going from a cup to this isnt a disapointment, mine doesnt feel really all that heavy and the suspension is so well damped too even though rock hard. power is ace though like i said a real licence loser theres no 60 on the speedo just 50 then 70 the time it takes between these two points is...
230 actually on the E4 and near 240lbft 3rd gears like the 2nd gear in the cup but only much quicker.
if anyone is near my place id be happy to let you have a ride in it :D
in fairness a few months ago (been drivin an old vectra)
this was the cup just days before it was sold ^^
and in with the new another cup but not as light just got it today lol...
great car in many ways gets the looks the 172cup did and perhaps a bit more. owned a red...
had an top quality icesilver 172fullfat bough new at £13.5k new (53 reg) frover 40,000 miles in just 20months ! fitted koni shocks/springs etc.. then bought a 3rd hand (i think) 52 plate cup with 11k on, why you ask ? it was older i had lost £6,000 on the 172 in less than 1yr !
the cup...
nor are they a cup with the inevitable drilled discs, anthacite wheels, bigger spoiler and lowered 25mm thats soon to be out im sure even just as an option
are you the only one who had sat in it ? its a test car it could of had the fatest hamfisted thicko pulling on that handle and as you know not all Renaults are equal in build or power even though there the same car, compared with the simply gash plastic bits in the 172/182 (center console sides...
i do know of a lad in town who paid a full £16.5k for a 182+cup pack in blackgold with satnav+ 6cd changer !! crazy.
but your point is probably the most important when comparing the two cars, both simular list both simular internet price deals ((compare to the start of the 172/182 internet...
^ true same goes for meganesport. if you dont take advantage of the loophole (stopped now for the R26 230 though :( ) then your a muppet.
btw saw a titainium one this mornin it looked amazing, ive got used to the style of the normal 1.2/1.6 (which look better than the last 1.4/1.6`s) but when...
they claim 10hp which is right but the gains are added up through the whole range i belive.
RST (pmurray) has a genuine 8hp from his map and its about £275 i belive
rstuning.co.uk
yup thats down a peg or two imo
look at it this way, you have little to no performance mild/average handling so what you want is the safest car and the most reliable which i belive would still be the clio unless you were unlucky, the image is no comparison although thats no super car the...
skoda superb has exellent drag co-eff, its diesel cars have amazing economy hence used for taxi`s.
btw if fwd is 15% rwd is 17% what percentage of tranloss is awd and what percentage is 4wd ?
my bro has a jabba sport (other mods also) 185bhp 320lbft VRS its fast but the first two gears just spin up even in dry and the speedo make it look like its going 50mph when in fact its just wheel spin and he`s doing 30mph lol.
with all that torque and 15more bhp than my 172cup it wasnt as...
you sure its 700kg without driver ???? lotus elise S1 120hp 1.8 is like 725kg
i have thought it was a bit more than ariel atom weight range i.e 450-500kg
mind you the megablades are much lighter engined so this may explain the increase in weight
i think its a massive step forward in everyway apart from accelaration
(and yes i driven one + owned a 172MKII and a 172MKIIcup so i know the difference)
shame some tyres dont come like that with white rubber all the way through so it never wears down :(
if you protect properly with a hard coating it should last a few months unless you do the drive through car wash thingy
i thought compared with the 182 the new clio was leagues ahead in terms of interior quality and space its clearly a safer car too. at the point of impact your not too bothered about bhp par say its more like am i going to see my daughter again ?
sure it could be argued its slower in fact it...
