For track days, you nedd tuition, will be far more effective than anything you could put on the car

I'd be interested in this too, mine could do with changing. Throttle cable too.

Re: WTF "appreciation" thread Correct!

Good cars, but do nothing for me looks wise. Saw one at bedford, as well as an original (E30) M3. The older car made the new one look like a boat.

True. Can't wait to spot you. Motoring down the road, bonnet open, fan attached to the front bumper. Do it:cool:

That could apply to any of the kits. TBH, pointless for any reason but noise.

I think, the ph1 doesn't have the revs ltd as harshly as the later cars. Same red line, but you can go past it. Does have longer ratios too. Get a ph2 rear end on it, standard wheels. Forget going after more power, fools game on these cars. Coilovers and some driver training will let you get...

Renault employ mcdonalds rejects.

Will not happen.

As Steve said, had to this to mine.

Horses for courses mate. Wouldn't run 888's on road this time of year, they do not like standing water. People tend to like Exalto's, F1's, T1-R's, Parada's. P-zero's are good given that they're cheaper. I prefer F1's, but tyres are a very personal choice.

Would you just stick with standard then?

I haven't got a clue mate, but I'd of been interested to see how it performs. I could never see myself spending that sort of cash on induction. Rather spend it on wheels that nearly fall off on track.

Plus skinny tyres are less prone to aquaplane.

There will always be people that get on or don't with certain tyres, but if you look at the tyre choice thread, there are plenty of people with lots of experience saying the parada's aren't great in the wet.

At least it's not a write off. Just make sure you're 100% happy with the repair (ie don't let nationwide touch it!)

Utter shite. First and last time I'll be buying it. More ads than auto-express. Awful publication. Under 100 pages, 1/3 of which are adverts.

Is the subframe damaged?

Could of sworn I just saw you in Worcester, nice recessed exhaust?

Just read this, epic waste of time. I don't understand the point tof going to the trouble of getting a forum owners car (ie better than average knowledge) and then not testing the 2 kits that people most commonly aknowledge as the 2 best kits (maxogen and bmc). Waste of £3.95.

Decent Ph1 172.

Yep, was fun though. Back on f1's now, think the Toyo's will be in the garage till spring!

Made me lol.

Been driving around for the last 4 days on R888's, now thats interesting..........

Give it a year. With the current financial insecurity, wait and you'll get an even better bargain. Get a 172 (not a cup) if insurance is a hassle, most places charge more for the cups.

We got told no squealing tyres. I like the track, hate the neighbours.

You know my thoughts brown bear, stay silver. Did you get that bolt off for the air con?

Curse of the vee.

OT, but couldn't believe how strict they have to be with the noise there. Went for a ride in an R500, but he couldn't take it over 5500rpm. Still popping and banging nicely though!:evil:

Looks good, but needs a splitter
