Ive got a friend whos a mechanic (use of ramp) but anyone actually done this, if so whats the best way of going about it? Cheers

Been done my self by a 2.0litre TURBO Nova on the motorway, on the way back from Leicester. Also wasted my mates Fiesta RS Turbo and a convoy of cars including 205 GTi! Still looked AWFULL in my opinion and that had a bodykit, respray, wheels, the lot!

The hangers are like tough material on my valver but howd i make them pull the exhaust closer to body at back-box area?

How do i lift my exhaust closer to the heat shield to the under body of my car? Its a Scorpion cat back system but has scratches where its caught on speed bumps i think. Where can i get hangers if you need them? Anyone had to lift there after-market exhaust? Cheers.

The passenger must make a BIG difference then, ill bust 8 sec now!

You can feel ur back end and the point at which youll slide with manual steering but with power its more of a guess.

Ive got a digital camera and know how to get them on my pc. But who can host them for free and howd you upload them onto internet? Ill try this weekend.

Ok thanks.

Come on if i had a 172 id not concern myself with these new hatches that cant yet catch my valver. Tune your 2 litre beasties and scalp some Type Rs, or are you scared? ;)

Try racin somethin in your league then brag, like a Civic Type R, Integra or Calibra Turbo. Maybe then you can be proud. :cool:

I know what u mean Mike, look great for less than 2 days after polishing, but look gruby there after, thats why ive got fffin white alloys mate.

Ive just had my new white Speedline Chrono 16" wheels fitted and they REALLY stand out! :o Especially against my black vavler. I think they look alright but there just SO bright its amazing! Ive seen a monaco blue 16v with a set on in this sites 16v gallery and they seem to suit that colour...

72k service is an engine out cam belt change (over £300) unless been done already. Otherwise, considering no major work, then itll be around £200 on top of the cam belt change (if needed).

About £20 you reckon? PS. Ben j, what you on about?

Ive jus snapped my handbrake. :( Does anyone know how much it costs to get a new cable put in? Or: How easy it is for a mechanic cause im guess it needs to be lifted.

If you check out some Z3 stats then there pretty disappionting, but take nothing away caTse they are RWD which gives BIG advantages from standing starts. To be honest a Clio 16v with the right mods should take on the VTSs and 106GTIs of this world. But im not sure how those hatches react to...

One foot should make it more fun. :D

Well its probably if u look like a fool ull be taken to the cleaners. ;)

Howd i pull out my wiring for my boot situated sub and amp. All the speaker wires and power cables, etc. I know jack about sub wiring but im guessing it goes under the door step cover but is there anything i need to know when doing this? Cheers.

Traffic light race to 50mph would only be the drivers ability. So if hes at one with his valver theres no reason he cant make you his b*tch. ;)

:oWOW. You should go on crimewatch, and give lessons in physical vigilanty. He he. In all seriousness though, its some food for thought for all of us whove left our keys unattended at any time... ... ... Is it Boll*cks, but it is an amusing story for the grand kids ehh Ben? :devilish:

I take it back, id rather have yours with a GT Turbo engine. ;) :cool: The red Oasis spec? I really like the look those wheels give it but i sold those ones which came on mine for better pick-up and a softer ride. Not that u should, cause my 16v looks boring at the minute.

Slamed on 15s would be a more rewarding drive for a 1.2 mate. At least youd have dogs testicles handeling. :D

Im STILL waiting for an info pack from BB Tuning, but hey you might get lucky. ;)

So howd you stiffen the rear suspension with-out buying a new torsion bar? Surposably impossible or does the torsion bar have a naturally progressive type of stifing, hence lowering the car would result in a harder rear end suspension cause the reflex of the torsion bar is stiffer (spring more...

Must be tuned adi cause ive never been beat by a 106 Gti when all things were fair. 106 GTi 0-60 = 8 sec in the book doesnt it?

Cheers, if uve got 17s on it takes aprrox .4 longer to 60 as i found out, but then with 15s 185s youve got insufficent grip in my opinion, as i have to spin a little to get the best drag start. Im positive when my 16s arrive and i catch a dry day with me new Yokos on ill be doin 7.7s for fun...

Doesnt coilovers solve this problem as these will take the strain, and handeling is surposably greatly improved even with the 16v? :devilish:

Tell me something thats not blindingly obvious. Not that u havent got a point but its as good a way of timing your 0-60mph as any other that doesnt involve expensive equip. None of you have even submitted a time yet. Come on. My 16v on a good run can manage 8 sec dead with PiperX IK...

My driving is nothing for anyone to worry about, but your obviously Michael Schmacher . So whats your time? Honestly? Can everyone whos had a passenger stop-watch your time just post the result concisely? Cheers.
