Bump, help please.

Will only look good if there is actually the cut offs on the car. Otherwise it's like a sport badge on a non sport. Plus will look stupidly random, and normal people won't have a clue what they are about. Should have saved the £5 odd i bet they cost towards some coilovers and lower if from...

Right, need some help with working this out. Standard bolts have a 23mm long thread. I've currently got longer bolts in, but ignore that for now.. I'm running 10mm spacers all round, meaning that I would now need 33mm long bolts right? On rally designs, they sell the following lengths...

pics of the owner?! Nice car!

My old 1.2, on 195/50/15's.

Agree to be honest, mines used to demist the windows or on full to warm up, once im warm it's off. Hate the noise of the fan etc. Although never knew there was a 'proper' way to use it, i just do hot/cold then off when im happy. So wish I got a 172 cup :(

^ The pic of the R36 engine does, a VR6 says 'VR6' on it ;)

I always thought the VR6 engine wasn't a V6?? Anyone confirm?

Didnt get any pics yet as it started raining when I went to look over it. Damage I can remember is: Front left wing smashed Headlights hanging off Bonnet fooshed Slam panel fooshed Front bumper ripped off Gear linkage snapped Front left wheel pushed back Left whishbone bent upwards Some kind...

Thanks mate, good point. Everyone involved was fine :) It wasnt head on, the corsa was turning right as he was overtaking, both cars in the wrong, although on the face of it it looks 100% his fault.

Yeah, I reckon if he decides to not repair he'll want to do it to another though. He'd just had a new exhaust fitted last week too. Gutted.

Thats what I said to him about getting a new one, but he didnt seem too keen. Can't be written off technically, he's only TPFT.

Yeah he would be miles better doing that, i've told him too, but he doesnt want to let it go. It's his pride and joy. Well the damage I know of: Kinks on A Pillars Bumper off and fooshed Left (i think) wheel pushed back Lights hanging by the wires Cross member damaged Thats what another...

I havent got any, ill get some tomorrow, obviously not in its glory though. Feel gutted for him, renews his insurance early next year so was set on letting Ktec loose on 2.0'ing it as he could insure it when he renews. Apparently he's had a quote of £4.5k to repair it! Also been told it has...

To be fair it was done properly, he bought it like that, original Renault bodywork (£££) needs some slightly bigger spacers on the wheels, and a bit lower on the back but from a distance it looks quite good. Easy to say its rubbish on here as everyone knows the specific points about that so...

Yeah was gonna do that as well actually, although it's a 1.2 so will be a bit different. It's past a write off by miles, but he wants to get it all fixed cos he loves it, V6 replica. Gonna get it up in the air and have a good look round etc, just wanted to make sure I wasnt gonna miss anything...

My mate stacked his car the other day, said i'd have a look round it to see what needs repairing tomorrow. Anything specific that I should look at that i might not notice striaght away? Front end, I think it drives. Bumper off etc, slam panel fooked too. Any way to see if the engine would...

£16 for 2, or £16 each? Now just the rubber bit, the whole mount? Where did you get them from?!

I agree too, only reason for driving slow was i had an hour to lose, why drive there at 90mph and sit around bored, so just made the journey last longer.

Just changing too fast mate, the synchromesh needs a little more time to get to the right speed i think, so just got a bit steadier on the change, be smoother. My 182 does it.

Looks mint on the wheels! Clean them before you drop them off ;)

These completely brand new Paul? How much, i could do with some new ones sometimes soon.

Yeah 'cos i'm really going to come on here and lie about it...

I get 30mpg day to day in the 182, used to get about 45 in my 1.2. Most I got from the 1.2 way 56mpg on a similar run but didnt drop below 70mph.

Not lies, just careful driving! I'm guessing the lost weight helps but just drove nice and smoothly.

Just drove a 200 mile trip to York and back in my 182, averaging 50.4mpg on the way there and down to 48mpg on the way back because of a bit of traffic! Really shocked, needle still reading above half a tank left! Was driving slwly on the way there, about 60-65 as i left home an hour earlier...

Thanks mate thats mine :D Audit? You work for Royces then or external?

^ old man :)

Because it isnt cable throttle mate, ph2 172's/ 182's are the same. Only ph1 172s have a cable throttle i think.

Would have been me mate, on victory rd? You work there then?
