can yo get inot the local meets section of the forum? there sis thread in there,
i think the details are yet to be finalised, but a few of us are going for a hurl upto crail this 02/03/08. it'd be good for another 1.2 to go so i'm no left for dust like last time lol.
ive heard that the 1.4 is quite poor economy wise, ,my 1.2 averages, 44ish thats with 30miles aday on the motorway and perhaps only 50 town miles aweek, but the car parks are a beatch tho. when i rag it i generally cant get it any lower than 38 lol. abd i cant get it to break 50mpg, i done a...
yep standardm it but i think for some reason mine and my brothers dunmiques look lower than alot of 40 mm dropped cars in the other thread like yours, but i'm thinking of going abit lower if i can get springs at the right price.
yea i cant go lover than 40 becauseof a my insurance wont let me ( upto 50mm drom £45- lower £120!!) also the roads round me are crap with massive pot holes and the council have a fetish for speed bumps, but my car sits as low if not slightly lower than the one above as standard.
eibach get a...
hi guys ive been looking for lowering springs for my 1.2, i've been told the apex ones are pretty good, but ive tried looking but i cant find apex ones for the 1.2, if it was a 1.4 it'd be easy but alot of the springs and kits state these will not fit a 1.2,
any ideas where i can get them or can...
sure it is just that ther is no one, seeding, thats major problem recently loads of leechers but hardly any one seeding. probs because the use arent really online when we are, to if you schedule the downloads for over night they usually fly, once america comes online so to speak, but it is...
alot of people say you are lucky to get 27 out of them, the gear box doesnt really help as the 6th gear is the same ratio as the 5th on a 1*2.
197s are insurance group 15 iirc, compaired to the 16 and 17 of the 1*2 sand cups. due to their higher crash rating 5 ncap stars opposed to 3-4 in the mk2
(sorry for double post but my PSP would not let me type any more)
rectify the error at the earliest instance and had been honest and added to their misadvice they offered to meet me half way or to cancel the policy without charge. i chose the former as it was less hassle. but i managed to get...
we'll scag your prediction was almost correct. having given them 2 days to call me back i called to chase. i was told that they had not found the tape yet but they now had 3 ops looking and they would let me know within 3 hours. an hour passed and i got a call stating they only had half the call...
i quoted random cars last night for next year when i'm 22, with 2ncb etc, and the cheapest i was getting was 920 for a focus RS! it was £100 less then a 197 and £200 less than a 1*2, which i found strange, the focus st170 was the same as a cup and the trophy was more than Leon cupra R.
that does seem might low but i suppose ther is a bell curve for insurance my dad for example can insure pretty much any thing for under £400, but he cant get any one go less than £195, it was the same for my clio (Grp3) as it was for his 1.6 laguna (Grp 11or 13) that what it bottoms out at lol...
ive been thinking of getting one of thes egrills bit, i was driving out he works car park and spotted a girls campus sport and it has a different grill again, not like the cheesegrater/honeycome one on the ph2/3, its just horrizontal slashes, what do you recon would it look any good on a ph3...
likinig the mk3 alloys on the mk2, they suot the car alot better than they do the car they were intended for.
i'm thinking of dropping mine 40mm and seeing howlong the shocks last, hopefully long enough to me to have saved enough for uprated shock lol.
apex any good ive heard of sagging...
i'm not sure those are genuine ones gox ive for 4 identical ones sitting at the foot of my bed, i looked at fitting them but basically the only ones which will fit and look decent and not way over sized are going to be the proper £60 renault ones the small moulded numbers.
ive tried finding them...
god knows i think the batteries are going either that or there is something interfering with the reciever, plus its one of those compact numbers to buttons are squashed in , for example the space bar is about an inch long and the insert key is handily right next to the full stop and home next to...
good deal, i was gonna comment that your brother might need to bend over for insurnace on it if its his first car being a 1.4 and a quicksilver (i think its a stupidly high insurance group for what it is) like 2k+ but if he doesnt need to buy the car then i suppose he'll be able to afford it...
they ar enot nice inthe flesh sam withthe new corsa, there is too much going on withthem, the clios design looks quite dubdued by comparison. i dont like modern dersigns. i think some of the nicest cars ar bout3-5 years old, the new ones all sorta look the same due to euro safety non sence, like...
yep the parents will bring down the policy a fair bit usually. especially your mum.
as for your occupation most would accept apprentice as the occupation, but if in doubt do it over thephone and let them decide for you.
they've not phoned me yet, i dont know whether to get on chasing a decision or give them until tomorrow. its now been 25hours hours so far and they said it'd be atleast a 24 hour turn round.
to be honest i'd go with the newer car with the warrnaty, just for the piece of mind, the 1.2 i thought would be too slow and not very good but, to be honest i love the wee thing, if you drive it liek your french you get rewarded, , you can have just as much fun and get into just as much...
your probes thinking of the mk2 ph3, its got 75 horse inthe 1.2 16v, the 1.4s 98 and are reallly thin on the ground, i coulnt find one that was in a decent knick for my money (5k)
the proper mk3 (new clio), has a nor mal 1.2 with 75 ps, and a 1.2 with a turbo 100ps, as has the new twingo.
i know, thank god for training purposes they recorded the calls.
if it was my work and we misquoted or client or noticed we hadnt priced some thing but the project was already accepted and ineffect, the admin (depending on the size of the error) would be getting a toe right up their ring, and...
i purchased the insurance on line but i have no proof either way if it a mistake i made or if its been a freak admin problem as non of bells correspondance other than the hard copies of the insurance made no reference to gender, only addressing me as Ross.
I dont have a problem with paying an...
