So why did you sell a TB'd 172 to spend more money and get an alpha romeo which is the only thing on the face of the planet that loses money faster than a renault?

Nothing like drilling some weight saving holes into load bearing structure :D

You'd think Renault would over-exaggerate performance like ford, rather than understate it.

My little bro has one, it's pretty cool. He's got weird games that have completelt different gameplay to what I'm used to. Smart graphics, nice sound, all the touch and sound aspects which are added are a novelty. Wireless too I think. It's a little bit bulky but then it has got two screens.

OOOh look at the wheels, not a kerb mark on em! Lucky git :)

I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to stop you there chap. Silver speaker wire? Now come on, the guys is just upgrading his standard setup not creating a referance system. There's nothing wrong with decent quality copper wire.

No idea, sorry. First place to start is renault and shop around from there.

I had an engine mount snap on a Rover Metro I had. I went to the garage, they took the weight with a jack under the engine, old mount out, new mount in. They didn't even charge me as they used a mount they had sat in a dustbin!

I bet rich has got his gracious loser face on ;)

Splicing I think you mean.

Sweeeeeeet.

It said... panel filter, exhaust, remap and back seats out. I saw that video but I'd assumed you must've done some serious mods to get it that quick. I just can't believe how quick the things goes from 0-40.

I knew aliens are trying to abduct me! The doctors told me it was all in my head. After all those months of prescribed medication, I can now be confident and stop taking them thanks to you Gweebs! I'm gonna tell those doctors who's crazy!

OK, so I've just found a proper renaultsport track day. http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/event-details.asp?ProductID=1798 How often are these put on as I'm leaving the country in a few weeks for two months.

Mmmm! ...That is a tasty burger.

Great videos guys. I've never done a track day and I was grinning all the way though both of them :D Do most of you get track day insurance or do you not bother? That Oulton park looks fairly "safe" if you lose it from the vids. This sort of thing looks pretty cool. :D...

I'm coming towards tyre change time, I've got Pirelli P-Zero Nero's on. Very predictable, good grip, very reasonable price for the brand. I've had over 25k in them although I've done a lot of motorway driving and I never wheelspin.

Whenever I've had bits sprayed on my car, both renault and local independant bodyshop say they have to spray onto the next panel also because of the type of paint. (flame red)

Fred does them in the midlands. He's posted his number on here before if you want a quote.

The auto-power off thing defnitely sounds like the fuse. Don't be worried about diconnecting the radio as your fuse has alrady blown! Like the other guy said, it's the one or the cigarette lighter. One fool-proof way to test it is try using the cigarette lighter. Ponk it in and if the fuse...

I've read that having a sub as big as that and 6x9 in your parcel shelf is a definite no-no as the sub will destroy the 6x9's purely with the amount of air pressure it creates.

I've done some looking. If I were to get a Sony HU, it'd connect via a standard ISO connection and then to get the display and stalk working I'd need this adapter... CTSRNS003 approx £40 I still need help with someone to tell me how changing the head unit will affect my satnav (if at all)...

Mine buzzes.

WTF? It's 2:30am, I'm in no mood to read all that. Can you give a summary please?

Hi guys, I've got the colour renault satnav in my car. Is it possible to change the cd player without affecting the satnav? If I'm not arsed about the steering controls do I still need any kind of adapter? If I do want to keep steering controls, which adapter do I need? cheers. :)

At least your fuel consumption is about to get a whole lot better!

It's probably for the best that we didn't swap. Deep down I want a bigger car and I'm probably going to get a 225 old or new in a year, so I'd only have lost more money. Glad to see you got what you were looking for it and sorry I couldn't shell out any cash!

Don't get too excited as IMO if it lights up then you should have changed gear already.

and now look again.... No-one put off by this :(

Cheers fellas, yeah I've not got the iPod yet but d/l all the software to see if the dvd thing would work first. I used program called PQ DVD, it rips straight from the dvd and encodes to mp4 format in one go. Still looking for any advances on £253.75 delivered.
