Cooking oil?

Bloody cages are so expensive! I only really want one for a stiffer shell/better handling as im too good to crash (lol)

Course the same thing will happen like computers Pentium one million and ten. Iphone two billion and two Flastscreens, plasma, I don't buy in to the idea that companies develop better technology, I think they always know and just keep releasing better stuff to make money. After all if the...

I don't know why we aren't using ethanol to be honest. Oh actually yeah I do. The oil companies control the world. Funny how shell are now buying power companies. Ready for when the world goes electric. Its always been a sneaking suspicion if mine that battery technology has been purposefully...

Changing the manifold over is a doodle though and getting 200bhp n/a from them doesnt seem to be any harder than getting it from a Clio. I love them but they are getting a bit old now.... Only seemed like yesterday that every other car on the road was a VTR now theres hardly any!

Thats what I assumed. Hmm I like ABS. Could possibly live without aircon though ;)

My Twingo 133 sport was a happy oversteer machine which is odd...

Are lightweight batteries the preserve of race car/extreme track cars? Or can they work with a road car and power all the standard sport features at the same time? I like the idea of saving around 10kg but not sure where to start/where to look. I would probably mount in its original place.

I've never experienced oversteer in my Clio once! The back end goes light over 100mph but thats it! Thats on a standard sport 172 (understeer machine)

Smart doorcards...

Doesnt it already have one?

Never noticed a kick. Occasionally it can be annoying having to over 5k to "go fast" especially on motorways etc but once you get used to it its fine.

Yay brakes are fitted! Thanks to @g172 Just went for the Brembo HC's with Brembo pads and same for the rear except genuine Renault discs. Car feels so much better, there must have been something wrong before as the car seems to drive much straighter and the steering feels better so thats a...

No way! Plastic window now then?

Looks pretty nifty that I like it! i think I'll go similar, I don't find the noise at present too much but may get the ktec boot carpet. Depends really. I can't wait to swap the heavy drivers seat for a cobra clubsport (most likely) although sadly the passengers will have ti remain as I need...

I took mine off the 172 when I painted the grille and was more than happh NOT having them lol But each to their own :)

I can't believe you bought the engine bay stickers LOL

1,679 grams Tar sound deadening behind front seats/in front of rear seats (6pieces I believe) Not including the boot one.

Im only just starting to live mine after 6 months, I blame it on the crappy winter roads and poor tyres. Now thats sorted its epic. Only things getting away from it need at least 100bhp more!

Sold the cup spoiler and going to be purchasing a vibratechnics engine mount. So I've saved at least a kilo of weight putting the sport spoiler back on and also caused less drag :smiley: Also got rid of the pointless sound deadening tar by the rear seats... Minus 238 grams because of the mat...

I like your brake ducts and rear window sticker! Where did you get them?

Doggers?

Cool. Will do! Then Snetterton!

When I tried and failed to strip the rear if my car (can't undo the middle passenger seatbelt bolt on the roof) I was shocked at how little a lot of the stuff weighed. The sound deadening in the rear doorcards weighs bugger all as does the stuff directly under the carpet. The tar stuff is...

Bit of a shitter with the windscreen. I did the same thing with a 106 Gti. Took the mirror off as it was covered in a million air fresheners and couldnt be assed to untangle and remove them all. Then went to put the mirror back on and......crack!

I love my ktec exhaust! Sounds awesome!

I just had a look as the dates are tempting as is the track time. But its further than I want to go if I breakdown or something so think I'll give it a miss. If I was Northern I'd be there though.

Im at work but knowing ny luck its probably a northern thing anyway. Thats the problem with being from Essex. Everyone drives Fords!

Yeah I'll take it but im not back from work till tuesday (go up friday) How much you after for the strut brace?
