r5s have very thin bodywork and the engine will give slightly more grief than the 16v.clio 16v better build quality, but r5 is more fun to drive and easyer to upgrade the engine power and especially torque....... having said that if r5s are well cared for they can go on for ages, like the...

it depends how keen you are to get this info. if you cant get what you want form reading on the internet (which contains almost everything) You could offer to assist (unpaid work) in your free time with a decent tuning company (or bodywork co whatever your interested in) and learn from watching...

Had a Drivers Choice booked for last Saturday (13th NOV) at Brands Hatch via Acorn Sports voucher........ Like many others travelling that day. nobody could get there as part of the m25 was closed - and all surrounding roads/routes were in chaos - i sat in a 4 hour jam to do a round trip of...

OK i know the brand of tyre i want to fit to my williams .......(mich exalto pe2) one last question is :- i currently have x4 190/50 r15 tyres, should i go back to the standard 185/55 r15, they are more expensive but are they worth the money ? as i understand it, the 190s have a wider...

Northy ill send you a PM, i think i live the opposite end of the map though, if not ill try my tyres as reccomended by white16valver. cheers for the help all.

can anyone help :- Looking to get myself a set of 2 williams tyres to replace the dragos already on the back - i had no idea how cheap and crappy they were.The front has 2 AVS sport which im told are OK. so i can spend £50-£150 (if its worth the extra ??? as i do little milage as i use a van...

i think *hill power* charge about 200 for cam belt. you might want the under drive pullys changed too at this point. i read somewhere renault charge 500 !

id go for something slightly uprated, proper uprated clutches can be hard to drive in town.......

i was looking at the 323 GTR instead of the Pulsar GTiR as i think the mazda has much cheaper insurance ? and only 200cc down..........

sexysez :- try getting a VIBE pc-10 digital power cell.approx £100. i had this on my old bass system - it helped power twin kicker L5 15 subs which require a huge amount of power, it holds an almost constant charge like a battery when the car is running, it helps to drop bass notes that use...

f.y.i std figures :- the mazda 323 turbo was 1.6T @136bhp for the old lighter boxy model approx 1100kg and newer model 1.8T @ 180? bhp, group 14-16 Insurance i think. Best model is the newer Mazda 323 1.8T GT-R.

when i bought my old calibra 16v it had 150bhp. i then put 17 wheels on and twin 15 kicker L5 subs in box & amp. it totally killed the performance, more than what i expected for a 150bhp car - i have no idea what that lot weighed extra though. It felt about as quick as an 8 valve though...

i asked him to get me the silkolene, and as my 1st post shows thats what he told me he got on the mobile.......... when he got back and gave me the oil it was :- Mobile 1, 15w-50 racing 4T , fully synthetic motorcycle motor oil (1 litr @£12 ) on the back it says 100% synthetic race proven...
