@leeds_182 All you need... http://www.tpsmotorsports.com/gm-chevy-trucks/superchargers/edelbrock/edelbrock-supercharger-for-gen-iv-ls2-cathedral-port-camaro-gto-gen-iv-1998-02-15470-no-tuner.html How you getting on with the manual, i love the heavy mechanical feel of it. So good for cruising...

Give it time, you will get used to the power and need a little something. Im sure getting one from the states would be relatively cheap...

Congrats, get a supercharger on it and exhaust. Happy days.

Looks epic, what's the spec now?

Springs can be replaced incorrectly also, probably best to ring Renault with the reg/vin so they can confirm?

Calipers can easily be painted, so just be careful if someone tries to sell a cup and it's not.

Wasn't able to make it this year sadly :( Is it still possible to donate to MIND? Where is the pic thread?

Not to much to report on the car, done another oil and filter service with genuine parts around 1k ago. Seems to be running well. I did notice an issue with alignment and panel gaps and decided to investigate yesterday, i was not impressed with what i found! Luckily it doesn't look like there...

It looks like that all the way round. Because of the angle i took the photo you can't see some of it so might look like a crack.

@dann2707 End of the day it's your car, modify it how you want. I'm sure if i ever got one i would do things differently because im not you lol.

Something like this? Not this exact car, just thinking of the engine/package as a whole. 240bhp then could remap that to 280 ish would be plenty. Or could go for the 330i instead with a better engine/tuning potential...

Thanks just wanted some reassurance, will get them on soon :)

I got some better pictures of the disc. Not worried about the first picture as that's just surface. This second one looks a bit worse.

To me it looks like the shiny silver part of the coating has actually come off, that's why i was worried.

Cheers lads :)

Picked up a brake upgrade the other day and was slightly worried about the discs. They are smooth and are basically new thickness, just a bit of flaking. Will these still be alright to use?

Wow didn't realise it was that easy to change the paddle function!

@dann2707 If that headlight protection lacquer ends up going wrong use ceramic coating next time and it will stay clear for years. There is one round the corner from my work i keep seeing! I need to drive one :(

@Dr Jekyll Didn't you fancy putting on any PPF or ceramic coating after your fresh paint? Seems a bit of a shame your touching in stone chips :(

Agree, go to Beaniesport in MK, i have used him and Armstrong Autos before. I have used Engine Dynamics (Alex from AW used to work there)

Go back 10 years ago and those people in Golf R's, 135i etc were probably in a Vauxhall.

Isn't that just a version of the Vauxhall engine?

Yer the diff and the suspension make the nurburgring one. If you got a normal one cheap enough and did the same mods on sure it would be just as good. Not sure if they tweaked other areas. I would be tempted to fit the engine from the H as I believe they are forged? The Astra just wasnt raw...

I drove a Corsa Vxr nurburgring on track back to back with a normal one and the difference was night and day. I wouldn't buy a standard one let's put it that way. I drove the latest Astra vxr if that's the j shape across Europe probably doing 1500miles and it was just a meh experience. Gearbox...

Clio 182 cats are pretty much sports cats iirc if you wanted to go down getting a used one. Couldn't comment on aftermarket one.

Tbh i thought about messaging you about the car at one point, but didn't want to insult you at £3k.

Depends how much you want to spend, Logitech G27/29 are good. Also have things from Fanatec, it depends on the type of wheel you want, if it's belt driven, direct drive and how much you want to spend.

Would prefer an SRI turbo as it's more stealthy and pretty similar.

Love this, you can use a heat gun on the plastics rather than back to black, lasts longer and its cheaper. As others have said easy to turn the boost up and running it on veg is a no brainer. I'm sure you know to thin it out a bit more when it gets cold as i think @dann2707 found out IIRC
