    Mintex 1144s any good?

    i really rate 1144's on the road, i run them on genuine discs on my trophy and they survived fine on a midnight blast down dukes pass glued to my mates m3. Used them on my flamer on brembo HC discs, braided lines and superblue fluid and they were better

    For future value and desirability RB 182 FF or Trophy

    hes asking about holding its value though not making money. I read that as what is he going to be able to own for x amount of years and not loose money on depreciation. That was my interpretation of it anyway that would be the last of my worries tho. I could get every one of the 5000 pounds...

    Martin's DCi 80

    was on a run from Stirling to Manchester the other day and it averaged 74mpg with 4 people and 4 big bags in the car. knocking about town which I mostly do it does about 65mpg, that's just plodding about, if its a week when im rushing about running late and kicking its head in does 58-59mpg

    Martin's DCi 80

    UPDATE: was going to sell it on but every time I come to do it I just cant part with it!! so decided to keep it until the summer anyway! (but probably longer!!) so needed something to amuse me.... as it sits now at standard ride height with its new Twingo suspension!

    love them in Oyster, couldn't buy one without a Diff though! transforms the car, not like the clio days where it was just a set of stiffer springs and dampers and it was no biggie!

    is what you are slavering! 197/200/dci 106 box is lightyears ahead of a jc5 in feel, and in my experiance are both as reliable as each other ive yet to kill one!
  21. Martin_172

    School me up please - Clio 200

    step away from the crack pipe yet you agree with me that the 172 box is s**t? Lol drive a 197/200 properly and you wont have any gearbox issjes! 172/182 share box with the dci80

    wheel spin

    ive got R888's on the trophy and £15 a tyre budgets on the DCI. i get to work safely no matter what car i drive, yet im probably cornering 3 times slower in the dci and its moving about more! just need to adjust your driving to the conditions/grip available

    Trophy 299 New owner

    was about to welcome you to the top of the pyramid but it appears your a few blocks from the top lol!!!
  27. Martin_172

    wheel spin

    completely disagree with that, i wouldnt spend £600 on r888 on my dci as i dont need that level of grip but on a 172/182 i dont see why anyone would want to save money by not having the best tyres they could buy. Unless they drove it purely because they liked the colour

    Do you ever get comments on your car?

    "why do you keep an old clio in the garage, take it out, wash it and put it back in?" "thought you were into cars? if so why do you drive that old thing?" - becoz DCI! fair points tbf...
