Erm yes maybe in some cercumstances, but after seeing hippychicks car at the weekend youve gotta startt and really think about things like this. If my car had gone up when the viper was fitted and my insurance hadnt known - if it was only a partial engine bay fire (I.e. put out half way...

Hehehehhe I am :D And Ill be smiling even more when I get it back sometime this week :D Oh, simon got one figure wrong though, its 212bhp not 214 LoL (But it does pull 170lb/ft, 150 from about 2750rpm hehehehhe)

Low Low 18s, bambam was an 18.0something But freddy boy should have a 17 coming to him

Yup, Bambam is completely correct, there is no stipulation that a visual check should be carried out - so if youre emmissions are ok then you pass - :-)

OH MY GOD Blimey lass, well at least you are all ok, if theres anything I can do for ya, you only need to shout.

Erm, it should pass it mate (fingers crossed) but it doesnt have to be tested for another 18 months yet. My power gain is across the board, torque gets to about 150lb/ft by about 2500-3000 rpm, the gains are great, this is what throttle bodies can give you. The price seems very very low...

Did you post this in every forum?

Ive just got the halfords twin pack stuff on the williams, they blades, they clean water, and theyre cheap - what more do ya want?

Hmmmm Im the first owner of mine... and its done something over 21k miles..... wouldve done more if I hadnt stuck it in garages for the last 4 months :-S And no-one will get the chance to ever buy mine.

Nope, itll be in wombats - its the new tyre measurement unit dont ya know

_KDF - soz mate, but the lower the gear the better, if you left it in something like 5th the crank rotates very little per revolution of the driving wheels (Less engine resistance) thus the car would roll away easier.

Mate, if your tuning house says they can do a throttle bodies conversion all in for 1400 Euro then get it done, the power increase sounds reasonable for the engine. But really the price sounds too low, if I could have done mine for the equivalent of £1000 I would be laughing right now.

Well guys, I really dont know about mine, although I have driven it a bit I havent got it back yet (just waiting for 2 things to be done then its all mine hehehe) so until I can get it proved I cant really say anything.

http://www.powerengineering.co.ukPower Engineering in Uxbridge mate, we had an RR day not so long back, and I know them guys well, damn good bunch and with the number and types of cars they have through there all the time I can say theyre a well respected place.

erm 15-30 bhp? I dont think so lol

LMAO! Thats a Volvo interior! looks like a 7 series to me

Even Renault garages themselves use ramps which have the normal cups which go on each jacking point, and they b**ch about how the jacking points fold whilst on there..... so it aint to do with type of jack.

Im getting bored of these threads now, Im only gonna say three words.... ONE EIGHT TWO

yup :-)

about £1050 fully comp. with Liverpool Victoria 0 NCB, 30 years old.

As for the insurance George - when you took out the policy was it stipulated about them doing a new for old replacment in the first year (when the car is under one year old) cos mine did, piece of mind if something did happen - check it and see, I think most are like that now-a-days.

LOLOLOLOL - hehehehe Adapter ring hehee shouldnt this be in off-topic? SteveV6 got any comments?

George, thank goodness youre ok mate, get onto Renault, it is your only course of action, and make sure they investigate before it gets taken away and scrapped or repaired mate. Yup, sounds like the brake limiter valve problem, this deserves a recall - quick, or they are going to be sued be...

Yup, could be the good ol loose nuts problem lol

Fozzy - apparently it can, my local dealership said theyve done it to a couple of cups due to problems with the fbw - I guess they use the mk1 throttle body.

hehe, Ive got a few interesting shots of what I think to be a Cannon Car Audio (Hampshire) car on a parade lap at Thruxton on sunday, and wondered if anyone here knew/knew of them...... guy was driving a white astra...... hehehee

undo the two top plastic screw clips along the top of the grill (The bit that goes over the slam panel) then you can pull it forward enough to get a hand down behind and start undoing the clips - easy.... as long as you have b**ch hands like fred ;)

FBW is for whimps ;) What ya want is direct control, none of this laggy fbw stuff ;) :D

Yawn! Same old Same old I see....... well, in my crystal ball I see....... I see....... no more cups no more 172s But a 180 to rival the 206 gti180

I have one in my mk2 ;)
