I've seen a black V6 with black wheels on the A120 a few times now, male driver though

Does anyone know the weight of these wheels as I'm very tempted in anthracite fot the LY

No point on the 1*2, or just no point in general? was considered quite useful with the 5 turbos and Vauxhall C20's IIRC

The problem being that the majority of the weight lost is over the back and not across both axles. Would be fine if it then had after market suspension and set up accordingly.

I stripped out my 5 Turbo and had all new suspension and re setup, was great fun, but I had a 1.4 clio dynamique as a daily drive. couldn't put up with it all the time. The thing that bugged me about it is how bad it all looks, fixing holes and brackets, braces every whereand with bits and...

I had the Compbrake mounts and really rated the improvement over standard. Much more direct and better feel on turn in. And I had none of this problem with them moving, had the front all checked up 4 times in the space of 6 months to make sure. I took them off as well as my eibach springs when...

I'm guessing you are still using the standard airbox? If so I'd put the standard feeds back on it as it'll then take any air from behind the headlight. I wouldn't have thought you'll get any real heat soak without them or feel any gain with them but you never know. 1 feed runs under the airbox...

LY no question, but it's not for the weak minded! lol

What is the smallest amount these will lower a clio? I don't want to go too low, something around the same as the Eibach Sportlines would be ideal, but they were a real poor match with the OE dampers so the ride was poor and crashy. These appear to be a poosibility as there's not much out...

More than likely. I just remembered 1 of the renault tech guys saying it's never fully switched off and will cut in iff things go really pear shaped. I've never had it cut in when I've had it all switched off, just thought I wasn't pushing it hard enough

I generally leave it on unless I know I'm going to be giving it some stick. ie pulling out of a junction onto traffic at high speed or a spirited drive laong some nice tight twisty roads. Turning it off also makes the ESP less intrusive which I feel is more important. I had it off 90% of the...

Have a look at the spring whilst your under there as that will affect the ride height if it's moved out of place or snapped etc. When my rear damper blew the lower part was always wet, even in dry weather so it was obvious it had gone. the back end of the car was very knocky and crashy, and...

Saw it again today in Butt Road carpark today, put a flier on the windscreen. Might not be a cup now I've seen it again.

My 182 is just about to hit the 60k miles mark which is only a basic service IIRC. In October / November time it will be 5yrs old so is suggested that a 72k mile service (cambelts) be done. My question is do I have the basic service now then the full service in 6months time, or do the full...

Spotted an M reg 16v clio with white multispoke alloys waiting at the lights at the bottom of North Hill in Colchester at 1.45pm today

At half 11 today heading towards Mersea Island from Colchester, was just going past the Peldon Rose pub.

Saw a glacier white 200 cup with black wheels parked just off of Maldon road in Colchester this afternoon.

I really like the colour, but IMO it wasn't different or special enough to warrant the £1200 extra for ID paintwork like the LY. Whether people like it or hate it, LY will turn heads of anyone regardless if they are interested in cars, P petrol blue certainly doesn't around this area where...

I've just bought 4x Pzero Nero's delivered for 270 and will be fitting them next week, I'm hoping they are better in the wet than the Yokohama's I'm using now

I haven't heard that. I had mine RR'd with CAF from fog going straight into the V6 airbox and the graph shows no flat spots at all. But the car ran better having the CAF pointing towards the airbox and without the CAF at all than it did when the airbox was sealed to the CAF.

But the pressure of the air entering the airbox is so small it may not matter. For better airflow you want less restriction which your more likely to get with the 1 larger feed instead of 2 smaller ones. IMO anyway

IMO a caf isn't a bad thing as long as it's not the only source of air into the filter. Best to have it pointing towards the filter area and not directly into it. I've been playing with my V6 box for ages trying to get the best out of it. Currently I have a small silicone hose approx...

spotted a black v6 with black wheels heading along the A120 at coggeshall towards braintree this morning about half 9/ 10

Was this from Southend Direction? If so it's a well looked after example

Spotted a nice silver 182 lowered with silver speedlines as I pulled into Homebase at Tollgate, Stanway I parked in front of you in a sliver golf. Was looking for you as I went round Homebase but didn't spot you.

I guess in thoery might be worth a try. If you could get hold of some fairly rigid sheets and you trim the existing box carfully, you could probably cut out the majority of the middle and only have the carbon with plastic end caps

cars back at the garage as we speak having another loko over it and re do the alignment. Andy, Its at Dovorcourt Ford repair centre in Colchester. This time they've done a really good job of it. I went there a few years ago after someone scratched the door and I got them to re do it as it was...

I was going round a bend and impact did seem more on the front right. but didn't appear to make contact with the wheel. Had the strut off and that seemed fine. one person did say they saw what looked like a dent in the subframe made by a small stone but wasn't anything to worry about.

Camber should be - 0 degrees & 45 minutes Left wheel - 0' 45" Right wheel - 1' 05"

Had an accident back in November where I went in to the back of a Mondeo, air bag didn't deploy and generally the the damage wasn't as bad as originally thought.Got the car back just before xmas and now the car picks up on every bump, hole, road camber or anything. Some time it pulls to the left...
