Noticed a couple spam mails this morning but assumed it was just you forwarding on some "tell a friend" sites or something...

Think I'll look at buying a 200 in 2 years - the dealers are going to have loads returned to them!

Stupid question but what's the easiest way to link from Flikr? It seems really longwinded when I try and do it.

Lol! What?!?

As long as you have the specific part number they'll usually get it for you. $$$ though. Good job on 3rd dude. For the comparative lack of effort you've put into it compared to some of the cars that are at these shows that funkin good. Next summer going to be a show season? Let me know if...

Yep, same. I was all about Pro Evo but FIFA has been leagues ahead since 09.

Maybe I'm behind the times but that clip looks stunning. Can't take much from it as the critical factor is feel and handling but it looks very slick.

I'm not sure I like modern cars with over-fenders... certainly not if they aren't colour-coded.

That would mean that the two examples you drove were of those speeds. We're talking about engines that are up to 15 (?) years old here...

Nice choice... considering one of these next year.

Sold my Ph1 172 and bought a Golf GTi 1.8T. Only really regretted it as the Golf was sooooo thirsty. So, went back to a 172 Cup and then sold that for a Bora TDi to save some pennies for my wedding and now baby on the way. I've not regretted selling the second Clio but there are days when I'd...

You're a geek but at least you're proud of it! I don't see the point of a guide for the first time you play it though... takes away the point a bit doesn't it?

Lol, that can't be real! If it is then they need to pull their finger out...

23 hours?

My God that kart racing looks terrible!

I think some pictures, taken in the sun, are required. Just to show off how unswirly the paint is...

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 I can be a hater if you want? I'll kick it when I'm next up your way.

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Liking how this is progressing. I was close to buying DUF... wish I had. :(

If it's the actual jacking point that's bent then isn't it more a car fault than the bloke's? He can only assume that it's strong enough when jacking it up...? Or have I missed something? Anyway, if he's sorting it then happy days.

Not yet, purely WiFi to WiFi. It'll come in the future I expect. My incase arrived today. Very basic and I prefer my bumper but can't complain as both were free!

Yeah absolutely fine to nick the photo's Mark, they're a pretty good resolution on Flikr I think but let me know if you'd like them by disc or email. I'll try and continue to update this thread with the bonnet test over the next few months also. The rain kind of deceived the results at the time...

Purple ain't workin mate... cream looks awesome though.

Some more 'afters' following a decent clean-up and nicer weather today... all of the car given a Vic Concourse Red top-up except for the bonnet. 004 by Ads Crebo, on Flickr 009 by Ads Crebo, on Flickr 011 by Ads Crebo, on Flickr 013 by Ads Crebo, on Flickr 016 by Ads Crebo, on...

Huh? You're missing my point. The question, again, was "if you can't tell...". Two wheels, look identical, one is split rim and one is fake. I'd have the fakes at a fraction of the cost because I'm not into the scene and would rather a wheel that's easy to maintain and doesn't have to be...

Benny - as per your edit! The risk of circular motions, from my experience, is that you work the same areas of the paint more than you would if using a controlled back and forth motion. Greater contact with the paint = more swirls, no matter how careful you are.

Acidic wheel cleaner is great, but lethal. A single, very controlled hit on the bits that need sorting might be a decent shout but you'll need to polish it up afterwards as the acid will dull the finish. Don't use it as an overall wheel cleaner as it's corrosive. Maybe try clay before acidic...

Which comes back to the question "if you can't tell...". Decent fakes are fine IMO. The Scene is full of snobs now who think it's cool to spend thousands on wheels for a £500 car. Fine if you want to but nothing wrong with enjoying reps.

You just scored negative scene points I agree with what you say BTW. Car looks smart; nice touch on the checked interior.

Even if the UCH needs replacing, it's not that much! Thanks Renault for their FREE healthcheck and get to a specialist.

That's the one! Lol. When I was going to modify my Bora I was thinking green & cream and then I saw that. She's standard now...
