Maz: I cant see that link in my mails, I could be wrong.............
It still does not detract from the fact that in previous mails to myself you stated that "Its had a full rebuild and that they did a top job" when they quite clearly did not!.
I am not out to linch you I just dont want...
I agree, but when I first saw this thread about how is engine is broke and then thought he was trying to pass that on to me saying it was Mint it just made my blood boil so thats why I posted my comments.
I didnt want any other forum members to get stung in possibly the same way I could of...
Originally from the emails comunications I thought you was a tidy honest guy, how wrong was i!!
Here is just one of the said emails from Maz:
"its a 52plate, late 2002 172 cup

Oh Maz! I just spotted this thread and thought I would have a read and god I am glad I did.
Last week I had my RB 182 Cup advertised for sale and said I would take lower value 172 in P/X and you emailed me asking if I would take your 172 Cup as part exchange and I was interested so we exchanged...
Way too low for me that.
I'd knock the sump off mine if it was that low on the roads around by me.
lowered -30mm max on a 1*2 for me, I am boring though! lol
Good review mate,
I realy like the look of the new Twingo 133, my neighbour has a black Cup and I must say it lookas the part, especially in comparison with a sporty Citreon C2 etc.
Never driven a 200 and when they first come out I couldnt stand the look of them but the more I see they are...
Nah I think that it was definately a 182, well it has anthrite cup alloys, standard silver seat belts and standard 182 exhaust,lol.
Well I just go straight to work (Linde HTD in Pentrebach) and back home in Blackwood apart from Tuesday nights were I go to Merthyr College other than that I dont...
Seen a few times recently, I work in Merthyr.
Saw today on Pentrbach roundabout at around 1pm, was looking real clean fair play
I was in my RB 182.

I use Dodo juice Sour power, smells so nice and seems to last for ages as its consentrated.
Appears to give the paintwork a nice glossy finish after washing too :D
Ah yeh I saw your exhaust in a thread, looked like it was manufactured to a high standard, good quality. Especially with the slash tailpipes, really suits the contour of the rear bumper.
Ive been looking at a second hand GDI / Piper exhaust but I ve told myself that i am not going to spend...
Cheers, I gave it a good clean on the weekend, bit of a winter prep as such,

I only just noticed you this morning I was in full zombie mode, half asleep,lol.
Even though I love My RB, seeing your Trophy on my way...
Cheers, I will try that. I wish that I had taken some pic's yesterday as it looks far better in the sunlight.
I might try some new products so if anyone knows of a particular wax or polish that in their opinion works well on Racing blue I would like to know.
Thansk for all the feedback so far...
I dont know a lot but I agree, I have only recently really got into detailing by reading about techniques and products etc but I have always kept my cars clean over the years and been Using SRP on its own for the past 6 years and its always delivered good results in my opinion.
I wouldnt have a...
nope I ahve not got a machine polisher (Thinking of buying one) so I was all applied by hand.
What is a good or better subsitute for SRP?
At a reasonable price ;)
Cheers! :D I will save my energy with regards to the layering then, Just thought that how you do it.
All feedback welcome (Pos or neg).
Yeh does rain a fair bit in Wales but like you say at least its clean mountain valley rain ;) lol
