Yep. That's a great help. To the OP - if your tyres are rubbing...f*** it. This guy cheated death...so can you.

I've got a nice spanking laptop here...but everyone else gets a Dell slimline desktop, with a 3.5 inch floppy, with a massive 15 inch CRT. Poor them LOL No way would I let them bring their own machine to work on - I couldn't police/audit what they're doing, what's installed etc. - too much...

Why though? You're already slowing, that's visible to them, let them make a decision based on that. If they can't assess the situation and make that decision...do you really want to be behind them, waiting for their next moment of indecision?

That sounds about right. 1,110 kgs starting point, + 91 kgs for you, -50 kgs for some mild strippage = 1,151 kgs.

It doesn't. Flashing lights is exactly the same as beeping your horn - it lets other drivers know you are there.

Nope, a home made one...

This one...a Cobra Imola 2 according to the seat cover...

Wasn't the lights that nearly caused it, it was the d***head lorry driver taking a flash of your lights as confirmation it's safe to pull out without himself considering if it was in fact safe to pull out. As above, too many people do this. I never flash for people;, I'll leave a gap, slow...

Mine is low-side and it's fine, just get the odd funny look as I haul myself in and out. Full harness is no problem either.

But he's done 50 miles so far with it this low so it's not really been properly tested yet, and is going to undertake a journey of 300 miles, all at a much higher average speed on a motorway. If there's even the slightest possibility that one of my tyres might be rubbing yet I took it on the...

Can't do a trade in...I sold mine for spares Has, after the 4th unsuccessful attempt by Origin to repair a faulty/silent speaker I'd had enough. Looking at the Pogo Alert - it seems to have exactly the same features as the b2...but with colour screen and in-built GPS antenna...is that right?

That looks nice...do you still have the Elf mirrors?

You need one of these... http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/1112083/art/sony/ht-ddwg800-home-cinema-sy.html?form=88#tech-specs

Should do, mine came on with the door opening.

I love the Lotus Cortinas - plus Evo said the 172 Cup is the modern day equivalent so that's nice. Great pics Chris, great thread.

Do any of these fancy satnavs let you just display a big speed readout/speedo, like they did on the Origin b2?

I love Inferno. Rarely get to see it though, so few of them out there.

Stunnin'.

I can't comment on a modified setup, but I've done 104k including more than a few trackdays/sprints in it, all on 3 standard sets of springs/dampers. As an all round compromise, they're pretty f***in' good :approve: Renaultsport got it spot on IMO.

I remember when sitting in a brand new one of them...felt like how sitting in a brand new Audi convertible feels today. Shocking tbph.

I like the sticker...does need a dangly eye though ^^^.

Sorry to hear this. If it helps any, Rentech are brilliant. The only ones ever to have touched my car...104k so far. If you do decide to repair, a trailor down to Portsmouth would be worthwhile.

You silly fat b*****d.

FLOL

Ooh.

I haven't got a speedo vid of my speedo, but I've got a close up of my rev counter doing a low-rev to limiter run in 3rd (3rd starts at 1:03 ish) - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xqhSYf4nBBo 3 to 7k rpm, yours takes 11 seconds, mine takes 7.5...did you have a boot full + passenger?

Mine's been serviced religiously every 6k from new, and regularly abused on track. Most of the regular Renault problems are sorted early on in their lives...I had 3 wiring looms within the first 36k, and it's been fine since all the way to 103k so far. I think there's quite a few at 100+...

Wheels need to be orange.

Craving attention is a powerful instinct, never more prevalent than among the 'car modder'. A curious breed, they subscribe to the "if it's different, it's betta" school of thought. How wrong they are...thats F***ING rank. Almost every single thing on it is different to standard...and that...

LOL at "Drivin' Magic".
