Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio So true ;) Got it back out the garage for a couple of hours, not to work on it, but to tidy the garage and start taking bits off my other engine. My garage at the moment is an utter tip, but after an hour it looked like this (And yes, this was...

You say too obvious, but it really wouldn't suprise me if he was genuine

Cheers mate, there seems to be qhite a few different types!

Great to see the nana back with an r7r in it, I know it started life as a valver but it just seems wrong with a 7p in lol

Lol, a bit low for daily use then!

As said it works of guestimating. lets ay it shows you have 200 miles in your tank left, if you go for a thrash for 20 miles, it may then read you have 100 miles in the tank left - this is because it adjusts to your driving style and if you continue to drive fast the fuel in your tank will...

looks like a nice bit of kit!

No ofence taken, just pointing out there are other sections for other model desicussions dude Um, you asked peoples opinions mate - i have given my opinion? You said will it have been tuned, I said no as speedos over read, and that could have been worsened by the aftermarket wheels he has...

i know mate but you still posted it in clio discussion lol. so he has overtaken you at 110 - your speedo will be out too - all speedos have a degree of error mate.

whats that like mate?

quite possible if the wheels have stuck the speedo out a bit and the momentum of downhill can easily add 10+ mph to a car - along the flat it probably wouldn't show more than about 110 ish which is about right for standard once you adjust for speedo error

No iphone mate, galaxy S3

Clio discussion? Did you see the speedo with your own eyes? Either lying about the speed, or the wheels have stuck the speedo reading out. To tune a 1.2 engine to perform to a genuine 130mph would be a massive cost, so no it won't be tuned, but it wouldn't have been ding 130 anyway...

cheers mate, trowbridge isn't far! ;) just dropped them an email

Might seem like a silly question, but I am looking at 2nd hand ones, and am on a budget so unsure wich to go for. The basics are for track work, so after something with decent enough quailty, but as it will only be bolted to my rollcage and won't be strapped to me whilst I jump from an astriod...

Claire wants a slight tint to the rear and 1/4 windows on the 225 - anyone in the Swindon/Chippenham/Cirencester area that does a good job guys?

yes that seems right mate.

Chip is worth the travel ;)

Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio LOL! All you need to do is floor it around 3500-4000 rpm for a second or so, back off, then BOOM. Tis the way I roll, I live my life 1/4 mile at a time iirc

Fred at BTM can get them done, Mike at MWM, Danny at 519, Jamsport - check out the traders section mate most have them

matching the inlets is a common uprade, but that ones a bit expensive imo. Also modding the throttle body is pointless. Speak to the specialists on here mate, cheaper than that and equally as good if not better.

Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio Oh, and it spits flames a lot :o

Re: A Mini Adventure ... looks tidy dave! i just hate the gearshift :( Oh, if you want a cheap but decent exhaust, the last Cooper S i sold I had off a mate, and the exhaust rusted through so he took a change on an ebay special - paid £270 delivered for a full cat back system. Was...

Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio Small update - it's now MOT'd :D Had a spare couple of hours so got the old alternator off and fitted the new one, gates belt and was all good once I had managed to find some bolts to bolt it on with lol. Had to whip the air filter back plate...

Fair play mate!! Oh, love the red nail polish, definately your colour ;)

Definitely worth it imo if just for piece of mind, on the standard limit it's not too bad unless you literally live at the limiter, but for any car with a raised limiter I would fit them

I got 3 in the garage so I bloody hope so lol

Bottom End will be delivered soon ;)

Re: Grey With Trinkets, Russ' 29th RS Clio LOL! How can you tell :o Dry all week, the day I want to work on it and it rains. Why? BECAUSE ENGLAND.

If it's Marks old cup then that one was a bit of a freak, he had it from new so was properly run in and looked after too
