O forgot to say the owner a car nut too he had a rc developments tuned legacy when i last saw him.

A garage i worked at used them and they were all good jobs they did for us.

Ive a 172 cup and no reliability issues only build quality and routine parts i.e tyres, pads and shocks. At the garage it unusual for a broken down renault to come in other than servicing and wear and tear items.

Alot of smart repair companies build up the scrapes etc with a gel at .5mm layer at a time and spray with a activator, doesnt vibrate out and sands to a perfect finish, each layer takes approx 60 seconds to go hard and ready to sand.

Ive replaced the proxes with these on the front (our garage supplier doesnt do toyo unfortunatelly) they are as good as any for my needs, plenty of grip, good in the wet and warm up nicely, cant say much bad about them but i personally felt the proxes gave a bit more feedback but they only...

great vids, made me briefly want to move back home again lol

mine did it until put new tyres on and it spot on, the old tyres were 6mm on o/s/f and 4mm on n/s/f and was terrible.

above 250 sec what you shooting a f1 car. 1st time out auto mode will be plenty, shutter priority only needed when shooting moving objects i.e. motorsport events and even then you dont need a shutter above 1/320 sec. Auto will adjust ISO but if it a nice clear day and you playing with the...

230+ bhp from a 130 tdi engine not even vw motorsport can get that when they rallied one of those engines in the golf and 500 lb + torque on standard gearbox and shaft will leave alot of cleaning up of metal bits after it exploded.

I hope so he bought the magnex off me as had it on my cup and he kicked off saying it wrong 1 etc and wont fit so i said id do it but dont want look at fool lol. I know it will fit as both our cars came from same garage and only 1 week difference on the reg date.

On the standard cat it has a flange with a sleeve it well mine has, does that still remain when you remove the standard system or do you have to make the sleeve for the magnex mid section to slide over?

Got a friend who im fitting a magnex system to his 172 cup, what modifications do i have to do i.e. sleeve at join to the cat do i have to do in order for it to fit? im doing it thursday so hopefully trying to save time i looked at my system but mines already been done.

The simple solution is to remove approx 1mm when machining the sleeve section that sits inside the rubber then will still allow a slight arc when the struts rotate and does not rub on the rubber, mine has worn the rubber section away leaving metal to metal rubbing so got another set of topmounts.

I know exactly what you mean i run a garage but i been caught out on some of my own purchases, garage excuse is that it is a used car so you have to expect some marks, try the garage, whats the worst they can say is no if no joy bite the bullet and get it repaired thenyou will be happier with car.

If the car was sold with scrathc from a bump, bumper out alligment and a droopy exhaust as it does not affect the operation of the car in anyway whatsoever then a garage does not have to put it right, if the damage wasnt there when you looked at it and signed the order form then when you came...

Or save money and shorten the original and u can then fit a caf to it
