Yeah, just for the drive really. How far away is it? So if we meet at Cineworld earlier, then drive to Washington. Then you can man up and come along to lakeside as well ;)

I agree with chrispy. I think small bits of carbon look a bit tacky. Carbon should only be there if it saves weight. Op, Christopher bought a carbon bonnet for his RB 182, I guess that's the one you mean?

Stripping 100kg is equivalent to adding ~16 bhp on a cup. How many of you have bought mods that give you an extra 16bhp? Are they pointless too?

So you can look like a racing driver when you pull up in tesco... Obviously.

I'm assuming you mean the 200.... lol. But yes it is.

As long as you've got buckets, just do a bit of spraying on the inside and it will look fine. Just take the back seats out first and see how you go with it for a couple of days.

Man up and break out the tools.

Paint them alien green, then you get extra cool points cos it's a Renault colour.

I've just started getting this too.... Need to get the lambda sensor replaced if that's what it is. Mine's a bit more subtle though tbh, sounds like overrun.

A lot of the people that questioned what you were saying have degrees in motorsports engineering.... Yes, AC loses you HP but it's very minimal, 5 or 6 at most, suggesting you can't pull away from another car because of it is ridiculous. It's probably best that you don't spend too much time...

Welcome mate! Car looks tidy :)

The exhaust should work, with some 'modifications' The pictures, it's easiest if you use photobucket.

Car bought outright so, nothing. Insurance, £94 i think Fuel, £150ish Other crap, £30 or so Upgrades, as much as I have spare

Can't be compared. The only argument for the 205 would be it's 'rawness' or whatever you want to call it. The 200 would have it spanked in every department in a straight comparison. Since the 'driving experience' isn't a quantifiable thing, there will never be an answer.

I haven't done it yet myself, but the dci rack is what I'll be using when I get round to it.

The 1.2 16v has 58mm hub spacing, pretty sure the 1.4 does too. Don't you need to change the drive shafts as well Fred?

Removing the power steering frees up about 7bhp too which is nice :) RARB is definitely the way to go. It's my only complaint about the handling of mine at the mo, the body roll.

Fair doos mate, seems like you're of to a good start. Try www.revolution247.co.uk for wheels, I got mine from there and they're excellent, great service and the cheapest I've found. They do 6 months interest free finance too (I veary nearly took it out on some kw's and a whiteline ARB, but I got...

No you're not, dammo_sport is meeting us in Crawley ;) I'm tempted to drive down to Washington tbh, just for the fun of it. Do you know where it is arney?

I replaced my rear shocks a short while ago. Had all of the problems you're describing, handling crap, crashy ride, unpredictable handling, tramlining massively. Completely solved it all.

Ultraleggeras are pretty much the lightest non-magnesium rim you can buy, but they're very expensive. Team dynamics pro race 1.2's are only ~400g a corner heavier which isn't too bad. Going 15'' is the most important thing. The biggest things I'd be spending money on are brakes, Brembo HC disks...

K-tec isn't all that far from you.... I wouldn't take it to Renault, just because I hate getting financially raped and talked to like i'm a few sandwiches short.

i think theyre beautiful tbh.

mondial ftw.

I'm not saying you couldn't buy customs, but they're certainly not necessary, they can go really frickin' low on coilies! Stretch would look good.... going a bit euro are you?

buy a cup.

the silver has recaro's..... winner

MEETING IN CRAWLEY 1. Jack_kemp

16's are definitely nicer.... You won't need custom springs on 16's if you're on coilovers mate.
