Have you 100% got the right plugs ?! IIRC they are very specific.
Won't be the lambdas. They adjust fuelling, you'll be running rich if they are fubar'd but not misfiring.
Are the HTs put in the right place now ? Some genius put them point to point on mine, rather than matching the numbers and putting them through the gap on the end where they should be.
Rob (Robbos) bodged his in with a couple of bolts somewhere, but i cant remember where. Maybe we had to drill the bumper ?!
Still that's karma for you... Ph1's should be Ph1's .. not Ph1.5's ;)
Put some Renault wheels on it .. decent rubber .. lower it if insurance allows. That'll pretty much do.
If you like music, put a subtle sub in too .. will do wonders for the sound staging (especially if you can tweak the head unit to cut bass to the front speakers).
http://www.swinton.co.uk/car/shortterm/ i found these guys were cheap, had 2 drivers on gf's clio for ~£20 with £250 excess. Others wanted £30+ for one driver and excess in 4 figures
Tidy. Like the colour. Friend had one a few years ago, nearly new too. Had it for a couple of years then bought an ST2.

Please leave the t-cut in the shop haha !! No need to take it to a bodyshop if it's what I think it is !
Did you just give the car a bath with some suds ? Plenty of info on here how to clean and protect the car ...
A full exhaust system from Renault is something like £1900 if you have the cat too. Hilarious, I know.
I had the stealth, de-catted and it sounded boomy and a bit too chavvy at low revs, but above 3k it sounded ace !! With a cat in for MOT time, it sounded 'sporty' for lack of a better word...
K-Tec Stealth.
If you keep the cat in (of course you will for legal and environmental reasons!!) it shouldnt be much louder than standard at all.
Also will out last the car, for about £300 !?
Standard or pattern parts are as useful as a chocolate fireguard.
Interesting comment about Sky .. thanks
I'm with Greenlight at the moment and Dan's with Endsleigh (the cheapest for him on the //E46 surprisingly!). I will call them once the world goes back to work.
Housemate and I have moved closer to work. Instead of doing 40 miles a day we're struggling to hit 5 ! :approve:
It's great not having to commute TBH.
Anyway, we were talking about getting a cheap as you like car, something very sub £1k to use as workhorse/shopping/commuting car but a...
