Id be interested to know what state of tune the engine is without the turbo..what turbo does it use?

Everywhere but the owners manual?

Not the same engine. Wait for the k-tec turbo.

Get coilovers.

Yeah the MPG isnt that impressive, i used to get around that but now i drive with a bit more restrain i can get close to 40mpg. On the motorways travelling at 100mph+ i got about 20mpg, and at 60mph around 54mpg. -Rob

Yeah good luck, lets face it weve all done it, (apart from girlracer) and just had the luck not to be seen. Which is why i now tootle around like an old dear now.. -Rob

Yeah no thanks, i eat them round tracks! Well on the basis of the replies i wont bother then! I think. P.S Anyone know the the brake bias setting on a Cup..and then couldnt i just set it to that on mine? -Rob

Why would you do that?

Its a sport badge. -Rob

Yeah im sorry too.

Oh, well you may as just get matched rears. It looks a bit weird otherwise. I cant see it being any louder, noticeably anyway. -Rob

Theyll cut up your pads a good un! I know theyre nice but apart from cooling advantages you should buy OE replacements instead. Not to mention theyre double the price.. If you do track work the best thing to do is get better pads/brake lines/brake fluid which will stop fade, it would be...

Nice one geezer

Can i ask what fronts you have?

*twitches* Id get matched rear discs purely because theyll look nice.

Any side effects?

Well it will do, solid discs will give a shorter stopping distance, but as were talking rear brakes..thats probably a few mm :p

I find it too hard to modulate pressure just on the locking up point with my car.. Is there an easy way of turning off ABS, like unplugging something? -Rob

My mk1 gold had that problem, got upgraded ones, maybe its an old VW trait. It would hardly be suprising that your Uno needs new ones being the age that it is, my dad had his Alfas replaced and it was 7 years old. I will glady have a test drive of your car to see if anything else is out ;) -Rob

They dont cover them, if you lose them they replace it with OE parts, £200 is just to add on the risk of something/it being nicked. -Rob [Edited by RobFenn on 19 May 2004 at 12:32pm]

If people are that bad in your area drive a sh*tter for a few years until you can move away and then get something nice. I wouldnt want to be curtain twitching every night.. -Rob

Its an option to delete badging on the M3. My dad had no badge :) I thought most spotty teenagers up-badged their cars, swapping VTS for VTR badges, putting RenaultSport on their 1.2s etc.. ;) -Rob

And why did they? Sorry to hear the news..

Very nice but you NEED coilovers

Most people dont know what a Renault Sport is. If they do, its likely theyd be able to tell a 172 from a 1.2 anyway. Take them off! -Rob

Both nice, i like iceburg..really hate the non sport silver. -Rob

Thats why Andy left..shame! Nice chap. First to have 18s and a big drop though i believe..maybe the only on these forums still. -Rob [Edited by RobFenn on 18 May 2004 at 1:38pm]
