router ?

    Draytek - FTW. Completely over-specced for home use, but they are superb. D.

    Black Ph.2 172 - TK Max car park, Bury

    ....with tinted rear light clusters. '03 plate, iirc? D.

    How far should a CV boot rubber sit?

    Nice one. That's where I've sat them at the moment. There's like a 'notch feel' when sat correctly. I did tighten them quite well - not too much though in fear of over-screwing the thread on the clip. Should be good enough for the time being, but I'll be keeping my eye on them! Thanks again...

    ripped off at renault

    Tbf, when mine went in for the bonnet catch swap and had the multi-point check, I was keen to see what Reno would say. There were three issues on the car that I knew about and they spotted all three. They mentioned two more, which I then addressed myself afterwards. I'm far from being a...

    The Dark Knight.... Progress Thread

    Doesn't sound horrible at all m8 - just great, imo! Shame about the pussy getting mangled though. Is it being exchanged or are you doing away with it altogether? :cool: D.

    The Dark Knight.... Progress Thread

    Naith - has the exhaust changed sinced last week (sorry - haven't read the rest of this thread)? Sounded brilliant I thought - especially at higher revs. Good, loud, with a harsh rasp to it. Made a few of us flinch at the loudness - lol. D.

    Fallout 3

    Same here. I finished the main game, just so I could get ready for the extra content. :) D.

    How far should a CV boot rubber sit?

    Basically, I swapped both clips out today (even though only one needed doing) and repacked the boots with some Comma CV/moly grease. But I'm unsure as to how far the rubber boot comes 'back on' before applying the clip? I put both new clips back on to the same position as the originals, but...

    changing 182 front indicator bulbs

    LOL - it is a bit of a squeeze. If you have E.T hands, it does help. ;) D.

    A 2.0 V6!!!

    The ad proudly states that it includes an "anti theft system". May I ask why? It will never need it. Classic case of someone who could have doubled her money if the damn thing was left straight. I mean, look at that side pic. Even if that car was hand built by your own fair limbs, there is no...

    ITB engine bay pics - ***** it up!

    ROFL! So true. Perhaps the most unused thing on my car. If I was lucky enough to have the ITB work done - the air-con wouldn't even remain in there for 5 secs. Out you go.... D.

    Moly grease? Common item at motor-factors?

    Reclipping the CV boot clips tomorrow on mine after noticing the tell-tale spots of pea-juice on the inside of one of the rims. Is moly-grease something easily available to pickup? Or could I use an alternative? I'd rather repack the boot(s) with some more grease before putting a new clip...

    RR Result at RS Tuning

    Lol! Maybe Reno got some spy-shots of your motor and thought "now there's an idea....."! Possible commission payments need to be looked into! :cool: D.

    how bad are standard exhausts...

    Mine's on 55k now - the original item from '04. Having said that, it's definitely sounding past its best now - lol. I do think the type of driving you do has some impact on the longevity of an exhaust. I do about 3 miles both at the start and finish of each workday, matched with about 10 miles...

    is it just me........ woop bring on tomoz!!

    None of that matters. So long as you've got enough money to fill the tank. ;) Enjoy it - and get some pics up! D.

    What are you having done, Naith? Going for the R26R look? ;) D.

    182 Cup in Blackpool

    :eek: ....thought that was a massive scratch on the bonnet of the last pic, at first! Nice car m8. Increasing the ranks of RS's in the Blackpool area now. Next they will be rivaling Warrington for RS Domination! ;) D.

    Just sorted pics of my old cars..

    Remember that pic of the Valver too. If it ran fine, I'd have that tomorrow! :) D.

    Anyone got any Equalizer pics of their car?

    .....minus Edward Woodward, of course. ;) Proper cheesey. But the last time I jet washed my car after work, the wash-booth was heavy with spray and the headlights were on my car. Looked really good from certain angles - probably helped with the blue-white effect of the xenons. Even if...

    Anyone for a crash

    Is that a roll of cable resting on the roof in the first pic? Feck - that could have caused some serious injuries, flying about the cab. :( D.

    Hello from Down Under (hate saying "G'Day")

    Hi Woz, I've been on Ozrenaultsport a few times and get the impression that Reno parts (and cars!) are few and far between over there. How is the R5 Tub liking the climate over there? Is the urban myth of Tubby's not restarting easily when warm, true? ;) D.

    Arctic 182 and blue Meg 225 parked side-by-side - Hemel Hempstead

    Was down there again Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Parked the works motor on the multi-story connected to the Premier Inn Central - and these two were next to each other. Following morning, just the arctic 182 was there. Think it was an '05 plate? D.

    172 cup - Bury Motors

    Thinking of swapping? ;) That was the place of my first 172 Cup viewing, back in '04. It had been used very hard though (every rim was badly scuffed and marked) - a few bits of wear and tear and 10k on the clock. If it had been a nicer example, I probably would have gone for it instead of...

    Miss my 182 :o(

    bsimmer - I notice the F150 has Virginia plates on it. Is that where you are now? Have you ever made the trip down to the Dragon's Tail at Deal's Gap? http://tailofthedragon.smugmug.com/TailoftheDragonPictures Not sure the F150 would be much to enjoy on there, but the 300C we hired was...
