Yeah where you get them? Would love a set of those in anthracite.

Get inferno, had a black car and it was a nightmare. To be honest though I reckon you would be out of order lumbering your old dear with a black car as it aint like she can spend as much time as is required to stop it deteriorating.

I have used ours and found it was ok. Good for a quick mid week wash but I wouldnt use it for my main wash. It really goes through the shampoo, you only need to spray a small amount as its so concentrated. A few seconds covers the side of the car and then you can brush it down before swilling...

These conversations where you get someone saying the Elise is better than a VX, the Impreza is better than an Evo etc really crack me up. You hear it in pubs and you hear it on internet forums but the bottom line is that the people who are saying this stuff are just a bunch of numptys who havent...

They were using one of those devices that they always use that measures G forces and all sorts. Cant remember the name of it now. Thought those types of devices (not neccessarily that exact same model though) are used to measure world records like that 0-100-0 thing...

In another issue of Evo that I got last summer they did a weird test with a range of cars from a 1.6 Focus as a control car all the way up the Caterham R500 and even a Porsche Cayenne. Anyway they did a 0-100 test 2up and with a full tank but the catch was that the track was wet and it still...

The quality issues with the Clio are more to do with small niggling problems like the odd rattle or in my case the emissions warning light came on - they never replaced the sensors, assume they were loose or the connection dirty or something. These cars lead a hard life and I think a lot of...

This too is what I found. The so called VTEC kick is no more (if not less) than the kick on a 182 but in the 182 it happens lower down the range so you get a longer burst. Below the kick point the Clio has more power and torque as well (per tonne if not in measureable output as well). The end...

Autocar 17.0 Evo 17.5 (2+, full tank usually)

Ive driven both extensively and hard. I could spend ages describing the minute differences between the two but the bottom line is that they are so similar I cant see why anyone would go from one to the other for the sake of it. My mates CTR has had more faults than my 182 though if that...

Come on man, you havent even colour coded it!

This video is great! I love the commentary!!! Reminds of the guys in the Italian job in the mini that was always lagging behind the others!!! I am curious though about the notes and stuff as you really could see how they slowed down when they lost their place in the notes. Presumably you...

The track days I have done have been very strict about where and how you overtake. Made for a quality video though!

Ive shown all my mates this video! Cant get enough of vids like that. In reference to an early post though, what is "the ring taxi"?? Also I assume the normal rules of a track day obviously dont apply to the ring!!!!

I am with Tesco, when asked if my car was modified I said "no its brand new straight from the factory". I expect they have that on tape and I reckon it covers me. They didnt even have the 182 on their system when I rang, they put it down as a 172 first of all and I had to phone up and get them...

Glad you learned your lesson about the mods! Standard all the way for me! Still old habits die hard and I bet a set of lexus lights may creep onto your Clio after a while..! With that paint you might want to start reading the threads about polishing etc. Hope that aint your first black car...

When ever I wash my car I dry and polish it off etc but then before applying wet look tyre spray and the like I just gently drive to the bottom of my road and back whilst holding the brake pedal a bit. That way the disks are clean and I can brush the orange dust off the wheels before applying...

The benefits of buying second hand! I ordered mine June last year and got it mid October!

Cant you just do the standard fix that we all used for the knocking under deceleration problem? I played with my mount and depending on which side you made the gap it would either knock under deceleration or acceleration. Just bung some rubber in the gap nice and tight problem solved?

When my neighbour got his from a Renault main dealer of all places the front splitter was missing a couple of the tyres were illegal and you could tell the fronts and previously been put on the rear. Also his tyre foam was missing and there were some other bits of trim hanging off. As if that...

I dont see a problem with this car. At the end of the day cars that we like to give a spanking to (Punto GTs, Golf GTis etc) would give a 1.2 such a kicking that they would immediately realise its a fake or assume that the driver wasnt trying. As for 1.4 Saxos and the like, well they know...

Hmm make sure its not HV04 KYT, that was my neighbours, its well shafted. Its so bad he gave it back and demanded his money and px car back.

Thats the case with LCRs etc so you are correct about that. The 2004 WRX is 315kg heaver than the full fat 182 though! Thats like towing a trailer with a motorcycle on it! When corning those extra 350kgs dont half hurt the tyres.

How much ££?

To be honest I absolutely never do standing starts. Dont see the point. So you wont catch me at a drag day or playing silly buggers at the traffic lights. It just knackers the clutch and the rest of the transmission. Also standing starts just emphasize the main weakness of an FWD so dont really...

They produce identical times at most trackdays when you take an average of the times set by the quickest 2 or 3 drivers in standard cars. Thats the end of argument.

I cant stop the left hand side of the windscreen heater vent creaking non stop on bumpy roads over 30mph. Absolutely does my head in!

Come on guys you are ruining the thread. Stay on topic or start a new thread in other marques about STis and the like. If you have an STI go to a track day and play with some cars that cost similar money - VX220 Turbos and the like. We all know why you wont do that and why you prefer to hang...

This is getting stupid now. Someone was comparing a 182 with what I assume is a standard UK 2004 WRX. STis, modded WRXs, 1000bhp Skylines and F1 cars all have **** all to do with this convo!!!!!!!!!!! This is a common problem on car forums these days, just because there is some hyper modified...
