Just following on from the Evo Triangle thread here....its terrible when you have money sitting waiting but when you ask friends,garages for quotes and they either come back too high or just make you wait two or three days...grrrrrrr.
I know it's the same if you want anything booked in at our work, we are over flowing with potential jobs therefore prices have increased and some of the work seems to have been more selective

195/45/r16 or 205/45/r16 ? PS3's
have got 195 on at the moment but want a bit more protection round the rim I think.
what would you do? Its a 172 so I believe 195 is factory? 205 is standard for the 182 correct?

I remember you mate. Long time, no see. Just hope you don't have alternator issues like mine now has (and just after she's been unSORN'd, taxed, MOT'd and insured).

Defo. Fell out of love with her as had the diseasel for work. Spent time doing little bits to get the 182 sorted, than Mr. Taxman showed me some love with a rebate...so spent it on the car and random stuff. When I took the 182 to the test centre, I took it down a NSA road to get there...and floored it. Then it sparked me into realising that is missed her...so did everything to get her back on the road. Suspension feels boneshaking and interior feels ancient, but the engine feels as good as ever! ;)

Alrite bud not to bad thank you! How about you? Still in the Clio? Well... It is in a right s**t state if I'm honest! I was so busy doing other peoples cars I just lost love for mine and let it slip big time! Iv just started to sort all the interior out and Looking to get the front end re-sprayed in the new year! Apart from that it just needs a bit of time thrown at her and it will be mint again! Hopefully get our area back up as strong as it used to be!

I`m not much impressed with their customer service so far....they have had the car 3 full days now and nothing....not even a progress report.
