doesnt look like the car in the pics has been lowered at all?
Mine is 35mm drop and the back arches are about 2 cm lower than the wheel! (lower than a mates 60mm drop btw, hehehehehe)
I have seen a valver in the Newcastle area with the afterburner kit and it looks the muts nuts. He said he waited about 2 months for them as they hadnt realeased them when he enquired, but that was last year so dunno about wait times now.
As most would guess I like the lexus route but only...
if you didnt change into the other lane the other driver acted too harshly probably looking for a claim. Argue it with insurance company. Did the other driver have a witness? Are there ANY witnesses, worst thing if not is 50-50 claim.
I know people should be good samaritans and say "yes it...
wait until you are married mate, or more to the point when you are arranging/waiting to get married! man Im stressed, is this all worth the worry/stress? (12 days and counting!)
Car is cool though, poor bugger has taken alot of my frustration lately!
Coppers are like all other people, they have good and bad days. Best one was getting pulled whilst pissed as a fart in a mates car. yes I was on the Right Hand Side of the car in the front seat, I didnt protest when he breahalised me, or when he nearly garroted me when he pulled me out of the...
The priest of a small Irish village was very fond of the chickens he kept, in the hen house out the back of the parish manse. He had a c**k rooster and about ten hens.
One saturday night the c**k rooster went missing, believed stolen, so hed decided to do something about it at church the next...
I know the dealer in Sunderland said if u want to pay for it we WILL do it. That was when I asked about some non Clio colours for mine (but he came back with a price of 3K for a FULL RESPRAY (ie everywhere the same colour) so I said" erm, think Ill tke the Sunflower yellow one please" (and shyly...
a mate of mine had a surbo and he said the only way to tell it was there and to "feel" anything was to momentarily back off at about 3k and it would create the vortex effect and it DID work. However, it was bloody hard to make it do it and the gain was lost in the backing off, so back it went...
Fiesta Zetec is a horrible car! I had a brand new 1.4 zetec on Monday as a hire car. STUPIDLY high amounts of road noise, a lack lustre driving sensation and bog all power, Clio is the better buy
People could do with watching this, nearly made me cry:

with laughter!
you can buy the kit from http://www.autotintdesign.comwww.autotintdesign.com in leeds, they do a lower level front bumper which drops the price quite a bit. this link might and might not work but here goes...
UK dealers should be given a life line from renault and the UK price should be chopped by a few grand, problem solved, surely if the price difference was lower Renault would make more money as people would be more likely to buy the UK car fro maybe £1500 more than the "import", still think its...
I tried to order the sill plates from Renault the other day as I kinda a Billabong clothing freak, but, NO YOU CANT HAVE THEM YET! apparently you cant order any parts for them yet, what a bummer, wanted the sill plates and the interior door handles :(
Buy the best one you can afford as the cheapo ones are really annoying the way they detect everything and nothing! I bought a cheapy, and while it detects laser and gatso very well it also detects EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD!!!:@ I personally want a Bell 550 Euro cos I saw one in action and...
Its life mate, suppose we should get used to. We aint allowed to hit back (well if you listen to 172man we aint). Ever wondered why people are starting to take matters into their own hands.
And b4 people start to complain about violence and all that crap, wait until you are faced with the...
last time I gave chase I ended up being the one getting pulled, the copper didnt even chase the other guy, and I was on the phone to them at the time!!!!! Copper was ok though once I proved I was on the phone to them (still had the cheek to say I should have been hads free!)
If u have the...
Got to say it takes a very brave rider to mess with a car on anything remotely twisty, but if the rider is good then you dont stand a chance. got a vid in the house of the lad from work going from 100-150 in no time at all, scary really to think for 6K you can have such imense speed.
Good one...
My old Micra Super S was a damn site quicker and better handling than my Clio, but not as comfortable, well specd and cheap to run. Never underestimate a Micra, one of the lads up here is putting either a 1.8 turbo (Bluebird ZX) lump in his, or if he can source the parts, a Pulsar 2ltr turbo...
how bad wouldl it be beating that 172 a like and finding out later it was just a 1.2 8v! Still, wish I could afford the wings, bumpers, interior for my 1.2 16v :(.
BTW 172 imho wins every time due to the creature comforts, fit a filter and zorst and you are the same speed as a Cup?
the only 3 spokes that look good are Advan Racing wheels found on Jap motors. Go for 17s, look good, handling IS better i have found. Super Leggeras would look good, but then again, Im biased
Being a pathetically obsessed Billabong Clothes fanatic I went to have a look at the new Billabong Clio today at my local dealers. £10,985!!!!!!!!! what the feck! Fair enough it had a tilt and slide sunroof, climate control and was the DCi one but I can get a 172 for that money with a few miles...
