Nice car :) lol at all the 'pics' does a girls first thread ever make it more than a page before its asked? good old CS.

Looks like a good trip even if you had a few problems. Should have reported the off but hindsights a wonderful thing.

I happened to love my chav style roar on my 172. It sounds awesome.

14.8 isn't bad for a 1.4 ;) What engine mounts are you using out of interest? My 1*2 did not like to even be driven hard in 1st on the standard (new) mounts. I didn't ever launch it because I felt there was too much engine movement and it would damage it.

Not sure mate, the new owner has sorted it I think. I think it was engine mount related though as I had it before I had the mounts changed and it went away. It came back when it snowed going over icey ruts in the road. I think an engine mount had worked its way loose.

I had a similar one in my 172. Pull away knock, slow down knock. Engine mounts in 1*2's are nightmares. I really wish they lasted like they do on 90% of normal cars.

Time for mods then ;)

Sounds awesome, smokes like a badly remaped pug 306 d turbo ;) Its looking good though jamie, coming along well.

Nice cruiser the A3 2.0 TDI. Comfortabley, torquey, good mpg and great spec. Will look a lot better on the S line wheels.

Enjoy the car mate. They're superb. Did I read £300 a month to insure a Clio on page 1 :eek:

Not a fan. Far too low.

I love the RS Fords. A blue or green MK2 FRS would be nice.

Welcome mate. Wrong section on your first post. Nice ;)

Do cars like CTR's etc all actually mke their quoted power figures? It annoys me how RS Clio's don't. Biggest let down with the car.

Anything goes in my £595 Mazda i'm running now. When I had my Clios eating and drinking are fine just try not to spill anything and don't leave anything in the car. I don't have a problem with eating, nothing hoover can't sort out. Drinks are essential for me on a long journey so i'm fine...

Nothing to the engine but stripping it would give it a better bhp/ton.

The circumstances are a bit unlucky but if you get the 6 points for driving without insurance your basically screwed. Exect to pay a fortune for insurance on your 1.2 and don't expect to drive anything remotely quick for 5 years until your conviction no longer needs declaring.

Sounds awesome Jon. Makes a good induction noise too with that ph1 airbox. Albeit on yours the zorst drowns it out a lot.

PH1's the better looking car, i'm biased though ;) Love your car though mullen, looks superb now its got some good wheels on it.

Looks really nice mate. Interiors in these are pretty awesome.

I couldn't live with a fully stripped out car. I had no idea how many stones flick into the arches until I went out in a stripped car. Personally i'd leave the sound deadening in, and if I was to get a cage and harnesses i'd still use carpet. It may not be the lightest option but for the sake...

Bit more than that mate, about 980 iirc. Something like that, its on parkers.

Gutted to see this mate. So the engine failing had nothing to do with the SC then?

They're impressive cars the Mk2 Dci's. I'm a big fan of them. MPG is epic and even a standard 80 feels fairly nippy. MK3 Dci's are no good imo. I've driven an 86 and it felt gutless, the weight kills both the nippyness and mpg.

Love it. These are a perfect cruiser, so much torque.

:star: Congratulations. You have just made the most ludicrous comment on CS this year. I honestly can't believe i've just read that.

Looks good on track. When you say you miss it, do you prefare the R26 or the 200?

R888's make a big difference. Good coilovers such as KW 2's or Bilstens, a whiteline ARB, solid top mounts, geo setup inc corner weighting, upgraded brakes and some good tyres such as R888's will greatly help. Your talking a fair bit of cash though, and the question is will going faster on...

I can't stand people who are deluded about cars. I got told on holiday two years ago that remaping my 1.2 16v Clio would give it 130bhp 'right, ok. I'm going the bar.' was my response.

That sounds good but still the megs don't sound half as good as some of its rivals like Focus St's, MK1 FRS's, VXR's etc.
