Giving it some down the backside. Got a pic waiting, if its you...

MV05*EP? It was black gold with a hayward scott exhaust - px'd it for a type-r 6 months ago so it must be in circulation somewhere...

I was in the type-r and we had a quick raz up to golborne, but you left without saying goodbye. :(

It sounds wonderful - ahhh! The workmanship on the boxes is pure art, especially when i saw it next to my "old" exhaust! I was given the option of taking my standard exhaust away, but just left the 3month old blowing, rattly piece of shlt lying there.... good riddance. My only problem is...

Is anyone ordering anything from autopia soon? If so, can i tag a little order on the back? i just want some new PC polisher pads, but dont really wanna spend $26 on postage of some foam worth less than that. Alternatively, can i get pads from anywhere here in the UK? Any help...

Is an engine brace available for the 182? Every time I give it a thrash, the exhaust starts to blow and I'm bored with the constant return to Renault to reattatch it. Used to have the same problem with a mini but a brace sorted it. Anyone know?

Hands up who was in the group buy for a H&S - how much did you all end up paying? Anyone got a Yozza? How's that working out for you? Anyone rate a Magnex? I'm a sucker for those slash-cuts I feel the time is right to dump the toilet pipes that came from Renault, but i don't want to be...

I want to powder coat my wheels satin black/v.dark grey: Has anyone any experience of powder coating? How long does it take? They are my only wheels so is it a case of done while you wait? Is a satin finish harder to maintain than gloss? Are there good and bad powder coaters or is it...

I've just passed 8000 miles and have noticed a substantial gain in performance. I'm getting torque steer, squealing tyres on roundabouts and am seeing the gear shift light a lot more often. The car feels like its had a fistful of vitamins and a slap on the arse and suddenly woken up. It...

172 @ Arnold Clark - I know its not exactly a surprise to spot a renault at a dealers, but this had OZ's and crystal clusters at the rear. 182 in standard guise (no cup pack) at Tesco. Parked next to it and was quite surprised to see how much the cup pack makes a difference.

My catalytic converter has destroyed itself after 8000 miles. Just took it in for its first service today and was informed it would need a complete exhaust replacement. All under warranty too which is nice. Just for reference to everyone with a 182. Apparently it was defective from the...

At low speeds with the gears engaged, i'm getting a shrill squaking sqeaking noise from underneath. its worse at low speeds with fifth engaged. Nothing at all when stationary, even if revved. it gets louder if i push the accelerator all the way down and can be as loud as the sound a loose...

I check my oil every weel or so and so far (6000 miles), its all been there and the colour of unadulterated childs p*ss. But last night i got the oil light; checked my level this morning and its at the VERY bottom of the dipstick and almost black. Whats going on??? Should i be alarmed???

M^ toll road 3am and empty - or so i thought Give it some juice - notice the faintest light behind me so lift off. Few minutes later im still drifting down to 60mph and get the UFO lights in the rear view. VASCARd at 90.68mph average over 2 miles. As id spent that deccelerating im quite...

or was i seeing things

never really liked that colour in theory, but seeing it in the flesh in sunshine its a glorious colour - especialy with the anthracite wheels

my 182 has what sounds like something loose inside the main airbag bit - should i be worried? its not been smacked or anything, just appeared and i can hear it rolling around when i turn the wheel...

After chatting to Brun, i felt inspired: Washed in fairy liquid and buffed with NXT. A few snaps and a reflective portrait (geddit?!?!?)http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y5/soepy/portrait.jpg

Hello I was the 182 with its bonnet up:oops:

Passed a nice blue 182 when i was going in to work this morning. Honked as i passed and he was game on for a bit of a sprint before i had to turn off. Good work fella - i enjoyed that

Just a couple of grab shots. Came out of B&Q and the light was quite nice. Havent used anything more harsh than autoglyms resin polish. I am going to invest in decent fluids as the odd wash swirl is coming through. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y5/soepy/113_1437.jpg...

Was that the Duttster i saw coming in to warrington as i was leaving? Turned round to catch up but lost you bud

Seen it twice now whenever ive been in the beer garden at the Horseshoe. It looks cherry

Looked gorgeous, being driven like an expert - driver was well fit too... ...oh wait, it was me.

...the plastic apron that sits over your grill like a protector. You see it when you open your bonnet. God i sound thick

dont see any for ages then two come along at once; one silver, one blue. Both in a gym carpark i was cutting through to avoid a jam. Id have waved but i had no idea where i was...

If i replace the cd player will i still get info on the dash display or is that part gonna be redundant? If i keep the standard head unit, are there options to improve its bite - amp outs, i-pod ins etc? Im assuming its just basic with little room for improving/adding to....

Just been to halfords in warrington and theyve got nakamichi head units on sale at half price - £250! First it was meguairs, now Nakamichi at halfords? Whats going on?

Raining yesterday and i opened my window just as i pulled up at lights only to find a cascade of water rush through the window gap and straight onto the electric window switches. Luckily had a rag to mop up the damage but they wouldnt work for a few minutes afterwards. Got away with it this...

i got my car on the options plan and being over 31, took the £400 insurance package. I was that happy about that price i never thought to ask about renewal - is that going to be available at the same price next year or do i have to immerse myself back into the seedy world of shysters with crap...
