Yes, Nick is right Vauxhall used to make good cars, Cav GSI/Turbo, Senny 24v, then they lost the plot and started building all that BLAND BORING rep sh*te. Sombody told me the other day that astra/coupe turbo was good with the new saab engine? b****cks more like, it will be the same torque...

Larger turbos have trouble drawing in air (imagine the energy you would need to draw positive suction on say, a wheely bin, it would be immense) so around the outside of the turbo (or standard rotary supercharger) is an air diffuser ring. This is a plate that has a divergent nozzle effect, there...

You are describing another type of supercharger (by technical definition) similar to a roots type unit. Sorry, its been done. Ever heard of variable vane geometry? This works using small air cyclones to increase boost pressure.

Alot of new Renault stuff is from Nissan, Renault are still in the financial sh*te so they are product sharing with thier partner company. HKClioman got it right on the head, they failed to match the gears to the characteristics of the motor.

yep, if it is the same alarm as they fit to the 172 (james p s imported 172 didnt have an alarm, he got the cat one upgrade from Renault leeds for £300) then you will simply push your plip button and it will lock and arm all at once. Even will relock after 90 seconds or so if you unlock the...

Had this mis fortune to get a new megane as a rental car from Heathrow the other day. Oh dear, why have Renault still not learned anything about building cars...... Any way this was a 2.0 litre, engine numbers have different prefix to 172 so it is undoubtedly a different motor,and the gearbox...

Loved the Integra type R, some one said it was pure and it was, its a coupe so it was race bred. Strongly Disagree with the comments about CTR. Drove an ST170 at an event and then right after got in the CTR. It is not in the least bit entertaining to drive other than in a straight line...

Gti180 is not quicker off the mark than a 172. But it is quicker on the move and it handles tighter. I liked the pug cos its the closest yet to the original 1.9Gti 205. My mate who works at Peugeot Development said they spent alot of time driving 172s, they should be almost the same.

My mate who works at TRM (the place were they bash cars into walls all day) tells me that pretensioners are only to ensure that the weblock engages on the seat belt in an accident. If you are sat correctly and your seat is adjusted properly then they do not make any difference to your survival...

I always get the kamikaze bird in the Ford Mundane-o who still wants to pass me when im doing 95! Or better yet those arsehole salesman in V6 Vectras, NEWSFLASH, they are NOT fast! my beemer will be supping optimax long after they have fallen off the road.

Yes very much so if it would fail its mot(if it were due), but by your tone i presume Mr dealer wasnt going to play our tune?

mmmm, dont make cars like that anymore, its not allowed, sounds like a 1.6 Gti 205.......

Well done mate, thats the way to do it! make the car handle and stop better first, then do the power business. if you like point to point racing, you probs wont need more go, you will outrun standard motors purely because your better anchors will haul you down faster and stiffer springs will...

Its not dangerous to run with a split cv boot, it will just get water and road muck in the actual universal joint and will seriously shorten its lifespan. You fail and mot with a split cv boot, so best to get fixed soonest. Colins motor with the creak on it needs lookin at, you didnt say if it...
