Ive had 2 sets of fronts just from everyday (enthusiastic) driving. The first set i got were Bridgestone Potenza S0-3s for £138 including fitting and a towing adjustment as mine was way out. They didnt last very long, but better than the Michelins which ran out after 6000 miles. I have just...

Mines magnetic, but its really light and its a Y-reg. Can people with the mk.2 172s please look in their hand books and see what their cars weigh? it seems that the mk.2 172s weigh 75kg more than the mk.1s. I wonder if i could get the thinner glass and get the sound deadening removed etc etc...

RPM - i aggree with you. The hand book that i got with my car (manual) says the weight of it is 1035 kg. I have heard that the mk.2 is 1110 kg due to the fancy lights, climate control (?) different interior, bigger wheels, lights washer jets with launching balls, general higher-grade interior...

Just buy a fast car in the first place..... I bought a car for £11,400 with a full warranty, reasonable insurance etc etc and it was fast as standard. Why buy a slow car and try and make it as fast as something that will have cost a little bit more, but would be standard and probably have...

Hey BenS - yeah, just thrash it. I kinda took it easy for 650 miles, but once theyd past i thrashed it big time. All the way to the rev limiter. Ill sell the car before it goes bang. It has a warranty that i am always using, no questions asked! cool!

Yeah, i know how you feel. Its even worse when they think they know more about cars than you: for example i was talking to some guy who was insistant that the 205 XS had a 1.4 16 valve injection engine as standard. I felt so uncomfortable knowing it was an 8 valve carb and then i felt like a...

Roamer - the only thing the guy did when he fitted it was to un plug the old one and insert the new one where the old one was. Its quite a simple job - the only fiddly bit was removing and refitting the airbox! (to get to the ecu case bolts at the side). Im not sure about the immobiliser...

Sure! Il fit it for £300! surely itd be cheaper to fit it yourself tho. ;) Its just im a student and need the money, badly! I just want to get as much back as i can. Its expensive enough having to insure the clio let alone modding it! my savings are quickly running out.....

"same with me. Im sure it cant be psychological, i keep telling myself that http://www.cliosport As for the cost of the ecu, its £275 and the guy said it should make the car more responsive and give it some more top end. Probably just make my car less economical. Ill see how it goes on monday...

From experience, Corsas handle like bananas. 150 bhp? i guess its down to how it puts it to the road. With that huge ecotec boat engine hanging over the front wheels dont expect it to handle at all. If he wanted a quarter mile monster, why didnt he just buy a drag car? smileys/smiley1">

Yep, it certainly was a real one (N-reg), i could hear the dump valve - and i know no XR3i that can keep up with me! ;) All over his rear end flat out, keeping up pretty even. He moved over, slowed a little, then he tagged behind me, we both went for it again, a car moved in front of me, we...

I dont want my group N ecu anymore :( Ive taken it out today and replaced it with the original one. This is the code on the Group N ecu S110130258 A and this is the code on a standard ecu S110130240 B The difference it made to my car was good - in that the throttle response was much...

its bloody annoying, especially when parking, everyone looks at you as if to say: " you cant drive, loser! " , but it is handy for off the lights launches!
