Just had some rear brake pads delivered by GDI [only ordered them late yesterday afternoon! Great Service adn the cheapest around!]
On the side of the box it says Pug 306 GTi - are these the same as the 172?

I have checked my display settings and all seem OK... when I click on identify my laptop screen is 1 and the LCD is 2.
Can someone pls help :(
Was out in the yard at one of my clients. The Type R looks tiny compared - I can only imagine what my slammed 172 would look like next to those monsters!
BTW ... they have scarily big machinery on the other side [and I mean big!]
Look at that engine!
I started some Microsoft Updates - which was IE7 on my brand new Dell laptop. I restarted once finished.
It wouldnt boot XP!
Came up with :-

I currently have Orange broadband 1MB connection... 2GB Download capped... £17.99 a month.
So obviously I need to sort something out!
I have just ordered a new laptop [already have a laptop and desktop] so I am going to create a mini local wireless network.

I posted this in someone elses thread but decided to create one for myself.
I dont use my 172 much but when I have recently I get in turn the ignition and the fan blows OK and does so as normal.

I need to get the main connector for the drivers side airbag so that I can slip some resistors in to turn off the airbag light.
I have tried the 2 x smaller connectors with no luck, so want to do it from the main connector.

I made sure they were light weight, the lavender will send my mind to my 'happy place' when on the track thus performing admirably! :approve:
Dont know which one to go for.....
.... I like the red on the plenum [like my CTR] - but also like the red cover.
Also what do you need to use to paint the plenum? will normal primer and paint suffice?
Have to do a search on how to remove it now ;)

Right.... The new decals arnt growing on me and I feel 'a little embarrassed' at how it looks!
I have already started taking the RENAULTsport decals off, I have taken the rear quarter Pistonheads black logo, and MucOff decals off.
But I am leaving the front Michelin and rear Pistonhead.com...

Before:-...
I have tried and tried to find a garage who will work on my cars tracking.... No one will touch it!
Yozzasport has done all the work so far - they have ultra low lifts.
Horizon motorsport has done my Elise and VX220... but they are miles away too!
So I managed to find Tower Garages on...
