It is 3rd party :banghead:

you're shtting us, yeah?

If not, you are, certifiably, a remedial.

At 18 I had a Corsa 1.5d (no turbo) and I ran that for 5 years (fully comp) with no crashes or endorsements.

so, at 21 I had 3 years faultless record and could get myself a V6 coupe for £800 a year.

Y'know, I could have spent more and been really baller wit me homies, but, to be fair, I had a life to get on with which I wasn't prepared top replace with hanging around car parks and doing lap[s of city centres just to be "Cool"

That much money on a clio? :hail:

Edit : i seem to have lost the dyno printout. i dont know if ktec can upload it forme?

Ask them nicely to send you a new one. It would still be on file I expect in their Excel spread sheets folder. Make sure you tell them what sort of figures you'd like to see on it.

Question for you oliver.

At 18 what car did you have and was it your own policy?

An X-plate Ph1 Si (1.4.16v). Was more than quick enough for an 18 year old, especially since I fell asleep at the wheel after a night-shift at the hospital I used to work part time at while I studied. Was a write-off, normal for most 18 year old lads to bin their 1st car. A lesson was learnt and I moved on.

Had a crappy K-tec exhaust on it for all of about a week before I realised my errors and swapped it for a set of good shocks and springs. If you want to spend money on your Clio, do that. Oh and yeah, own policy, but I didn't pay for it. I think it was about £1200 a year or something fully comp with 0NCB and a £500 excess. My Mum said she'd fund the car until I finished my degree, which I've since naturally completed.

I could afford it, but I just chose to use my money in other ways, not for chavving up a worthless car only for it to be worth even less.

And I'd imagine that the car parks and city centres don't magically disappear after 5pm.

In sumamry: your argument is invalid, but carry on, this is definately thread of the day

Lol at 18 I was living in Greece came back at 20 and insured a saxo vtr for £900 fully comp.

I lived in Greece for nearly 2 years and it cost me less than your insurance for 1 year.

Damn I wish I got a 172 at 18 seems loads of fun.

What did you spend your money on? what have you got so show for your youth that i dont?
 
  Listerine & Poledo
Well, I've got a house, did plenty of travelling and wasted a lot of money on university.

But, hey, you've got a 2-litre Clio, yo da man.

Money? His own house? Loads of options I guess. I could spunk loads of money on a car, wouldn't be a problem. I'm saving for a house deposit though, I'm kicking myself at 23 that I'm still saving for that. I should have banked the money I earn't when I was 18-21. I have never had an insurance quote for any of my cars over £1300 a year, even when I was 17. It's just daft also it's money you will never see again.
 
Ok this is getting boring. i have 4k insurance yes but i still do everything fun that anyone else on here can afford to do!

back on topic. my results are above

To be fair, if I had a 172 at 18 I probably would have thought I was awesome too. Probably would have also done some hero driving. Actually it's a good job I didn't have one at 18...

May as well have kept the 4k and driven uninsured as the fines would be less than the policy lol.
 
  Listerine & Poledo
Imagine what more you could do if your insurance wasn't so high though.

just think about it, if your insurance was just £1k

That's another 1/2 decent holiday in the bag each year
Another naff car every year or a good one every 3 years (by which time insurance on something worthwhile would be decent)
a house deposit in..... actually, don't know about Bristol house prices, let's say 4 years.
Full body overhaul in the cosmetic surgeons.

Apart from the points and disqual
This is more of an inevitability than a posibility

"Hi is that K-Tec? Oh it is excellent. I was at your workshop last week having some matched inlets and parts fitted. I got a rolling road printout that showed I only got a 6bhp increase but I have no idea if that was at the wheels or the flywheel and I've lost the printout now but I'm fairly sure I should get more than that..... No I didn't bother talking to you on the day I just gave you my money and came home"

LOL.. good luck

At the end of the day you've got the exact amount of power increase anyone would expect from those mods - if you want 12-15bhp extra you need to spend £2-3k and you've already said you're not willing to spend that much money on a clio - so I'd stop posting now, go and sell the car and buy something else - you're clearly not happy with the power your car has got and you don't take advice from others well.


Agree but then why does Ktec say this for the package this lad has?:


We tend to see gains of between 12-15bhp from this stage 2 package.

You could probably buy a nice BMW 130i for less than you've spent on your Clio so far, and if you were me also insure it too. ;)

Baby-nearly-1M FTW!
 
So the mods aren't declared. And your comment about not caring if they didn't pay out on your £2k Clio. Good luck when you bounce off a £100k car and hit a cyclist and people come looking for compo and loss of earnings etc and your insurer wash their hands of you. Insurance isn't just about your car, but then you already knew that being an intelligent well informed grown up.

I can stil afford those things even with my insurance.

Even if you get pulled while disqualified the fine is nothing compared to your policy.

However I digress you're 18 with a relatively powerful car so now with your huge power increase from ktec it will try to mate with a hedge soon.

My prediction anyway.
