bump stops are missing from the damper if its running eibachs and hitting the bumper bracket

crunching during fast gear changes

agree with this, 160bhp 1.4 TCE twingo, manual box, would be right up my street

it wont be the head gasket unless its been baked at some point due to running with no coolant? head gaskets don't really go on these engines in my experiance

Arnold Clark Grangemouth have no demo car planned, told me if I was seriously interested they could possibly source a 1.2 GT for me to test. told me its much the same but doesn't have launch control so wont do the 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds like the RS...... my mate went into Arnold Clark...

I remember the 182 that was for sale about a year after they were released, the link popped up on here it had 15" dynamique wheels, 1.2 dynamique interior etc, someone must have swapped all the bits over then traded it in and the dealer didn't notice, was up for top money at the time. when I...

no idea, its passed 100k, could be 101 could be 110 could be more!

there is around 20nm of extra torque from the 1.4 16v over the 1.2 16v but the 1.6 16v then has a further 20nm of torque over the 1.4. I think what people are trying to say is that where you will notice a difference in a 1.4 16v, its not worth considering changing for, especially when the 1.6...

fucked off at putting fuel in it yet? lol

im assuming its sub £4k performance cars, which of course the 182 is.

its only cool to post threads like this when its Arnold clark that has taken the trade in and you didn't tell them its a cut and shut.

110% agree

lol at the 1.4 beating 1.8 turbo civic things, is there even such thing as a turbo civic 1.8 thing? or do we just refer to vtec as turbo now since its another cool word? im with Dan@M.A.D, 1.4 never felt much different to a 1.2 too me, I had a 1.6 16v though and it felt better, be careful...

I had one of these baby things to look after for a weekend and to get it in the back of my twingo I had to fold one of the rear seats down and pass it through the boot, was murder.

suspension/steering refresh!

ah I just re read that sorry I thought that was a quote for them to do it! ohh well, done now I suppose. they are idiots they done my warranty engine change and made an arse of the full thing

to the enthusiast community yes but imagine a 18yr old who wants one because hes just been in his mates and now one that's been chipped to 260bhp has came up for sale, no reason to doubt the advert, all he knows is his mate is going down in the traffic light grand prix!!

Im not a fan of cheap modern laptops, id rather go for something a bit older and refurbished/2nd hand, it comes back to the sort of argument would you rather have a brand new Kia or a 2nd hand VW, it really is personal opinion! Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad, under £200 will get you a T61 which for not...

the thing is, quoting figures like that sells the car, not the first time ive had someone speak to me that's recently bought a clio with 200+ bhp because its chipped!! LOL @ covering the plates on a car your tring to sell!

Wests Renault, give them a shout http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?143-Wests-Renault

don't give they f**kers in stirling a penny, Michael the service manager is a knob. the sensor just needs reset, there is a guide on here to do it its a doddle, ill have a search see if I can find it EDIT: Heres how to do it...

non genuine ones are boomy and the bends are always restrictive on them. ive just fitted a new genuine one on mine and the car sounds as it should, nice noise when going for it and quiet around town. fits perfect too of course

quite smart, dci110 is a cracking engine, cant imagine it in something that big and 4WD but will still return good MPG I bet!

I stick to T1-R's now, a riot in the wet but don't drive like a tool and you'll survive. £140 for 4 on my 172 is pretty much free!!!

when the 197 came out I pulled up in my 172 and was told if I wanted to test drive a 197 they wanted me to put a deposit down on it first?! lol!!!

awesome id take one of these if they were for sale!

jesus that does seem expensive compaired to what ive been reading online but most of the ones ive been reading into are just straight 3-5yr finance where you own the car at the end

no i skipped to the end when someone started discussing if silvervisions were aloud slicks to me are not road tyres, and if that's what they refer to on here then that's odd?

for that reason i think nominating a road tyre rather than slicks would be better, as many of us yonger ones don't have licences to tow so we could have road legal cars (of course you can swap wheels but it ends up with everyone with road wheels lying about just complicates things!

im with something along the lines of freds idea... standard inlet/airbox, no matching. standard ecu, do what you want with mapping (everyone will just run fastchip 98ron!) standard diameter discs and standard callipers do as you please with manufactuer/compound nominate a tyre for the series...
