As title Im looking to get rid of the 4x4 look of my cup. Any ideas? Cheers Fraser

Bloody hell 10K.... thats alot of £

Does a higher camber not mean less traction off the line? Im having real problems with my 172 cup off the line and thats with brand new tyres! A guy took me out in his civic type r and there wasnt any wheelspin! :(

Were you in glasgow?

Cheers m8 i'll have a look. What do you estimate the 0-60 , 0-100, top speed with a 240bhp type r engine in an elise? Fraser

Im just wondering whether its been damaged in a crash but it doesnt look like it... £620 for a type r engine? I want!

oops soz :)

I've just seen this on ebay. I was thinking about that in a used elise s2 chassis, with some engine work.... Would be a good project and a nice track car... How easy would it be to slot it in? Cheers Fraser http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160022856156&fromMakeTrack=true

Saw you in the middle lane going towards the city centre, stuck in traffic. around 7pm i think

Lucky you didnt put it in the engine! Would have made a nice bang! Thats not a good sign that the coolant tank didnt have any water in it. Has the car recently been serviced? Head gasket could be on its way out!? Check under the oil cap for white gunge. If theres some Id get it to the garage pronto.

wouldnt be able to use them on the road as the wheels are outside the bodywork.

I had two type r's at crail in my 172 cup although they maybe would be pulling it back over 100mph. The v6 vectras are quite nippy but Ive never had any probs with them. I spend my time winding up porsche boxster s owners ;)

Are these 17's I see on it? You could be in the 14's with some proper 16's on it. I got a 15.1 at crail in a factory std 172 cup.

Its got a sunroof as well! :S

Has someone changed the keys round on your keyboard tonight edde? ;)

Tinting is for ugly ppl that want to hide ;)

Update:- I've taken it back to another kwik fit, they rebalanced the wheels and there is still a vibration from 70+ mph now.. :( It surely must be something else? Driveshaft? Wheel bearing? Warped brake disk? Its a real pain in the ar*e! More ideas would be appreciated.

Looks like free seat covers that you would get on the front of fast car magazine. ;)

I've just had my front tyres replaced with the std contis and Im getting alot of steering wheel wobble at 50 + mph. The guys at kwik fit say that the wheels are perfectly balanced. Could it be anything else? One of the front wheels is a refurbed alloy. Cheers Fraser

Cheers for that guys. Im just hoping they can put the engine back together properly as they couldnt tighten a sump plug up properly at its last service. Fraser

Well if renault who build the engines recommend 5w 40 for rs models then thats what I want in mine. Its just to save the garage the time, hastle and cash of buying the right oil for the car, when they can use the same oil as all the other cars.

The main dealers dont put fully synthetic oil in during service. It appeared on my invoice as "semi synth 10 w 40" which is what they put in the bog std clios. It burns up a bit quicker too from my experience.

Yeah its the seal round the rocker cover at the top. Hopefully if its going to take a couple of days I'll get a hire car as I need it for work. Cheers Fraser

oh dear. You should of sprayed the 1.2 badges silver if you wanted them to match your alloys.

what big hands you have oms.... ;)

Turn the engine off and free wheel down hills? ;)

Hey guys I was wondering if one of you could help me in relation to the work that the renault garage is carrying out on my car for a leaking seal at the top. Here is a link to the parts they have ordered in for my car. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=156270 Cheers Fraser

Ive just got the car back with a small dent in the bonnet from where one of the numpteys dented it again, this is after I kicked up a stink about it last time and the same thing has happened. Im too tired to bring this up with them again. They didnt have the parts they needed so I need to put it...

Yup personal choice. As long as you notice a difference thats all that matters.

I've had two no probs. Common fault with the wheels. Just said that it was a manufacturing fault and not wear and tear as they were claiming.
