Hard luck mate. Braking mid corner really upsets the balance of a car, I learnt this the hard way too.
Glad your ok and hope it gets sorted easily for you mate.
I'd keep the Clio. The Ibiza's are good cars however if I was to VAG i'd probably look towards something like the older shape S3's or Leon Cupra R's. Suposed to be a bit better to drive.
Why did you reel off the contents of the cup pack. Thats just stupid as they'll input all those mods seperately and charge as if it was a proper mod.
I mean if my Mum bought one how would she know what was included in a cup pack?
Should have said 'it says cup packs' and played dumb.
I spy the S13. Need that back on the road Neil. If the 172 looks ok from a distance then its fine. The paintwork on my 172 isnt superb either the front bumpers hammered. Albeit for a 10 year old car its very good.
Not worth paying out for paint on an old car though, just drive it and enjoy it.
You would be very surprised. A guy with a turbo'd Trophy on here beat one too.
Remember an RS4 is only 255bhp/ton so a 260bhp PH1 Clio is almost exactly the same.
I don't really care whether people think i'm a chav or not. If somebody has a problem with the volume of my car then its their problem not mine tbh. Its legal thats all i'm bothered about.
Awesome. I need a SC on mine. Pwning an RS4 in a 10 year old french shed FTW.
I notice people pull out on me going around roundabouts because they think i'm going straight on despite the fact i'm indicating because of the speed I go around them sometimes.
My fault really though, should go...
Arn't a lot of the old Fiesta engines a push rod engine anyway, certainly the 1.3 Endura. Theres no saying your belts will snap. There are probably ph1 172's out there with origional belts, however they have a much higher chance of snapping due to them being over due.
Why buy a Renault Sport...
I just stick supermarket 95ron in mine. If I had a turbo'd car like an Evo or Scooby, or a highly tuned one then i'd use Vpower.
Fact of the matter is my car is a 172, they really don't need top quality fuel. Its hardly a precision engineered engine.
lol at 0.2 bar.
Remaped to 130bhp would make it a nippy motor though. They feel surprisingly good to drive standard the TCE, compared to a 1.2 16v. Albeit I didn't feel it a worthwile upgrade.
Really sorry to see mate. I'd hate to see my car like that. Hope you get it all sorted. Will definately make me think about carrying a fire extinguiser after seeing this.
