Nice one Mike...next time I'm passing I'll come in for a look.

Well, not really BAD, but meaner (louder) and leaner than it was before. Big thanks to Mike and Dave at Rentech Towers for sorting the wiring problem this weekend - and while it was in, I had the rest of the trim/carpet removed. Including my rubber car mats (which weighed 3kgs) the carpet...

Anyone notice the two new threads as of today in the 'Car Parts For Sale' section? My work here is done :approve: ;)

Compared to new front pads, rears look like they're half worn when they're new. As above...check them yourself, you should see approx. 5mm of pad material plus the backing plate if they're brand new...and would need replacing at say 2mm of pad material. For reference, this is what they look...

The similar bit was driving like c***s swerving and changing lanes amongst traffic - only they all died as did the truck driver they hit if I recall correctly? I'm stunned that some of you view this video as cool or impressive.

4 people, and only 11k miles. So each one only did an average of 2,750 each? Could be something wrong with it you can't see? I'd be very careful.

Aye, nowt worse.

LMAO - I saw a BMW 3 series with one on this morning, covered the full valance with cutouts for vents and headlights, only it plainly didn't fit well or was crap quality. Looked f***ing awful hanging loose.

I mean, take care of yoiur pride and joy by all means but... ...youy're concerned about stone chips (don't drive so close ;) ) and the impact they'd have on how your car looks, yet you think fitting one of those abominations long-term is a good idea. Am I too old over here?

He was driving slightly recklessly in my opinion. He plainly didn't/doesn't have the ability to drive that thing to its maximum potential. But he can obviously, without any errors at all, spell UNDERSTEER!

Your response is a joke right? It's not about them going fast. It's about them being c**ts and putting the lives of every other road user at risk. It would only have taken a single moment's indecision by someone else who saw them screaming up from behind, and there'd have been a 10 car incident.

Ask me again tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about driving it again to be honest...it's been 4 weeks since my left leg pushed a clutch pedal down, and the Omega needs armfuls of lock to get around any corner.

Got it recovered to Rentech on Saturday and got a call from Dave at Rentech late today - now fixed :approve: Broken wire somewhere - I look into the engine bay and my head hurts - Mike and Dave have forgotten more about Renaults than I'll ever know. Hats off to them. Plus, they're going to...

Revs and gear-changes make little difference in the real world to fuel consumption. Using the brakes does. Aim to avoid touching them at all costs and you'll see an extra 10% mpg (if not more) easily. It's all about smoothness, reading the road, and planning ahead.

No way!

I just realised that black debris in the first pic is a chunk off the brake disc - properly f***ed!

Ooh, ouch. What is it with GT3 RS drivers? At an Evo magazine day at Brands a while back a GT3 RS went flying into the gravel at paddock, they must have something to prove LOL.

Best I've managed is a 1:27 on Yokohama A032s...which are worth about 3 seconds a lap so 1:30 on road tyres would be bang on for me. I know where there's at least another 1 second (and maybe more depending on how brave I feel :evil: ) to be had though. This is one of my earlier...

How? With what?

Nice doors.

Not easy to mount then? Or a fairly simple fix? I'm having all remaining trim ripped out of mine this week but was going to leave the door-cards in...but it looks like I can retain the speaker and door handle easily if they do come out. Couldn't live without the windows though due to me...

I thought about giving chase in the Omega...

I can see you've still got standard door handles inside...what have you done with the electric window switches?

Nice roads - wish they were like that and as quiet down here.

Good video, that Punto had huge understeer trying to keep ahead, nicely done :approve: Semi-slick track tyres are good aren't they :evil:

No idea Martin. I was thinking this today when discussing with Mike about SORNing my car over the winter. Got to be somethiuing out there...home contents insurance? LOL

Maybe I should've wiped my hands better after my morning w***? That tiny little mark above is how mine started...it's all downhill from there.

At the ripe old age of 93,250 it's now retired and very definitely just for fun. Don't think it's happy about it though...jealous of the Omega I reckon which is why it threw this hissy-fit! Don't worry though, even without a front seat, passenger rides will still available at the Airfield *...

We (well he, I just kept the coffee and cheeseburgers coming) did actually get it going. Once. Something to do with the feed to the fuel pump relay, broken wire somewhere. Once's he's isolated it it'll just get bridged. Also, while it's there it'll have every single bit of remaining...

I think the Ph-Q front end is soooo much better/more aggressive than the Ph2. I never get anyone move over, but there's something about the Ph-Q, it's the vents below the headlights I think...it screams "GET OUT OF MY WAY!". Having said that, the Ph2s aren't too bad...
