agree! i dont really like the overall look of the car or kit..
but that quality is right up there with the best, its all in the details and I think you've done your mate proud!
just go and look at someone like peugeot ecosse labour rates for similar work!
nice one :):)
calloway have now fitted the recaro pole position in their C16 corvette..and autocar said this week they are extremely comfortable and mega mega supportive!
ooooof! :D:D
2-3 weeks to go!!! come on! :D
you either get the vee or you dont..
if you dont...im not arsed.. and anyone who loves them wont be either I love mine to bits and can safely say...the prices are doing the exact opposite of the 182 prices lol
when you get a 997 gt3 owner who owns a vee too, saying the vee is more fun..you...
chris...when you doing those wheels anthracite?? its part of the swap deal! lol
if you get the recaro's...i get the anthracite turini's ;)
out of the 2 i still love the racing blue best...but..not so keen on the white rims :(:(
if pound for pound is all you care about then go turbo a corsa lol
having owned a 172 cup and both vee's now..the vee in a straight line is a seriously quick car, in corners in the dry..it can also be much quicker..you just have to know how to do it..
its not just...flick flick..as in the...
alright peeeetaaaay lol
guys..to be fair...i thought the cups and 182's would have us in the corners..but this wasnt the case..
we ate them all up in the cupra...except this damn 197 lol!
so....WHOS IS IT??? it was albi blue with KW stickers...looked fairly standard otherwise?
Mike..are you sure this is the same copper? I nearly did turn round and go back..but..to be fair..I slowed right down..and a police bike could have easily cought me..
i just dont want to get nicked for failing to stop..etc..???
fletch, im sure he could have..he looked round for a good few seconds as I passed..
and as my private plate is very distinguishable, then he probably has it :(
thats what the general opinion from my mates was...he got a good look at my plate though, just hope I dont get a court summons or anything through the post..
I love my license clean! :(
made a stupid f**k up mistake yesterday after leaving donny show..
travelling out of a 40mph zone in the v6..i was stuck behind the biggest granny driver ever in a ford ka, faced with losing the rest of my convoy and not knowing the way to go..I saw the nat limit signs about 150 yards away...
it had Kw suspension stickers on it, and was on the track same time as me and my mate in his IHI turbo cupra, we were overtaking absolutely everything but couldnt touch this 197 lol..
whats the deal with this???
only got to speak to one cs member Nathan H was good to meet you mate :)
I was just going to say that..this topic is not about the car..its about the power its apparently not making..
I think if the 197 genuinely had that..it would be a stormer!
can i just say...I am not a 197 hater, I love the looks, the gearbox, the seats, the handling...
but having test drove 2 extensively...jesus..they need some more uumph!
If renault put the 230 lump in one, in liquid yellow with recaro's and H&R springs..id consider selling the vee in the...
did anyone read the letter regarding the 197 in evo, from portugal, stating that they rolling roaded a car..and it made 170bhp!! they returned it to renault..to "fix" and it still only made 182..
no wonder they are so fecking slow!! evo are going to get theirs tested soon! :) should be...
oh my god! that is perfection! the only flaw i can honestly say is that you've mounted the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car ;)
seriously though...makes the UK seem sooo far behind when it comes to smooth and simple :)
i actually said "wow" when i looked through those pics! that is so neat it could have been made that way from new!
perfect dude! i havent seen the outside can you post a pic up?
I have had...
172 cup
mk1 v6
mk2 v6 which i now have and plan to keep for ever
my dad also has a FF 182..so Im pretty good for comparisons..
the vee's are in a different ballpark to the 2.0L's, you cant just easily go for a quick 5 mile rag and have as much outright fun..
the mk1...
