LMAO off at people saying they would go for a turbo to keep air con! Not needed in the UK, waste of time IMO! Its that cold most of the year that if you put your window down its colder than air con! In the summer I never used my air con anyway! feels so much better to have the window down on a...
Done search on this but cant find exactly what I need.
I have michelin exaltos 205/45/16 on and want to know what tyre pressures to run, the back of my car is stripped so obviously that should make a slight difference even though what I have taken out doesnt way a massive amount, also the...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Haha lmao! I like it how they call them crappy little 182's! This is what I love about the renaultsport clio's, there totally under rated even in standard form!
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
I've spent about £5k on the car since I got it, about £4k on
the SC conversion.
It's just my iPhone on the docking station mounted to the screen! Handy for catching little races out and about! Got quite a big collection building up now! Lol
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
No the work has only just started! got a spare engine ready for a forged rebuild which then should allow 300-400 horses depending on how far I wanna stretch it really and how safe I wanna run it!
Also looking into suspension mods at te minute and...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Haha, this makes me laff! I never said it was 297! What a load of shat! Maybe u miss heard me considering we were shouting accross? Don't join a forum and come on to **** the members off! I obviously missheard u because i swore u said it was a...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Sorry mate there must have been some confusion?! I swear u said it was an STI? I thought I heard 297 and repeated it I didn't tell you what mine was running did I? Tbh tho it was hard to hear u! I wasn't trying to big myself up! I don't need to...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Ah! Gutted! Lol. I thought it was an STI coz they run just under 300 standard! Bloody nice car though for a WRX! Carbon fin on the top of the rear window looks awesome, it looked like a proper rally sl@g! Do u know him well?
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
If you take a look at post #1 it lists the parts that you get for your £4k. Internals won't last forever but it's holding out good so far with no signs of weakness! I've covered over 3k hard miles on the stock internals.
I have a spare engine...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
You can't of read the whole thread, lol ;)
a page or two back I mentioned that I have replaced the horrible apex springs with the oem springs. I also mentioned looking for some coilies. An LSD would be awesome but at this stage there's other more...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
In the wet I get LOTS! Spins thru 1st, 2nd and 3rd but I think that's probably down to the tyres I have on at the minute - there fecked! Lol. In the dry I get very little but when it's wet it's useless, I dare say a standard 172 would keep up with...
Just watched the top gear with the 182 on, it was on Dave! PE2'S look awesome! car gripped like a MF! I think il go for them!
Anyone know of any place that sells them at a good price?!
Im totally stuck on what tyres to buy! Ideally I dont want to spend more than £80 per corner and I want something thats average in the wet and dry!
What would you choose, from:
Michelin PE2 - £?? each
Toyo Proxe T1R - £50ish each
Yokohama Parada - £80ish each
Yokohama S.drive - £60ish each
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
My car probs is less than 1100kg is it not? No rear seats or rear plastics, and sound deadening removed from under carpets and engine bay. I was thinking more 1000kg's? Although what ive removed is not 100kg worth! :S
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Today I had a little play with a Subaru Impreza WRX.
I was on my way to a friends when he got right up my trumpet and came flying past me! I got behind him at the lights on the slip road to the motorway and I knew he was gunna try n show me up. Little...
If you take the clocks out is there anyway to remove the airbag light and serv light? Am I right in thinking there sealed units with no bulbs in the back? Im sure I read somewhere that theres a way round it though!
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Got the car in the garage today, put the OEM springs back on! Apex's are terrible! The ride is just :dead:!! Ive suffered about 9 months with them now and just got fed up! Currently looking for some coilies!! :D
