Tried that, they just got pushed out the way by the awesome power behind them. ;)

Cheers j3ned, at the moment I use a normal car jack to get it up a bit, and then Ive got a trolley jack for the rest, but Id rather use ramps as its quicker and safer....

PMd you Andy. SMT7s are the lastest in custom ECU reprogramming. ASFAIK they dont replace it altogether though.

Does anyone know of any portable car ramps that will work for the V6? Obviously the front is very low, and I think most ramps are too short. Any suggestions welcomed!

Hey Stu, Ive got a second car for rainy days......but I dont think a daewoo matiz is exactly what youre looking for! haha....ah god, Ive gotta get the misses to buy something with some street cred!

/flame suit on I think personalised plates are a bit over-rated. There are some good ones, like X5 drivers with PEN15S, but in general theyre a bit too personalised, and no one knows what they mean (even if its so obvious to you!). I have to laugh hard when I see a 50 quid fiesta bombing...

:o ;)

I might try that jongsr4 :).... Heal and toe used to be easy in my frp where the pedals were at the same level when applying the brakes and blipping the accelerator, but in the v6, even when the brake pedal is pressed quite hard, its still a lot higher than the accelerator pedal, so you can...

You guess? Well you let me know when youre changing....i fancy uping mine an inch :D

And not being as adjustable on the throttle, and pushing wide on the corners.....they made the mini sound a bit poor in comparison.

They come in larger sizes? Or is the design different?

Ben, are the increased burbles, pops and flames a result of the decating more than anything else? Or is it down to manifold design?

What do they new wheels look like?

Its the type of person / car combo that makes for a "nob" identification... For example, if you saw a Zonda (the car, not the guy on here ;)) pulling out a little too quick is gonna sound good and look pretty sweet... On the whole though, I would most certainly class these people as complete...

Got them on the back of the V6 since last weekend - and they are very grippy....usually when Im running low on fuel, the back end gets a bit lively - but not with these, very grippy and nice stiff sidewalls :D Btw, this is for the Rossos

Quite a few cups and 182s in MK. But loads more CTR and LCRs around...

I considered a kit for my car, and http://www.xenonvalot.com/http://www.xenonvalot.com/ would be my first choice - very good value and theyre guys seemed to know their stuff!

Your car is suffering a Final Destination style curse!

Looks bland, the whole point of the clio was its stylish and cheeky looks.

btw, got any pictures?

I didnt think that an HPI check would record anything other than a "catagory A/B/C/D", and a £2000 claim is none of those on a £15,000 car. The estimate you have received sounds about right for the work required, but Im surprised you bent the subframe :o

Do Justmatz do a blue that will match the carpet interior of a mk1 V6? Ta.

Wideboy

Oh... Harro? If you are on a tight budget, you buy a mk1 V6...dont pretend them dont exist - because they do, and they kick ass, oh yeah!

My bad. :sick: Gotta love the warranty!

Depends how you view them though, if like Turbo200 you compare them to the cup, I agree, the throttle response is poor and it doesnt feel agile and chuckable but as a grand tourer, its hard to beat. The engine has bags of torque, sounds great and the ride is near perfect for UK roads. Coming...

A very similar thing happened to me when I first got mine. I had the steering on full-right lock (trying some arse-out moments in the work carpark) and it suddenly started grinding really loudly. I tried to turn the steering back, but it would just grind and the engine would strain. In the...

Good choice Jay, look forward to the vids... p.s. have you got the cold air feed in the vent opening?

I was just having a little go, no offence ;) I used to own a Z3 2.8 as well, which I bought for the same reasons as you - looked good, soft top and great engine (which sounded brilliant with my power-losing K&N on there :p). My comment was simply sticking up for V6s as a hot hatch. My car is a...

I doubt it mate, I think itd be very 50/50. 50% would chose the VX for the track/weekend, the other half would chose the V6 for the practicality.
