Something about proper winter dirt that makes some cars look cool as f**k, like the mostly brown examples above. Just plain neglected dirty, not so much.

Forgot to fire the printout up as well, again more for my own records than anything else! I await someone picking holes in it, lol!

Very! It's quite deceptive as it's such a smooth delivery in order to minimise lighting the front tyres up, triple figures are reached very quickly! Did a deal with the Fiesta rather than "bought" it as such, from what he was telling me! Aye Simon now has a GTR as development car/daily, just...

Another update, went to Sitech yesterday to have my plenum fitted, 650cc injectors put in and Revo's stage 4 map file uploaded. Soon as I got in the door at 8:30am I was asked how I was at removing stickers, handed a heat gun and an extension lead and tasked with removing some decals from...

Fair enough! Aye UG is well known as a tricky colour. I've seen bodyshops on facebook proudly show off the paintwork they've done to UG RS' and I can see the ring where they've applied the colour FFS!

First thing to do is figure out what size wheels are on the car. One of those two sets of numbers you posted will be written on the tyres, have a look.

165/185 are measures of the wheel/tyre width, not height. 14/15 refers to height. It's highly likely if your car has the standard alloys it left factory with that they're 15 inch wheels so will have the 185/55/15 tyres on them. If it has steel wheels with trims over the top they're probably 14s.

Also got it, works very well on the car at least. Can't comment on durability mind, only had it a couple of months.

How come you got rid of your green one? Your white one has serious spec mind!

Fraser's? I've been out in a big turbo'd 500+bhp one, from 3rd gear upwards it was actually very useable power. The right mapping helps!

Will do, however I can't see that ever happening, that's a LOT of cash to get to that stage. It's currently Revo stage 2, so around the 350-360bhp region. It already covers ground ridiculously fast as is, I've just always had it in my head that if I bought one I'd have it running stage 4 for...

It's addictive once you start to go down the tuning route! I'll be leaving it where it is power wise once it's at Stage 4 I think, 6 pots are the next big thing I'd want!

f**king women! I had the same on mine but with Milltek downpipe and decat, sounded epic above 3.5k. Spat flames too. It should be fitted by then all going to plan, was going to say to you about giving it a quick once over with something once it's on if it's easy enough for you to do in the bay!

Stage 4 cars with 650cc injectors should make in the region of 400bhp with similar torque. Obviously every car is different though!

I was surprised just how well our paint scheme matched it, could almost have gotten away with it panel to panel! It matched better than the bumpers FFS.

Cheers, still got your ST?

Always Yaldi!

Another update, picked this up a couple of weeks back, got it for a decent price second hand from the RS forum. It's not "necessary" for the power I want, but it's a safer way of doing things as the plastic item on the car has been known to fail especially at higher states of tune. It's an...

I certainly wouldn't complain at that. Look at it this way, it costs £600 for a tuner to plug a laptop into the RS and fire on a generic map file from Revo so £354 is cheap.

Got to be honest here, it sounds like you've swapped a car you knew the history of but needed a few hundred quid spent on it, for another car you don't know anything about really, which also needs a few hundred quid spent on it. Seems like you're back to square one.

Dunno how it works with BMWs, usually all you have to do is pay Superchips £200 odd quid and they reset it so it can be used again on another motor, saves £60/£70 over a new one!

Bluefin you say? I still have my old one you could buy ;) What number Clio is this for you, 142?

Best spotted threads since Kiev85.

As above. Handling wasn't a patch on the 200 I had before it but tuning potential and noise more than made up for it.

I like the colour, just not the finish! Wouldn't have that colour over the original mind.

Wraps only really work when they're Matt for me too. Guy has paid a lot of money to ruin a CSL with what just ends up looking like a poorly finished paint job. IMO.

Gave it a clean at the weekend, decided to take a few quick iPhone pics. Couldn't be arsed drying it off for them, lol Should hopefully get an uprated inlet from Sitech come the end of the month. Get it painted up to match the car and on and it's another step closer to Stage 4!

Amazing. Absolutely love TVRs, everything about them is stupid in a good way. It's an experience just firing them up!

Whatever you used to polish the headlight up should take that out, it's only marked the surface.

How is that photo supposed to show anyone anything? Get a close up of it.
