Cold air is more dense than warm air, so there's more oxygen and you can burn more fuel, hence more power. If warm air was the way forwards, why do cars like Scooby's and Evo's have intercoolers to cool the air right down before it reaches the engine? I'm no expert...I'm sure someone will be...

It's not all about 0.1s, why can't you get that? It's the feel, the feedback, the absolute instant response to your steering and throttle inputs, the car moving about beneath you, telling you what's going on, egging you on, the noise, the harsh ride, and the fact that you can just play with...

My Cup stirs my soul so much I want to buy 2 more of them :D

They're so cheap from Renault that you may as well stick with that if you've had no problems and managed to get 34K miles out of them.

I'd say they're worth that ^^^

Standard Renault are fine for road use...have you ever had any problems with them since new?

Ask me again in a week or two. So far I think they're worth what I paid...not worth full price though.

There's nearly always someone selling some on here...I paid £250 for a full set of 4 IIRC.

Had a set of PE2's fitted since last Friday, had a few good runs on them so far, gradually getting a feel for them. Just been out for a lunchtime thrash, really leaned on them. Pulled up outside our warehouse and the lads are all outside smoking. "I thought you could drive Mark?" "Eh?"...

There's no difference in power between 172's and 182's, they all bang out about 145bhp at the wheels as standard. With a budget of £10K, you could buy a 182, and watch it depreciate £4K over the next 2 years. Or you could spend £6-7K on a well looked after late model 172, and watch it...

Not as clear cut as that IMO. It's all down to the driver - the V6 is a very capable machine - have you ever followed Jeremy Townsend round a track in his? No 225 would get past him. Put him in a 225, and no V6 would get past him.

My take on this (and it's mostly been said above) is; To get more power you need to burn more fuel. To burn more fuel you need more air (hence why so many people go for induction kits to let the engine breathe more freely). Without getting into all the engine intracacies, there are basically...

You have been. Renault dealership?

lmao

Yep £55 from yozza IIRC

Brembo HC's for the front Roy, nothing beats them for the price.

Just had mine done with OE Renault parts, mainly down to the wheel bearings starting to grumble...pricey!!!

I've run stock rear brakes for 70K miles now, and I've still got 50% of the original factory fitted pads still to go. This is after regular trackdays and some very punishing work. The backs do fook all, don't spend a penny on them. I prefer Pagid Blues over the Ferodo DS2500, I had some quite...

Looks dodgy as f*** to me too.

Every one I've seen looks like it needs dusting. The paint's good, but they look kinda dirty from a distance no matter how clean they are.

Freds welds verge on being sexual.

His ^^^

I rate these hugely, I use mine daily to help with a slight lower back pain/problem (helps keep your seating posture correct), and on track it's superb. As Day says above, with a little fiddling you can really keep yourself pinned in the seat. I too was worried about the seat-belt...

Re: Sooooo f**king angry with mytyres.com If that's your approach to purchasing the four most important bits of rubber in your life that are the only thing keeping you out of a ditch every time you drive, you are probably better off without the 182.

LMAO - that's exactly what he said...wasn't it?

Where is that video Ian? I missed that episode...

How does a diffuser work then? I thought it was because it smooths and speeds up the airflow exit under the car at the back, which in turn reduces lift? So it reduces "drag" and "lift"?

Get Pagid Blue's Chris. Work great from cold, and on track no amount of abuse would kill them off...in my hands anyway.

Good idea that Day.

On the high-res ones, if you zoom in you can see the fear in Malice's eyes LOL...he had to hang on for that run.
