Spotted around 6pm. You drove past me at the traffic lights as I was waiting to go towards Wollaton. I clocked the CS sticker in the rear window so I thought I'd put a thread up. Saw you the other morning as well going the opposite direction.

As above. It's not unlocked or fiddled with in any way. Just wondering what they go for, as I no longer need mine. I've done a search but prices appear to be quite varied. I've seen a couple go for £50 and a couple for £200?

I've just got my car back after leaving it with K-Tec for a couple of weeks. Basically, I wanted my DBW throttle back because I was getting a little fed up of the throttle cable sticking, as well as the other little quirks you get with a Ph1 TB (sticking, funny idle, etc). I also had an...

As above. I've just purchased a Firewire 800 external Blu-Ray drive and was looking for some decent ripping software for OS 10.6. Ideally I'd like something that can rip and convert straight from the Blu-Ray disc or a BMDV folder into MKV format. I've Googled already but the results are much...

:)

Just thought I'd wish all the CS techies a happy SysAdmin day :) http://www.sysadminday.com/

OK, so I'm getting ready for new disks and pads all round. However, I've looked at how much material is on each pad and there's a noticeable difference between the two front pads. The front passenger side pads have about ¾cm of material left on them but the driver's side pads only have about ¼cm...

Spotted it parked up as I nipped to the cash machine at around 2:30pm yesterday. FL55 KZV IIRC. Didn't see any CS livery on it but I figured there's a high chance it's someone off here?

Spotted you parked up at the end of my drug dealer's street. Has a K-Tec sticker in the back window and is sat on OZ F1's (IIRC). Looked very smart :)

Will be ordering an MBP today and wondered what peoples' opinions of the available screen options are? I've seen the glossy and antiglare (matte) screens side by side and the glossy definitely looks a lot better. Blacks are much deeper and to me the glare didn't look too bad. However, I've...

Saw it parked at the side of Next on St. Peter's retail park. Anyone off here? I've seen it around quite a few times now.

Parked up on a driveway on Woodhouse Road / Main Street (can't remember which) around lunch time. CS sticker in the back window. Didn't see the reg, I was driving too fast. Who be you?

Passed you just after the train bridge. Anyone?

I got a quote from Adrian Flux yesterday ~ £930 fully comp! That's almost £150 more than I currently pay, and yet I'll have accumulated an extra years NCB. As a result I politely declined their offer. I then got a text message to my phone around an hour later saying they could insure it for £794...

Spotted driving towards Ilkeston / Stapleford. Didn't catch the reg, but it looked really nice and clean. Anyone off here?

So... who does the best deals on 4 pot kits? I'm not bothered about make as long as they're decent quality and come with braided lines for the front. Also as much info on what disk / pad options are available would be useful and might help me make my final decision. And before anyone starts...

Has anyone fitted the V6 / Trophy spoiler to an Iceberg 172? Or even a Titanium 182? If so, pics? I like the look of them and I might be able to get one cheap, but I'd like to know what it looks like on the car first before I splash out. I could just get a cup spoiler which I may end up doing...

Anyone got any suggestions as to what I could use to clear the heavy soot deposits off the lip of my tailpipe? I'm talking about a year and half's worth. So far I've used various products which did the sum total of sod all. I then tried vinegar and brown sauce which has gotten most of it off...

I've done a search but can't find the answer I'm looking for... Can anyone tell me what the EXACT percentage of transmission loss on a 172 is? My car will be RR'd again soon and I want to calculate the flywheel power from the ATW figure without relying on the "rough estimate" figure that's fed...

Yesterday in Ben_Stevo172's project thread there was suggestion of a Boosted / ITB'd Clio "Shootout" meet. I emailed the editor of Performance French Car magazine, as suggested, and have received the following response: So they are interested in covering it. We may have to take the photos...

...is fookin' brilliant. As I'm not at work and didn't have much to do today I decided to spend a bit of time on the car. So far I've: Topped up the oil Topped up the washer jet fluid Checked all other fluid levels Fitted rear silvervisions Sorted my tyre pressures Removed the back seats...

I had the windows down in my car yesterday while chatting to a mate and realised just how horrible and tappy the engine sounds on idle and at low revs. I decided to put the sound proofing back under the bonnet lid and it's amazing how much better it sounds. Has anyone else done this? Or is it...

OK. I've done a search but haven't really found enough opinions on this... After the recent work done to my car, I've come to realise over the last couple of days that I'd be a complete tw@t not to do something about my standard brakes. Now I read somewhere on the forum a while ago about the...

S20 CUP - Blue 172 cup being towed on a trailer. R14 PLY - Ginger 182 cup with a blonde bird driving. Flamer 172 - can't remember the reg. All at around 18:50 I think. Also spotted a Titanium 182 - S17 TVE which I followed up the M1.

At around 14:30 this afternoon. Who was it? Had CS stickers on the side and back windows and an aftermarket exhaust. I nodded at you and you flashed me as I came off at J26.

Went to K-Tec today to get my car back. Only took one pic so far but thought I'd share it with you, and add further pics to the thread tomorrow when I've done a few bits and bobs with it. Here's the only one I've got at the minute: At the moment it's running a safe map to bed the engine...

Driving past B&Q as I pulled out of the King and Miller car park. Anyone off here? Blonde haired guy driving.

Anyone off here? Went to pick a couple of rubies up and spotted you parked outside Modhu Mitha. Car looked sweet - still had the Cup badges on the door pillars. You need clear side repeaters though ;)

I'm not into extreme / silly mods and I want to keep my car looking fairly standard, however I do like a few subtle bits and bobs. One of the things I want to do is get the windows tinted to make it harder to see into and improve its looks a bit. I don't want to go over the top and have them...

Right folks, can anyone help me? I've done a search but not found anything specific to this.... Basically, I was driving home earlier doing about 60 in 5th. I dropped down to 3rd to overtake another car when I got to a straight bit of road. I felt a clunk and my engine has been rattling really...
