Quick little cars.
Mate from work use to Rally his and that use to fly.
Just before he sold it, he had a 1.4xsi lump to go in to it.
Spent about £3.5k on a rebuild too produce around 145bhp.
I was behind one on the ring road by me to other day. It had a lot work done to it and was stripped...
They sure will.....
Unless I see a cheap set with good runflat tyres I doubt I'll change them.
I reckon some silver bonnet strips would look nice on it, but the Mrs isn't listening.
She was same when I went to get a pipercross panel filter for it.
Took it to do shopping last night, the shopping did quite all fit the boot and I didn't even buy any beer/cider.
I just know it'll be no good for me to take to work when I have to go on site, but i look forward to driving it when I'm allowed.
I think the Mrs will be wanting an other one when...
My mates Dad has a UK model, white, 1996, Manual Turbo which he bought himself from new and only has 38k on the clock, completed standard.
He is 65 and said he will never sell it. It's a great example.
It is great fun car to drive that is for sure.
For the mrs tooty around town all day it's fine and god fuel which is the main thing. I think it goes pretty well once going for 115bhp.
I haven't driven it myself in the dark, but I must admitt the lights aren't brilliant
Recently got a Mini Cooper 2006 as the Mrs's car the other week. I took a few rough photo's over the weekend after a quick wash.
So far it just has some repeaters. I will be painting the calipers silver, silver indicators and LED side lights, just to give it the clean look.
I...
Once you start driving on grippy surface it'll reset it's self.
It's just telling you something is wrong, as I guess the wheels have been spinning with the rear wheels aren't moving
Camskill have slowly been putting there prices up on these.
They were £81 a few months back for the Megane, now they are £105 each.
Good tyres mind.

Prada's will last 2 seconds, grippy but soft.
F1's are very good tyres. The asyrmmetric's do seem a little soft though as mine are wearing quicker than the old GSD3 F1's.
Hankook V12 or S1 Evo are than better than both and much cheaper.
They replaced it on my Mondeo last year and I have done 25k since and it's been fine and now on 123k with the original slave cylinder and flywheel.
They weren't great tbh, but I didn't care on that car.
It's worth checking car over afterwards and the missed a couple of connectors when...
Standard Drilled Discs are £265 + P&P from K-TEC and £200 from worldsapart.co.uk
Standard Pads are £95 + P&P from K-TEC or £137 for DS2500 or £75 for standard Brembo's from worldspart.co.uk.
So i'm looking at £400+ or £370 from K-TEC or £300 for standard set-up from worldspart.co.uk
Can...
Brembo HC discs are pretty cheap from GSF, wouldn't touch EBC discs.
Just get some cheaper pads is your not taking it on track. £65ish on discs and £40ish on pads isn't bad.
I'm looking at £300 on the megane for a basic set-up.
Is it a standard Lux 225?
I think a couple may have reported of a snapped front spring on the early phase 1 Lux's, but only a couple though.
Mine is on 46k, 06 Plate and haven't had any problems, but it does have the Cup Chassis.
Best to stick a post on Meganesport.net
The mondeo would of been a contender last year, 250 miles a day and driving about a mile on a building site meant it was plastered.
I had wash all the lights and number plates twice a day it was that bad.
So you weren't driving then?
I did think that it didn't sound like TB's and I thought I could heard a dump valve.
Looked quite a handfull when it got it's power down.
Pretty much standard:- RS-Tuning, Stage 1 remap and itg panel filter.
What sort of power is your valver producing?
