I cant wait to see Powellys secret thing. Its going to be very very cool.

He beat me by 0.010 of a second mate. You can just make the times out on the boards I think.

lol, thanks. A bit lacking in content but Ill continue to add to it as I go along.

I take it you have booked the day off work. :D I hope the roads are dry for you too mate, everytime Ive had a new car its chucked it down. :(

I think theres a little chart in the manul too which states that normal unleaded is fine for but optimal running 98 ron is recommended. Stops the engine pinking apparently. How long have you go left to wait?

There is a sticker on the inside of the filler cap which says 98 ron recommended.

I ran mine in as recommended by the manual and have run it on Optimax from day one. Its only had 3 tanks of none Optimax in 12k miles. Why would people want to use anything other than Optimax anyway, Renault recommend 98 ron fuel for optimal running, so that leaves you with no other choice.

Are they white? Hard to tell from the picture. I think they would look cool. Very rally sl*g as daz said.

Not sure mate, mines still within the first year. So far everything has been all in. :D

If the car is an EU import then you can claim your 3 year warranty from Renault provided you meat certain criteria. The first year is Manufacturer, the 2nd and 3rd dealer so you have to pay towards work. Heres the letter Renault send out...

Mine does the same. Isnt it when you push it hard into the little plastic stopper in the carpet?

No wonder. He always had that dumb colourful scarf on when he got out of the tardis so that explains it. :p

Maybe you could borrow my camera Jill and take them yourself. :devilish:

Well take a picture at the Midlands meal. The exhaust Jill, not his trousers or package. :o;)

Dogmaul has a straight through Super Sprint system. Very, very loud. Sorry, make that very very very loud. Makes the Cup race cars seem quiet. [Edit] And there it is.

I cant really help with your main lights as mine are xenons. I just did the sidelights and indicators.

It should be easy on a 1.6, there is no room to get your hand in on a 172. :o Go have a look, if you have problems then pop back and post. :D You need to take out the main beam bulb as its a small one located next to it that you are replacing. Assuming its the side light you are changing.

After driving y0z2as car at the weekend Ive moved my seat a lot closer to the pedals. Its much easier to drive quickly but I do still feel too high up. Im only 5 foot 8. Ive got the seat at its lowest setting. When I drive my old mans Celica I find it hard to get in or out Im so used to the...

I get stick off my boss for it, he keeps asking when Im getting neons or big stickers on the car. My mom and dad quite like it though. Even my nan commented on how nice it sounded.

It is a bit boy racer but Im sure like me youll get bored of the way the standard exhaust sounds (or doesnt) after a short time. I figured Im too old to be a boy racer and that its a good high quality SS exhaust. Id actually prefer slightly smaller exits but Ive got used to them now. The...

No probs. Ive got a spare UK manual by the way, you may need it. :D

One other thing with cars from Motorpoint is you dont get the AA cover you get when purchased from a Renault dealer. I cant imagine the price will drop too drastically. But its bound to have some impact. Im not a fan of those exhausts either! With regard to the performance, its...

Thats entirely up to you mate. Personally Im crap at waiting for things. :oops: Im not sure Motorpoint will have those in January anyway. Im sure the first lot will have owners who have put there names down in advance, but who knows.

I phoned Renault after I got mine and had it put on the system. Makes life a little easier.

Just make sure they imported it from a country within the EU as some of there cars come from Malta. Reault will only honour 1 year of the warranty on those. I got mine from Motorpoint in March and have had no problems at all with my local Renault dealer. They service it and carry out all...

We both had the full system. It does hang a little lower but nothing to worry about. Its the bracket you have to watch. I had a heavy car the other day and caught in on a speed bump on the car park at work. Thats never happened before.

I had the figures for both Rich, but only have access to the one set here. The Northampton Rolling Road showed 159.6bhp @ FW and 132.1 @ wheels. Power Engineerings road showed 168bhp @ FW.

And even then you still wont know for sure. Mine had a 10bhp variation from one RR to another!!

Ive had between 158 - 168bhp. As Tom says, it varies a lot depending on the RR and conditions.

So do I mate, so do I :( The Porches belonged to the MD and my moms ex boss, the Chimeras one of our Programmers.
