Re: Show me ur tailpipes 172.

Got the thumbs up and gave you a toot in return:rasp:

This much I understand. What I was trying to get at was the classification of noise polution. If Mr Averave Joe buys a standard car, the exhaust rots and it gets replaced with an aftermarket exhaust system from his local quick fit - not a performnace system and it's louder, is the average joe...

How do supercars get away with stupid loud exhaust systems? There's a Ferari California by me and that is far far louder even at low speeds than my Yozza Race

Isnt noise only quoted on Newer cars V5? - that was the impression I was under

Other than being noisey how likely are they to fail?

Where the bonnet release catch goes through mate

Chris Stourbridge: 172 pearl black

You wont be dissapointed then!

No worries, Yeah run the decat ;) No point buying the race otherwise. I t does get on your nerves sometimes (recent threads) but around and about it's not that noisey at all. Not like they are hyped up to be anyway....

Just for you:

Was too dark without the flash and my tripod is a pain to set up... Spent the day on the paint, too cold to be getting into/under the car! Cheers for the comments guys!

Well after a trip to scotland my car looked ike this! : :eek: Looked worse in RL, thick crusted on salt. So gave it a quick refresh today and hidden my winter swirls with some PB BH - top stuff!

Yeah thought about an R27 just cant find a decent one that appeals to me. I'd want white or LY either way.

Well I've spoken to the garage and I'm booking a test drive in the R26 this week sometime so will see how things go I guess.

Standard apart from yozza inc decat, dogbone mount, induction etc nothing else that would make it noisey/uncomfortable, why?

Nope not at the moment.

Might pop by one night just to have a nose! Whats nights?

It'd be out and about everyday. Thing is I do a lot of Long journeys to go climbing, North wales, Scotland etc. and the Yoz drones and I hear every stone I roll over. Clio just seems a bit of an effort at the min =[

Yeah yeah i know that way. Never been down cannock tbh so couldnt comment. What cars are about?

Not yet, booking a test drive next week, local Renault garage has one in.

Be nice to know what it's upto these days, sold it to a chappy in Northants in 2009

Cali car scent eh? What does california smell like? My car smells of either cherries or bluberry bubble gum =]

I've got a clio 172 ph2 and well, it's a great car; good MPG's, practical, nippy etc... But I've had nothing but bad luck with it!!!! But I've got the itch for a R26 Meggy 230 F1 Money in the bank to make the trade up but is it worth it? Is the meg better built? More fun? As chuckable? Or...

I just make sure my car is empty nowadays kills two birds with one stone - Nothing rattles in the glove box etc. Also there is nothing to pinch.

Cup was actually built for super car slaying in the twisties ;) but MCD's works for you then...

I lock my car, hang my keys up, brother comes back after being parked up maccies all night (chav) checks the car and it's unlocked. God knows what goes on because the keys are hung up so no chance of it being pressed accidentaly....

have this all the time, just put it down to it being a Renault...

Cat back? Have a bash yourself!
