The technology of shooting fella. Not all tech needs to be a shiny rectangle :) Good link, might reverse-link it back

Afternoon. The old man and I were pricing up cartridges for Duck hunting over the wash. He's currently using bismuth (with 3-shot) but at £24 a box, they're a little steep. Reloading costs aren't much nicer either, Thing is, there's some confusion about the use of steel shot. BASC is showing...

With the FIA awards this week, that's the European series all concluded. But that doesn't mean you're short of cars circulating for glory. This weekend is the final meeting if the Aussie V8 series and although Whincup had the title all wrapped up last month, there ar still some arguments to...

If I was going to be brutal, I'd say that jigging around with the paint on an 11yr-old Clio is like sweeping water uphill will a broom made of £50 notes. But if it keeps the car fresh-looking, it can only be a good thing when you come to off-load it :)

Sounds a much better plan than forking out 50% of the worth of the car on a wash!

I was expecting a thread of Dreads explaining the best ways to cook the roadside animal free-food options. At least it's not Chris "for £50 your car can be better than Black Jebus" Harris

So Renault are building cars that are appealing to a wider range of people than the self-proclaimed hardcore road warriors, in the name of getting more sales and vehicles on the road. These cars' value will drop like a stone like all other Renaults, meaning there'll be school-run, unabused...

Renault are building cars that are appealing to a wider range of people than the self-proclaimed hardcore road warriors. Whats the problem there? Those who moan about "soft suspension", "not loud enough" etc. are likely to be the same ones who'll be bolting on lowering coilovers and a drainpipe...

NSX's are holding their worth, and I wouldn't argue with it. And I'd rather have the Honda V6 than the M3 engine. I appreciate a lot of it is down to intake and exhaust set-ups but I just think it sounds better.

Out of interest, what did the price-comparison sites come up with? If it's a modified car then yeah, they're rubbish, but for standard cars I'm interested to know if any significant savings are made by calling around the "specialists" as in my experience they were rarely much better. So, if...

I think that's a service light. As in "time for new oil" light. Might be wrong though

the only exhaust that I've ever had to change....was on the 172. It was swiftly followed by a shagged mid-pipe. Then swiftly binned off

Last time I checked, Renault was a business, not a charity ;)

Be cheaper to buy an NSX and stuff the engine into a V6 Clio.... ....that might even work actually..... @cat171 I need your car.....and an NSX, and The Unit for several weeks.... ...and some idea of how mechanical things work

HyperMega - Waiting for something worth having to come out....and GTA

For how long before a rebuild is in order?

Welcome to French cars lol :)

ahhhhh! well, get yourself in for a quite alignment then, it';d be cheaper than a hub. If it fixes it, then gets worse, something is loose in your fixings...I guess

worth a try then I guess :(

Curious double post

hmmmmmm. From what you say you've changed out...what is possibly left on that corner? The hub itself?

did it ever get beter afdter you did the bearings? I replaced a front wheel bearing in my old 172 and 2 weeks later had to have another one fitted again as the new part had almost immediately shat itself

300hp out of NA 2-litre 4-pot? How may revs is that going to take? :grimacing:

Given it's a pointless exercise anyway, how about splicing into the tacho and then when it gets to 4010 RPM it flips a relay to illuminate a chandelier hanging from the rear view mirror and some LED valve caps and some strobing underbody neons at the rear. The '4k kick' becomes the next 88mph

Vvt is active from little above 1500rpm. It's not like VTec which has a fixed on/off, VVT constantly adjusts timing but around 4-5k it makes itself more noticeable as the timing goes from 'Eco' to 'sport' (for want of a better way of putting it)

Yeah......I can't work out if that looks any better or worse. Maybe not silver, but, IMO, there's now too much black. Maybe a gunmetal / ampersand grille? As for the plate.....3/4 sticky plate on an offset is your way forward ;)

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sue my old 172 had a shift-light from the factory? OK, it may in the instrument cluster, where dials and lights typically go, but I'm sure it existed. As such either 1) OP, you could use this output to wire in your own, re-located LED 2) It's already there...

Yep
