think you get a 1k limit after your service interval before it affects warranty too (eg. you need to get it serviced by 19k if its on 18k service intervals)
edde, so you can change the dials and keep your original millage? couple of people on here said they had new dials under warranty because of this problem and it reset their millage and renault said nothing they could do?
get her an N/A Starlet.
we had one that done 250,000 miles in 4 years and only part that needed changed was a clutch and wheel bearings. we had another one at 150,000 that didnt need one single part changed, still on standard clutch, started to need a clutch so sold them both for 2 clios (one...
165-170 on an acurate RR depending on how decent or bad your inlet manifold is. will be bit higher with standard airbox back on tho, dont see the point in a K&N, paying money to make your car slower and sound faster? only time id use an open cone is when the standard airbox cant flow enough air...
best: brand new red M3 or RWD Skyline
worst: 2.0 16v corolla Tsport (guy couldnt drive it very well and i was cornering atleast twice the speed of him every corner and pulling out to overtake and by the time i was ready to pull in he had started gaining and pulling past me lol
ahh thats cars for you, in the last 4 months ive spent 4x what i payed for my car in parts, and thats with £0 labour costs! its had and engine, gearbox, bushes, bearings, exhaust, brakes & suspension along with 4 tyres to name a few!
aye looks like it for a bit mate, looked like it was going to cost a bit more than i thought when you inc insurance increase, and got MOT next month and didnt want to have any hastle getting it thru due to emissions etc, will happen eventually tho
just thought with 45 it would let me go as low as possible and look better as even 50 profile look a bit chunky! and suppose it will handle better, not sure if its noticeable or not tho?
anyone got any pics of 15s on 45 profile?
cheers
as some of you may know i recently blew up my 1.2 16v after 140k of hard miles, looked into 1.6 16v conversion and even buying a 1.6 16v but too much money for another black clio when ive already got one, and insurance was going to sting me for a conversion, so anyway went on a spending spree...
lol i want a shot of that on the road, smoking every c**t at the lights lol
drive at 30 in a 60 then floor it when someone tries to overtake you and watch their face
mine whines when your just touching the throttle to keep it moving and not actually trying to acelerate, its the gearbox, never done it untill my new one went in? only done 8k miles that box so cant see it being fuked
buy it or spend my 2k deposit ive saved on SL02 VNB and get it running again?!?!?! (already spent close to 7k not inc buyingit) 2nd idea is what i want my heart says but head says buy the 1.6 lol
8 valve ouch! i can live with a 16v 1.2 even after driving much faster cars it still feels ok but i just cant live with 8v 1.2s lol only one bit thats decent is the cable throttle, even on the brand new campus ones!
im not going to be ripping up the 1.6 to put a 2.0 in it tho, just i blew up my 1.2 and fancied doing something a bit different while im rebuilding it. although thinking about sticking another 1.2 in it and a set of coilovers with the money im about to spend on it untill i can insure a 172...
yeah all labour being done by myself, mate whos a mechanic helping.
just need to sort something out as ive only gone 3 days without my car now and its killing me so need to get a new car or engine!!
climate/aircon i could do but would rather do without for the extra performance lol plus its...
