    Steering assist adjuster

    Hey guys, has anyone fitted an adjuster for the electric steering assist? I know some of the ph2 boys have done it in the past with different racks and I noticed you can actually buy an adjuster but will need it coding or something? Basically I'm after some advice on if it's worth it, cost Vs...

    Stainless cam cover bolts?

    Hey all, I'm thinking of making some nice bolts for the cam cover on the CNC machine at work, only problem is I'm unsure if stainless is a suitable material, as it has different strength properties to mild steel. Does anyone know if they'll be suitable or should I just stick with mild and...

    CNC parts ideas

    Hey guys, I've recently started a new job with access to a lathe, milling machine and a fancy CNC machine, my question is what parts could I make? I'm already looking at making some caliper pins (for myself, I don't want to step on any toes) possibly an alarm bracket and a maf bracket (with a...

    Oem radiator support alternative

    I will be needing to replace my radiator support due to corrosion in the near future, I know trying to get hold of a genuine one is a ballache but I saw the Wheeler Motorsport one which doesn't have the rear legs and also states that it's not for road use. My question is why can't it be used...

    Nimbus wheel colour

    Hey all, I've recently acquired a set of silverstones as a temporary replacement for the 197 wheels, (for sale, buy them!) Although I don't mind silver I've been toying with spraying them a different colour. My main choice is gold, possibly white. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to go white...

    Stainless engine bay bolts

    Hey all, Before I go removing and measuring every bolt in the engine bay, Is there anywhere to buy a set of stainless engine bay bolts for the 197? Failing that does anyone have or know of a fairly decent list of the bolts in the engine bay?

    Replacing front bumper bracket?

    Hey all, I've just removed the front bumper on the 197 and as predicted both bolts that go into the wing were beyond saving and snapped. Question is, can you replace the bracket that they bolt to? It looks like it may be removable but I'd like to see if it's been done or can be. Part numbers...

    It's good to be back...

    So after a long break from actual fun cars I'm back in a 197, I've been lurking for a few weeks looking for cars and ended up with a nimbus 197. I've had a few cars since my last 197 and my most recent is an e46 330ci (in the pics) but I don't find it as fun to drive as the clios, don't get me...

    Drivers window playing up!

    Hey guys, my drivers window only goes down by an inch or two before stopping and then having to press the button again, and repeat to get it all the way up or down. I've heard about a reset by pulling both buttons up on the drivers side for a few seconds but this hasn't worked. Any ideas...

    Hey guys, I'm looking st getting a straight through center section for my exhaust, From the pics I've seen, it doesn't appear to have a fitting for the second lambda. On my 172 cup I had the same issue but I just zip tied a sandwhich bag over it and zip tied it out of the way, I know it's the...

    Things I like

    Just like the other thread, but for things you like. It can be anything at all.... I like the fact that I'm finally in a position where I enjoy working on my car again. Having audis, bmws, mazdas etc has been a 100% hate relationship when it comes to working on them. Renault is the way...

    Alternative to standard inlet

    Hey guys, I've been thinking and scouring the net since I got the 197 and I can't seem to find any alternate inlets for the mk3. Something along the lines of an RS2 inlet is what I'm after. I know the RS2 won't fit due to port differences etc but surely there's someone out there that's done...

    Rear lights very dim!

    Hey guys, My rear lights are really dim. The high level light might as well not have a bulb in, and the indicators are dire. Side and brake lights are acceptable but compared to every other car on the road they're light candles in jam jars. I did notice that there is what I'm guessing is an...

    Wiring cornering lights to full beam?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has hard wired the cornering lights to come on with the full beam? My main concern is it taking power away from the full beam, if they do then I would have thought that having half the voltage distributed evenly between the two bulbs would effectively give...
