6 years history but no ncd is the problem I'd have thought. Just a few years ncd would get close to halving the original quote, wouldn't it?

F*** about! Glad you're OK, could have been so so much worse.

The fast change maybe?

As Chip says...standard? My 172 Cup went from brand spanking new to 125k+ miles including a multitude of trackdays on one clutch. If you ride it or abuse it then upgrade but if not, I'd say upgrading is wholly unnecessary.

Any half decent PMR446 type radio will do just fine. I've got a couple of expensive Alinco ones from my Airsoft days along with some really really cheap Binatone ones, bought via eBay, £22 for a set of four with a desktop charger. The Binatone ones get use far more, capable and pretty much...

From the zombies menu select public match/whatever, then, it'll give you a second option to select the 'world' before you then get to select the map itself. Nuketown's in the new world option.

It won't. The weight savings are comparable if you look at a 5-door mk3 versus the 5-door mk4. The 200 is changing from a 3-door to 5-door though, so weight wise will be lighter from the technology, but heavier from the extra doors...so pretty much the same.

29th January.

I think the days of 'bespoke' for what is meant/needs to be a mainstream car have long gone Chris. As for the 'box...Renaultsport missed the boat with the current gen...a wheezy 2.0 NA when almost all others in its class are running forced induction. I think they're simply trying to predict...

I want to plan my year. If I'm coming to this, I need to block those dates out. Where the venue is is key in my decision to go or not...as Chip says, it's a pain in the arse!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is it Mark?????

Then that is the responsibility of the other vehicle owner to sort out. On track, you have no liability for damage to other people's cars, regardless of how it's caused. It's up to the individual to insure their own vehicle against unforeseen damage. The OP's excess will likely be more than his...

Anyone have any idea of what the CO2 rating is for the RS? Would be interesting to see how it stacks up against the competition that run manual 'boxes to see if there's any benefit there.

^^^ always be in the right gear at the right time. Also allows you to moderate your speed better using just the throttle as engine braking is more pronounced. Before I did the IAM I always used to go for the highest gear possible thinking it was the most economical...I was so far off the mark...

Surely some of the reasoning behind it is to do with efficiency? Can't modern DSG 'boxes accelerate quicker than the equivalent manual and also return better MPG? If so, eventually ALL cars are likely to come with them, just the same as how turbo engines are now replacing NA.

A bullet leaving the barrel of a S&W M29 .44 magnum has 1,267 ft lbs of energy to do damage with. A 1,000 kg car traveling at 65 mph has 283,000 ft lbs of energy. Go careful.

Could be the throttle body (or throttle pedal itself)...that's what my 172 Cup suffered from when it dropped into limp mode.

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... Answered this myself - circa £1,500 including VAT. So take that away from £21k for a more comparable price to the outgoing model and/or its rivals.

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... My thoughts exactly. As a comparison how much do VW charge for adding a DSG 'box to one of their cars over the manual version?

^ PS3.

No need though. They're functional and work well enough. If they had changed all those little items like everyone wants them to have done, it would probably add another £1k to the list price. Considering how irrelevant a door mirror switch is to the whole ownership and driving experience I'm...

Top up your brake fluid.

Never used that Euge one so can't comment but QuickBooks is worth a look.

I think that's a pretty good attempt. I reckon 95% of people that drove past would think it's genuine...at least until it accelerated than the noise would give it away.

LOL, nice work!

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news I feel exactly the same. Sadly though, the manual gearbox just like the high-revving NA motor we all love, is destined to become obsolete. Isn't it?

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Where's the Va Va Voom? No one knows until someone has driven it. Until then, how can you say it doesn't have any? How can you say it's safe and boring? It could be the edgiest FWD hatch out there regardless of the big headlights and 5 doors. If you don't...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news +1,000 Last time I looked the headlights on my 200 are fcuking huge, not sure why the size of the ones on this latest model are causing such debate.

I love your attitude and I love that. Guaranteed you are having more fun per £ than anyone else.

I found when running these that they did lack as sharp an initial bite as standard pads would give you. Have you run the, through any heat cycles? Got any pad material on the disc surface?

They're more road tyre than the likes of Toyo R888 or Yoko A048...have much more 'tread' for water dispersal, but are still a track tyre type of compound. best way to explain it is to say go and google image them, you'll see what I mean about the tread. can they be used on the road? I'm...
