Sound posts from 7MAT and indeed look at avforums, i went for a LCD in the end (Philips 9830) due to what i wanted it for.
On pure picture quality the Pioneer 43in XDE is the screen to have, but the philips lcd is close.
Life of Plasma and LCD are similar, both can suffer screen retention...
^ As above, in normal 'what you drive' convo, id never say Clio RS, just Clio.
f1 makes no difference to the road cars, infact WRC and TC dont influence me with road cars as they arent remotely similar. Bring back hologamation (sp?)
Why do you say that, have you had them tested?
If not its perfectly feasible that a loss occurs from fitting a different exhaust :S
Infact if the design differs its almost certain that power band will alter and losses and gains may be seen.
Renault would have spent a fair wedge on testing that exhaust and you think a after-market wont affect performance, as 205 owners know, factory fit is hard to beat even tho they restrict noise.
Exhaust flow characteristics are very complicated.
Blaze, This is you only explanation;
HID use ballast packs to increase the voltage to several thousand volts, this is the 'ping' start-up people have mentioned. This then drops to a lower maintained voltage but still way above filiment halogen bulbs. HIDs legally require auto-levelers and...
Blaze, What you on about?
What is H.I.D.?
H.I.D. stands for High Intensity Discharge. It refers to lighting technology that relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb (capsule). HID lighting doesn't have a filament but instead creates light by igniting...
Notice only people who don't have HID say halogen are better, the HID are fantastic and id hate to go back to normal bulbs.
Must be the weight of the HIDs that make MarkCup faster than me on the airfield days tho, otherwise id have him LMFAO. WILL MAKE F_ALL DIFFERENCE!
Everybody did really well :S
Your times surprised me the most, so much so when i handed the timing sheets to Clarkie at the end i made a point of showing him!
And im really sad and have previous times on an excel sheet :o
I popped in about 4ish on my way back from swindon, passed a sport leaving who put his hand up, and 03 HGG with the yellow tow eye looked good on track. Was at Camp for about an hour, silver 182 parked up there too.
Better drivers car but many flaws compared to Clio, eg:
4k+ more
No Cruise
No Climate
No Xenons
Poor sparco badged (not made) seats which sag
Paint problems
ECU problems- two types, one poor cold start/idle the other mis-fire at top
Unable to buy a rear wiper from anywhere inc ford lol
Etc...
Nice driving Mark, very surprised you kept with it on the straight, i know once in thrid mine loses a couple lengths to my mates everytime. Focus is a very planted and capable car on the corners too.
GTD, i was being sarcastic lol, after the cooler on a 1.2 clio! Someone's read that about dump valves on Turbo engines i reckon.
You cant over cool, an intercooler can only achieve close to ambient at best!
iPap, the above is a VW airbox and is indeed before the filter, so the mesh is no...
