quote: dave is that your second steering wheel melting? :Shock Nah, i bought it like that, 1st one was knackered though lol. Tbh, i cant see why people have problems, it certainly hasnt got worse since ive had it, just poor care by owners me thinks ... Mab: speedo idea was thought of, but id lose use of the trip computer/more warning lights so it was a no-go  ________________________________________ TEAM: 182 Trophy & ITB'd 3 Series |

The Garage i got mine from won't replace it under warranty either  Cant believe i missed this thread  nice to see what other people are doing, What Coilies are you going to be fitting Dave?________________________________________ RIP Pete Sims |

Yup, the standard steering wheels are truly pants!! I think your right though, the early 172's dont seem to be as affected, the one ive got on there now is a completely different material to my original one  Mind you, K-Tec do a nice refurb in leather/carbon fibre now ...Coilover wise, id love some AST's/H&R's, etc, but i really dont see the point in spending that much on suspension for a clio ... would rather sell it and spend the extra grand on running an Evo lol. There's a groupbuy for FK Highsports on at the moment for ________________________________________ TEAM: 182 Trophy & ITB'd 3 Series |

Think i'l probrably end up with some GAZ coilies, I looked at the highsport group buy but they wont fit mine because of the hub spacing. Like yourself i cant see much point spending almost 1k on a suspension setup either.I think the GAZ gold ones (circa ________________________________________ RIP Pete Sims |
