Aha, reading fail on my part. Unburnt fuel is sent into the exhaust, it burns in the exhaust, giving the pops and bangs. I'm sure there's other people that do it, they're just the only two that i know of.

pfft... like they would know! :rasp:

Not rich, just dumps a small amount of fuel when you let off the throttle. But yeah the pops/bangs are overrun. JMS and RStuning offer it, there's probably others too... you have to have a decat though as it will ruin a cat in no time at all.

Sure, but we'll have to find somewhere with a big car park to accomodate for everyone :rolleyes:

Normal. If you like it, get an overrun remap.

:o Same thing..... edit: in fact, are you sure? You wouldn't say you drive a Clio Renault....

the size of the sub enclosure is EVERYTHING. Can be the difference between it sounding fantastic or utter s**te. If you want SQ, I would really suggest putting your money into a very good amp and some very good components. You'll be amazed at how good some properly installed door speakers can...

Congrats chap. There's not a lot you can do without insurance financially raping you. Painting is the best thing to start with, body colouring bits, maybe get a little colour theme going. Just play around with it mate, that's what your first car is for! Roystinho, clio sport is NOT a 172...

The intake you have.... BMC CDA by any chance? That's one of the better intakes for the RS clio.

Bilstein are £704.... for the difference in cost between k-tec and Bilstein, there is no competition. Bargain. Another plus, as you don't know much about suspension, they're set-up out the box. There's no adjustment to worry about. Fit and drive.

you'll never get the same low end punch out of door speakers, but they can be very very good if done well..... I'd start with this, you may find you're happy with it. JL audio are good, I'm a fan of DLS. I'm guessing from what you've said that you're more interested in volume than SQ? What...

Bilstein B14's Simple Brilliant The best value top end road coilover IMO Lots of people on here have them and love them Look awesome It will please Fred. You don't have cup packs do you?

just buy an oem looking head unit.... I would strongly advise against putting it in the glove box. For the speakers, if you want decent bass out of door speakers, they need to be amped, sealed well and dynamated. Otherwise you'll have lots of rattles and vibrations and s**t sound quality. I...

RStuning in Leeds, is that close to you?

Induction noise combined with exhaust noise is win though. There's nothing at all to be gained, power wise, from any induction set up. ALL you will gain is noise. so it's your choice.

Not sure you could choose a worse car to race to be honest..... they handle like crap. in fact worse.

I'll be there, why not!

Bit of friendly competition there no doubt.....

I would honestly say this is the nicest 197 I've seen. Exactly how I would want it to be if I had one. Gorgeous.

I think you're probably being hugely over dramatic, while the engine isn't under load, it doesn't produce much exhaust gas, so the gas will just take the easiest route to exit. It's very very unlikely to be a problem.

Red and white would look great if you ran it without tyres. As it is, it has to red and black for me.

That's what I meant :o

No, your old disks and caliper will fit mate. It's only the bolt spacing for the suspension that is different. As others said, this is the way to go. Then you can get cheap coilovers. If you buy springs, you'll get bored, want it lower and then end up buying hubs and coilovers anyway. Better...

Welcome mate. As Dave says, you can clean up the headlights a treat. Stealth 1*2's look awesome, so black with little green details should look awesome.

LOL. If you meet them again, stand with your back to the wall.

They drive like s**t from cold too.... Is it the same when it's warmed up?

WOW. At least it shows it's possible! It does mention that carbon layering on wheel faces can be done.... It seems like it might be slightly out of my practical price range though :(

Who?

I can picture you (more of a stereotypical Scotsman as ive never met you) reading through this thread, gradually welling up with anger.... Then shouting at the screen and frantically typing. Made me LOL. Angry scots people are the best.

The supersport is the only one I'd say I like. I can't think of many many cars that I would own before one of these. Mclaren f1 LM being top of the list. Ascari A10 another strong contender. Saying that, I've not seen a veyron in the flesh, perhaps they make more of an impression.
