My Phase 1 is on a Y plate and doesnt have the Alloy bonnet, there lighter than carbon bonnet's apparently

Id personally rather this, but then if hes got no option but to part X the Mini then its going to be a little difficult > http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/878598.htm

Steering Gemometry will need re aligned mate if its pulling in one direction

Not pedantic mate just making clear whats different about them, its just when you said theres not much difference there is actually. The ratio's are different from a Phase One and the Phase two. This has been done to death, and as i said earlier theres too many mitigating factors. The main...

Im quite happy its pishing of rain here, although an empty Ikea car park with plenty of snow is good to hone the skills in the snow

Wouldnt bother, id much rather have a ready to go example

^Thats fair enough mate, like you say, some experiences are better than others!

Does no one use blackcircles.com on here??? Not a chance in hell id use Kwik Fit

Well not really mate, ill use my Phase 1 as an example. The 182 is 21kg's heavier than the Phase 1, the Phase 1 had a shorter throttle cable and 15" wheels (as opose to the 16" the 182 has) Not exactly the same but enough to mention

Very nice Rory! So glad you found a good example! Cant wait to see it at a meet! Whats the miles on it?

^Jesus f**k!

These are a piece of piss to fit mate, both mine went within a month of each other. Renault wanted £164 each, went to euro car parts and got two for 1£60. IT takes longer to take the plastic door guard off tan it does to fit the regulator. That black sticky plastic is a ball ache to pull away

When you ask for them you can specify that they have them (i think there solid to the disc, dont think they can be removed iirc)

Sorry mate that was a typo on my part, it was supposed to say "wouldnt be a cars length between them"

EVO say the Phase 1's claimmed o-60 is 6.6 Everyone will dispute this but then if you put them all in a straight line there would bt a cars length between them. Too many mitigating factors, engine wear, miles, tyres, driver ability etc This coupled with the fact that the 197/182 carry a...

Im assuming so mate, i know there 238mm at the rear and 280mm up front. Euro will ask the car regi plate (i think they can access the build details from there computer's so it should be a problem accessing the right parts)

That looks very very tidy! What is the mileage Ali? Must be tidy if 'oor Rory's buying it? :o

01413310332 It wont be anywhere near £100 never mind 500, kwif fit are hopeless mate. I tried to get a price for 4 tyres and he started hitting me with prices for over £600 Jog on ya bunnit'..... lol Let us know how you get on matey!

238mm discs and pads from euro car parts in Mary hill was less than £45 iirc (not including bearing's, the bearings are £8 each mate) You want the number for Euro the now mate? (sarcacen street) Ive got a set of discs and pads waiting to be fitted just not had the time :o

Re: Snowd in Contest!! Its threatining to snow here but as usual we get a pish amount. Its got to be a foot or nothing atall tbh lol

Wish my Phase 1 was petrol blue

Re: Snowd in Contest!! I dont get this persona that people have of Cups being mad dangerous in the snow? ABS isnt going to help so your not going to miss it, if your going to crash, your going to crash. Not driving it atall would eliminate the source of danger so long as its not parked on a...

Re: Snowd in Contest!! Id imagine sliding into a tree wouldnt be too healthy for it:S lol

fair play, still, id budget as if you were taking it to a garage anyway as it, god forbid, could snap driving it away!

5 years or 72k mate, belts were due done in 2007 :o As said, Renault will take upto £800 off you for the job, a reputible specialist will take about 4-550 and about two days

Aye i posted this up, seems v/cheap

The Renaults do have a 12 year corrosion warranty, BUT, your car has to have had the paint work assesed whilst being serviced (there should be a box in the service book that has been ticked to say that the paint work has been inspected) If it hasnt, the corrosion warranty is null and void (i.e...

First one ive seen, very eye catching! Think you saw me aswell, never saw a sticker but it looked very nice! Anyone claiming it?:D

That lad stays in Paisley i believe, very nice exhaust note on that iirc.

Sounds like it was mis-firing!
