was picking up my sister tonight from her mates, she stays in a farm! very bumpy road and think i might have caught the ground, was pulling out the junction onto the road when i got a loud clunk, gearstick moved a good bit and exhaust got much louder.
crawled home and checked it at home, on...
nothing grips like a set of Yokohama A539s, thats my next tyres after having a shot of a mates clio with them.
Eagle F1s are apparently good, getting a set from evil john hopefully tomorrow when i buy his old dynamique wheels with them fitted. seemed fine on gibsons 172, he always uses them...
turbochargers run off the exhaust so you get lag waiting on the turbo spooling up but a supercharger runs off the engine via a belt so theres no lag waiting on it spinning up
thats a MK2, MK3 is the newest shape one (197 shape)
it can be done with enough money but not really worth it, better selling the clio, buying a civic/integra then supercharging it, even at that its still going to cost a fukin bomb and thats BEFORE insurance!
ive got 2 14" steel wheels on the front of my car the now because i cant afford 2 new tyres yet on my 15s and it feels really spongey!
the apex kit is solid, mine doesnt budge so i dont know what i could be, the tyres are hte only thing i can think of. get some 15"s with 195/50 tyres on them
you dont use a panel filter with an induction kit.
the panel filter goes in your standard airbox, the induction kit replaces the airbox and standard filter.
be aware tho that no matter how many cold air feeds you have, the induction kit will suck in hot air and will lose performance, you...
R5 wheels are a nice touch because of the engine but personally id get some new wheels from a performance point of view, some lightweight 15" wheels (Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2s or OZ F1 Cups maby) with some good tyres like Goodyear eagle F1s or Yokohama A539s to give it plenty grip in the...
Getting a PC (with the transformer, plug etc) for christmas but need to buy the actually materials myself.
now i dont mind spending £150+ if needed on car cleaning stuff, if thats whats needed. been having a look on car wash n wax but not completely set on what i want/need.
could someone put...
your engine has a plastic inlet manifold which will blow apart if you run any decent amount of boost, best bet is to get a new 1 made up, loads of people have looked into turbo'ing a 1.2 inc mylself but its just not worth it, i wanted to do it not for performance but just to be different but for...
the proper way? i dont see whats not proper about buying and insuring a car ive wanted since it was released, i dont work long hard shifts to save my money up and not spend it ;)
going to get another years ncb and then think about it again
coz ive already got a mint 1.2 16v, dont want it to look like a 172/182 coz its not, im not wanting to pay £3k a year insurance for a good looking car lol i need somethin thats got power lol
you got any NCB mate ^
to be honest dont really mind paying £3,000+ a year if thats what it takes. working full time now and looking for a new car and seen a a racing blue with the stripes that i like lol
anyone here 18 with a 172/182? sure i remember subway being 18 with a cup?
if so what you paying for insurance in your own name? any ncb etc etc.
cheers
yeah if you look at cups they do seem to sit higher than normal(or so it looks anyway), i thought it was just the different wheels giving this look tho! couldnt work out what it was, think people get confused with the 182 cup which has the cup pack suspension which is 3mm lower but in reality...
