Maybe most of my tyres have been rubbish but ive found my Toyos fine in the wet. They came out as the best wet tyre in the Evo test I think. In the damp they are rubbish. In the dry I dont think they are a patch on my old A539s but they were pathetic in the wet. Ive had Mich Pilots -...

Welcome to the madhouse Simo!

never turn the PC off - its easier that way:p Im no expert on powerchips for Renaults - the likes of hillpower, superchips & Unichips are more recognised as far as I know. Although there was a small debate about hillpower chips after a Rolling Road session on renaultsports forums. I cannot...

Listen here kermi wormi;) I couldnt be arsed even trying to look

got a link to the site so I can see what it actually is they are selling and claiming before I comment on it?

Like the R32 and S3 - VWs often use better materials but are now "always" better built;) My manager will be glad to see the back of his TDi.

All the cars ive owned have done this. Seems more noisey on the 16v cars tho - maybe thats just me. Just assumed it was lack of oil around the engine - once is warms a bit it starts lubricating again properly? Just a guess.

About 15% very very roughly off Fly to get ATW. I got mine done at STAR and they seem to come up with the most bizzare figures ATW for everyone. Very similar to those posted origionally.

I find my Toyos the best tyres ive had in the wet so far. Im sure the Evo test put them second behind the F1s in the wet tests but i dont have that Evo anymore. The Contis came out best in the dry but one of the worst in the wet* *this is from memory so it could all be completely wrong LOL...

I think the chip/panel filer/de-cat are the cheapest mods. After that I think its engine time. If a moderator could move this to Power, Mechanical it would get a response. Or do a search - there may be some stuff in the archives but they have been deleting stuff.

Yours has only done 84k - there was someone on here with a Valver that had a higher milage and was putting in impressive figures. Then again finding a reliable rolling road is impossible anyway.

MartinS you had your car RRd since it was all done?

Down to traction I guess. Really 30-100 would be impressive but I doubt it would get a great 0-60 (assuming its FWD)

When driving with my lights on at night the brightness off them is pathetic. On full beam its not bad - on normal its like having candles for bulbs. There are some clear headlamp protecters on which may make things better if I take them off but not that much surley? Also the light doesnt...

New leader:D

yeah - but its only been RRd once so I cant compare against any other RRs. If I could get myself to a Scottish RR day to compare against other Clios etc. To be honest the car should have around that BHP judging by its speed in comparason to other cars and my last car. I still want...

Funny you should ask - just hit 32,000 today on the way home from work.

LOL - I read that review back in January and it was one of the persuading factors in me getting a Williams.

Its depends on where you live and you stats who is cheapest for you. HIC didnt beat Tesco for me - in fact no-one has in the last 4 years. Tesco seems to like the Highlands.

Mine is £395 FC with Tesco - they now have a strange rating system - I think the Williams is a 85 out of 100 with them:confused:

Its now group 15 - about the same as a RST as del boy has said.

The temptation to mod my FRST is why I now have a Williams (along with the lack of PAS) Although the modding bug doesnt go away - A chip, filter, de-cat is required;)lack of money has stopped me so far!

More likely if it has leather it was done afterwards. Mine has beed reliable but when I need something done it has cost a fair bit. The alarm went faulty also my starter motor since ive owned it (Feb 03). Ive done around 5,000 miles in it. Renault wanted to charge me £40 to fit a fog...

Yup - that seems a bit expensive for a 99k Willie!

The Matrix in my old ZX died one day when the Girlfriend was driving. Steam & smoke everywhere - to make matters worse the electrics died and she couldnt get the window open. Thankfully she was only 50 yards from my work - I did laugh when appeared from a car full of fog - you couldnt see her...

Hmm if you like the Astra the try a test drive - personally I think they look very boring but im not up on the peformance and handling on these.

Try a search as I posted them recently (saves me getting the reviews out Again!)

we need no warning......;)

Does someone want to work the figures out? I reckon from a quick calculation that the Cup has a better power to weight than the 182.
