I've heard of these firework antics from the Lorraine's. Like the idea of em' although I'm pretty keen to keep the paintwork and wheels in the condition they're in. If I used them they'd deteriorate the paintwork on my wheels and body? Contradicting views on the Blue's. I thought biting from...

Gotta be the Trophy!!!!:) Renault let themselves down with the the curb weight of the new Clio. It's terrible!!!:( MPG will be better with the Trophy also. Just like Integra Type R. DC 2 is the REAL driver's car not the DC 5.

Any warping issues so far? What sort of performance increase can I expect? Pedal feel? Bite etc? Not too sure about the Blue's, more of a track day pad?

After researching the potential uprgrade to 4-pot brakes I've decided just go not to. Seems there's issues getting the brakes bled properly and the pedal feel doesn't appeal even when they are working correctly. So I've decided to go for an uprated disc and pad combo. I've heard Brembo's Max...

It's a him?:S . I thought vehicles of any description were all classed as being femenine?

Cleaned mine on x-mas day. Had about 250 miles worth of winter dirt on her. Suprising what came of the sills and underneath.

Very nice indeed.:) Ironic. I'll soon be buying my kit car to go alongside my 182 Cup (Racing Blue also). Planning on a Westy. What's your kit car?

The DC 2 is the better one, it's lighter, more of a driver's car. Honda sold out with the heavier DC 5 lost the DC 2's magick.:(

I drove a DC 2 for four years as a part of my job and for social. Covered 35 K mixed driving. Christ they aint THAT raw!:eek:

Doesn't sound like there's anything to be wary of. At fives it's to be changed anyway. Does anything look like it's been moved/replaced in regards to the engine. Any tell tale signs of work to repair what's necessary if the cam belt has snapped?

I always buy privately, why involve a middle man for his cut. The supposed warranty sometimes isn't all what it's cracked up to be.

Don't panic. I doubt it's something expensive as from whats been said so far.

I paid £8050 for my 05' 182 Cup with 16K on the clock. I felt I got a good deal as for the care and attention the car had received. Very nicely looked after.:) :) Though I wouldn't say I got it cheap, though not expensive either. Depreciation hits hard in the first two to three years with...

Welcome to you in down under.:)

Second that. Black or nothing. You don't have performance calipers, and coloured calipers are associated with performance items.

Get it sprayed or fix the existing one if you still have it. I've never liked carbon fibre panels, unless the whole body is made from them. It looks odd having one panel in a different colour as opposed to the rest of the car. Also it's something the Max Power/Fast Car idiots subscribe to...

Apart from the Saxo VTS and the Laguna all the rest are unecessary. Do you get some sort of pleasure from having a hum-drum fleet. Please enlighten us.....share the perversion....:S

Sounds good. I'm hoping it's gonna give a bit more noise to the exhaust, currently a BTB, but yet to fit it.

Thanks for advice. The really odd thing is that 30 seconds ago, just bought the Yozzasport decat. Most seem happy with em'. Hopefully I will be too!:)

Mine are following the same symptoms as your's. There's a grinding sound, but much more noticeable at low speeds, though it is still there at higher speeds. Suspect, as I've been told, that my discs are corroding. Now on 27K, still using 1st set of pads and discs. Apparently the corrosion...

I'll probably go for a Yozzasport de-cat. They do seem rather well made. Is there any others which do the job better?

Which de-cat did you use on the BTB Gary?

I had a N/A 2.0 GTi a fair few years back. I wouldn't say it's quite as quick as my 182 Cup, not too far off though. Grip and balance was pretty good when I opted for Koni dampers. Tended to swap ends when right at the limit before the upgrade. Grip and traction was good otherwise, but my...

They certainly look the biz. So with a progressive feel, the pedal is soft for a ceratin amount of travel then bites there after? Also I've heard issues can arise with air in the system and not easy to rectify?

Just wondered who's using the Willwood brake, what they think of it and how it performs? All coments appreciated.:)

So a de-cat is the most likely way of increasing performance? What de-cat should I go for?

Fair point. If the increase/decrese in power is minimal I'd probably settle for a high flow item. Just want to get the best from the BTB exhaust since I'd like it to develop it's proven 6 h.p.:)

Will be fitting my BTB exhaust soon and wondered if I should use a high flow or de-cat pipe? Which one would give the most gains for a BTB exhaust? Would prefer something rather noisy to balance out the quietness of the exhaust. All comments appreciated.:)

Sorry to hear about you old chap falling off his bike, too much xmas tipple? I wash the motor as I find I can't sit still for too long. Otherwise I'd be cycling too.

I've washed whatever car I've had every xmas day I believe for the last ten years. It's tradition!:) and tradition MUSN'T be broken. Xmas day is like Sunday with bonuses....ok if your a kid (at heart perhaps) but those bonuses wear off as the day wears on and boredom sets in:dapprove: .
