    182 failed on emissions

    Certainly worth trying - they over fuel when cold quite a lot. Mine regularly pops on the overrun when cold. I bet getting it up to temp like Paul suggests would help a lot.

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Hah! Point well made :)

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    That's the bit that scares me Dan. I've been flexing the door panel when pushing back and my brain is thinking I'm doing it wrong, to simply slide a bit of plastic back. If you slide it back, how do you apply the pressure with the door open? Frustrated.com ;)

    Cleaned this today (exige s content)

    Top work! Love these cars - the look, their poise, the rarity. And that colour just works brilliantly. D.

    182 lowered 25mm

    Put Eibachs on mine years back. The literature said it would lower the car by 30mm and I'm glad I bought them. A nice and subtle drop overall. The 182 with the Cup package looks like a 4x4. The standard 182 look even worse. Way too high. D.

    using too much fuel.

    Out of interest, how dirty is/are the tail-pipes on your car? My exhaust tips on the 182 started getting really black and sooted up. This went hand in hand with the MPGs going south and I got it chucked into the local Renault dealership for a full diagnostic. They came back with a faulty...

    FlyEye Kit, Yay or Nay?

    Not really my thing - I wouldn't do it. The tights thing makes me lol. A bloke I knew about 10 years ago put them on his Punto and from a distance, I thought he'd spent a fair amount on smoked lenses. Got close up and...... oh dear. D.

    Scottish V6 meet

    Epic! I do miss the days of the Vee Meets! :) D.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Windows 7 Home Edition for me. Reformatted to Windows 8 and couldn't get on with it. Went back to 7. Windows 8.1 came out, reformatted to that. Still couldn't get on with it (though admittedly it was a better). Went back to 7. I need to reformat again in the near future and will certainly be...

    Alien Green 200 Interior Lights

    Different! Actually, they should be good for looking for things at night - not as good as red, mind. Easier for your eyes to adjust to that colour than standard, stark light in a darkened area. D.

    Poor fuel consumption

    There's a lot of speculation and plain guesswork in this - and as such, it's difficult to give accurate advice. First off however - get it serviced!!! I know it's probably money you would rather spend elsewhere - but putting aside a wedge to get my car serviced would be a much higher priority...

    Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

    LOVE the wheels. Dare I ask roughly what they cost you? Or is that wince-inducing to bring that price back up?! How do you rate the F1's? They were a great tyre on the Evo for me, but even with just daily driving, I was surprised at how quickly they wore down. D.

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Cheers guys. Just so I know I'm doing things right, do I NOT take off the side-strips in order to make access to the bullets easier then? It is the bullets alone that I want to exchange. Ideally, I wanted to remove both the strips and the bullets and wipe the crap from behind while I was...

    197 sold - 328i sport bought!

    Definitely keep the spoiler - it's hardly WRC spec, is it? And while you've got the dangerous thoughts of removing bits - DO NOT remove the mudflaps. They are there for a reason! :cool: D.

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Potentially, could this be down to nearly 10 years worth of build-up from road crap, rain and muck that has ran over the strips themselves? The threads I've read on here simply state a slide-back motion is required - yet I can't get them to move. Well, the passenger side anyway, as that's the...

    Best place to buy pads that will deliver

    George (aka G 172) is definitely the man to contact. Really helpful with queries and pricing. The best bet is to let him know what you want from your brakes (like track work, daily driving, etc) and some idea of budget. Definitely one of this forums' most dependable traders! D.

    seagate sshd - crap speed?

    Just as a quick guess - has your BIOS defaulted back to IDE/legacy mode for the SATA emulation? Make sure its on AHCI. D.

    iPhone 6 thread.

    I don't upgrade my phones quickly at all. I had my 3GS for over four years before switching to the 5 that I have now. At the earliest, I reckon I'd be looking towards the 7. Skip a generation - the technical improvements over the previous one aren't always 'that'. As a device, the size, shape...

    Whats a ps3 worth....

    When you say no HDMI - do you mean without the cable, or does it actually not come with HDMI output? D.

    911 turbo

    I have a mega soft-spot for Porkers in general. I dread to think how much those carbon bits were! :) D.

    Fiesta ST Turbo, 250bhp. £5500

    Looks neatly done. Like the gauge in the driver's side central vent. :) D.

    Thank you, but no thank you!

    Christopher would no doubt give you some good pointers. And he's in spitting distance from me..... D.

    Alternator problems

    Yep - that adds more complication to an already difficult-to-source-correctly part. Even the Renault dealership that I got truly humped off in terms of getting a new one for mine, took days to get the right make/model for my 182. They even ordered the incorrect one initially. D.

    Cheating - and making games better?

    I know what you're saying there. Currently in XCOM I'm on -$188 per month - and that's purely from the upkeep of the facilities I have. No way could I generate enough money playing the game 'properly' to be able to afford that. Like I insinuated in my OP, the world is being attacked en masse by...

    Cheating - and making games better?

    Now normally, I despise cheating in games. They quickly nullify any sense of achievement or progression through a game and ultimately make it quite boring. Perhaps the last time I was involved in any form of active 'cheat' in a game (prior to the one I'll mention below) was with online...

    1992 Mazda RX7 FD3S Type R

    Awesome Liam! That vid 4 in particular - sounds so mechanical and 'brutal' being driven around. Watching vids like this makes me love the the 'ol rotaries even more! :cool: Out of interest, I take it that warning alarm is a rev-limiter? Any idea what its currently set at? D.

    1992 Mazda RX7 FD3S Type R

    LOVE the RX7s! The one I have on GT6 is still my favourite car. :o I cannot believe that lines of that car are approaching quarter-of-a-century in age. Jap cars have often been called boring and hideous (sometimes, quite rightly so!) - but with cars like this, the last Supra and the NSX - they...

    A little AD Powershell help, please?

    Cheers guys - I'll have a dabble this afternoon :) D.
