    My OSX dilema [possible r****d content]

    It's just a generic OS X disc AFAIK, Roy ! I presume I can buy a Lion in an Apple store and have an actual disc to call my own ? The thought of it being on a USB stick which goes AWOL or gets formatted by a donut (Hi..) doesn't do much for me TBH. (Yes I'm aware a DVD is easy enough to lose too).

    Will I need spring compressors when fitting coilovers to my non-sport mk2?

    ^ Pretty much this. I would not want to receive a 4" wide coilspring designed to take the dynamic mass of a 1.5 ton vehicle (car plus people/fluids/luggage + safety factor) on the chin or through my chest TBQFH.

    swapping standard seats for clio sports seats

    IIRC, you'll see (AIRBAG) on the side bolster, I can't remember if its the seat or back part.

    Clio II 1.4 16V - Alternator belt throwing it self off

    Why not ? It's not like rubber stretches or wears out over time ? :coffee: LMFAO. This is going to be epic.

    Er... I don't have a crystal ball with me today. You go look at your own car !? :S

    Rear headlight bulb not working !

    Surely both sides would be on the same fuse, and the high-level one too...?

    swapping standard seats for clio sports seats

    ^ Do it with the battery off !! Are there airbags in your standard seats ?

    Rear headlight bulb not working !

    Double check the wiring .. obviously the bulb works. Am I right in thinking you've put ph2 lights on a ph1 ? So therefore have changed the wires in the connector block...? IIRC, that side always seems to suffer with corrosion as well... just as a point of reference. If it all seems OK...

    Rear headlight bulb not working !

    Does the brake light come on that side ? They're a 2-way bulb IIRC...

    PH1 vs PH2 photoshoot. My first lowlight shot!

    The point of RAW is that it's uncompressed / un-fiddled with. Jpegs are RAW files from the sensor, which are compressed and conditioned based on your settings .. i.e.: Landscape mode, +2 contrast, +1 sharpness... etc etc..... Rob, I didn't even notice your seats in the shots. It's dark, and...

    PH1 vs PH2 photoshoot. My first lowlight shot!

    How long was the car stationary for...? That one for instance, was 30 sec shot.. with 15 or 20 seconds stationary to start with, to give you some idea what you need to do.

    spacersss

    It's steel... it goes between the wheel and the hub. If it's £5 or £500, it still spaces the wheel away by 5mm... :S I'm out..........

    Were those pictures taken on a Nokia 3310 ?! Shiny though... Wanna do my new bus ?

    25mm or Coilovers?

    Adjustable coilovers will be as harsh or soft as you want (within limits of the damper). Also you can replace the springs with harder/softer rated springs if needed... Springs on a mega tight budget, Coilovers FTW TBQFH.

    spacersss

    They're mass produced bits of steel which are 5mm wide... what's going to be expensive about that ?!

    Rear Arch HELP!

    If it's only the rears that are rubbing, get some 5 or 10mm spacers and put them on. It's a 2 minute job including jacking the car up, taking the wheel off and putting it back on again... That's got to be about 100 times easier than selling wheels etc etc...

    Rear Arch HELP!

    Why are spacers dangerous ?!
  25. TheEvilGiraffe

    Rear Arch HELP!

    Remove said plastic bit ...?! Or spacers as said. 10mm on the back and 20mm on the front .. will look much better :evil: Do your homework if you go down the spacer route .. you'll need longer bolts, and possibly hubcentric ones on the front.

    Rear Arch HELP!

    Cheapest / easiest = put the old wheels back on. Rubbing on the inside or outside ? What suspension are you running ?

    £2,000 Budget for improvements / mods... What would you buy??

    Matched inlets, Ph1 airbox + ITG filter, yozza + decat, coilovers, better brakes + lines, a second set of wheels + tyres (for track), a 'safety helmet' then spend the rest on track days and fuel, and/or a blat around Europe. But, in reality, if I had a standard 172 (which I did), I'd not bother...

    ECU Remap Tune Offer £175 to take 182 to 200bph???

    Are they Halfords specials ? 17"+ ? eBay. Unless they are an OEM+ wheel, which I'm betting they aren't..... if you don't like them, I doubt anyone on here will. ;)

    ECU Remap Tune Offer £175 to take 182 to 200bph???

    Nonsense. I dabble in the occasional Mars Bar or ToffeeCrisp too. But, my point being proved, if you want a fast car, buy one. Can probably buy both of those for the price of a 182...
