blimey thats great value!!!!! I'd have said ATE super blue (it will stain your lines though which is a mild ballache) as its a great fluid for minmal cash. Although recently I've been using just pikey 5.1 fluid from the local motorfactors Think its about £3/litre and not had a single boiling...

Kumho KU31's :) (or marshal KH35's, same rubber just different tread)

RS2's would be stuff as funk for this chaps desires lol. For a squidgy nasty tyre, try Toyo T1r's :) they only get 'stff' at a 35 profile.

I believe its calibrateable so you can set the pulse conversion to give you the right output. I've not used one but if you email Dom on picbits he will tell you everything you've ever not needed to know about ABS to Vss conversion lol

http://www.picbits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/61/products_id/212 problem solved for £12... WIN! Lots of the vauxhall lot use that item to run digidash's with abs sensors etc.

dont you like my frilly lacey thong?

Tuition is pretty much the best £ per second off a laptime you can spend on. I do a fair bit of stuff at carlimits and its a total riot, you get to learn what to do when it goes wrong, you get to find the limit and see how to come back from it and in general discover that the car will 90% of...

it appears that if the car weighs less than a ton, ebc's suck.... if the car weighs over a ton they range from ok to great lol

iirc toyos need a good 1K dry miles to get all the release compound crap and general toss rubber scrubbed off, but even then they are a mediocre tyre imho

I had some greens on my omega... they were ACE!!!!!! so it seems that if you want ebc's to be good you need a car that weighs about the same as Saturn lol

you dont actually need a spigot ring AT ALL..... if you can centre the wheel with the bolts (thats what the tapers are there for ;) ) you will be fine. Spigots just help you line things up. I've fitted wheels to 1.5 Ton trailers which had no form of hubcentric location bar the tapers on the...

Fronting is NEVER a good idea and iirc illegal (well atleast Fraud). Yes insurance is rough but its one of those things in life that if you feck around with it, it will cost you loads forever.... if you grin and bear some short term pain you can get onto the good cars much quicker/affordably. I...

Even if you have 10 years experience and no NCB you will get charged the same as no exp and no ncb... (well thats what I found out when insuring a 2nd car to begin with)

It was really easy when the other half got pregnant... she said I should keep the vx as it does what I need of a car and it would take the baby seats lol Only changing now as I'm bored :)

lmfao the hub flange and spigot rings do NOT support the weight of the vehicle. Neither so the studs/bolts (as such) Its the clamping force of the bolts holding the wheel to the hub/disc that keeps everything together. I mean come on, do you seriously think a 5mm bit of plastic will hold the...

And get no NCB build up.... great idea.

we had a 3dr MK4 astra for the first 14 months of Ambers life (and my vx)... NEVER had a problem bar not enough boot space in the astra. So we have a B5.5 Passat estate now and its a shame they dont do a 3Dr version of that lol

I found the VX on T1R's to be a total pain in the ass to drive wet or dry lol. Pikey kumhos to the rescue :)

Yes i know they arent the same shade of blue :p

on the RB 182's should the white stripes go behind the number plate or finish 'staggered' above the renault badge and plate? eg like this or this

Cool. Well the clio will be a step in the family/sensible/grown up direction lol.

spiffy thanks..... :) phew Yes I understand that child seats go on the inside of a clio, but its a GENERAL clio question :p You had best move the 'looks of a 197' thread to the exterior area lol

So I'm looking for a 182, on the assumption that friends have normal Clios of the same bodyshape and have child seats in the back..... Now I've read a fair few FS threads/ads where the owner is selling up due to a kid coming and the seat not fitting. Is this true?!?!?!?!?!? I plan to put...

You need to driver a current shape MANUAL Ford Mustang and a VX220 to find a properly terrrible pair of gearboxes lol Actually The 59 plate Skoda Octavia I'm currently having to endure has a pretty horrific shift too. The 172 and 182's I've driven have felt like Rolls Royces lol

I've worked in a cataylst test and aging facility and we frequently hosed tons of fuel into the exhaust to get the cats upto 1.5K deg C etc and never really killed them. Lean'ness is what really hurts them as a lean mix burns much much much hotter and thus will ruin a ceramic or metal substrate...

maybe it was my lack of weight over them that was the issue, but once they went cold it was hard as hell to get them to work again (in the end I put them on the front of our mk4 astra to get them to warm up and kill them off lol)

I was asked by a tyre fitter why I wanted "cheap shite" fitted to my plastic skip car.... he didnt realise that the KU31 is a fantastic tyre that works very very very well on the road and on the track. I had something like 25-30K from a rear set (bearing in mind it was a RWD car) and never felt...

do you have them on yours? I've got them on another car and love them to bits so would happily chuck them on the new clio... imho I'd only really run Hankook RS2's in summer as when they go cold they suck balls bigtime

This was wet, plug leads were wet. If it was a bit dry and crusty then it could have been changed, but imho it hadnt. CBA with the time to sort that + the other issues on that car.
