For those who cant read the first post, the options were Clio or Ferrari. No Skylines or Evos were mentioned. :sleep: Think of the re-sell value too. The Ferrari wont depreciate, the Clio will, alot! You may even make money on the Ferrari too when you come to sell it, provided you look...

Remember to leave a message if there is no answer, hes probably on a tea brake!!! errrr, sorry, I mean working on a car!! ;) Just kiddin Andy!!!

400+ not got an exact figure yet, but its going to be in excess of.....

Nicky - Dont take things so serious ;) Im not that cruel. Although if I was in that situation and I knew for cetain who had damaged my car, I would retaliate, something subtle tho, and frequent. Nail in the tyre once a week, little dent in the wing, spray his wheel luminus green etc..... but...

Ok then, oil on the brake disks and let them smash up their own car!!!

Brake fluid all over his roof, and spray his brake disks with loads of WD40!

Whats even funnier, is when its late at night and you come up behind a car sitting in the middle lane without any other cars in site! Im mean, are they really that stupid not to know to drive on the inside?! I just trundle past about 1mph faster than them on the inside giving them the "Are you...

There is no such thing as a fast lane. Speed limit on a motorway is the same for all 2, 3 or 4 lanes (how ever many it has). Im assuming you mean, if the overtaking lane is being hogged by a BMW driver who has no idea of lane disiplin (sp?).? Highway code says that once you have overtaken...

Everything in the engine bay sits in pretty much the same place as is does in the GT Turbo. You will need to move your battery tho. Do a search and you should find loads of pics of Bruns car that GDI done. HTH

He most certainly does. He even makes a smashing cupa! ;)

Andy, I cant remember what power you said the rollers went upto? Dont know if I should take the Sup or the 5 turbo?! Guess that means Ill be there too! ;)

Hi mate, get the cops number off the producer he gave you, go to the police station and tell them you would like to make a complaint against that officer and tell them the whole story. [Edited by Barryd on 13 May 2004 at 7:49pm] [Edited by Barryd on 13 May 2004 at 7:52pm]

Air / moisture in the lines. Give them a bleed.

Yeah, but looking in a mirror cant really be compared to having no brakes! ;)

Err, your gonna spend £8.5k on a Saxo!? If you want a fast car that handles well, I can think of a few other cars Id rather have for that money than a Saxo! PMSL!!!

Was just about to type the same but thought Id better check that no one else had first! You beat me to it! What a silly question to ask! Youve f**king driven them, what do you think!Duh!

You can add a port if you like, it will sound worse though as ported boxed need to be bigger than sealed ones. Unless youve build the box yourself and its too big!

The float could be stuck in the carb, not allowing any petrol into the float chamber.

Like Ben says, go to Renault and buy the premix coolant. Will either be Type C or D, cant remember off the top of my head. There is no such thing as Williams coolant! (pmsl!!!), your car isnt that special!. Its just a bog standard 2L engine! You also dont need a low temp stat, unless you...

Nick - Do you think it might be better, and probably cheaper in the long run, if you go to someone like Quafe and get them to build you a gearbox capable of taking that sort of abuse?

I did chuckle when I saw that, Im sure it didnt mean to sound the way it did. Ive heard nothing but praise on your work Ben.

No power steering. But you could always fit an electric pump if you want, the 1.9 diesel Clio uses one if I remember rightly.

Are you looking for a car that will also be an every day driver, or just a toy? Ask yourself what you want the car to be able to do, Im not having a dig, but judging by the other threads about handling etc, I think you could quite easily narrow down your choice as you know your driving style...

Anyone know of any (or maybe you are one) round the Herts area, Im having big problems with the wifes RTs lights / indicators / wipers etc.... Cheers

Where the hell did you hear that!!!? All RWD cars have larger rears than fronts. My Supra has 255s on the rear and 235s on the front.

Standard fitment rears are fine, they dont really get much abuse (unless you drive your car in rallys!!). Yes, the bearing are pressed in, get new ones, not worth the hastle of removing the old ones, they will probably break anyway if you try!

Goto http://www.machinemart.co.ukwww.machinemart.co.uk They have x2 axle stands and small trolly jack for about £40 I think. And will deliver.

Regular oil changes and look after it and youll probably see it past 200k. Just dont neglect those little noises that you hear and usually think nothing of. They dont appear for no reason. Its funny that most people think that once a car gets to 100k miles then its all down hill. If you...

The same thing happens with the wifes 1.4 RT. Tickover is up and down once the engine has warmed up, but its never stalled, it just wont stay still. Ive not looked at what it could be yet, but my guess is what Brun just posted, the idle control motor.

If you mean over the 1/4 mile, then DD Autosport (no longer trading) have that record for 2wd. Europarts have the record for twin engine R5 over 1/4 mile. Not sure what site youll find it on tho. DDs car done it in 12.64 (I think) and Europarts was something like 11.1, faster than a Lambo...
