Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Properly "owned" my first car...
Second car was the 1.2 clio (that's pretty much how it stayed)
New car is
I couldn't even do them at 5mph! LOL!
And yeah the roads up there are great, I usually come over from Dovestones, then take the left down into Meltham and then back onto the pennine way and drop back down into Diggle.
I can imagine they are pretty chuckable too, only raised mine because I couldn't go over speedbumps and I couldn't drive it over the pennines towards huddersfield etc (closest place for decent roads around here) so it was pointless lol.
Good luck with it anyway!
Sounds good! I see you've had issues with the brakes, now I had a clio 1.2 and the brakes on that were sharp as hell (brembo vented discs and EBC Greenstuff pads) and I got in this and nearly died! The brakes seemed awful, once you get used to them though you're fine, you just really need to...
All car's are like that, it's because you get the extra amount above FULL that people forget about. The thing with these is they will do nearly 40miles to the orange fuel light.
That looks fairly low. How are you finding it? It was between a VTS and a Zetec-S for me, went for the ZS due to them having a slightly better image than VTS's where I live.
Wish I'd got one for the extra power though.
It's mad, first few tanks I saw 200 miles to a tank, on momentum 99! Now I got fed up and i'm putting shitty fuel in, driving normally and it's 150 to just over half a tank. Don't understand it.
You're on. The MPG is getting better and better with each tank actually :/ Done 150 miles to just over half a tank this time, and TBH I'm driving worse than I was last time because I got pissed off with it being s**t and was just facing the facts lol.
I had to wait 2/3 weeks to go and buy the car I wanted because the seller waited till the last minute to change the plates over, he'd always been able to do it there and then at the DVLA office but this time they had to send everything away for the transfer.
Just something you might want to be...
Going off those bullets and the yellow calipers, I'm going to say that's Jonff's old cup. Although some PP has gone on here as his cars are never that clean :P
Pretty sure Rob ran his track car with 50/50 bias most of last year with no issues. So can't imagine a standard clio with more weight over the back than a stripped out car, on normal roads would be that bad tbh.
Great write up. I really have a thing for evo's. I will own one one day, and how you managed 60/65 all the way home after picking that up I'll never know.
The only time my car saw that on the way home from Woking was slowing down to go into service stations and it has no where near the...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
s**t the bed! That's insane.
Is that a standard exhaust still? Looks long and I didn't see anything mentioned about a change.
Wish I had the money to pay someone to do all that, everything has been done so...
