Just drove a 200 mile trip to York and back in my 182, averaging 50.4mpg on the way there and down to 48mpg on the way back because of a bit of traffic! Really shocked, needle still reading above half a tank left! Was driving slwly on the way there, about 60-65 as i left home an hour earlier...

Thanks mate thats mine :D Audit? You work for Royces then or external?

^ old man :)

Because it isnt cable throttle mate, ph2 172's/ 182's are the same. Only ph1 172s have a cable throttle i think.

Would have been me mate, on victory rd? You work there then?

I might be able to help paul ;)

I'm 19, 2NCB. On my own policy I pay £1800 for a modified 182 with Adrian Flux. Pretty reasonable I reckon.

That was an example ;) My wheels are 5-6kgs lighter on each corner!! Terry&Leanne, thats awesome, thanks :D

there was alink on a thread on here about the difference, think it was 2kgs loss in wheels (all round so 0.5kg per corner) works out to 5kgs loss of body weight. Not very good explanation like!

I know there was somehting upon here about how much weight lost directly from a wheel calculates to rotational loss......anyone got a link to it? Or an external link please?!

Nice one, 18 months for me and hopefully one will be on my drive :)

I just made a best offer of £0.99

Nice. How old are you mate? What insurance do you pay?

Re: HAS A CRASH THIS MORNING! You don't need to get a check-up that day, know this as a fact from experience. Also a non fault claim should not affect your policy, it doesnt reflect your driving. If it does kick off about it.

Not sure if that would make a difference, as they still, i assume, bolt onto the original shock bolt on the rear trailing arms? So should have an effect on this? Stupid as it sounds, maybe one wheel wasnt put on 100% right and tight, so could have had the bolts slightly loose and flared out...

Camber isnt adjustable on the rear without camber shims (basically slivers off metal that are angled) that sit behind the hub assembly somewhere, so something doesnt sound right there mate. Might have a slight different reading between sides but nothing that much surely?

You might find that it is catching elsewhere mate, I thought mine was the bracket, but turned out it was actually the archliner at the top of the arch, near where the turret goes up. Take your wheel off and see if you can see any wear marks on the plastic. Also, by grinding the bracket it is...

Nice, the blue 206, is it a mate of yours? I think its one my mate just sold, had RSL cults on it and huge spacers converting to 4x100? He sold them or a refurb job?

Haha, I know! I'm a trained Aeronautical Engineer too haha!

done! Thanks for the help! Killed my fingers and I got wet but at least they are on! See if they work when I finish tonight!

It's simpler than it sounds I think, basically you will unbolt your seat from underneath the car, this will remove the seat and subframe, so you will have clear floor underneath. The new subframe bolts in place of this using the same holes, then you would bolt the seat on top of that nice and...

Will be possible to buy something, Sparco subframes for the clios. Fairly expensive though which is a put off. All buckets will come either base mounted or side mounted (linked ones) so will need either special subframes or a bit of DIY to get them to fit.

Depends how handy you are #i guess mate. Maybe get some custom subframes made that sit in the originals place, then make sure the holes are in the right place for the side mounts, far enough back etc, then should be as simple as that.

I need to see this car! Stunning, absolutely stunning

^ That is exactly what I wanted to hear, legend!

I'll have a go in the light tomorrow, just seemed to hurt my fingers but not move!!

Looked exactly the same as mine did about 3 months ago mate, I'm doing a pretty similar thing to you! Got myself H&R's, lightweight 15's, stripped, brake upgrade, and the car is amazing! Keep it updated!

Now I feel like a right r****d! I've fitted coilovers, new brakes and numerous other bits and bobs on my cars, but never changed the front wipers, and I'm stumped! Might be a combination of cold and tiredness, but couldnt get them off without thnking I was going to bend the wiper arm, how do...

Awesome, I'm after one of these this side of christmas so ill get it, thanks for the heads up :)

lol at the mpg in the 5th gear run! Is that with an RSTuner?
