    Opinions on these laptops ?

    for what your needing it for ebay IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and £200-£250 in your pocket. awesome build quality, one of the best keyboards you will find. Core2Duo still more than up to the job, can upgrade it to 8gb of ram cheap if you needed however your budget would also stretch to a newer...

    Superchips for 200

    they were doing a very cheap deal on their bluefin for the clio 200 and a youtube video claiming a decent gain but i done a bit of research and found people loosing power think it was on clio200.net so i didnt bother. id go henk @ fastchip if you are looking for something easy to do

    Clio 1.5 dCi mods

    mk3 injectors are much better they use a bosch fuel system rather than delphi that the mk2 use. if i had a 65 id just stick a map on it for 90bhp or sell it on and buy a 100, its really not worth spending all the cash buying 80/100 injectors (they are the same), having them coded, intercooler...

    Nokia Windows Phone

    ive had a quick play with the one i got my mrs for xmas before wrapping it up! quite impressed, very smooth gui, web browser seems good, on screen keyboard is probably the best ive used. and in typical nokia style very well built and solid feeling, although for some reason the camera button...

    Car insurance expensive?

    RS Tuner - Pros & Cons ?

    only "disadvantage" if you consider it one is having to run 98ron fuel, but ive always done that, mapped or not anyway and yep you can change maps 10x a day if you want! im using the same system on my twingo to switch between standard and stage 1 maps

    RS Tuner - Pros & Cons ?

    then use a cold start fix map designed for 95ron fuel, as chip said, running 95 ron fuel on your car and using part throttle etc will be fine, thats what you have to do in the case you cant get 98ron, but driving it quick with 95 ron fuel in it when running a 98 ron fuel map isnt good at all...

    Kangoo 6 speed box

    the 197/200 box will physically fit in your bay, unlike the clio2/twingo but wont bolt straight on, not sure how viable it is to make up an adaptor plate to join the 2 of them together

    RS Tuner - Pros & Cons ?

    why would you go to the expense of having your car remapped to run on 98 ron fuel then run it on standard 95??? thats like changing your ditch finder tyres for R888's and saying you dont think they do much at all because it doesnt feel any different on your 0.5 mile 30mph drive to work...

    New Clio and Renault wind

    elia wind looks awesome lol!!.. The wind wasnt like the twingo where they ran different suspension setups for the GT 1.2tce and the renaultsport 1.6 16v 133, the wind all runs the Twingo RS suspension setup regardless of engine, which means the 1.2 TCE handles the same, both are ment to be a...

    Cheapest place to buys ap coilovers?

    £100 more expensive than the FK's though! ive never heard of anyone running them on clios, from looking about on here anyway, on the other hand loads are and have ran FK's with good results. Remember the video of Fred's 1.2 16v lapping a track quicker than a standard 182 when he was running FK's!

    Clio GT 128, Opinions?

    diesel or dont bother, i had a GT DCi106, best car i owned, loved it! sold it for the worst car i ever owned, silly mistake. however ive got a hard on for GT TCE twingos now, what a riot, id have blown many of these up if we had them when i was 17!!

    182 manifold and de-cat to 172 cup

    its a pain to fit but worth every bit of effort imo, best mod i ever done. drop subframe, undo steering collum pinch bolt, remove manifold lying on floor cursing and swearing, realise after all the swearing that the 182 manifold is even bigger! sqeeze it back in, refit it all back together and...

    Cheapest place to buys ap coilovers?

    not sure how much the AP's are but Venom Motorsport are doing FK's for £360 at the moment, that would be my bet if i was looking for cheap coilovers

    bargain spotted 10hp gain. i trust k-tec

    i paid £130 quid less than that and gained 8bhp more on my 1.1 twingo :p if it was my car id go down the ph1 airbox route with an RS Tuner map.

    Ultimate epic Clio track spec?

    depends if you want a track car to eventually compete in or just a track car for fun. competeing wise im not sure as its not something ive looked into, track wise though id go for something along the lines of... ph1 172 or 172 cup all the usual weight saving mods air con delete if required...

    Clio 200 MPG?

    agreed, they are awesome fun, and extremely capable, and to be honest the fuel consumption wasnt really an issue to me as i didnt do much miles but it was still always in my mind making me feel a bit robbed!! it was 10mpg less than what i would have got out my 172's but then again my GT DCi was...

    My DCi sport rep.....

    awesome job well done! and good idea with the black roof to hide the sunroof! need to get the little stickers for the front bumper that tuck in the grill above the reg plate, picky people notice it, it annoys me too lol!

    Clio 200 MPG?

    in the 172/182 yes but never in the 200 (and i assume 197 but never driven one), 200 was smooth and sounded brilliant high up the revs, 172/182's sounded like they were going to blow lol you could even feel it through the metal pedals! i never saw above 24mpg in my 200, most days it sat around...

    How long does it take a 182 to de-ice windows?

    run out house as quick as possible as its f**king freezing, fall, get up, get in car, heaters off, start car, hold revs at 2000rpm for 30 seconds, heaters on full blast for 30 seconds, window cleared :)

    Nokia Windows Phone

    cup 200 service book?

    they do have a service book just its integrated into the hand book now not a seperate book.

    possible 182 purchase but alarm bells ringing

    generally i use market value as a rough guide, the price i pay is what i decide its worth to me, id have no 2nd thoughts about spending 4k on an absolute mint 172 if it was low millage, full history, as close as you can get to imaculate on a 10yr old car.

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    gonna stick a set of 182 injectors on it and watching a few megane 225/230 intercoolers on ebay as they pop up cheap and the pipework isnt a problem for me to sort out, that way i can get a nice 130-140bhp with similar torque levels to what ive got the now. then its getting left at that! lol...
