Finally got the s15 after months of patiently waiting (5 months to be precise from purchasing on Japanese auctions)
Picked the car up last Saturday, gave it a clean went for some photos with a mate and his dc5
A facelift 225 lux to be exact.
I'd done everything I wanted to my flame red Clio and decided it was time for a change so hunted for a megane for a while, originally wanted an r26 but the extra cost on insurance wasn't worth it. (I'm only 21)
So picked this one up on Tuesday and its in really...
I'm doing my own little project over the time I have spare, I've smoothed some 16v bullets of which I have bought some 2.0 16v stickers from n2grafix to lacquer over.
I've primed and painted a few layers of the base coat therefore I just need to apply clear coat. My question is do I need to...
My dad has two 18" wheels from his merc which need some repairs, one is buckled and the other is buckled and even has a crack in it, does anybody know of anywhere that will repair them and repaint/powdercoat?
May I add they aren't genuine mercedes wheels but some audi knock offs. (Bought As a...
I've bought an upper inlet manifold and had it powder coated so I can do a straight swap, removing the inlet seems easy enough although the only thing concerning me is the map sensor. I assume this is the one on the left of the inlet as you look at it?
I need to remove the map sensor from my...
As above just got some springs for my 172, before I went to a mechanic I thought id see if anyone wants to make Abit of extra cash and fit them for me?
Located in barnsley but will travel localish!

Had a few hours so have the car a good clean and took some photos as I haven't got any proper up to date ones.
Forgot to shampoo the drivers mat mind :(
Plans from now are to refurb the wheels and lower then leave be, got a leaky headlight washer to fix first though!
Just a quick one, I have the brake pedal fart as it seems to be named on here and would like to have a look at the suspected abs rings to see if they are the problem.
Where are they located? Can I jack the car up to be able to see them or does it need the wheel, discs removing?
Having problems with the oil and stop light coming on, it will flicker on then go off for a few minutes and then come on again etc.
I've owned the car for 5 weeks now and this has only happened on 2 days today been very wet and cold and I believe it was the same last time.
I checked the oil...
Sooo after dropping my z6 earlier the spray head shattered but thankfully didn't leak anything out but is no longer usable, the bottle is still intact and therefore wondering if anyone can link me to a new spray head that will fit the bottle neck?
Thanks
Three weeks ago I traded in my first car a 1.2 for a measley 800 with the coilovers wheels and spacers on, in just under two years it went from this:
To this!
Anyway after looking at insurance and checking I can afford it I made the punt and got a flame red 172.
2004 on a 53 plate...
It's a mk2 ph2 clio 1.2
I've just come back from Abit of spirited driving, came out 10 mins later unlocked the car and the alarm kept going off. It's like 30 second burst then 10 second stop and repeat blah blah.
ive disconnected the battery now and it has finally stopped but need some help or...
When i say detail it may not be upto everyone's standards but still a massive improvement!
anyway, after recently buying a das6 my dad wanted me to see if I could get rid of a few scuff marks, tree scratches etc so I went up yesterday and got an early start. The caddy seemed to be an ex rental...
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I've been paying for months for a subscription I don't use but can't cancel it through the Internet as when the account was first set up I typed my email wrong.
Can it be cancelled on the Xbox if I hook it back up to the Internet and what menus do I need to...
Seen this on the internet and thought I would share, not a bad looking car either, shame about the damage! Not sure if this has been posted but a quick search suggests not.

The simple solution would be to not have it loud but I would like to ignore that for now.
my headunit which is Sendai (don't ask it came with the car) turns itself off whenever the music is loud for whatever reason.
when I say turns itself off the HU still has power as it's lit up but restarts...
Not really updated my progress in a while but here goes.
The car had a quick clean today so I thought I'd show her off! Ill start off with the small bits I've done, after having a couple of minor bits nicked such as the stubby Aerial and the front badge.
a good upgrade for the front badge was...
I'm looking at buying a cup spoiler but the seller says there are some white clips broken on the bottom? Are these required to fix the spoiler firmly or will it cause problems?
He describes them as the popper clips which are commonly found on door cards etc
thanks
I've been cleaning my drivers seat which was caked in filth and water mark stains etc due to me in my workwear, however I've been using af verso diluted to clean them which I've had good progress.
Its taking a few hits of verso probably because of how dirty it is and the ingrained muck raising...
I started to get bored with the interior of the car and have always liked the alcantara/ suede effect so I took it upon myself to attempt it, since I have never done anything like this before I thought I've done a decent job!
the dash strips were previously carbon fibre wrapped which I got...
Does anyone recommend this?
Im looking at topping up some products and as this is a combined tar and iron remover I thought it work out cheaper than buying both seperate
thanks
After looking at insurance prices on what I could afford, I decided I was ready for a new car with more power. Without putting myself into a huff with money purchasing one, I decided the sensible option was to keep my 1.2 16v for a few month longer until I had saved some more and get it looking...
I have a 1.2 16v which for the first minute when the engine is cold, the car will hold back on acceleration an then suddenly give it? This only happens occasionally, any ideas?
I've had a search but can't find anything (probably due to my choice of vocabulary) but when the car is unlocked and the boot is opened, it doesn't realize it has so the boot light doesn't come on and the car locks itself again unless I open a door!
Any ideas?
The car has recently hit 60,000 miles (6000) in my ownership so I thought I would spend abit of money on it again! So I bought the following:
l.e.d sidelights
I also bought a few items to add to my detailing collection which are AG interior cleaner, autosmart highstyle, and also purchased a...
Parked on drive in wath, rotherham near sandy gate!
Silver ph1 sport with the grille sprayed black and what looks like red floral lace around the rear view mirror
I have a bad knocking which has been coming from the front right for a couple of week which only occurs when on rough road or going I've a bump to get on drive etc! I noticed yesterday that my front driver wheel is sat further back in the arch so the gap isn't symmetrical!
The car had a new...
