quality day out - did any think the beemer sounded a bit odd?!
Nice black 197 in the car parl - warming to them now. Sweet 'Battleship grey' v6 there 2
Yeah always been a fan of the skylines - but call me old, I like a car to have a nice interior etc as well. Figured if you gonna be spending that sorta money you don't want a recycled saisho hi-fi for a dashboard lol. Hence why I will be changing the clio!
Neglected to add this car on't be garaged (at this time) - and will spend lots of its day sitting in a train station carpark - hence no Atoms, TVRs etc - they're just waiting to be keyed
I actually do quite like the saabs lol!! I'd love an RS4 avant, but seems to be only many high mileage ones around. In love with NSXs, but fear I'd suffer beats from mates for only having a 2 seater. Decisions decisions.... good thinking with the M3 CSL - definitely a different car. I worry...
Currently 182 w/ cup packs
Gotta new job, potential 40k budget - thinking of replacing 182, what should I get? Thinking maybe NSX, 911 C4, F456, Maser 3200GT, M5 E39, Clio V6, Monaro VXR.
Looking for bulletproof build quality and general sturdiness. Clio felt decidedly rattly when it hit...
I got my Clio thru Avanti Cars - saved 3k on the list price AND its a UK car, sourced thru Cambridge Renault, even put me in contact with the dealer. Good old North/Saaarff divide there. Should see the prices of their 225, scandalous!!!
Could be engine mount - mine went after 6months. Wasn't a constant sound either, went quiet at speed etc. If the Rev Limiter, if the car really makes a noise, could be it
The engine sounds pretty interesting tho -- also Megane subframes, soooo I wonder if there is the possbility of a 225 version?!
Not sure - tempted by improved build quality - and perhaps quiet relays on the wipers (ggrrrrrr) -- or I might wait for the Audi Shooting Brake. Looks so fit
bit miffed reallly - I had a huge Harmann Kardon comp amp which I let go for silly money on ebay coz I thought I wouldn't bother with ICE on this car lol doooh
I believe its 40-50w RMS, and don't forget that its Nakamichi wattage not Goodmans lol - if you get my drift.
Although after some of the problems i've had with the car recently, wondering whether to just sell it and get some Teutonic reliability machine!!
Finally think i'm going to sort out the ICE me 182.
Here goes, thinking of getting a Nakamichi headunit with 6 disc in dash changer - as I understand it the unit comes with a plug in amp module, so you either run all outputs from this, or entirely seperate amps. Its a 182, I don't want to...
Was in the stealers the other day - Renault are bringing out IPod connectors themselves, probably based on the Dension one, but with the price vastly increased lol.
don't forget gearing - my old 205 GTi 1.9 was specially geared to ensure it pipped 60 in 2nd, as standard, caught out lots of peeps with that 1 less gear change!! Oh and 205's are made from tinfoil and fairydust
RSA encryption - good luck!! Computer nerd here - remember reading about a project to break the 1st ever RSA code - took 1000 computers sync'd together!! You could always go the Saddam route and try 500 PS2's linked to run his missile control lol -- on a serious note, though, would be very...
