What have you done to your car today ???

[wilja]

Replaced the front discs and pads ready for Bedford Autodrome next weekend. Removed the front fogs too to help brake cooling.

 

[Alexiooo]

Painted my calipers to make them look a bit better, pretty chuffed with how they came out, except for the fact that noticed that my CV boot has gone and thrown grease inside my wheel!

 

[Andybluenoes]

Fitted new discs and pads all round.
Replaced the knackered headlamp squirter.
Retrieved the sidelight bulb I managed to push into the light unit!

 

[Mr Plums]

Washed it, hoovered and cleaned the interior and applied leather restorer to the seats.

 

[MarkCup]

Today I 'sold' mine. 10 weeks and it'll be gone. Happy days.

 

[Kyle 86]

Fitted some infinity front door speakers

 

[Simon_16v]

Put a deposit down on my first 182

Out of curiosity, what leather restorer did you use?

I used autoglym leather care balm mate, it does the trick but im sure there are better ones out there.

 

[JBC27]

Replaced the badly painted inlet plennum with a nice matt black effort with the letters sanded back to bare metal. Also cleaned the throttle body and other sensors, cleaned the airbox and filter out, washed and SRP'd the car, auto finessed the trim so it looks black for 5mins and put gtechniq on all the glass except the rear windows.

Also noticed the lacquer on the spoiler is coming away so looking for a new flame red spoiler if anyones got one going

Cheers bud - could do with bringing mine back to life, ill see what the search function brings up

 

[JBC27]

Oh and a couple of weeks ago I put in PMS solid top mounts and strut brace (which meant the engine cover didn't fit any more so had to sort the paint job on the inlet manifold (or is it plennum i dunno). Also had the washer bottle out last weekend to replace the washer pump and had to silicone up the hole where the pump goes into the washer bottle as it had split. Whiteline arb in the next week or so :0)

Inlets look 10x better buddy, that red was atrocious! Nice effort

 

[JBC27]

While i'm thinking about it. Sat on the drivers seat with a screw driver in my back pocket and snagged the material. Short of buying a second hand seat how do you patch the holey suade like material up?

 

[JBC27]

Lol cheers I did the red myself which is embarrassing. Think the engine was still warm (no patience). Didn't lool too bad with the cover on, but saw that engine bay thread and love the matt black look. Think all the trim is gonna have to come off for some satin black attention over the summer.

[MatthewR]

Washed it twice! A bird s**t all over it this afternoon so it had to be done again!

 

[Andybluenoes]

Replaced windscreen and headlight washer pumps.
Only to find there's a leak somewhere in the pipe between the headlight jets!

So pump disabled and pipe clamped near the pump to stop the wonderful syphon action!

Proper fix can wait until the bumper is next off!

 

[tom172cup]

Oil and filter change. Couldn't believe how thick and black it was

 

[Kyle 86]

Gave my headlights a quick T-Cutting, defo a bit better

 

[tom172w]

Fitted spring and balljoint, got an mot done and 6 months tax. Ready to be either sold or driven, not sure yet. Then this aft I fitted a new exhaust to my mums bmw. Blood, sweat and tears went into that one.

 

[mitch1503]

That'd add a nice finishing touch wish I had the patience to clean up my engine bay

 

[mad in general]

Monday the Clio was in for its MOT.

Watched the fellow at work and all passed with no advisories!

​Fantastic

 

[The Fatty]

Put a ramair filter on... sounds awesome!

Cheers fella. Have to say the plennum/upper inlet was a piece of cake. Had a spare which meant there was no need to rush. Halfords vht matt black and gave it about 3 coats. Waited a day then took to the lettering with some 120 grit then 800 grit and it's come up lovely. Swapping it out was easy (used the ktec video on their website for the itb install as it shows all the steps you need) and bobs your uncle. What i'd really like is a brand spanking new header tank and brake fluid reservoir as they look rubbish no matter what you do to clean them and the header has all those tide marks on the inside. Then again I'm the only one who ever sees in my engine bay so why bother init. Exterior trim is defo next after the arb is on.

 

[mitch1503]

[CJGREEN]

Removed more parts and reduced the price yet again... Nobody interested other than one guy offering silly low money.

 

[jme_159]

Not so much what I have done... but what one b*****rd bird has done!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Phoned Fred at BTM about what to do.....WHAT TO DO????? And decided not to do what he was going to do

[stann01]

changed both rear discs as bearings fooked + took some skin off finger

 

[Feates172]

changed both rear discs as bearings fooked + took some skin off finger

Fit the rear disc spacers? Normally the cause of wheel bearing issues
