Im pretty sure that they will just take the car as it is. If you get on with the garage owner they might let you take bits off but only after the assessment has been carried out. The only other alternative is to find out which scrap yard its ended up in and buy the bits back off them.

Given that you can no longer get the supersprint; what exhausts are there available for the discerning gentleman who wants to make a f**king racket? Want one that sounds raw without making a noise like a sumo wrestler farting into a dustbin after a heavy night on the curry. Also, do exhausts...

Define street race style?

Not really. Although if Im driving along and I switch the air con I can hear the engine note change slightly. I can see the eefect its had on the fuel consumption tho, its going through petrol pretty quickly at the moment.

So if a car is crashed and then the cost of the fix is covered by the insurance, its a Cat X jobbie then?

Just read in another thread that a Cat D is where the car has been damaged beyond economical repair (i.e. written off). What do the other types represent?

Thats why its always worth doing your homework before you go to look at a car. If you dont know any better, a dealer can fob you off with all sorts of bullsh*t.

Evo and Practical Performance Car. Sometimes get TRC is there are some good cars in it. I dont really like the writing in it much tho.

Looks like a fairly simple principle. No reason why it shouldnt gain a bit of power. I might see if I can make one up at some point to do a similar job and just put a universal sized filter on the end.

Remote on wire deffo connected? Failing that, check all the fuses, end connections and the earth point.

I saw your Vee at Cadwell. Do you live at Burton Waters by any chance?

Dunno why they bother. I mean I know they cant have anything super powerful but the cars only have a max speed of about 45mph. I cant see that its going to teach them anything about drag racing? Was the jet powered drag racer there? That thing is loud as hell, and it goes like a b*****d!

WITH THE EXTRAS ADDED, THIS CAR MUST ME KICKING OUT AROUND 190BHP!!! Interesting..... 10k Buy it Now price seems a tad optimistic.

Schmokin !

You can measure it from the roof to the floor if you really want to! It doesnt matter as long as you go from the same point each time. I found the most convenient way of doing it was from the bottom of the front bumper to the ground.

Win what? A beauty contest? As for performance Id guess they would be closely matched. Probably more likely to be separated by the driver than the car.

Cant believe how fast it gets from 70 to 100. Very impressive. It also looks very stable as well, mine starts getting all lairy at that sort of speed.

Could you not repair it by putting in a couple more self tapping screws? If you cant I think theyre about £120 from renault. (Thats a bit of a guess but Im sure they are more than a ton).

From the back that looks good. Especially with the standard lights on like loony said.

Buried.

Thats a great pic, Steve! Brian, Id say thats a patch of quality Yorkshire rough stuff there! Sure Steve will be able to tell us.

Spotted on Skellingthorpe Road last night. (Not by me tho) It had a CS Sticker in it apparently. I also saw a williams in Saxilby last night so it could be the same one??

Quote: Originally posted by AliasOmega on 03 July 2005 Get that, and if the door trim is billabong or something, change the door panel. Id collect if you could so you guarentee you get what you pay for and not damaged in transit. Very good point. What they say is very good condition could...

Arctic Blue is the best 182 colour. Flame Red is the best RenaultSport colour, obviously.

I think those wheels look much better in black than they do in grey. Whatever the colour of the car.
