You wouldn't be the 1st owner.. the garage register's the car, so they are the 1st registered owner, you buy it "new" and you are the 2nd owner.

Isn't it all to do with inertia and momentum.. the further the maximum weight of the wheel (rim) is from the centre, the more work required to turn the wheel.. or something like that..

lovely wheels...

It took me 30 mins, and that was modifying the wiring & extending the washer pipe...

makes the headlights shine white - not yellow.. looks loads better...

I thought it was engine out?

upgrade the headlights,lexus lights are not my thing... like the wheels & the rest of the bus.

dont tow on a m/way... bad, bad, bad.

sounds a bit on the high side

that's an open induction kit, it'll make a lot of noise, but loose you power depending where you locate it in the engine bay..

go for anthracite

if it was done 7 months ago, it could've been the 36k service, which means it wont be due until 48k... assuming 12k service intervals...

I've had no problems with my 1st MOT, coming up to its 2nd soon...

decat looses a little noise over time, as stated above, due to the carbon build up.. it is only a little though..

good read. Valver totally wipes the floor with it!

well done. Valver looked lovely. Wont be long before you start modding the 172...

forgot to say.. rarerims offer more than what's on their website.. maybe able to get what you want in 16" ? 195/45/16 = 290.95mm rr 205/40/17 = 297.9mm rr 215/40/17 = 301.9mm rr at worst you're gonna throw the speedo out 3mph when travelling at 70mph

www.rarerims.co.uk lightweight is the way to go...

f>k me, how wrong was I ? Jesus.

might be stretching it that.. i thought it was 215 ?

Can you not just take it to a Renault garage (or someone who has the proper kit) and reset the error code on the ecu? It shouldn't fail the MOT because of this.

take it someone who you trust.

civic should'nt be a problem, and if you take out excessive weight, like said above, you may be suprising the scooby's...

mine decatted car failed on emissions, something about 2 or 3 times over the required limit (lots of numbers on the screen, but didn't mean much to me)

very nice colour, looks totally different

your speedo will be under reading, rolling radius 195/50/15 = 288mm as opposed to 195/45/15 = 278.25mm, so when speedo says 70 mph, you're really travelling at 67.63mph. It'll lower the car a little bit, and you'll "feel" the road more...

I found more grip with the 205's, not noticed any tramlining with the wider tyres.. found different manufactures of tyres stating "205" are actually different in width, only by a little, but enought to rub... Khumo 205's rubbed on the front arch liners, where now the Uniroyal 205's dont...:S

Read the tyre poll for what people think of tyres, but I'd upgrade to 205/45/16's, little bit more grip..

upgrade to 205/45 all round.. if you're tight like me and dont wanna replace all 4 at once, you can run 195's with 205's, bang the 205's on the back

When decatted & mapped properly, mine actually improved mpg when not ragging it!
