I think that the departed Capt. Slarty reckoned that a Scenic 4x4 transmission could be fairly easily modified for a Clio. Then again, maybe it would be better to shove a clio shell on an Evo. Or maybe just buy an Evo....

My local Kwik Fit (Hillsborough, Sheffield) are actually very good. Theyve recently done my battery and a wheel bearing. The bearing had got badly stuck in the hub and even though it took them ages to get it out, they only charged me the £75 that I had been quoted. Renault wanted £160 +VAT...

Meow!

15.6 in 172 MK2 2002 Model / Standard / Warm & Dry / York In other words, not very good.

Does it look like a Jelly Mould or the b*****d offspring of a Pokemon character and an accident with a truck? ;)

I think Ive got a resonating heat sheild in my exhaust system. What is this "ping" test and how do I go about "fettling the shields"?!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT... Heheheh!

A what?!

Yup, gotta be a 205. There are Turbo Technics 205s (and others Im sure) out there. Dont get a Nova!

The speed it pulls away from the other 172 and goes past the scooby.....very nice!

Im already in Sheffield, so i could save the hassle of driving from london and put your wheels in my boot (you dont mention anything about getting them back to London, right?) ;)

Is that the one that rolled on the M18/M1 near Sheffield?

:confused:

Yup, if a garage refuses a test drive, tell em to piss off and take your cash elsewhere. Although I can see why Ford wont let the RS out with an 18 year old. Suit or no suit!

Im up for York if I can get the day off work. Depends how many others are going though.

All putting out 199bhp :p

Ignition leads? My Williams feels a bit flat mid-range. Worth changing you reckon?

The witness is the important thing. Thats why the police wouldnt do anything for me (as I didnt have one). Hit and run is very serious and I doubt theyll let them off too lightly. Rhys

Its sort of between Sheffield and Doncaster. Think it was the M1 to M18 bit as I was on my way down the M1 at about that time and there were loads of warning signs flashing just before the M18 turn off.

Didnt see it myself, but abbs_172 texted me to say that he saw a Blue Mk2 172 on its roof and surrounded by police where the M18 meets the M1. :(

There is a chip that I found a link to on the forum that allows the features you mention, but not sure if Unichip offer the same.

The seats in most cars are designed to come out to create a bigger load area. The Williams one even have easy removal clips on them. Cant see why it would invalidate insurance.

The MK1 172 in red is kind of maroony...

Skidding?? Is the ABS bust on your motor?!

Renault really are cheeky monkeys, arent they!

Hmmmm......slick......not OTT...... How about a giant shark fin mounted on the bonnet?

Yawn....:sleep:.....you want to try strapping yourself to the the space shuttles booster rockets. 0-60 in 0.001 seconds and no brakes.

Dont think its like launch control. If the wheels start to spin itll cut power to the engine which isnt great when attempting a good launch! I think that race logic launch control can make 1000 adjustments a second or something like that. Cant imagine the built in traction control being designed...

Base model MINI One is 90bhp I think. 110bhp for the Cooper and 160bhp for the S.
