    Coilover Decision!

    V-Maxx are very good for fast-road. I've got them, fitted by JMS too (great lads), and they're great. A lot of good reviews on here. For a non-adjustable damping kit, they've got a great balance between comfort and handling. There's a lot of opinions about them in the group buy threads...

    K tec Exhaust keeps dropping down

    I used string to keep the mount from dropping but still allow movement. Will try and get some pics with a write up tomo.

    Miss-sold insurance, where do I stand?

    I'd cancel it mate, can't see them budging on the interest. http://saynoto0870.com/search.php has a load of freephone/normal landline numbers on there

    xenon headlight clio 172 how much from renault

    There was a link on here yesterday about them being £40 from ebay, advertised as new. No ballast pack or bulb thought, just the unit.

    Insurance, How does it sound?

    Do Flux or any of the other specialists insure under 21s? If so, try them. Most normal places, don't take nicely to mods, esp at 18. I don't think you can look at it as £1k more either. If you're currently paying £2100, I'd expect next year to be £1500-1800 standard, maybe more if you've...

    Am I getting to old for this modifying malarkey

    My 172 is the first car I've modded, only because I want to take it on track next year and hopefully keep it as a second car/track car in a few years when I buy something else. I think if I was a CS member, I probably wouldn't have modded it, but then if I was member I probably wouldn't have...

    would you paint it LY?

    Personally, I'd want to do another colour but from what you're asking, if you like LY, and you want LY, do it LY.

    Rear Exhaust Hanger

    The JMS one is very good, I've had that. But mine has now, under the weight of the stealth, become so battered that it wasn't strong enough. I bought this one http://economycarparts.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/30 and it was even worse than the one I already had on it. I assume mine was...

    172 irrational insurance?

    I think that's a decent quote mate, esp with no NCB. I'm in Berks, and mine is around £900 FC with 5yrs driving, 4yrs NCB, 1 fault accident and claim in 04, 1 non fault in 05 and an 3 points in 04. That's with Adrian Flux, all mods declared and unlimited mileage. Shop about some more, try...

    Rear Exhaust Hanger

    I think I may have overcome this issue using string tied to keep the mount in the shape designed. Had it on for a few weeks and no problems and my KTEC Stealth is perfectly hidden. Will try and get a guide up in the next couple of days if you like.

    172 irrational insurance?

    ^ As he said! Comparison sites are crap IMO. I saved £300 from the same company quoted directly compared to the quote from confused one year.

    172 irrational insurance?

    Pretty big difference. Have you tried the specialists, like Adrian Flux, Greenlight, the few on here, etc? Or the company who you're a named driver with at the moment? Any way to use named drivers NCB? Or try to arrange a discount with them to equal the 4yrs of claim free driving? Otherwise...

    172 irrational insurance?

    It might look like fronting even if it isn't as she has her own car already. I wouldn't risk it personally, but that's just my view. How much was the difference? Is that £1400 TPFT??

    182's are useless...

    RB looks even better in the snow! Loving the pics.

    Fairly new to CS, My 172 ph2.

    Nice pics mate, car looks good.

    Can you turn esp off but leave tc on?

    TC limits power when the front wheels spin, and IIRC ESP can tell if your steering input and the line the car takes don't match up and applies brakes and possibly limit power to get you back on/close to the line you intended. s**t tyres will need TC if you drive like an animal, but TBH tyres...

    New Sidelights what a difference!

    ^ what he said. No sidelights looks better IMO, but from the photo the colour looks similar to xenon so looks ok.

    drove home behind an Audi A4 with this exhaust tonight...

    Do you ever get sick of your loud exhaust?

    That yozza system would be too loud for me. Don't think I could live with that. Prefer raspier like this 7URiUB21WK4 It's not too bad when driving normally, sounds great when you put your foot down though. I'm still young and its the first "loud" exhaust I have so doesn't bother me...

    Black 172, little play on Friday night

    didn't notice they were orange, couldn't quite tell the exact colour cos i couldn't see your wheels when I pulled up next to you. and after we pulled away I was more concerned why my limiter was kicking in and why i wasn't keeping level with you lol it looked good though, sometimes wish I had a...

    Black 172, little play on Friday night

    sounded good mate, bit hard to hear over mine though. i randomly ended up there, took a wrong turn somewhere and didn't know where i was at the time, got distracted by seeing you and was only polite to have a play. least now I know you were on ITBs, wasn't happy with you pulling away even...

    Monaco badge

    It seems Renault lauched some 'Monaco' series of their cars, with higher specs. Maybe this was a badge they used. Can't seem to find it though.

    GT5

    Interesting they're saying its not a Demo and just for GT Academy. Will be good to see what GT5 will actually be like though. They're already talking about GT6 and how it won't take as long to make as it won't be completely new like GT5. I think they should just think about getting GT5 out...
