Friday morning about 7:55am just on the roundabout at the end of the A46 flyover near McDonalds/KFC/Roman Way.
You'll probably guess what I was driving......
Certainly did.....when I got up there on the first day I pleased the missus [not] by getting her dads bucket out the cupboard and my zymol and megs stuff out the boot and gave the car a bloody good clean. Sad I know. They just dont understand....
So, yes when i got home, the offending bugs...
Yes Maz, Hylton Renault, Cheltenham.
Although recent interim requirements had BenR tinkering under the bonnet. It will prob go back to Angelworks in Nov aswell. Great service, very happy.

Sorry to hijack lads, but i find fly squats really bad on my monaco blue.
Just come back from a week in Scotland and some of them left "etched in" marks on my bonnet!!!
I tried AG SRP and relented and went for the megs scratch-x, which just about sorted the problem, there are some tiny witness...
um....the clues in the title.....;)
ps...48k service on mine from Renault [Grantham] was £162 inc 5w40 Elf synth oil. No air filter changed as i have ITG panel fitted.
previous 36k was about £360 inc aux belt
Spot on Leon,
I went for the RS tuning remap and it made a good difference esp in pull from low to mid range.
I also lost that 5k kick, but think its because the engine revs more smoothly and with more grunt low down. Hence the smoother blend at 5k.
Ben did some work on my 172 a few weeks...
Theyre only about a tenner from Renault. Replace it if cleaning it doesnt help.
Someone did a guide on here a while ago of how to clean/change.
Mines bugging me at moment, only on tickover mind....
Understand what you and Chrissy have said about the rear mount. Mines well tucked up underneath. The exhaust was fab'd on the car.
As far as the "boomy" sound, I read that about the KTECs before i bought my Powerflow, however some of the guys on here reckon the later versions are a bit...
Oh:eek: Never really noticed. I think its the low angle i took one of the photos from.
It seems pretty level. I've been in the garage all evening claying, polishing and sealing the boot and the roof.:approve:
I think i was being too careful this time with the clay and havent quite taken...
D1CKY,
This is a Powerflow STEALTH system I had fitted at TopGear Doncaster.
Truly stealth in looks. :cool:Just like the original, unlike Chrissy_T4rdo's (!?) :eek:
The downturn on the outlet pipe from the backbox on the KTECs really look wrong.:S
The main thing putting you off a standard one is the same as the rest of us.
They come at a price (£400+) are made out of mild steel (or kit-kat-wrappers) and are only guaranteed for 12 months. And you know it will drop off on month 13.:dapprove:
My 172 had a cat and centre pipe replaced under...
I've just terminated my contract with Tiscali. Though because of the distance from the exchange, the max speed i can have is 512Kb!!
Apparently the lines are being upgraded and i should be able to get 8Mb which i will be getting from TalkTalk. Its "free". :) I have the MAC code from Tiscali so...
So yours is the Flame Red FF blackace?
Where you based, I know Milltek are in Derbyshire and the fitting centre is at Ilkeston. Wouldnt mind a listen if you're not too far away, I'm on Notts border.:)
Any opinions yet, I'm thinking about getting one, but maybe a twin tailpipe stealth. I know...
Video attached!!
Sorry its a clicky....and a bit poor quality, the 21Mb version is fine, however I didnt think anyone would appreciate the download.:)
Sorry, pointless post, couldnt attach the *.wmv movie file
ANY IDEAS??
That blue Cupra was parked round the back of turn 1, near the RenaultSport pitch when I left.:lolup:
I was videoing the start of the Clio Cup when the crash happened. I'll re-size it and post it up later. It was about 21Mb!!!
Went to the BTCC race at Rockingham yesterday, supported by the Clio Cup, Seat CUPRAs, Porsche Carreras and Formula BMW and Renault.
Access into the venue was superb, no delays, though we did get there at 08:50!
Had a great day, the view from the main grandstand is awesome, you can see the...
.....okay I know this is a really late reply.
Try using a Sweater De-fuzzer. Like the old Remington Fuzz-away, remember? I'm Victor Kiam...blah blah blah....I was so pleased I bought the company..blah blah blah.:approve:
Works a treat, its just like a little battery operated shaver, about...
Is it off your own car DrRollo?
Might be interested. Is it genuine Renault? Cat back?
PM me. I'm toying with the idea of putting mine back to standard before selling.....if i decide to sell it that is....

Sorry about delay Michael, answer is yes i noticed a slight improvement in power delivery. Although mainly noticeable over 4000rpm.
I put same in as OEM, so improvement shouldnt be colossal anyway, although originals had done 52k miles.
