    Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Edition

    When people ask you what your dream car is, there's probably more than one. Well, thats my opinion anyway. For me, a 911 was one of those. And I did own a 996 for a bit. The other was a Lotus Elise. Somewhere deep in a box in my dads garage there's a photo of me sat in an S1 back when they...

    EBay “race or rally” wishbones

    Evening all. Spotted these on eBay a while back and interested if anyone’s tried them? Obviously would be HELL on the road but it’s a track only car. It’s that or the PMS bush/strengthening kit...

    Clio 172, 182 and V6 Sales Figures

    Good morning all! I've been doing some digging for an upcoming video for youtube, and figured maybe you guys would like this data too. I plan on doing a bit of a "definitive guide" to these cars given the amount of good/bad information available online. I had a memory some years ago of the...

    (Hopefully) the easiest Clio 182 Resto ever...

    So a week or two ago, I managed to secure my self a little run down shack to tit about with cars. I am a serial car buyer, and I think it was going to become a problem for my neighbours at some point (although, they've never once had a problem with it). Also, laying on my drive in the freezing...

    Another car gone, and one bought. X5 3.0d.

    I really really adored that E500 I bought off @Mr Trebus and I don’t really like X5s. So I sold the E500, went back to him and bought this X5 off him. Why? Well it came with this as a bundle January sale deal from Bristols 173rd best car salesman. So much more room for activities now...

    My first Mercedes is an estate with 300bhp

    Well I’m not sure how I ended up here. Actually, I do. I was looking for an excuse to get another car since I’m now only an VW up! GTI man, and thought “I know, I’ll make it an estate and call it a dog car!”. So the usual sub £10k suspects (mostly Audi S cars and the like) were littering my...

    Clio 200 for sale.

    Please remove if not allowed. A friend put his 200 up sale recently. I went to go have a quick blast in exchange for taking a few photos of it, its a very nice car. Gears are good, hes had the belts done at Beaniesport recently. Overall very honest. I thought I'd share it here in case anyone is...

    Megane 225 - 6,577 Miles from new - ACA

    My guilty pleasure is looking at a few of the chod-fiilled auctions when I'm bored. Anglia Car Auctions is always a good one! https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/sat-28th-29th-august/2005-renault-megane-sport-225-6-577-miles-from-new/ I always see insane low mileage cars like this...

    172 Intermittent Speedo

    Ah yes, the classic 172 intermittent speedo fault. Its a 2003/03 Car. Does that mean its the later gearbox and therefore doesnt have a speedo sensor on it? Easiest way to tell? And if it DOESNT Have a sensor, whats the next thing to check?

    Jasons sanctuary for abused 182's - Latest Arrival.

    I seem to have a bit of a thing for buying 182's, tidying them up a bit and then getting bored and selling them. So here's the latest purchase, may use it for some Trackdays when we can but equally my starter business is kicking off a bit faster than imagined so may just sell on. Got it blind...

    Microsoft Office Update - Now unable to open Apps.

    Morning all, Anyone fire up their PC today to find this? Followed by... It happens when I try to open any office applications. On startup I was told I needed to finish up setting up my device as well (as if I did a fresh install), so I assume it was a large update? I've so far tried: -...

    COD Cold War - Port Forwarding changed?

    Afternoon, Has anyone whos got the new COD (Cold War) got the port forwarding right? I did mine pretty much day one using these: https://portforward.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/ This worked up until last night, and now my NAT type has gone from "OPEN" to "Moderate" I have a static IP...

    I bought my dream car.

    And it’s just as shite as you’re all thinking. For at least 10 years I’ve looked, thought about it, backed out and dodged buying a 996. Since they were released when I was an impressionable age, something about their ugly headlights and rounded 90s features drew me in. I imagine “Tina” from...

    182 - Rear View Mirror Removal.

    I've bought a new rear view/interior mirror to replace the wavey one in my 182. Only problem is, I cant get the old one off! 17 year old Jason broke a windscreen on a car doing this, so im a bit wary. It would appear that the mirror+Mount slide up off the windscreen, but theres a rain sensor...

    Why is buying a 172/182 so hard?

    Maybe I’m just a miserable b*****d. Maybe it’s because I’m looking to buy my 2nd 182 in as many months... but the market for these cars is just full of bottom feeders. Id like to preface this with the fact people selling them on here seem to be alright, messaged about a few recently and had...

    Blower Fan squealing at higher speeds

    The blower fan is making quite a squeel at higher speeds! Sometimes hitting a bump shuts it up a bit, so I would assume theres a naff bearing in there somewhere. Easy to remove, strip down and fix or?

    BG 182, tidy up!

    Guess I best start a proper thread for the 182 I bought last week. I wanted some cheap fun for the summer, mostly for trackdays as the M2 is a bit to expensive to really enjoy on a track! 2 weeks prior I bought an MG ZT, then proceeded to track it and sell it for a profit. With that profit I...

    10 years later, I'm back. Clio 182.

    Yeah thats right. It was about 10 years ago I sold my first car, a 2009 Clio GT. I've wanted a little 172/182 ever since! Finally, I ran out of excuses not to buy one and.... It needs belts, a rear silencer and all 4 wheels refurbing for a start. It also has some dodgy bits of bodywork here...

    Japan 2020 - car stuff.

    Since I'm deciding to get active on these forums again, I thought I'd share some images from my Pre-Lockdown Trip to Japan. Given the catagory of forum I'm posting in, I guess its best to stick to the car themed stuff I managed to cram in the two weeks we were out there. When I say pre...

    M2 Competition

    I havent posted on here on a while, and whilst WFH I feel a little Forum posting renaissance coming along. Since selling the slut of the R56 Mini world, and giving back the MK7.5 Golf GTI Lease car, I have moved on. Last September I picked up my first brand new car purchase, discounting the...

    R56 Cooper S JCW - You may recognise...

    I made a promise to myself that I'd buy no new cars in 2019, after the Boxster I decided 2 cars is enough and I really should grow up a bit. So here's the car I bought a couple weeks back. A 2009 John Cooper Works, very much "Track" spec. I've been wanting something track focused for years...

    Caffeine & Machine - Opening Gathering.

    A few months back I was introduced to a chap who was building something rather cool for our petrolheads, I'd been following his endeavours out in Dubai and was excited to see what was going to be made of it over here. As it turns out, Caffeine and Machines new HQ is quite an ambitious project...

    Another Sunday Scramble...

    But this time, I took more pictures... like, 20? For those that don't know, the Sunday Scramble event at Bicester Heritage has massively grown in popularity over the past couple of years. As an unfortunate child of a Bicester myself, it's great to see something so great very local. And for me...

    Luftgekült - Air Cooled Porsche content.

    A US based outfit doing awesome meet ups with air cooled Porsches decided to have their first UK event across the road from my flat, which was nice. I wandered over, got soaked, took some pics. DSC_0507 by Jason.Easton, on Flickr DSC_0446 by Jason.Easton, on Flickr DSC_0475 by Jason.Easton...

    986 Boxster S - Summer stupid purchase

    A few weeks back I decided to sell the M3. I absolutely loved it, and it was such a mint example. However, it wasnt being used enough and it was a lot of money to have sat there. So I sold it last Saturday. And on Sunday, I went and got this. So much for not replacing it... DSC_0414 by...

    Dat Lease Life - 2017 Golf GTI.

    Another Jason "New car thread". I got a little tired of driving old shitters to and from work, and a little tempted by these lol lease deals you see flying around. One thing sort of led to another, and after a few months wait, I took delivery of this: MK7.5 Golf GTI, 5 Door, "Rubin Black"...

    '86 MK2 Golf GTI - Resto job.

    Working long hours and trying to get a start up business off the ground is doing some very weird things to my mind. I often find my ebay watch list looking quite eclectic, last week it had a Renault Avantime and about 3 Sega Master Systems in it. This week, it had a lot of MK2 Golfs. You see...

    Classics & Cake - The Duke of London

    A small gathering of interesting stuff at "The Duke of London". The company itself specialising in selling a fantastically diverse range of cars, they've recently moved to a bigger place and this is the first "Classics & Cake" event held there. I took some pictures, here they are. From what I...

    E92 BMW M3 - A slight upgrade.

    So for those who know me, I have been banging on about how great my little GT86 is since I bought it back in September 2015. So why then have I I just traded it in for this? (Apologies for shitty iPhone pics) Untitled by Jason.Easton, on Flickr Well, there are about 414 good reasons laying...

    VolvoSport - Shed content.

    Since this is one of the only forums I bother looking at anymore, and just happens to have the largest collections of Volvos, I thought I'd share a full thread of my latest acquisition with you lot. So if you look into my deepest, darkest history on here you'll see I have a Toyota GT86. And...
