Got the belts and tensioners (and a service for £550) and he done it in 10 hours lol

I wouldnt bother with it atall, you cut someone up or give them the finger or whatever they will remember your car. I always think it makes your car a target

Powdercoating on the rims, inexpensive and transforms the look, bit of calliper action aswell perhaps?

Nasty. I like it :o lol

Agreed, it seems that bluefins and what not take diesel and petrol golfs up to crazy figure's. I seen a Fabia VRS for sale and it had been chipped (and a full milltek with induc) and it was somthing like 189bhp, thats farking mental:o

IF you dont know what your doing then take it to a garage its not somthing you would wanna attempt without the know...

:o Bang on the money here... I just had tensioners,cambelt and aux done, also a service for good measure and it came in at £550 (this was a very good deal imo), from arnold clark they wanted £800 and the car for 2 days

If its pace your after then its got to be the VTS theres not many other n/a 1600cc's out there that will get near it. Dont be tempted to buy a VTR there utter pish... I had a 03' VTS and it was terrible for petrol when you gunned it, dont expect much more than 300miles to a tank :o

pffffffft... From stock there due a spanking:rasp:

Havye you got a tire on the wheel? lol

I wouldnt say its because theres discounts to be had i just think its cause supply is by far out-stripping demand and the economy cant cope, and as the fuel price rises the desire for a "hot-hatch" is lets say lessened:o

I believe you might do matey, i needed a press to get the b*****d out, a ball pein hammer just doesnt suffice...

Lovley jubble mate, any plans for her?

Re-sale value and Renault arent two words i usualy use in a sentance:o

I wouldnt say itll have uber high mileage on but then the dura-tec engines will run until the coo's come home!:o

+1

jesus christ! Werent the 182's nearly 16k new?

You can still pick up a relativley low mileage Rx 2000 model for 7.5k That and if they are kept well itll run until the cows come home:rasp:

Very good point on the VTS although same again on the insurance front, i sold my Saxo for the 172 and whilst im delighted with the 172, i still laugh when i think back to the days when people used to call it slow. Citroen claim a 0-60 of 7.5 so its anything but, it was the insurance that...

front or rear? If its rear discs you will probaly need a press to get the old bearing out... Mind and put the thrush washer on the right way now!

Id say for reliability id get the ford, solid!

You put the window down to save fuel? lol You mean lose 6% of the economy your getting with it up? Window down = Parachute effect (drag):o

Amen.:star:

They should have called the 197 the Renault Clitoriis every cun't's got one. Ph1 everytime...

I take it your talking about the Suzuki 'busa?

Id get a Civic VTi mate, there not the worst to insure and uber quick in comparison to the above, 158bhp not to be sniffed at!

Alot of good fast cars out there for 10k at the moment. If its reliability and re-sale value its definatley a toss up between a CTR and a Focus RS. The focus is probaly a tickle quicker but not much. For 10k you would be able to pick up a well cherished Focus RS (not that you wouldnt get a...

Are you willing to consider anything else thats a 1600cc or is it definatley these 2?

This noise you speak of? Does it whisper "miltek,miltek, milllltttteekkk...." when stopped at the lights? lol:o

A racoon maybe?
