No haha, a place up near Preston called Tilling Powdercoating. The Megane wheels i had done were yeah, powdercoated red. Decent enough job for £120.

Had a set of 18" Megane ones done for £30 a wheel :tongueclosed:

Bit overkill to convert the brakes really. Can't really go quick enough in a 1.2 😂 I'd save the money and buy a 182 when you can insure one.

Would need the hubs, the correct bolt spacing on the shocks to go with the hubs. Probably a few other things too.

Yeah very good the PF97's.

That's what I said in less words that weren't copied and pasted from some website.

The grease will reduce the friction thus allowing the bolt to be tightened more, which applies more clamping force and stretching the bolt. That's why ARP supply special grease with their studs and bolts so that the torque can be replicated the same on each fastener.

You assumed I didn't torque them, but I did. After they had come loose the copper grease was cleaned off and then they were re torqued. They have since never come loose. Same reason I don't copper grease wheel bolts.

Wrong

Bit of penetrant spray should be fine, they can be tight though. Heat as mentioned should work. Don't copper grease them when putting them back in. Had them come loose doing that.

Used the long jack handle for Niall's and other cars.

Wedge the brake pedal all the way down, quite hard to do as you need something the perfect length.

1.11’s, 3000’s, Pagid Blue/Grey or Mintex 1177 in the front.

Just booked mine.

BRAKE CALIPER REPAIR KIT (BRK203020) That's the rear kit part number.

That's a kit for the 197/200 calipers @JB21

Do you feel like you're in the Matrix and everything you've been told is a lie 😂

Yeah they do pull about a third of the cars braking efficiency. The mk2 cup racers ran ds1.11 with 2500 in the rear, so it must have worked for them.

Quote seems fair, I guessed around £250 for the paint then plus whatever for the dent to be pulled out. Less filler the better.

£3-3.5k

Is that engine power or bhp per ton? Bhp per ton would give a better idea of which will be quicker in a straight line i would have thought.

That'll pull out no bother. Will need paint though possibly.

@bloke may know. He does all the 197 cams that get mapped at EFI. I was under the impression that 438's are timed to oem timing...

Quite possibly mate, the whole interior is held on with the f*****s 😂

Pretty much this. They're on those pop clip things mostly i think from memory.

Rust! Inside of the sills, but you need the rear inside door cards/trim off to see properly. Apart from that they're not that different from the 182. Some have issues with the idle control valve with it being cable throttle.

Tight is tight.

Go with the instructions mate.

Might actually be 140nm for both on the fronts.
