I think the problem with gt5 is the fact that they designed it specifically to be used with a full seat and steering wheel, which in effect alienates a huge percentage of the people playing it. That said, i use a pad to play and dont think it is that bad, its just not what it could have been...

Ive made the decision to buy a 360 just for Forza 4. Playing Forza 3 for about 45 mins a week round at the missus' gaff just aint enough.

Thats absolute filth. Love it.

Here's one of mine since i put the different wheels on it. If im completely honest im not sure im taken with the white wheels, think black maybe the way forward. (and they're a b**ch to keep clean!) Thoughts welcome.

any updates????

that one from fast car wasnt even white when it started IIRC. e2a: there is a build thread around here somewhere...

I want that little bit of stretch, without going too crazy with it. Also, if i went to 205, i think it would start causing issues with the arches. It would also change the rolling radius, according to willthey.com.

what you said for sure. *nod*

Ok, so im thinking of getting new wheels for my chariot. Im currently running some Speedline Chrono's in white which are 16x7 ET 35 on 195/45/16 tyres, with which ive absolutely no problems with scrubbing etc. The ones i want are these...

what size are the wheels and tyres mate? It looks quality btw, exactly the sort of stance i want.

awesome video, even better cars.

Re: Could people post up there pic's and specs of their renaultsport to give me some You could try looking in the Clio Media thread section for inspiration....

that looks awesome. Was my favourite of the pics i saw from all the FCS threads. The rims are just epic.

agree with whats said, the highest mpg ive had is 45.2, which im sure would've gone higher if it had been a longer journey. I didnt get that out of a 1.2 punto i had a couple of years back, 40 if i was lucky. That was a money pit of a car, 2 head gaskets in the space of 40k. Shite.

Double post. Stoopid phone.

I could well be up for this. Will have to check my rota at work to see if I'm off on the 30th July. Aside from that, I work in Lincoln and see loads of 172/182's down carholme road and thru town. Wondered if it was anyone off here.

that looks so god damn good. I reckon i might look into getting mine professionally detailed.

the one that i saw was deffo a 172. No twin-tailpipes that i saw.

Saw an 04 plate flamer at Beaumont Cross in newark today, approx 3.45 this afternoon. Didnt see if they had a CS sticker on the window though.

just saw them earlier today. At that price im really frappin tempted.

just seen this thread... so those FK's at £460 are better value for money than the Wietec GT Hicons that are about £580 from the same site?

On the subject of 1.6's. the new fiesta ST is a 1.6 Turbo, and thats gonna have 180bhp. 195 then isnt that much of a push or out of the realms of possibility. Just look at the power produced by the VAG 1.4 twincharger lump.

Not seen an inferno around Newark but will keep my eye out. :)

Flame red is evidently for winners. ;)

What he said. It has taken me 12 years of driving, building up NCB, working on a career, so eventually i could afford to drive a decent motor. These things take time. My first car was a £260 Austin Metro that didnt even have a stereo when i got it. My insurance was £700, and that was in 1998...

ive spoke to him once at the light at Beaumont Cross in Newark. Its no.422 iirc. He told me he'd just took the engine apart becuase of a knocking sound, which turned out to be a shagged driveshaft. Seemed like a nice bloke. :)

its should sound awesome. God damn it, I luuuurrrrrve mk1's.

ive just been through every page of this thread. What an epic epic journey. Top marks for doing a lot of teh work yourself, i know i couldnt do it. Cant wait to see pics of it out and on the road.

good. was thinking of getting the ktec coilover kit, it seems a bargain for the money.
