Not often I'm right and im wrong again. Lol
Only ever been to Plymouth once, it was grey when I went, they all had funny accents but it was a good laugh, decent pies from memory too.
I'm in my 6th year of being a Tamesider, I'm originally from walkden. Used to spend quite a lot of time up Bromley Cross and Horwich etc.
3 year stint in Plymouth, that has Royal Navy written all over it lol
I take it by the fact you put "originally" that means you saw sense and left ashton haha.
I'm not sure, I was baffled really as to why it would be cheaper, I was expecting it to go up quite a bit, they couldn't explain it on the phone either they just said that it happens a lot.
Jesus a whole 7, that's impressive haha. Pre conversion my usual average was around 22/23/24 around that kind of mark unless I'd had a few motorway journeys then it would be a bit higher up the 20's.
Oh yeah, I can (if I'm being good) get 40mpg from it whereas I think 28 was my previous best from a motorway journey to Wales, although on the other hand I have had 12mpg from it too
Gearbox is good mate, kept the clio box with the Meg engine too as its ratios are better and it's handling boost and power very well, was a bit worried at first to be honest as I know some clio boxes seem to be made out of chocolate, must just be luck of the draw.
I was getting a bit fed up of...
It transformed the car into what Renault should have made to be fair. Just feels so right, sounds so good and Jesus, it shifts.
Insurance was really good, switched to greenlight and did unlimited mods policy, is roughly what I was paying my previous company, think it actually worked out...
No mate, I did it the lazy way really. Spent a small fortune on parts, then sent my car to the garage to be done. In hindsight I wish I had have gone and taken pictures for a progress thread.
That's if they even stop at the new M67 lights, the other day I was sat at the lights by kfc and sainsburys etc and nobody paid any attention to them new lights and motorway traffic just carried on whilst traffic was merging, how there wasn't an accident I'll never know.
I see an RB182 in Denton a fair bit, possibly you. Will keep my eyes open for you, I work in Denton/Hyde and the Mrs family all live in haughton green so I'm always batting about.
