    lcd vs plasma... whats the best...

    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...

    Are you proud to own a RenaultSport?

    ^ 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?)

    Anyone elses 182 feel slower after custom back boxes?

    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.

    Quick exhaust question, 182!!?

    No, never owned one unfortunatly but ive driven a fair few inc a proper 205 challenge car. Most fun ive ever had driving a car!

    Quick exhaust question, 182!!?

    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.

    Possible to make a normal Clio 182 handle like a Trophy?

    Evo states that the Trophy is too stiff and slower round Bedford than a Cup :~

    Why didnt the trophy come with xenons?

    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...

    Why didnt the trophy come with xenons?

    Why didnt the trophy come with xenons?

    Blaze, The 182FF has High Intensity Discharge.

    Why didnt the trophy come with xenons?

    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...

    Why didnt the trophy come with xenons?

    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!

    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.

    Drilling into filter

    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...
