I thought the forum was lacking E46 M3 threads :wink: I spent a long time looking for a high miles lateish car with good history. The thinking was the money saved on buying the car can go towards any subframe/vanos/smg issues. Most problems don't seem to be mileage related anyway. I was set...

I'm helping a mate put a Ferrari 355 engine in an S1 Elise with Exige bits. Need a fuel pump recommendation. The fuel rail doesn't have return like a phase 2, what do the Clio big turbo builds use? Needs to flow enough fuel for around 400bhp.

The 1.2 run around has died. Parked up nothing unusual then the next day refuses to start. Has spark and fuel to the rail. Fires on easy start which points to injectors. Tried a spare ecu (cheers Mick) with no change so I changed the top engine loom but it's still not going. Unsure where to...

Did my first ring laps on a trackday on the 14th. Best lap was my 6th lap a 9:16 that had rain, traffic and roadworks. Had a tussel with a 550bhp Monaro for the second half of the lap. Data says best lap would have been a 9:03, sub 9 mins is easily achievable.

Had the 182 on the dyno with the east mids lads and got a bit of a suspect result: Temp prob was placed behind the passenger headlight by the air filter. Is there anything with the dyno setup that could cause the result to be so high? The RPM syncing seems fine. The other cars got pretty...

I'm after some advice from those that know Donington well ( @Tony Hunter @Jay Payne @Big Ash @MicKPM 2Damnsly Andy ) and anyone else on where I can find some time. I did 3 laps in a row within a second of the one below so I'm thinking I reached my limit. Theres a few places I feel I could be...

Had a gearbox change at a normal garage as Mick couldn't fit me in before the Bedford trackday and they've ballsed up the steering column alignment. Something became disconnected in the car when dropping the subframe. When it's all back together the steering is 90 degrees out! I took it as...

Just back from an epic trip to spa with a stop off for an evening at Brands on the way back in a mates kit car. Loved the laid back atmosphere, no forms to fill in, stick cameras anywhere, its hot so short sleeves are fine... On the way: Arrived: Charlie Whiting's office: On track...

Anyone else tried the public beta? I don't like it. The thread previews are massive so you can only fit 4 on the screen and they've taken away the ability to watch YouTube vids at the bottom of the screen while still reading the thread. No positive changes from what I can see.

Has anyone got it to record 0-60 properly? Every time I try the timer doesnt stop. I'm doing all the calibrations as asked.

Bit of a strange one. My Mrs 1.2 16v is occasionally very hard to start. When its playing up it will turn over until you let go of the key then it will try to fire. After a few attempts it will start then be hesitant at low rpm until its warm with a bit of rev hunting for good measure. I've...

Does anyone know what the size of the bolt is that attaches the front seatbelt upper mounting point to the car? I'm guessing its 7/16th but is it UNF or UNC?

Finally got round to sorting my cruise control after fitting a new steering wheel. Used this mount - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/steering-wheel-bosses-accessories/sparco-steering-wheel-buttons and some extra buttons from ebay. I can do a guide if anyone is interested.

With a cliosport sticker in the rear window.

In car park 1. Blue non sport with Cliosport and K&N sticker, ive definitely seen it on here and a RB 182. Seen a couple of times at the gate 4 end.

Borrowed a camera from work so thought I'd take a few snaps. _DSC0311 by Ian_Suk, on Flickr _DSC0335 by Ian_Suk, on Flickr _DSC0329 by Ian_Suk, on Flickr The towing eye does get used (well it hasn't yet but it needs to be there!)

This is going to sound a bit weird.... ..but will trying to fit large people into my Suzukas damage them? (the seats not the people, I dont care about them). I imagine it will be uncomfortable but will flexing the seats damage them or the covering? They are the kevlar ones.

My car seems to be eating stats at the moment. When I bought it it needed a new one, that lasted nearly a year. The one I replaced that with has only lasted a couple of months. First one was from a local factors, second from euro car parts. Is getting one from renault the best option? How...

Me chasing EvilTwinKa at Bedford today, it was a bit cold! :dapprove: I was very impressed with the 200 and fair play to tracking a 2/3 month old car.

Got some no name rear pads from halfords for my 182. Tried to fit them yesterday, with the piston fully wound back there is not enough room for them, like there is too much braking material. There is also no nipple to locate into the piston, will this matter? Ive lost the receipt so it seems...

Fitted a new driveshaft tonight but the ABS ring was different, thinner so the sensor can only "see" half of the ring (everything else is fine). This thows up the ABS light and disables the ABS. I've heard that this will adjust the bias to 50:50 but it doesnt appear that way, the fronts lock way...

Im after a driveshaft from this car: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/54-plate-renault-clio-182-sport-breaking-spares-/350375330046?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5193ff40fe Can anyone identify if it has the chassis cup pack? I've rang him, its not got any wheels on, ive...

Now that these have been out a while has anyone used them on track? Im trying to decide on purely track tyres. I have 888's on at the moment but the R1R's can be had for £270 delivered from camskill in 15"

Noticed a noise at Bedford on monday. At first I thought it was the tyres rubbing but theres no evidence of this. After a few sessions I found grease on the inside of the front leftwheel, the cv boot clip had come off. I repacked it with grease and reattched the boot but the noise was still...

Awesome day at Bedford on the 24th, bit hot though! My fastest lap of the day - 3:05. No idea if this is quick or not :S g3Y1zZW7xiU

Hey, been lurking for a bit doing a lot of reading up. Bumped into a few members around Leicester, mainly waiting for the cheap super unleaded at sainsburys! Anyway onto the car: 54 plate black gold 182 with both cup packs Standard apart from Janspeed exhaust, Pipercross viper which both came...
