Erm, there might be four black Valvers there: yours, mine, Rockports and Glens.

Good comment Eric. The 205 GTi 1.9/5 GT Turbo/VTS/Clio 16v/172/Williams/106 GTi are all pretty close in the real world. Each has their strengths; each their weakness. The VTR is a nice motor and a good introduction to hot hatches. Its hardly the be-all and end-all of telepathic...

Middle is best, but "highten" it a bit! Love the smoothed doors.

The guy who did the work on my engine is an F7P (Clio/19 16v) engine specialist, so Id expect he would know how to get power out of the engines. Derek Pratt in Winchester. Lofty: the tyres are fine mate. I knew what to expect with the Yokos as I had the same tyres but in 16" all round before...

Surely the Willy/16v is also capable of that power then - both have the F7P/R engine!:D Spyder does weigh 950kgs. Willy/16v weigh 975kgs.

Sorry Nick - black or dark grey for me! I want get enough to do the top of the dash (probably black). Id love to have the doors/rooflining done, but think it would be a job for the professionals really. Im going to be having a good sniff around Glens custom leather-ed up interior!

I paid £250 for mine as well. Got a new alternator for £120, plus £90 fitting, plus VAT. Poo!

Id like to trim the top of my dash (extended 16v one) in alcantara. Looks fairly straightforward, but I cant find anywhere that sells alcantara! Cheers.

Mine didnt work when I got the car. By chance, I had the dash off while cleaning it and noticed that the wire joint had worked apart just behind the switch on the dash. Have you tried that?

Just to clarify Lofty - its the Willy conversion that is faster than the Valver: not the 106?

My mate just disconnects the battery from the car and re-connects it again when he uses it. Saves a lot of hassle, but make sure if youve got a Cat 1 that you disengage it first!

But if its an August "M" then its pretty close!

Mine was registered 8th July 1994, from Renault London. Id have personally waited three weeks for the "M" plate: the bloke was obviously really desperate! Mine also came with optional leather.

Ive just swapped from 16" wheels back to the original 15" Speedline Phase 2 wheels. Initial accleration actually seems a bit better, though Id not put money on it. If you really want to go for a good drive - I call it a "boon" - then select a cold, clear morning on your favourite road. You...

Find somewhere else to keep your car. I never park mine in town - I always take a bus or hitch a ride!

£4k without the Dimma - up to £6.5k with Dimma kit

Was it the yellow one I pulverised in Bristol Lofty?

Mines pearlescent black. Early Phase 2 - July 1994

Windows could be due to switches - a common problem. Regular switches cost £25 and the one touch ones something ridiculous like £75!! Heater matrix is another common problem: about £130 to fix.
