yeah as blink172 says they are the worst. 40 everywhere. you over take them before a 30 then get in front of them and when ya hit the 30 they get pissed of with you because you are doing 30 in a 30 so thay sit right on your ass. best thing to do is when you leave the 30 stay @ 30mph just to piss...
the other ones that piss me off are when you over take and theirs a mile between you and the cars coming the other way. you over take one car and the car coming the other way flashes you as if to say what the f**k are you doing. the thing is by the time they have flashed you you have pulled back...
might have to invest when i get my rear quater resprayed. wish it could polish that out lol i would def have one. 182 blue you got the link for the polisher??? thanks
so is their much point in these things for a car with new paint work. i would be well worried about covering the car with swirl marks. but they do bring up old cars well by the looks of it.
toypop that is my point. nothing in it @ all. so everyone back on topic. 182 vs wrx and not wrx sti spec c. ok this is little of topic. mate has just got a 380bhp engine from a mate of his and just put the figures into http://www.letstorquebhp.com/http://www.letstorquebhp.com/ and its coming up...
he very well maybe mitchy but thats his problem not mine. also the figures i have checked for the 60-100 times of both cars is the wrx is 1.5 sec slower. if anybody got the figures for 30-100 please post them. i would like to see them also.
Mitchy grow up. i got better things to do with my time than think of driving tales unlike your self. why do i need to prove my self to you. couldnt care less if you think it happend or not. also no body on here even said the clio was a supercar so why did you say that?
no i didnt say that did i? as everyone knows the 4wd traction will beat the 2wd from standstill without a problem. but when rolling their is nothing in it. other day 30-100 on private road nothing in it and then got to corner and left him for sh*t. its a wrx with engine work 280bhp
i can safely say that their is sod all in it. theirs a 280bhp one local to me and both our cars are no faster than each others. so the standard one would be slightly slower than a 182 even my mates mitsi evo 6 only slowly pulls away from me 40-90mph on private road.
was speaking to a bloke today who works for the AA and he said that if you get a punture then they will fix it or take you to the nearest place to get it fixed. have heard that people on here was paying extra to get this option on their AA 3 year cover but he siad that you dont have to. all the...
what would happend if you went in there and said dont worry i have changed the oil the other day also changed the oil filter and refilled all the bottles my self. what would they say then? will you just get a bill for £0 and thats ur service done?
With those distances it must have been based on a car with no brakes @ all lol. that is just stupid. still dont understand why we get charged more money for a car insurance because our cars can pull of faster than say a 1.1 but we dont get money of because our cars can stop in @ least half the...
yeah sem to be very good tyres. just make sure you aint putting air in the tyres when they are hot because as soon as weather cools down then will look like they have lost pressure.
Handling is awsome. better than me old 205 gti i can say with out a doubt. feels similer but def better. as for the brakeing it does tend to make the back end light but what do you expect the cars stoping power is amazing. the clio has 2 effects from hard brakeing. The first is the backend going...
well still aint found the problem which is causeing the noise on my 182 it seems to be the exhaust but can not tell where the hell it is coming from. it also now makes a sound like pop corn cooking when im not moving and just sit there and rev to about 3000. the noise after 3000 is still there...
j3ned my bro said what gear box are you using on this engine as he said the VW gearboxes are all different and they all has different transmission losses. i.e the deisel ones are higger just because of the uprated parts involved. he said you would then be able to get the figures your talking...
yeah he said the differences from what he knows are the golfs run a k03 turbo and the other higger powered ones run the k04 turbo. he says he is sure the engine is vvt as the 150 and 180 fwd and 4wd are vvt so yours should be as well.
Mitchy he says the engine is the same enigne as the 20v 1.8t engines that are in the golfs? he has worked on them for 5+yrs he says not the same power output but they are the exact same engines.
my bro had something to say about these engines (VW technician) he said that he has seen golfs pushing similer bhp figure as j3neds. but he said that these engines have a problem of throwing the con rods through the engine block. also the head tech of VW also said the same thing to me bro whilst...
nice setup matt. and about the handling of these 4 wd drive cars people. me mate has a mitsi evo 6 and when he goes around tight bends with any power down @ all his back ends starts to kick out and finds it hard to get it back if it goes to far. ok in the wet its a different storey altogether...
