I saw this earlier and was thinking about it and the 200 - Renault have tried to do what BMW did a few years ago - radical new designs. Problems with that: The BMWs were actually very good cars as well. These things never work in round 2...

I nearly did that to mine, power-wise. Still miss that car.

The VVT DOES NOTHING at 5,000rpm. The VVT operates at <2,000rpm to save the lumpy idle only. If it's not working the the power would be off the mark on the whole range. By a long way.

I didn't say it ran lean, I said it ran as lean as possible for emissions regulations. More fuel = more power in this area. As far as top end goes, yes, it's near on perfect for performance, but fuelling is magic and there's various 'perfects' depending on how you look at it.

£800 on the Lotus. £800 on the Clio. Go figure...

Looks like a red cross to me!

Don't know. Apparently they run incredibly lean up to that point then because regs allow them to they go to town afterwards. I guess the 'true' answer depends on the product someone's flogging to you at the time, although realistically it's a combination of all of the above.

Fuelling, apparently. After 5k ish the Euro emissions regs don't matter a toss so they can start the bilge pump. Hence why a remap can do so much.

SRP on a middle-of-the-road pad is awesome stuff. For how little it removes it can make a shed look awesome. However you can't layer it.

A lack of understanding. Just because they came on the car, doesn't make them naff Renault bits. quite the contrary, they're massively expensive motorsport specification dampers...

Keep the Sachs stuff. As has been said a couple of times: You're not going to better the standard stuff for less than 800 nicker. If you decide you're binning off your Sachs stuff, send them this way. Mine will want doing soon but if I can have a set ready, well, win really!

I use A048s currently on the Exige, very good tyres but with the LTS compound differences you get quite violent shakes at 88mph upwards. Apparently this is a 'feature' - the R888s are also fairly well rated and don't have this issue.

Righty! Finally had chance to get some more done to it. New polisher has turned up courtesy of cleanyourcar.co.uk: And it's incredible. Utterly sublime - such a joy to work with. It doesn't take any effort at all to haul around because of it's (lack of) weight, the speed governor is spot on...

It spat it's dummy out earlier but seems to be ok. Have to say I'm not impressed, T-Mobile I had 4 hours outage of data in 3 years, on O2 in a few months I've had 5 days out!

Nah. Logitech and MS have a very, very good relationship and it's purely that the 360 uses a different 'language' to talk to controllers compared to the PC/PS3/All other USB devices.

Yep! Shame they haven't engineered in the required hardware (even if it's on a second connection) to get it working with the 360. Bit short-sighted IMHO... As that was their 'excuse' for the G25.

Lol! :D

Do they work on Apple Cacks? ;)

Logitech website implies that you are indeed correct Darren, 299.99 list for both.

O2 did worse though, had 2 contracts with them about 9 months apart. Phoned them up, asked them to cancel the one that was due for renewal please. They agreed and did it, but somewhere along the lines it all went horrifically wrong and they sent me a bill for ~£500. Every time I spoke to them...

Not least of which, I didn't say:

Voda have done this for years - several times we've 'cancelled' contracts only to be told we have to give them notice in writing. I pointed out that they were s**t, and T-Mobile, O2 and Orange all take you saying over the phone, and it's just them that feel that they can bully people into...

Hang on, hang on. I was refering to a not a

Hang on a minute... ?

Had it this week... Lol! Noisy sodding car!

Update: Renault have *FINALLY* furnished me with goodies. It's taken a while, but:- Tada! All sealed and ready to take tyres.

I don't think so IIRC, as the 6-speed box has grown somewhat. Only what I remember though...

Laptop TDP allows them to run to anything up to a frankly rediculous 105 degrees.

One thing to bear in mind. Fuel = Oil. Vaguely. They don't smell as different as dogshit and roses.

But apparently all placebo, and not gains. Looks pretty, sounds nice, doesn't go faster.
