"1.8 with leather and air" Sounds kinky

The only thing im interested in finding out about is the real figures for the cars (ideally weight) and accurate ones at that. I would love a CUP but cant be arsed (dont have enough money/time etc) to change my car for one and i like my car. If the CUP had been available when i was buying...

"The thing I wish this forum had is a grammar/spelling correcter! I feel like Im turning into a English teacher, wielding a great big red pen and wanting to cross half of it out and start again! I know not everyone is that great at getting stuff down on a page but *pleeeease* can we have a few...

how much does petrol weigh - 50 litres is about 45 kg i think? Mine feels way faster when its low on fuel. Is optimax lighter than SUL? ;)

mk.2 golf 16vs are very quick. A good mate of mine has one thats slightly modded - lightened fly wheel balanced engine/clutch or something. It certainly isnt slow! another good mate of mine has a Miami blue 1.9 Gti and he was offered £6000 to sell it! its immaculate and has new engine, gas...

have you destroyed your courtesy car yet?

well those mi 16 405s are about 160 bhp arent they? put that into a small car (heavy engine over front wheels = understeer city) and youve got a straight line pocket rocket. So a 205 with 160 bhp probably weighing something like 950 kg? would be pretty quick, probably beat a 172? or very close

canine, insizors?

Its so funny trying to race things way about your level. In my scirocco i tried to race an EVO VI (modded) and it raped me SOOOO badly and he pressed his hazards in jest. In my Clio - been wasted as if i was standing or going backwards by a Porsche 911 turbo, new 400 bhp jobby, and boy did it...

SoLow - its only boring if its irrelevent to you _KDF - how about some of those lovely CUP alloys? or the speedline corse white ones of the cup racers?

get the sadev 6-speed sequential box off the CUP racers

but i think mk.2 owners manuals also say 1035 unladen weight? so they couldnt be arsed to change it, or all those extras are made from carbon/titanium

uh oh :o

Happy Birthday! go for a celebratory midnight toast.....

all i know is that my manual says 1035 kg unladen and 1490 kg. It was the first mk., the mk.1 and when the mk.2 came out with all the extra stuff the weight was unchanged at 1035 kg also which doesnt make any sense. So us mk.1 owners need to buy the mk.2 gear box and airbox, throttle body...

oh and those cars weighed werent standard. Had magnex exhaust systems which apparently weighed noticeably more. Do the cars in question have subs?

Ive read/heard somewhere that weigh bridges arent accurate for weighing cars - this is due to the suspension/wheels pushing out the weighing stalls/stands onto the sides of the walls thus giving a strange reading. Ill try and find it again soon and tell yall. In order to get accuracy you have...

yeah i was wondering about that. They probably mucked up 3rd gear, thats what usually happens!

Just sifting through my old mags and found a rather agreeable one as most mk.1 172 owners will, agree!:) Its within the article of a "battle" between mk.1 172, 206 gti, proton gti and ford puma. Its an auto express one and the times are as follows: 0-60 - 6.5 :) 30-70 thru gears - 5.8 30-50...

hi will, ah i see! wish i could afford something a lot quicker. My bros saving up for an evo of some sort as well. I was looking through all my old mags and found a buying guide on the EVO V and VIs if you want me to scan it lemmi know. When you get whatever you get (if that makes any sense...

Cool, is that PECOs new maxibore 50? how much and did you get it from Demon Tweeks? ;) like the loys too!

it looks like a graphical error, you know when all the polygons go wrong in a computer game when your graphics card is setup wrongly or something...

for gameplay, about 4 stars i think. BenR - its page 60 in the April 2003 edition of CCC (the 206 with 190 bhp) Mods are as follows: (Richard Longman) engine conversion including inlet manifold, throttle bodies turmpets and airbox, EFI ECU system complete £2200, 4 into 2 into 1 high torque...

I agree with paddy, no less than that. How come youre selling if you dont mind me being nosey? i seem to remember you mentioning you were getting something else, but cant remember what you said it was!

Id save up for throttle bodies personally. They really like the CUP in their August edition of CCC and gave it a 94% rating. Did anyone read about the 206 gti with 190 bhp, with throttle bodies, ecu, brakes, suspension etc it came to £4,770 or thereabouts. But without the brakes (£900) and...

Try this guy: Lional Hansen - Renault sport technologies mailto:lionel.hansen@renault.com">lionel.hansen@renault.com He was very helpful when i was asking some stuff. He may be able to point you in the right direction. I even recieved a Christmas card from him with a picture of the Super...

in the mk.1 theres a a light level adjuster next to the dash dimmer - for when youve got a full boot load of booze or dead bodies.

the CUP racers have laguna discs and very expensive pads i think they cost £120 or thereabouts....

oh dear. I think the best thing to do would be to get a large post it note and stick it on the dash saying the mileage of your car, and that its also recorded somewhere else. Also put something under your accelerator so that it cant be floored

yep empty all the fluids including washer fluid, brake fluid and not to mention engine oil. Your CUP will be literally as light as, a Cup!
