It looks like I will be car-less :(

Bonkers isn't it!

It's always been £700+ for me as a <25 year old Even this year now I have reached 25 it's still £500ish for my 182 - but with negligible increases for 300bhp. Its cheaper (insurance wise) to drive my dads twin turbo jaguar xf sport brake.

Probably a couple of weeks - there is no rush though

We have progress

What car is it? £200 for a 1*2 sounds far too cheap...

It's an E63.....

Have we even seen pictures of the 182: pre-crash??

I doubt he will be posting in this thread again...

But it is cold enough in this country...

Thats exactly what I did: Steelies for £50 and winters for £200 delivered - job done

They aren't for a few days - they are for an entire season! Winter tyres work much better than summer tyres in temps below 7 degrees and of course in wet conditions. The difference they make to the stability of a car in cold and wet conditions is staggering.

15.8mpg I 'think'

I like that ALOT - cool car.

If I had some 15" wheels I would bite your arm off mate - but I currently only have 16" Cup wheels (admittedly I have a couple of sets)

Thanks Chip, thats essentially what I expected.. I think they might be worth a punt to be honest

I ordered the ones he suggested and they have been great!

Since the clio will be running a reasonable amount of horsepower I have started to look for a more performance orientated tyre than my P-Zero neros for the summer. These are road legal and astonisghingly cheap, but for fair weather use (I have a few sets of wheels and wouldn't be used often)...

Glad you are ok mate... That's the main thing

Interesting....

Saw this pop up on FB, wondered if you were on here!

No massive updates yet unfortunately. Andy has been getting all the final parts together that I overlooked, inc a better oil return + 172 inlets in order to use the phase 1 engine (ahem - sorry Andyrg ) and we have agreed how the water feed is going to run etc. I am led to believe it'll be up...

Car looks great mate. What suspension are you running?

Jesus - thats not shy..

Whats happened?

Seems like turbo clios are the new flavour of the month! And a good few of us will be running 300bhp + by the looks of things

Looks brilliant mate! What sort of power are you going for?
