THIS.
what is going on with this place recently. I only kept my 200 for 10 months, 15k miles but it was the best handling car ive ever owned out the box, no need to change anything. factory tyres (think it was conti 3's on it?) had bags of grip, wear rate was good and they wernt too expensive...
Really depends on history and tbh sometimes just luck of the draw! Mine is on 150k and runs like new! I had another on 155k that shat a gearbox but still ran brilliant engine wise
my 172 on a 182 manifold, ktec decat and ktec stealth exhaust with matched inlets and the standard map used to pop flames on high rpm gear changes when it was mega hot
yeah mate definitely it owes me hardly anything too!!
the springs are -60mm lower with dampers to match! ive had the springs just on their own on a dci 65 and it was horrible but with matching dampers they are stiff but handles really well
Cheers Chief!
Bit of a running joke with John at Progrip as every time I take a Renault in somthings not quite right with it, my 200 was obviously bent in every area it could be, my flamer had a bent hub, my ph1 had a bent lower arm, my twingo had a bent rear beam (2yrs old, mint with 20k on...
apparently enables VVT from cold too im sure rather than the standard map where its only activated over a certain coolant temp. which is what makes it smooth to drive from cold.
im sure I remember henk saying that on here a while back
agreed with the above tbh, not very cumfy, sit too high, look the part though and don't seem to be wearing too badly! I sit much lower and twice as comfortable in my dci!
I don't do many miles so the mpg isn't an issue for me, and being 25 with 9yrs ncb insurance isn't an issue for me however my trophy stays in my heated garage and only comes out in the dry, is immaculate and low miles so I could never take it to work with me (im a store manager with a...
Depends on what your looking for i paod a grand for mine and its worth its weight in gold to me, its rough with 150k miles it never lets me down and i dump it in dodgey places or busy carparks withoit worrying!
Decat pipe along with your current full exhaust system is about as close as you will get to a pop and banging exhaust if its a 1.4 16v (k4j i think) speak to fastchip about an rstuner map with pops
Rs tuner remap sorts the lumpy idle and kangarooing when cold as well as giving you a lot more pull mid range.
Headlight lenzes can be purchased from renault but not cheap id imagine! Replace the cracked one from ebay and get the 3m headlight restoring kit to bring them up like new, just...
to be honest mate TCE Twingos may be cheap to run from a servicing/tyres/insurance point of view but fuel consumption isn't brilliant, standard or modified mine mostly done low 30's mpg, although I never really hang about that was mostly using the torque, maby if you drive it off boost it will...
one would suit me perfect I recon as a quick daily driver as I only use the trophy a few days a month but im just not willing to part with the cash they are asking for one
