Ignore the camera phone, takes a decent ish picture but changed all the colours slightly! I decided today to go round to places on what would be a usual week for me, things like work, shopping, mates houses basically everywhere I take the car day in day out... I did this to see what would...

Since I swapped from the ph2 alloys to my refurbed turinis the car is rubbish! I've had GSD3's on my last 3 cars and always rated them so I was happy to find these turinis with them already on 6mm tread all round.. The car is simply crap though! it WILL NOT turn without slipping, it won't...

On top of this servicing are other things that need to be done regardless of mileage Airbags and pretensioner system changed every 10 years. So ph1 peeps anyone spent a fortune doing this yet? :) infact anyone planning on doing this at all?!

Anyone run the Konis day to day? what is the ride quality like with them? Still can't decide on which setup to go with! I like driving quickly to work, its one of those smooth then bumpy then smooth then tight then sweeping then bumpy type of roads lol.. On the std 172 suspension theres...

Preferably as close to Blackburn/Darwen as possible! Theres lots to choose from but having no experience of them I wondered if anyone has been to any local to me. For a refurb on springs and shocks.

Is it just mine? lol Whenever its -5 on the temp display the car will start first time evertime and cut out immediately, on second start up its fine... Thing is if its any other temp above -5 (-4, -2, 0, 4 etc etc) it starts perfectly! Is there some kind of reaction at -5 to fuel or...

Poo day so a couple of quick crap pics, thought about cleaning it then it pissed down! - half tempted to get the center caps done in carbon with std badges? Ooops sorry wrong picture :o

Do Trophy turini center caps pop straight into cup turinis? Surely they must do as only the offset is different? Anyone know the part code too please? Thanks!

Which would youy choose? Basically I've got a choice of three types of tyres, The Eagle F1's, P Zero's and Sportrac 3's... I've got 3 of each now I bust one of the Sportracs, wanting to make a full set but not sure which to choose I Don't think I want to keep the Sportracs, they're not as...

Just want to see what they look like colour wise - the website colour looks good but you can never tell till they're on a car :) Just wondering how close it is to std renault items.

Are they held on by standard type rivets? I want to remove them and polish them back up - just wanted to know if they're easy to pop back on. Ta!

F7R - check dip stick, fill with oil check again - job done. F4R - check dip stick, wtf? wheres the oil level? check again, check a third time, fourth time - ok its there - right so how much to put it, start off with a little, no change, little more, wtf wheres the level gone again? little...

Who who who? :)

Righto, when I first got the car there was a little water coming through one of the gromits near the rear light clusters - sealed it in place jobs a good un... Few weeks ago I noticed the windows take forever to demist - after owning many mk1's thats always a well known sign (to me anyway...

.... for the car to feel like it does when the rear seats and boot carpet are out? Feels just that tad quicker and I like it!

please :)

which is bigger? or are they the same size? I.e if you try to put a renault cap on a speedline wheel does it fall through? too big for the wheel? just loose?

Seen you a few times now usually parked up, you were chatting to an rx8 driver today i think? Makes me cringe to think of the Trophy parked up there on a matchday! :)

Was asked what I wanted for xmas so decided to get a better power washer (i.e one that works lol) Whats the best vfm karcher available at the moment?

Being standard I can go anywhere, any hill, any speedbump, any car park and I have no banging, rubbing, cracked splitters etc! If I lowered it on sportlines would I have to be careful? anyone in the same car with these springs share their experiences? What about prolines also? are they...

After a great blast today I realised that I'm getting ahead of myself with coilovers - all the great drives in all the renaults I've had (more specifically the 172 and the williams) have all been on standard suspension, soaking up all the road has to offer while still giving decent levels of...

^^^^ Need to know how much I have to save!

Want them now! but worried on standard height 172 they will look tres gheyers... Anyone banged them on standard height for a while or for long term? Cheers!

As above really - my seats creak and groan like no other! getting on my jubblies to how unsuportive they are.. Sooo what work well as an actual seat (to actually allow people in the back!) and look well integrated into the car? I don't fancy some seats that stand out as not supposed to be in...

How does the ride quality compare with standard springs?, i'm really impressed how the standard springs dull most of the bumps and thumps I've come across on the roads albeit for more a bit body roll than I was hoping for.. My old Willy seemed to be a tad harder ride (but not by much at all)...

I had a rattle start the other day from the top of the dash, fixed it by giving it a clout lol... However now it seems I'm fudged the connector on the instrument panel to the speedo as every so often it will die, quick clout again and its back up and running! My question is do I just need...

With the being recliners does that mean they slide to give access to people in the back?
