[AlexW]

Not quite today, but yesterday.... Fixed this lot...

 

[Ocrlew]

Same yesterday Bought my car im back with the 182 lads, has 182, then went to tt then went to megane R26 then had to come back to the clio lots as missed it got a nice rb with cams and exhaust

 

[w33 brl]

Tax the ph1 and finally get to drive it

 

[Poopensharten]

Had xenons fitted to the Cup at the weekend! What a difference!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Ripped the rear speaker surround off to try and stop the fucker from rattling it's balls off. It's helped, but not completely solved up... maybe an upgrade in is order, any recommendations for rear speakers?

 

[Gambler]

Spent £700 passing the MOT :dapprove:

 

[Mr R.]

Bought these bits.

 

[Djw John]

Fitted a new battery and drive it for the first time in a week and a half. Been using my brothers dci65 whilst he's away apart from using the 225 for 1 day. I f**king love that wee car, especially when I've done 600 miles in the 65!

 

[Corby G]

Absolutely nothing. It's bloody pitch black by the time I get home from work. It infuriates me!

 

[MG cup]

Standardised my cup, tax it (£143 feckn pundets) and tomorrow I'll wash it before it goes to its new owner.

 

[Cobers182]

Fitted a sub/amp and headunit.

 

[Pat 182]

Wind deflectors and powerflex dogbone bushed :approve:

What parts did you need for the conversion Danny?

 

[Poopensharten]

What parts did you need for the conversion Danny?

Its plug and play, Nick. Ideally you need the ignitors/ballast/bulbs - failing that, you could use a HID kit if that stuff isn't available!

 

[Pistachio]

Oooh I wonder if that's what's causing the new rattle that has appeared in mine. I thought it was the parcel shelf so stuck some foam pads under it, but it didn't help

 

[Edges]

Aligned the headlights as I had one pointing at the floor and one at the sky.. Now both are level

 

[Pat 182]

RE after fitting powerflex dogbone bushes very pleased

Little vibration on start up and gearchange is much more solid big thumbs up

Cheers Pat

 

[Northy 8]

Where did you buy it from pat

 

[Charlie-silver172]

Yesterday I lost drive in all gears, so today I took the passenger side drive shaft off and it turned out to be the washer and circlip that sit in the diff

changed them and changed the gearbox oil... Should be okay but I'm not surprised if it goes again

 

[Cobers182]

I gave mine a very good clean ready for the winter today

 

[GW200]

Took my engine out!

 

[Josh107]

Page 172!

Just awaiting parts to change the rear discs, bearings and pads. Fingers crossed it goes okay, it's bin a while since I've done anything like this.

 

[MarcB]

Collected It & Drove It :clap:

 

[JonC219]

Got the geo set up :race:

 

[Harpham]

Cleaned it before it starts to rain.

 

[The Russian.]

Cleaned it before it starts to rain.

Dude, I've just realised I've not got shampoo so ordered more g-wash.

You've got my inlet soon to tidy your bay up and them badges.

Also picked up these

And to go with my black and red them in the engine bay

 

[Laine_16v]

Battery to boot relocation in anticipation for larger turbo.

 

[ed55j]

Gave it a good thrash down some very wet and muddy lanes, the ad08's dealt with the greasy conditions well.

 

[Feirny]

Fitted my scangauge and Parrot kit.

 

[Forge197]

New rear speakers fitted and fitted a parcel shelf with no speakers

 

[CrippsCorner]

What rear speakers did you get mate? I'm after some new ones and was going to post a thread asking for recommendations...

I put in a pair of Hertz DCX130 2-Way Car Coaxial Speakers, nice mid range sound, no deep bass but better than what was on the shelf, I am only powering them off the headunit, I run a JVC headunit standard fronts and these in the rear it's acceptable, it sounds much better than stock with this combo, not a competition winner but for our needs it's spot on.

 

[Charlie-silver172]

Absolutely destroyed my front p/s tyre

 

[Pistachio]

Stripped out the rear seats and boot, then drove along some flooded roads. No water has reappeared under the rear seats though, so I'm guessing it only happens when it rains.

Oh and also nearly crashed in to a 4x4 trailering a boat, who was going round a corner using both lanes. Shants were pat

 

[FLOBALOB]

Put mine into S&MWM to have cambelt/depaheser etc done.

 

[James23]

Changed injector 3 again, didn't fix it.. I'm thinking its the wiring so I need a new injector loom. Anyone know if just the injector loom can be changed or if its part of the whole engine loom?

 

[Edges]

Whole engine loom James, I recently changed mine twice.. Had to take it out and fix an earth when it didn't work then put it back in.. I'm now quite quick at that job haha it's not that hard really

If you've still got an LPG conversion on JB are your gas solenoid(s) piggy backing the ECU's injector trigger?

Check injector 3 has power first and then do a continuity check on the trigger line before going mental with a loom swap.

 

[Amberlamps]

Fitted new stubby aerial. Literally took 5 seconds.

Also had wheels laser aligned yesterday.
