I subscribe to a financial advice/news service and got this this morning, looks like things might be changing for insurance companies :clap: How Insurance Firms Avoid Paying Out Last month the Law Commission published its tentative proposals to change the law relating to misrepresentation...

Bad luck fella, hope it's not too costly for you.

Yeah, but my tyres will last for ever so nerrrrrr :rasp:

I got these from Ruffneck at the weekend...I reckon that makes me the winner so far LOL

Spent all that money and couldn't be arsed to get a proper 172 grill :S

I had mine done two weeks ago at 69K...£1,053 eek!!! But I did have Mike do a load of other things while it was up on the ramps, new front dampers etc.

Lovely flaps.

I totally love those wheels but I could never have them as I never wash my car and they would look s***e after one week. Looks nice mate :)

That chap at renault you were talking to was talking out of his arse. It fully disengages on a 182.

:eek: F*** the car...are you OK buddy?

Which would cost an extra £5K - he's trying to save money! Try to find an unmolested one, as there are some shocking modifications out there which they really don't need. If you plan on tracking it uprated brakes may come in handy depending on your driving style. Engine mods...costs a lot...

Absolute f***ing tossers! I went to see Ruffneck earlier to pick up his wheels/tyres that I bought...nice sleepy little area. Couldn't believe it when I got on my knees to have a look underneath :mad: I can't believe people would have the front to do that.

Mine's been like that from day one on original set-up, and now I've changed things it still does it. Having another 75-80 kgs on the left side of the car seems to help it quite a bit.

Slightly sharper throttle response, and saves you £14.00 at each service...job done :)

So long as it does settle down after a few minutes/miles it's normal behaviour, don't worry about it. And, err, welcome to the forum :)

Mine from new has always been a little hesitant and jerky once started from cold for a short while...I think you'll find most others are too. I'd have thought you'd have noticed it before though...has it only started doing it recently? Is it really bad?

Amatuer ;) Go for 205's James, I'm quite impressed by the subtle differences.

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...
