Ali, what do you mean decent brakes? Got Brembo Max's, Redstuffs, AP fluid and braided lines, whats not good about that?
Engine cover has been removed as, in true Renault style, it vibrates like a b**ch and does my head in so just tookit off, problem solved!
No problems with the H&R's, just I had to lift it up slightly when going to 16's but its not right so gonna get it all done properly again.
Yeah Matt sure, if you get here in the next 4 minutes you can take them....;)
Had it once, bloke in an RS6 avant when filling up told me the car was nice!
Spoke to him for a second and he had a ph1 172 track car as a weekend toy, nice bloke.
Other than that no-one really looks twice at mine.
No, says it cannot have a system louder than a car with a standard silencer in avergae condition.
And also cannot have an exhaust for the purpose of making the car louder.
^ I've got a few friendly people, but comments made on this other forum say that the 5-0 could screw you over for having an exhaust on, but seems stupid to me?
Just beenr eading this on another forum, apparently all aftermarket exhaust systems will be seen as 'illegal' soon. Anyone heard similar?

Seems stupid, think of all the companies that would...
Finished work today and it looked nice and bright so thought stuff it, called at halfords for a new washmit and gave it a going over.
Did it twice, needs a good PC'ing at some point soon to make it come up that bit shinier but not too bad!
Went over it twice then just dried, gave it a quick...
^ Mine is as low as possible really, hopefully taking the front lower though somehow!
You just got a straight pipe welded in its place then?
Is it stupidly loud?! :D
Only pulling your pisser mate, mine gets full abuse when it is warm and no-one else around.
Does sound nice, mine is about to fall off so thinking of getting one of these if me and dave88 can persuade milltek to sell us them cheaper!!
Mint, glad i didnt buy it though, 'thrashed' wasn't in the car description!!
I'm after one of these i think, how much difference did the centre box removal make?
Car looks mint, get it lower though, loads more to go on the back!
Was gonna put a spotted up, didnt realise it was you!
Whats yours lowered on, looked nice!
Yeah it is a bit dirty isn't it! Too cold to clean, will wait until March/April time!
I do this with my 182, and because of that I have zero parking dents etc :D
When I get a V6 I will continue to do the same, although I do plan on not using it everyday!
You have to tell them,. mods which dont increase power are free, mods that do (exhaust etc) incurr a charge,
I'm with them, mine is cheaper because the car is modified :)
I really like them, I can imagine insurance will be insane compared to the clio but a quote wont hurt.
I've asked all the normal questions just so I'll see what reply i get.
Just been offered a swap for my 182:
05 reg
Silver
40k, FRSH
H&R's
Turinis
Decat
4 new tyres
The civic:

I do like the civics, not checked insurance yet, but would this put you off?
Not found out what the damage was yet etc.
I do like civics...
