19 - 1.3 nova sr, brill fun on the twisties
19 - 1.4 nova sr, not as much fun, but quicker
20 - 1.4 corsa sri 8v, nice looker, but gutless!
21 - clio valver ph1 - f**kin awesome machine
22 - uk mr2 n/a - my fave, but couldnt afford to run it...

oh well, never mind"!!!!

was out in the valver tonight and turned my stereo off, only to hear a noise id never heard before, the steering makes a hissing noise as if is releasing gas or something like that, its hard to explain, it onlu happens when i turn a tightish corner
any ideas guys???

the biggest regret of my drivin life is buyin my second valver when i could have had a willy!!! Dont get me wrong, the valver is an awesome car in its own right, but a willy is just that little bit more special!!
really jealous mate, hope u look after her and enjoy!
-->NV
in 3rd place, has to be my MR2 N/A T-bar, fun, but scared the sh*t outta me!!!
2nd - 1.3 Nova SR, lowered with a few engine tweaks and it was just a pocket rocket at 17
1st - my first valver, lowered and far more fun to drive than this one!!!

I did try a search but it wouldnt work for me, can anyone tell me is it difficult to remove the ph2 16v steerin wheel with airbag to replace it with a non airbag model??
anyone elso not like the laguna-stylee steerin wheel on their ph2 valver?

i did 140 nearly on the limiter in my old ph1 valver on the way back from blackpool racin a corsa GSi which i had left a fair way behind, didnt realise i was doin it till my mate told me to back off!!!
-->NV
oh no, wouldnt be a permanent thing, the valver/willy bonnet is one of a kind, u never see any car with an offset bulge and vent, and i think if a vent aint ment to be there, it shouldnt!
-->NV
could go old-skool and make it look like mad maxs car, only without the blower!!! just get a RT bonnet and cuta hole in it with the angle grinder!!!
-->NV
yeah i got a 180 pc toolkit from woolies for xmas off my mum and dad, its prob one of the best pressies ever, has the tool for all clio related jobs!!!
-->NV
i agree about the temperature side of things, have u ever just sat at the lights and seen the heat risin from the vent even after a short run, put a fryin pan on there and u could quite easily make an omelette!!!
-->NV
i dont want it too low mate as i had a nova at -60mm and it was a crap ride, my old valver was -30mm and that was a sweet ride.
dont really want to lose the comfy ride!!!

first time i drove mine, i sold my corsa SRi, bought a valver, my dad drove it back, got insured just before work(worked nights) then took it to work, only round the corner, but had to take it, booted it across works yard and scared the sh*t outta myself, never had a smile so big from drivin a...
bugger, need the dent pullin out the front, and need the car!!!
150 sounds ok, might have to look into it, i take it a normal clio bonnet wont fit a valver???
