Graph please. With before & after results done on an independent dyno, not yours after you've messed with the resistance ... Forgive me if i'm a tad sceptical of your figures :)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Glad you like. Its a great car imho :) Bought something last night that i thought id never do actually, some R888's. To be perfectly honest, im not sure ill like them, as i still believe that the clio is a little underpowered to need...

1p a litre saves me about £2 a month, & i do 30k a year. To be honest, if petrol were £3 a litre id still buy it, its just one of those necessities tbh. I just go without something else.

Cars looking good, but just thought id add a couple of thoughts: 1. The ktec filter of death is appalling, how ktec carry on selling it i dont know. 2. Get Matt to check the wiring, the loom on the ktec itb'd car i just broke was appalling. 3. Im amazed they didnt do something as simple as...

Had this on my old Trophy. Compared to my current Trophy, which is completely standard? F*ck all difference. Spend the money on beer & hookers instead.

Was about to say that!! Iirc Chris 'n Nic's one was in a similar state when that was written off. Shame to hear about the accidient though, looked like a minter :(

lol, how weird only putting little bits in here & there :S When its empty i fill it (lasts about 8 days), the 320d costs about £85-£90 iirc.

Demon Tweeks Rare Rims ?

I like steering feel, so i would chose the clio. In fact i have, 4 times.

All looks lovely. I do think however, that your gf would love you more if you had less sh1t wheels on your chariot ;)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Yah, when it sounded like it was about to blow up! And smelled of burning :o Will ask Tom about changing to the Cup setup if i need a new alternator i think, aircon doesnt work anyway.

Well, as the left time i saw it, it looked like this: I would imagine that the airbox has something to do with a certain Michael 'Bodge-It' Burgess ...

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Umm. Im going on the time basis, rather than mileage .... (crossed fingers) Hadnt thought about the waterpump, will ask Tom about that as well as coolant, etc.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Not entirely sure tbh, its nowhere near as rattly as Guppy's was, although that one was royally buggered!! Sounded like a bag of marbles being shaken in a box ... Is due a cambelt/aux belt service anyway really, so will probably get the...

Poor car, up for sale AGAIN: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2640486.htm Still amazed at how it passes the mot each time with just an abs sensor change ... amazing seeing as i removed the ENTIRE abs system & changed the master cylinder lol.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Right, little update as the car is currently poorly, with a weird, rattly/whirring sound coming from the engine. I have no idea what's wrong with it so i'll essentially be dumping it at JMS on Thursday for Tom & James to diagnose/fix/hopefully...

My Trophy's on the original dephaser on 174k miles, serviced every 12k at Renault since new. Gonna change it soon for piece of mind i think ...

Oh FFS. I give up. I'm off to find some tyres for my venoms. Oh, & btw the way, im not so keen on the bonnet either, seems to be giving in to what you didnt want the car to be - if you know what i mean?

Wiggle them about, then tap with a hammer. I had the same problem until i got the mallet out ;)

Course it is!!

Forgot to mention, sounds a wee bit rattly as well. Although im aware that most F4Rs sound sh4gged.

Started 'whirring' from the alternator/pulleys area at Donington, no idea what im looking for so made some videos, which may help someone slightly more mechanically minded than me ... At idle: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/Sir_Dave/?action=view&current=56d6ad5f.mp4 Being revved...

Hmmm, have sent Steve a pm, hopefully he can help out ... otherwise, ill have to phone all the dealers in the Midlands - where it lived lol!!

As above really, do Renault do this, like BMW do? Need to find out whether my car definately had a cambelt service at 144k, as i cant find the receipt anywhere :( Was done at a franchised dealer apparently.

1. Ollie 2. Tom 3. Darren 4. Vish 5. Dave 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Played here: Staines Leisure Centre, Knowle Green, Staines TW18 1XD 9-10pm All standards welcome, the cr4pper the better generally.

Tee hee xx Rules with FWD are generally: Understeer - lift, catch oversteer, foot in Oversteer - keep foot in Neither of above - keep foot in. ;)

Actually no, just turn up to football tomorrow. In shorts :o

Car's ok. Pics of you?
