defo hot hatches. i think its more the ethos of a car, than raw power figures etc. as if it was the case, all previous hot hatches would no longer be hot hatches, which is totally insane! And also the fact being, many new hot hatches are no quicker than the cars they replace (197 vs 182...

u wont hear the bodies. Sealed air box and through the Rotex charger. Have a mate with a 106 running bodies and charger and all u hear is charger! still, will sound cool none the less!

Myself and Joe were discussing a 172 BTB system the other evening. let us put a bit more thought into it, and i will do a thread so we can get some idea's and feedback!

ok good stuff! cheers

Anyone know if the latest ipods work with Alpine iDA-X001 head unit??? As i have one, which works perfectly with my 8 gig Nano, but i want to upgrade to a bigger ipod. Will the very latest one's worj with the head unit? or is it a case of seeing if i can pick up a slightly older one...

always a big debate on whether strut braces do anything. some people swear by them, so say they are pointless. What makes me think tho, is why do manufacturers like Subaru fit them to thier top of the range models, like the Impreza Spec-C, Type RA-R etc if they do nothing??

been talking to Curtis @ Powerstation via email about a week ago, then its gone all quiet. Not sure if he is on holiday, or having email troubles or just ignoring me! lol. Anyone else heard anything recently?

black wheels rule!!! size wise... go 15's if your gonna do track days etc, otherwise stick to 16's!

they sounds dodgy, they look dodgy...... i would steeeeeeer clear!

used to have some in my 182 cup. i agree with Makavelli, best compromise between buckets and recliners! good for spirited driving, but will never hold you as well as a decent baucket and harness will!

wheels ruining springs?!?! hows that work then?

what are they saying they need to do then??

15's FTW!!!

running them shouldnt be a problem. thats what i will be running. Makavelli - i thought he had slight damage as he didnt get the weights reoved and the callipers just ripped them off? There shouldnt be any flex from the calliper or braket!

there is literally a few MM clearence between the calliper and the rim with the 2118's. As you need to run external weights as the calliper fouls them.

nice. i almost went back to a VTS after my scooby, but for me they are a little old now. Still alot of fun tho, and so cheap these days!

hi!

would never use Kwik Fit! ever!!

195/50/15 thats what i run. choice of champions :D

probably went for the safest choice!

will it be a Rentech conversion available to all if it goes well??? get some pics up! :D

I would be asking some serious questions and going over the car with a fine tooth comb. get it up on a ramp, look under it etc. as 11k and that many owners just isnt right!!!

woot! :D

bought my 182 cup (when i had it) as EVO magazine said it was the best hot hatch of the time. and after a test drive i seemed to agree!

just to save peoples confusion... Toyo T1S road tyre on the left, Toyo R888 road/track tyre on the right

that is a good price! i could match it, but it would hardly be worth my effort! lol

aka an electric supercharger.... which as we all know dont work and are utter gash! tho they do hide it well in thier choice of words!

great pics!

yup, all interchangable. but bearing in mind the springs on the GTi will be set for the extra weight of the 1.6 lump. so might sit a little high.

how much are they from Renault?? dare i ask!! lol
