Got home to find a powercut this morning; so I thought I'd clean the car... damn cold water! :( (^OMG I've kerb that one a bit toooooo much...heh) Then for all you cleaning freaks: ^ Not looking too shammy for 9yr old paint that hasn't had anything that Turtlewax Shampoo...

Very nice wheels performance-wise, they're a good match for the Clio! 195/45/R15 for me! -Akira

I think one bucket is hardcore! AFR guage is a bit hoooooooooge, but better than being too small I guess. Really loving the look of it. I think assymetry rocks. -Akira

ZOMG somebody stole my wheels :O -Akira

My budget option: £100 for the 2... bargain. Makro cash n carry, w00t. Rear seats have been removed since then, and I'm building me an MDF install. I'll post that when done! -Akira

Loving the 'teg, what engine is it rocking? Is it an EDM model? B18C1 lump? -Akira

Good colour ;) -Akira

I was gonna label them when I made the panoramic shot...but... then realised I didnt know whos was whos. We could label them 1-28 or whatever and have everyone take a number ^_^ -Akira

^Awesome pic matey! That gets my vote. Can you post a link to the high res version of that? 'tis trés beau! :) -Akira

Was a great turnout! Much better photographers there than myself, so i'm sure their pics will be up soon enough! :) Great to meet everyone, and grats to Jay for arranging! (even if he didn't buy the food in the end :( ) -Akira

Just some I took, and hashed into panoramas. Click images for huuuuge versions. -Akira

Yes, NFSMW is on the PC :] I believe there are mods for GTA that add clios too :) -Akira

Phase3s were thrown together with whatever parts reno had left :] I'm sure my clutch is out of an espace -_- -Akira

A touge (pronounced: Tougé) is the japanese word for "Mountain Pass" but it generally gets mis-used to mean simply any winding road which is not built for race purposes. EG: bumpy surface, wet leaves, no run-off zone, etc. The term "Touge Monster" comes from a Japanese series called BMI, where...

Heh, road driving is totally different to track driving. With no run-off zone, its just as much about guts n skill as it is BHP. -Akira

Re: And Now To Work... Va Va VOOOOM! :D I'd love to see it on a Gymkana! :) With that much torque, its gonna be very nimble... gonna be good on the twisty uns! -Akira

Tyres; 195/45/15 PCD: 4x100 Bore: ø60,1 Fitting Kit: K 241 OE was 13x5.5 with offset of E36. New is 15x7 with offset of E35. Hope that helps. -Akira

Re-va va voomed! :D New box should be great! :] -Akira

Stop watch... 0-60 (in a controled environment) and post zee results. ...if it starts counting in the minutes...u can call it a day... -Akira

Damn straight! King of the downhill, my B/C57! :D -Akira

Well, Hope you dont loose sleep at night just because I have a sticker on my car ^_^ People wear "Harvard" T-shirts and stuff with never attending harvard! The same goes for apperel with US flags on, etc. I mean.. my car has a renault badge on it.... but I've never been to the renault...

Yeah... I've done like... 100 laps of Nordschleife in Gran Turismo 4 and Project Gotham 3. Its not a suitcase... the sticker doesnt mean I've been there. ;) -Akira

Thanks guys! :) Wheels are Team dynamics Pro Race 2 in white. (15" - 6.4kg) Click here I think the "nurumberg" decals help to set off the whole red-white thing. I may need a new zorst, as my current one is OE and has always been a lil' "saggy"...and its now the worst enemy of any speed...

No engine work... waste of money tbh, I'll just buy a valver lump if this one dies. Where I live, there's no such thing as a straight bit of road ;) The back could go lower... but I'd hate the weight distribution. As for the front, well, -60mm is the lowest kit they do! And I get 0 scrape on...

60mm at the front (hasn't settled yet...only done last night!) and about 65mm at the back. More Pics. -Akira

Freshly lowered yesterday, I now dub my car the "Touge Monster!" All shall ph33r it's 1.4 8v engine! I took it for a rapido drive down some lanes last night, a friend in a gas-flowed, polished VTR couldn't keep up (of course, we didn't exceed 60mph :) ). Its like it's on rails! Best money ever...

Gonna lift the powerplant out the GT3R? :D or is that not Yozza enough? I'll defo keep my eyes out for you on the road now... -Akira

What a small world it is! To cut a long story short, I was visiting a restorer of racing cars from yesteryear as part of a job. While waiting to speak to somebody I waited on the balcony... where I obsereved quite the collection of cars. Mental trail was something like this; "Oooh... a...

The white one? I'll try park next to you more ^_^ Red and white go well... :P I too need a CS sticka. -Akira

I know Vinny sprayed expanding/insulation foam behind some of his trim to stop rattling... could be messy though! -Akira
