It's turning up tomorrow so will see if I can find anything in the book. It's a 58 plate on 135k so should have had a couple by now.
Not that bothered for £300 mind, but worth thinking about in case it's ok.
Hmmm, might ask the garage down the road how much they'd charge. Will see if I can find any evidence in the paperwork when the car turns up tomorrow first though.
I suppose it's good that it's easy, but that doesn't tell me how much I would be charged to do it :ROFLMAO: I'm sure I could do it myself, but not sure I really have the inclination.
I suppose I might need it if I can't be bothered to do the belt on this one :LOL:
Anyone got any experience with this?
I'm about to pick up a very cheap 58 plate Twingo GT with the little turbo engine. It might need a timing belt. Any idea on what sort of money it would be to have this done? The belt kit is only about £60 from ECP with their endless discount codes, but I...
100% this. Reliability and tuning potential are miles away from character. The K20 is undoubtedly a "better" engine, but character often comes from flaws.
I quite like the FN2, and they do seem pretty good value. Not sure I'd have one over a Clio though and, for an every day car, something...
Lovely looking car - shame about the shonky workmanship underneath it all! True with so many restorations sadly. Nice to see it being put right though!
Great that it's home and running. Hopefully you can do some light tinkering and, more importantly, just enjoy driving it after everything you've been through. Must have been quite a feeling to drive it again!
You've basically got too choices:
Once you have the body kit fitted, you can measure how much wider you need the track to be and fit ridiculously low offset wheels or massive spacers. If you can get the width right like that, it will give you the look, but the car won't drive very well.
The...
Couple of spots today. Can't remember the last time I saw an E46 M3 in the wild. I actually saw this one twice today. Middle aged bloke, covered in tattoos, built like a brick s**t house. Was driving it like a total helmet.
I hate to break it to the fat tub of lard, but he only has one supercar, and some would even argue that a GT3 RS is still a sports car like the other two.
A hog roast meant for 200 to feed 60 tells you everything you need to know about his physique :ROFLMAO:
It was fascinating looking around his cars. Quite a few of them had a few marks on them. It's nice to see that really, as it shows he isn't afraid to use them. So much of the stuff there clearly never gets driven, so it's nice to see someone that uses them for what they were intended - though...
Went to this yesterday with a friend who got some tickets through Alpine UK. Was quite enjoyable, even though I'm not a massive supercar/classic car addict. Lots and lots of very nice cars, and lots of very rich old men :ROFLMAO:
Harry Metcalfe of Evo fame had loads of cars and bikes there...
Yeah things like that are very much down to personal taste. I'm not a big fan of putting aero bits on Clios, as the benefits are usually pretty negligible (if there are any!) and I just like the simple looks when the body is pretty much standard.
You've done a great job with it though, it looks...
I must say, I'm not totally sold on the splitter or the cut down rear bumper but, overall, it looks absolutely epic. Such a top notch billed - you must be thrilled with it!
