Oh yeh, I'd never take it to Renault. This other specialist who quoted me £750 is literally 2mins from me whereas Rentech's a good hour drive. Not that far but it all makes the difference :) I'll try give Dave/Mike a call tomorrow as they didn't answer when I tried earlier.
A couple of my mates spotted him on the M25 early one morning and... well... their exact words were... "Damo, do you know that c**k in a Trophy with a black bonnet and bootlid. His driving's fcking awful". So... I knew straight away who they were talking about.
Has Matt moved away from here now?
My car's due its 74k service, which will also be the cambelt jobby. I've been quoted £600 (including a service) by Rentech and I "always" take my car there and have never been anywhere else with it, over the last three years of owning the car.
I've been to a local Renault specialist who has...
It can be yours for £5k :)

Yeh it's pretty quick. It's recently had the Evo 8 lump fitted and I "think" it's currently pushing out around 500bhp. It's still not ready as he's aiming for around 600bhp :)
Ah so it was you who spoke to him. He mentioned that to me.
I don't think any of our lot did. We did however get...
I was indeed on track. I was on at 11:40 and 4:15 along with my mate in the white Evo VI Tommi Mak. and another mate in the blue Impreza STi.
My mates blue Vento is indeed a race spec. car and it's not road legal. Pushing out around 275bhp :)
Nah they're not my pics. They're just pics I...
Yeh I saw yours parked over there as I was walking towards the hill next to the hairpin.
I saw you too. I was in the silver Ph2 172. Drove past you as we were heading back to the tents at the end of the show :)
Yeh that was pretty quick. My mate (light blue Vento) had fun with him :)...
Nothing at the mo but I'll pay for what I need :)
I use the car as a daily driver and take it out on track approx. 4/5 times a year. It seems the DS2500 pads are rated at the mo :)
I have a Ph2 172 with the standard discs/pads and they're due to be replaced soon as they're getting a little worn and after the track day yesterday, I need to go bigger and better.
Are the 197 or Megane 225 brakes bigger/better?
So what do you recommend?
Lets just say my mate at Kwik-Fit sorted me out a VERY good deal after telling him I could get them for £170 delivered. So he did an even better deal :)
Ah nice one. My mate also has one.. also in white :)
However, the car developed a slight problem the night before our 'Ring trip last year, which resulted in him having to source a new engine. He now has an Evo 8 lump in it, pushing (at the mo) around 600bhp.
Love it! :)
Well... yes. I asked to keep the spare tyres as a new type of R888 :)
Erhhh... well... kind of. A few track days last year and the 'Ring back in August. They started to get quite bad around November and I have only just had them changed. Bad times.
Well my Toyo's had seen better days...
So I'm now running Toyo's (from the rear) now on the front and new Michelin's on the rear... for now :)
I managed to get 2 x Michelin Pilot Sport Exalto 2's for £165, including fitting :)
What do you think? The very much bald one was on the NS but the OS one wasn't too bad.
Oh well, I'm now running Toyo's on the front and Michelin's on the rear... for now :)
After all that, I may now be going for a normal (Cup) splitter direct from Renault as the price I'd pay on either postage from K-Tec or me spending the money on fuel to get there and back, it's the same price as getting one from Renault and I like the subtle/standard look :)
I'm not a ClioSport member so the price will be as per the website. And... I'm not "that" far from them so I'll probably just drive down there and pick it up. I think P&P is around £20 and I'm pretty sure I can get there and back for less than £20.
I was given a price of £165.01 for a...
A while ago, I bought a 2nd hand Cup/Trophy splitter for my 172. About a month ago, it developed a crack, which must have been the result of coming into contact with a kerb.
I'm now looking at getting a CF one from K-Tec as they look better than the standard Cup ones and are quite a lot...
