Have a look before buying Carbon, I've got a KTec carbon bonnet on my 5, its just GRP with a very thin layer of carbon over the top so its not as light as it could be. Although it is lighter than the standard bonnet. And whats the point in painting over carbon, you just going to add weight...

There are no points for number plates only a fine, i got fined 40 quid for mine, they actually removed them from the car and confiscated them at the side of the road as they said they were evidence.

Yes and Yes :)

Very Interesting, ive bookmarked it in case i need to refer back to it !

There was a discussion on our boards about recommended tuners in Scotland, if its any use, have a read...

Andy - I can point you in the direction of a good and reasonably priced web designer if you need help. :)

I agree with that as well its the people that dont drive that have no respect and take the its only a car attitude. those who have worked hard to get the car they want understand and are careful. Changing the Cds and the radio bugs the hell out of me too.

Did she apologise though, thats the important bit, we all do things then afterwards think sh1t i should have been a bit more careful. My mate opened my door into a post once, incide i was screwing but what can you do the damage is already done by then.

My sons Dad is a courier and he drives better than a lot of people i know, i think you are always going to get idiots out on the road no matter what vehicle they are in, just the bigger vehicles tend to stand out a bit more. I swerved to avoid a car that turned right in front of me coming from...

I hit a fox once in my 19 16v, just ran out from a hedge in front of me i swerved in the opposite direction it was running to avoid it but it decided to turn round and run back so i couldnt avoid hitting it, would have been better to have kept going in a straight line and just slowed down as...

Main dealers always charge loads, def worth shopping around, your book doesnt need to be stamped by a renault main dealer if you went to a specialist im sure that would be just as good. Nissan tried to charge my mum 300 quid to fit 2 cv boots on her almera, we went and got the parts for 40...

Are you insured fully comp or tpft ? If you are tpft just ring up his insurance company and ask for a claim form and claim direct off them. Youll need to get two estimates done. It will need to declare it and your premium may go up whilst it is being sorted out but it will get adjusted back...

Damn right when i am older i am still going to be driving sports cars, why not, you are only as old as you feel they say and i am 30 going on 18 at the moment and i cant see that changing for a while.

Oh and the 700 quid resprays i would strongly advise against as they dont include taking any rust patches out or any seals they literally just mask up everything and blow over the whole car. You would be looking to spend 1500 plus for a decent respray.

Prepping is the hardest part of any respray the actual painting part is easy. Depending on what you are painting with though you have to bear in mind that 2pack is very toxic and needs proper ventilation, cellulose isnt so bad and you can get away with it in a garage but it fades quicker and...

I assume CS is hosted by demontools as well, in which case you would have had the same problem as us, it was actually caused by a power failure at the data centre and the back up generators didnt kick in either which is why it was down for so long.

Insurance companies dont like FIA approved cages as i have found out with the full cage in my 5, but if you buy a cage just for show like the chrome effect ones then they arent so tough on you. I think if you are going to buy a cge though you may as well go for a proper approved one cause if...

The average is about 1500 quid for whiplash, i was paid out for whiplash when someone drove straight into the back of my cossie and i had two weeks off work, its still not right now and i suffer with a lot of back ache and take a lot of co-proxamols. As for claiming if you arent actually...

Trax weere late sending tickets out anyway, three times they told me theyd been sent when they hadnt so our members only just got theres as well.

Sorry to hear about that, worth getting it checked out as sometimes they look worse than they are and its amazing what a jig can do. With regard for the offence you can only be tried for the highest offence i.e they will charge you with driving without due care and attention, which carries 6-9...

usually the track day organiser will be able to offer insurance for you if you want it.

I enjoyed the weekend, went up saturday night and got b&b and a takeaway, anyone camping, you were brave and fair play to you. Was amazed when they let everyone still run in the rain, bet that was interesting !! Good to meet you at last Nick, see you at Trax.

Where did you get the 11secs ?

Dont forget as well on a normal RWYB day you are not racing against each other, the lights go green but the time doesnt actually start counting till you leave the line so dont worry too much about getting off hte line quicker than your opposition go when you are ready.

I hate road tax, bout time they fixed the roads, i always feel hard done by as i have more than one car and 3 of them are in the higher bracket but i only ever have one on a public road at any time the rest are off road on my own private property.

Yeah my local scrappy is free if you take the car to them, ive dumped a few on them over the years, you might want to ring them first and check before taking it down there. If you want it picked up just ask them who collects for them theyll probably give you a mobile no of someone with a hiab...

I hate speed cameras and speed traps they are purely for revenue not to make the roads safer :@

Yeah Mal was. The GTT on acceleration is quicker on acceleration that little bolt on thing called a turbo has that effect and imo makes it more fun, the clio is quicker top end and will probably sit more comfortably on the motorway than a 5 does and yes i have had both and a 19 16v as well.

£275 :o Id expect them to be gold plated for that. Realistically bout a oner depending on condition. Ropey sets will go for 30-50 quid.

I did my CBT on a CG125 and fell off it lol !!!!! Bikes are awesome, amazing power for what they cost. Few mates have had nasty accidents on Bikes but only about the same amount that have had bad accidents in cars.
