Got 2 track days paid for already. Basically £300 - £400 to spend on making it even better on track :)

Apparently, spending all my bonus on car bits doesnt meet aproval from the missus. Something about me needing spending money for a holiday, lol. So, my plans to buy a bunch of kit for my car have to be scaled back. Im currently running standard suspension and 15" wheels with PE2s. I was...

Shame. Was hoping I could build the new shocks up before hand.

When buying OEM Renault front shocks, do you get the rubber base for the spring, and the bolt, metal disk and rubber top bit that holds the spring on at the top? Basically, if I buy new front shocks and Sportlines, can I build the new shocks up before hand and then just swap them over with the...

:(

You been searching? Really? First hit on Google http://www.shropshiretints.co.uk/legal.htm 75% Windscreen 70% front side windows Most cars come with a factory tint near this limit so I doubt you can tint the fronts.

Vice City. SA was great, but it didn't have the feel that Vice City did. IV is just way to serious. I really hope that 5 goes back to the GTA of old, with RC Helicopters with explosives, and pizza deliveries, and getting rewards for doing things a bit mental. IV was a much bigger and more...

Those '78 videos are great. That Suzuka one confused the hell out of me for a while too, before I realised it was mirrored. Comparing them to today's drivers is impossible though. Its a completely different discipline. The challenges of modern F1 are in different areas. Modern F1 cars can...

172 on 15" F1's with standard ride height (Also known as 'Comedy Arch Gaps of Lol')

The Cycled Manufacturer things are quite lol. Had an epic 16 player race around Maple Valley in Hummers :)

Yes, I know, but most of them there are no servers. If you choose 'Quick Race' there seems to be a 99% chance you will end up in a server playing unlimited cars where everyone is in X class LMP things.

I keep trying to play this online with a group of friends and I'm hitting 2 issues. a) if we all join a party, and then the host goes to find a game, we never seem to end up in a public game with anyone else. We just end up on our own, even though if we join individually we can join plenty of...

Joke thread is not funny, tbh.

****, completely forgot about this, and my car is likely to be off the road (and 80 miles from me) for most of January :( Sorry Will, can you take me off the list.

That Espace was fantastic! Saw it at Goodwood FoS. Heard this screaming F1 engine and turned around expecting to see some sleek F1 racer going up the hill, and saw a people carrier being hustled between the bales at alarming speed :)

Clio Williams was named after the F1 team they supplied engines to and because Williams had some input in development (I believe) The Cup and Trophy names come from the names of one make championships RenaultSport run, namely the Clio Cup and the Megane Trophy The R26 and R27 are names of that...

TomTom has been 'in development' for Android for about 2 years with very little from TomTom about progress. Something is holding it up, and I doubt very much its a technical issue. For them to confirm this has TomTom in it, It would be fairly safe to say its not Android.

TomTom? So its not Android then. Windows CE maybe?

I believe they will fit all mk2 Clios except the V6s

Good for you.

It's my thread, lol! Sportlines and Cup shocks (fronts) will set you back about £250. Seen as any coilovers at this price are apparently made of tin foil and jam, if £250 is what you have to spend, this seems to be the best and only option.

So cheap coilovers will be no better than standard shocks and sportlines? Thanks, ill stick with the original sportlines idea then. See, that wasn't hard was it? I don't get some peoples attitude on this forum. If its not the most expensive stuff, its crap.

Are DT still asking for stupid money while they have no stock? Edit: can't even find them on the DT website.

So... Your suggestion for a cheap way to get a bit lower and stiffer suspension is a £700 set of coilovers... This thread is meant to be about any alternatives to sportlines, which means stuff around the same price, not 4x more. I'm well aware that more expensive setups are better, bit if I...

Would I need to fit new cup shocks all round? I've only recently replaced the rears.

The rear shocks are new, I would get some new fronts with the sportlines. It needs to go lower though so stock springs are out. With the 15" wheels on it has a fairly comedy arch gap thing going on :)

I dont drive to work so its pretty much doesn't move unless I drive it to a trackday. I wanna do it as cheaply as possible as it is, as you said, a pretty worthless French box. However, when I mention getting sportlines I get told I am wasting my money???? Don't the cup campers have different...

Standard setup isn't that much. If i was to get Sportlines and camber bolts the complete cost would be: Front shocks £120 + rear shocks £100 + Sportlines £125 + camber bolts £20 = £365. Which by your rules means even the cheapest sub £400 coilovers would be better? Basically, can i get a...

My 172 is worth £1000 at absolute most. Thats why its kept as a second car and a track toy :) Nothing else does that as good for less.

Yeah, the airbag warning light being on will be a fail, whereas it isn't now. This may also be a problem for me. I took my car for an MOT last month. When I dropped it off, no lights. the guy moved the driver seat to drive the car into the ramp, and the shoddy cabled under the seat meant the...
