That was a lesson I learnt the hard way. Always make sure that you specify the work you want done - in your case it should be a fixed charge (as it was when mine was changed)
Ill keep my fingers crossed for ya!!
Garages always seem to want to add on bizarre charges! When i had the front suspension springs changed on mine the guy said they would probably be about £20/£30 they ended up charging me £78 for one spring + labour!!! When I asked why they didnt let me know, his response was oh, i didnt think...
Well, Im sticking with standard wheels so that shouldnt be a problem, and a drop of about 30mm is as far as i intend to go. The valvers look pretty mean as standard but a small drop should tidy it up nicely - esp. around the back which looks a little hight when compared to the front.
I cant see...

Im not saying that those things wouldnt be taken into account by the builder of the car though.
When cornering hard in a 16v, the suspension is set up to deal with the forces generated by the car, the weight, the speed etc. - seeing as renault never made a 16v Turbo, there arent components built...
Sorry, maybe I didnt word it correctly - what i meant with the reference to the v6 was that it is built to handle that kind of power.
Every component is used to make the car as safe and reliable as possible when pushing over 200bhp, the 16v wasnt designed with those kind of power figures in...

hate to be picky but the rally reference aint strictly true... although no noticable success at world level - the manta gte was one of the best rally cross cars of its time - and the nova was ok too, ive seen them at clubman level and they tend to do rather well...
but corsa? yeuch!!

It was pointed out that the BB clio had more BHP than the V6, was faster etc etc. But you can take a V6 to a ton, jump on the anchors and itll stop in a straight line, id like to see the turbod 16v do that!!
Ive been thinking alot about mods and their pros and cons, but this is all my personal...
Youll be spinning up in 1st, 2nd and probably 3rd (which some people show off about but aint that impressive) Why do you think that manufacturers rarely make FWD cars with more than 200bhp as standard?
Wow, you can drive really fast in a straight line - woohoo, but youll never be able to corner...
