    Agreed, RX7 was the last decent rex - and sod using one as a daily.

    Another *What car next* thread.

    I have to say - spending time looking at 'prezas on StanceWorks / Fatlace / Hellaflush makes me want one. After further research - discounted the MK1 Focus RS, as Ford no longer supply parts, so sourcing new parts costs ridiculous money, as does servicing - also typical rust issues. Also...

    Another *What car next* thread.

    After buying the 197 last August and spending a fair bit on tyres / belts service / brakes - i've decided that it just isn't 'special' enough to justify its running costs and so i'm looking at buying a car around December of this year as a way of an upgrade. I don't really have any definite...

    Insurance Tips (£186 for me this year, woohoo!)

    I'm not too fussed, as i'm paying £970 this year anyway so i've budgeted for it, but obviously i'd prefer it to be below £500 like a fair few on here pay. Next year I don't have to declare the total loss anyway - should see a drop. Annoying thing is an R26 costs the same to insure. Tempted...

    Insurance Tips (£186 for me this year, woohoo!)

    I need SDP + C to one place of work Mileage of circa 10k Parked on a driveway in a good postcode. Actually more expensive to insure this car then it was my Revo Stage 1 Ibiza Cupra running circa 210 bhp with all mods declared, and my Clio 172 Cup again with all mods declared (before I...

    Black wheel bolts

    I wire bushed the originals down, cleaned with IPA and painted with 2 coats if black acrylic paint - so far survived being cleaned at least once a week and removed multiple times for the last couple of months. Just a suggestion. The one on the right's done here (And yes i'm aware the wheels...

    Front brake judder?

    Wheels are on tight, all checked after 20 odd miles too, still nice and tight. More fault finding I guess, wheel bearing I can check myself (I think), CV joint, possibly take it in to Renault. Cheers Anthony.

    Front brake judder?

    Well I thought it was sorted - obviously not:nope: While the brake judder has gone and it now brakes straight and true, i've noticed something that is either me being paranoid or is another problem to resolve. When driving at all times, I swear I can feel far more road vibration through...

    A few photos of my old discs ....

    After suffering very acute brake judder (most apparent at 70 - 80mph) on a 57 plate car with 40k and what I think were the original discs, I decided to replace the discs and pads as the first course of action. Pads look ok, still have life in them (the chips and indentations were me using the...

    What does it feel like

    Same as mine tbh. I'm going to wait until it goes totally or gets significantly worse before taking it to my local stealers and pushing RUK for a significant contribution.
