Hi All
Been a while! Me and a few mates are heading to pod on Saturday 8th April to a "Run what ya brung" event.
£10 General admission
£25 sign on fee if running up the strip.
(Driving license needed to sign on)
Looking to get there around 9am ish ready for strip to open at 9:30am.
Be good...
Decided against getting the 18" cup wheels and had the standard 17" version powdercoated and protected with Cquartz dlux. Just needs lowering a tad. Also had the silver side strips painted gloss black.
Been a while since ive been on here. Owned a couple of months now and love it, although i do miss the 182.
Recently put a superchips bluefin map on it, which has changed the car massively.....
Fancied a colour change (mid life crisis lol) on the superleggeras.
so to help decide on colours i cracked the spray paint out ! Not looking too bad just 3 more to do.
Bolted the 197 brembos on today to see what spacers i need.
280mm setup with brackets from chris powell
Mintex 1144 pads
Green HEL lines
Stainless pins and R clips.
Just need 16mm spacers and stud conversion
Few pics.
Been a fair bit since i put any pics on here. Things have changed a little over the last two years.
Got rid of the 16" superleggeras and got 15 " superleggeras.
Fitted one of them ebay cages ( hate away lol) with spreader plates not just bolted to the floor like i have seen recently. Oh and...

Hi
This is my Review of the new improved imperial wheel cleaner.
Opened the box to be greeted by a lovely smell of bubblgum thought to myself i could just drink that, then realised it was the air freshener in the bottom of the box. thanks Auto Finesse.
So was given a bottle of the newly...

Hi
After the success of the RRday in March this year at Viezu in Bromsgrove we had 20+ cars run that day. With a great mix of cars from 172/182 to turbo Clio’s, s2000, EVO, typeR, Metros, Escort Cosworth and so on.
So a great day we had!
I have been asked by a fair few people when is the...

Had my gearbox rebuilt on thursday at Agency transmissions had all bearings seals and pinion shaft replaced.
Bit of a retarded question but does the box need a run in period or can i just give it death? ;)
Thanks in advance
Thanks Auto finesse for the latest product test.
Never really used any kind of trim restorer/dessing but by god some parts of the 182 needed it.
Revive has a similar smell to tripple i found and one pea sized blob on an applicator goes along way. It leaves a very glossy wet look to plastic...
Odd one.
Car has had full alignment a few times over the past 4 years of ownership. Nothing untoward has ever shown up and only ever needed the smallest of adjustment.
Now last week i replaced all four shocks, top mounts and (more castor) wishbones. I then strung the car out and had a crack at...
