pretty much all cars come with mineral oil, its for bedding in purposes until the rings bed in, its generally a bad idea to use fully synth from new, youll pay later (i dont want to get into a debate about this though, all the info backed up by all articles posted on the "run your car in hard...
just read this after picking evo today, v interesting. evo write some excellent articles, the fast fleet about the 6 series was funny its a shame all journalism isnt that good, also interesting (considering the other thread that shall not be named) to look in the back and compare the recorded...
interesting topic and there doesnt seem to be a common consensus
this article agrees with the one earlier

thats the best thing about the internet, you can read all the joke threads you want but nothing makes up for a few posts by a good old keyboard warrior, probably 17 years old lives with parents, doesnt get out much, been caught looking at p**n by his mum a few times etc etc. the funniest thing...
aah, thought it might be that obvious, never bothered checking on the test drives.
just been reading that the megane 225 doesnt give you the option as standard, what a bummer, although it does sound a bit disappointing from what ive read so far
my mates spent a fortune on his puma went from a 205 Gti 1.9 and he seriously rates it, always been a fan of ford handling though, drove a focus 2.0 zetec as a company car a few years back handling was excellent
jap crap ?? sorry mate but you ever owned a jap car (of any significance ??)
integra type-r for example normally aspirated bare minimum of kit inside probably the best handling front drive car ever made. just look up articles about em. you can pick a good one low mileage for around 9K

i asked this, went and got my local dealer to show me the difference, luckily he had a cup and non-cup 182 being prepped for delivery (starting to wish id ordered blue after seeing the cupped one today) best pics ive found on here where it is clearly visible are here...
got mine from http://www.lloydstsb.co.ukwww.lloydstsb.co.uk comes direct from manufacturer. prices change every day but they do a 50% Offer at the mo on options. i got mine for 13,389.75 with all cup bits
if you use stuff like autoglym fly and tar remover "PROPERLY" it works a treat. the car must be cold (so the bonnet isnt warm) and it must be out of direct sunlight. dusk is the best time to use it, although youll need decent light to see what you are doing. put plenty on then leave it for at...
yeh ive been through there and down to my local dealer who currently has a non cup 182. i can clearly see the difference in the rear spolier so i reckon ill be ok but its the front that has me confused it looks different but not much, just looking for a couple of key featurs to look our for so i...
ive searched but cant find anything on this. im looking for a pic that shows (apart from the alloys) the difference between a 182 with and without the cup bits. My 182 has been bought direct from Renault so will just be delivered in a couple of weeks, i want to be able to make sure quickly that...
"shocked that you went from a CTR to a clio tho? "
im not after 2 years in the breadvan i can see why people want them, theres a bit of an air of mystery about them i think, always double take them whenever is see one, masterstroke by honda, quick car but flawed, there was something about the...
the CTR was great but a really stressful car in my opinion. i had some major issues with the suspension i.e. one of the rear arms was 10mm too long, the customer service was first class and the issue was sorted straight away but it was an all or nothing motor. It wasnt an everyday car and...
Hello noob here, just sold a CTR after a couple of years ownership and decided to make a switch to the darkside, 182 delivered in 2 weeks. astounded on the test drive, took a 4300 mile one out nicely broken in with cup suspension. handling is different league to the Civic as is 0-60 IMHO not...
