9.3 to 60mph. 128bhp and 155nm, or 114lb-ft i think. Performance as standard is pretty poor, awful torque and power delivery. engine really has to be worked but its actually pretty fun sometimes. Driving in traffic is frustrating, the clutch is slow as s**t and has a very strange biting point...

JEEZ R888's would be £145 a corner for me !!! 195/50 R16's

Are all discs the same so to speak, i mean i guess mine are 259mm although i wouldnt be certain. but are they all the same fitting? Also, braided brake lines, are they also universal?

As title really, my brakes are pretty poor, so id like to replace them. Id like to know if new calipers, such as Brembo or Wilwood, fit onto the existing mounts. Obviously my brakes will be different to that of a renaultsports, but with a 172 as an example, would a new caliper fit onto the...

I thought the AST top mounts were only for less movement. Didnt think it provided for better adjustability.

I quite like the 16's. i was thinking about getting a set of turinis (yawn) but im undecided about putting it on 17's now. Its becoming a fun car to drive now ive had a chance to drive it properly at night in the dry. I dont know why jason complains about fuel either, ive been taking it easy...

shoved an ITG filter in there today, hasnt made much difference but i knew it wouldnt, after fitting a K&N to my old 1.2, id go as far as saying its letting the engine breathe more freely and theres more noise at high revs, the engine does seem to want to pull a bit more from mid range. Worth...

Dont even have to wax after applying EGP if you dont want although ive applied collinite over it before. If you want a mirror finish so to speak, youll have to invest a fair few quid, im talking hundreds, into detailing products. If not, be happy with your SRP/EGP combo. Itll do the job but...

Tidy BMW tat. Small engine dfor that car, mate has a 335i, its not the fastest thing in the world but it shifts ok.

oh and as for your BOS, Glasur or Concourus thread, go for BOS. I can vouch that Glasur is a great wax, i own a near empty pot, but i think best of show has the edge over glasur. if you dont want to stretch then stick with glasur. You wont be dissapointed either way.

That auto bahn stuff any good? Ive got some nanolex professional sat around waiting to be applied, might get one of the wheels off and do it tonight.

Jase when youve been driving 4 years or more and youve driven a few different cars im sure youll look back and RAGE when you realise how bad this car is. The engine is pointless, i would imagine replacing it with a tree trunk would be more beneficial, and my god how BAD is the clutch and...

At the front no, ive not set them up as i want them yet, waiting for better weather, still no heat in the road so i have to be careful in bends still. I want the front rasing a bit too actually. The rears will go lower, but ive jacked it up and adjusted the thing that you twist to make it go up...

Yeah it sorted out the handling atleast

f**king hate mine jase, think ill start saving for a new one. i made a huge mistake buying another reno again. For the 3rd time. Want to go down the Honda route next.

omg you are all girls.

Oh and slashing up hoardes of aliens all day gets a bit boring from time to time.

Yer the 16's are pretty pisch. Im tempted to buy a set of turinis. 205/45 tyres wouldnt be too bad either !! I hate my clutch still, cant get over how bad it is.

Lol. Even now it still sits like a boat. Look

Holy s**t my car used to look like that. FOOK. That is APPAULING !!!

b**ch to do lol. Goes EVERYWHERE. Takes agers to do too. Worth it tho. Removes wiper marks and light scratches.

All in the camera work i find. Real life, theres not a lot of difference between waxes for looks, more the durability side of things. FK and Colly aint bad but id sooner invest in something worth while like supernatural.

Been watching this since it was announced. I cannot WAIT :o Loved stalker, although clear sky was a bit pisch. Not played the latest though. Seems similar in some ways, i liked cryostasis and to me it looks like a mix between the 2? I think the game has potentioal to be good, but knowing...

Well i just completed the predator campaign. Kinda reminded me of what they did with Tombraider in some ways, the remakes were dog s**t. Just like this is. Its short, its lacking in most ways and i did not once hear the predator do its manly roar, all it seems to do is grunt and make its stupid...

I guess its wise and you have a valid point. I might invest in one, but seeing as i only do cars which have had 1 owner and i know havent been done before i dont see the big deal. Even heavy compounding doesnt remove that many microns. Im tempted to get a 2nd hand PTG from DW. But its £155 a pop...

Not that ive seen. Smooth Ph1 bonnets ?

I wouldnt without a thickness guage if your doing the full car. And no, im not being a petty ***** like a lot of the people on detailing world seem to be, they expect people to use a thickness guage when machine polishing even ! Got to think about the paint edges, and you may even find bumpers...

Cheers Peeps !!!!!!!!! e/ Im 21, and ill read my policy, seriously doubt ill be able to lol. Just wondering, wasnt planning on doing it.

I believe you can drive someone elses car 3rd party, if both you and the other person are fully comp and are the main driver and owner of the car. Is this correct ? I am the policy holder and owner of my 1.6 GT. Does this mean i can drive up to a 1.6 3rd party if the other person is fully comp...

God dammit dont tempt me. lol. I think ill be sticking with supernatural and BOS.
