Finish the race without pissing yourself? X

Honestly pal, I had the same mods on my old 172 Cup (No aircon) plus matched inlets and an RSTuner map on a corker of an engine and it only made 181bhp / 167lb/ft torque. Realistically with a strong engine that will be making between 175-180bhp, for a staring point having all them modifications...

Probably overreading by about 10-15bhp them rollers I reckon.

LOL at 6k reserve. There's predone racecars on here for less atm. Personally think if it was 'ready to race' sp to speak it would be worth 6k.

Ah I love a good esprit, just a shame it's been charvered up by it's owner. Looked better when he purchased the car. These cars should be 100% original imo.

On the wheels front, keep the ones aside as they are mint. Then get a set of silver turinis, sheepish but turinis on Mk1's look 'mazin'.

Ace, that is all.

Just got off the phone to Brian for Camskill.... All I'll say is wow, there is so much more to tyres than I thought!

Yeah the Pirelli P Zero Rossas are another £20 odd quid cheaper than the conti's so that's why I added them to the potential tyre list. Tyre sizes I'm after are the 225/45/17 (front) and 245/40/17 (rear). The number for that Brian chap would be lovely please, as I've said to my brother who...

Lol true, however if/when I come to sell it. Having good tyres with lots of tread is another better selling point seeing as I'd be commanding a premium amount of money for it I think. Even with old worn out conti's there's enough grip matey, the car puts the power down easily without mega...

Since I've owned it (a year this month) I've done 1200 miles in it! Think I'd only use it a max of 5k miles a year.

Really regarding the Pirelli over the michelins? What reasons? Heard of Vredesteins but never used them, thought they were a midrange tyre. Sorry if it seems I've messed you about Ben with the order, I was going to get them ordered but I don't want to buy them if they wore out so quickly! Nick

Ah more mixed reviews! Having looked on a few tyre review websites last night the PS3 have better percentage reviews to the conti's but not by much. The problem is the comments of each tyre vary so much, people saying they get 6-10k miles out of a set of PS3's and then others say they get 30k...

Hmmm maybe I won't go the PS3's then! Anyone ever used the Pirelli P Zero Rosso's?

Ah that's good, as ive got old/worn contis on my M3 that don't seem that great but I found the Michelin PE2's I've had before to be epic in the wet as well as great grip/comfort/quiet on the road. Only downside to them it seems is the reviews say they wear quicker than the contis. Nick

Looking to get a set of tyres for the M3 in the next couple of days, just wondered what peoples opinions on these tyres and what you'd get? Both are premium brands with no doubt the michelins being better but are slightly more expensive. Michelins - £440 Delivered Conti's - £380 Delivered...

Indeed so i'm told! Lol. Ah well, i'll have a brand new car soon enough. Sure you dont want to buy it now Mike with all its nice new bits! ;)

Your spending the same amount as I am on fixing your clio? Surely that cant be right! Indeed I love to think that all the work i've done will help resale, though to some people its still a high miler car. Cheers mate, like I said earlier in the thread I can get very particular about doing...

This.

Looks great apart from that god awful cd player and your steering wheel looks like it needs retrimming. Very mint Trophy other than that!

That looks alright tbh, I think the anthracite pack looks good on the black personally.

Gotta love a bit of Trax track time, bloody free for all! Chip, you need a diff in that! Must be a right pain coming out of every corner spinning the wheels that much!

b******s :(

Oi listen here grandad! ;) X

This. Good meet tonight indeed!

Lol, are you saying that there's been some poor workmanship Fred? ;)

Dont you want mine then? If you want them sooner ill pop them in the post. :)

So unlucky not to take 1st, cant imagine what the feeling is like to drive through the whole grid to then fight for a podium! Epic bit of racing.

Ah right, just thought given the previous conversations on here that there was only one part number for all the Mk2 RS Clio wishbones.

Lol, i'll wont be swapping these arms with anyone Chip, i'll be selling them I think seeing as its highly likely that Renault arent making them anymore! ;)
