OK so I know this may be a stupid question to ask here and I think I already know the answer, but you have to respect the R5 for what it is.
BAsically a mate and I are buying a project car to have a bit of fun with, the idea is to make it REALLY quick and keep it relatively standard, we would...
My mate wants to buy a mk2 ph1 172 that he's found on sunday. its an absolute minter btno one will even touch him for insurance he's 20 and got 2 years no claims. Anyone got any ideas of insurance companys that might help? Also what faults should he be looking for when he looks at it? I know the...
You shouldn't need longer bolts with only a 5mm spacer mate but just check to see how many turns your getting. If its three at least then they should be fine.
Honestly though mate I wouldnt touch spacers. It weakens the strength of the wheels because your moving them off the hub. I work at...
Seems like Ill actually get better mpg on a motorway run than I do now. As I said before my insurance is more than affordable. Im currently paying £799 on the 1.4 with three years no claims. I spoke to my insurance company the other day and if I update my policy to a 172 they've said it'll...
As my title suggests I am very much toying with the idea of trading my car in and buying a 172. Ive just turned 21 and my insurance has dropped to a very reasonable price on one and I have the cash to buy one. It seems like an obvious choice but...
Im a student and I do an awful lot of...
Do you not think it was worth it though mate? I spent alot on my first car a corsa b and I think it looked great judge for yourself:

But more to the point I got so much enjoyment spending time doing up my car with my mates and spending nights till the early hours fitting stuff...
Its definately an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Its the 'baby' aston much smaller and more attractive than the Vanquish but has a few less cylinders! obviously!
You've showed us yours so heres mine! Only fair. Not quite that gorgeous V6 though!

I bought one from Renault but you have to buy all four bolts at the same time so its fairly expensive. If you don't care about damaging the centre cap then you can get them off by using a punch and a small hammer. does the job pretty well actually.

Ive just fitted a set of 16s with 195/45/16 tyres on my 1.4 mk2 ph2.
They look good and the car sits right. They wont scrub because if you go for a bigger wheel you just need to get a lower profile tyre so your rolling radius is the same as standard. ie - both old and new wheels with tyres will...
Want to get it all colour coded and get a set of Subways 'sport-a-like skirts' and possibly get the windows tinted but I think that'll be about it for this one. Went mad on the last and it bored me in the end.
I fitted these today. I know there not to everyones taste but at least there individual!

I'm really struggling to pick a new set of wheels for my mk2 ph2. As title suggests im wondering if anyone has pictures of wheels on monaco blue mk2 ph2s.
really like the cup wheels can I get these from renault? how much are they and will they fit my dynamique?
I really need some...
I have recently put my corsa b body kit on ebay if anyone knows someone who is looking for one. Its in perfect condition as it has never been used. Its going cheap cos I need the space...
Does anyone know where you can get a decent wheel cover for a mk2 ph2. Or alternatively anyone who can do a retrim in leather/alacantra somewhere near beds?
help appreciated!
I think 40mm is probably a safe option. Ive noticed today that im running on 55 profile tyres as standard so that obviously helps it ride softly. It does feel a bit twitchy at high speed though.
Has anyone uprated their brake pads? I need some new ones and I was thinking of goiong for some...
