sod that, the guy cant drive. any rear drive/mid engined car thats short will obviously be twitchy, i can actually hodl my car in a drift for a few seconds now, and it jsut gildes back into position. you just gotta get to know how it handles.

lol, how the hell did you ride them all at once? ;) nice mate, im getting an R1 in a few weeks now the weather is getting better.

you seen the othe Qs? 6 people asking to swap when ihe has said he doesnt need a car. are they that thick?

ooh a v6 jumble sale, id love to hear what goodies he has. id buy some spare parts just to carress them at night in my living room. :D ooh i just remembered i need the plastic boot thing. where can i get hold of this guy?

gearbox oil again? mine did this 3 times. i dont think renault mechanics actually know to how to seat the gaiters. after the 4th attempt they got it right!

jesus john, 52k miles? is it still going strong?

stu - april is too risky for rain, so i dont want to go then. personally, im happy to wait till july, so the weather is fine, but ill also go with the majority.

mitch - yeah mk2s the slowest cos they have no balls! us mk1 drivers will ave it !! ;)

ooh stu - lots of fast straights, seperate the men from the boys huh? :D

benR - how much for new front pads for you to supply and fit?

im up for this. is croft a circuit or an airfield? ive not heard of it before, i dont want to run on an airfield, gotta be a proper track. stu - if we are short, i have loads of people up for a track day, if we dont mind a non-renault just to get the numbers up.

i wsa looking forward to this event too. :(

my mk1 has this feature. the gauge is on the bottom of the fat red line, and the computer shows 60 ish miles. ive only pushed it once cos i couldnt find a station, and the computer went down to 9 miles! the light was on obviously, but i was impressed. do the Vees have a fuel filter or is...

well whatever you put in, it will only give you 250 miles max to a full tank, unless you cruise the motorway all day at 60mph.

this is such a good bit of advice, espacially for the V6.

i have no weird smells, except the smell of heat. opening the windows makes the cabin hotter, the heat rises to escape covering you in a sudden heat wave. ive run with just the black covering too, and that is alot quieter, you can hear the radio too, also keep the heat at bay.

all my covering is off right now- in the 9 months that i have owned my v6 the cover has been off for 3. the sound is deafening but i love it - it really is race car feel. only down side is the heat in traffic, the AC has to be switched on.

off topic - but why the hell is the front bumper on the mk1 priced at £850, and the mk2 one so cheap? soooo if a mk1 had a front end then we might aswell all pay the extra and fit the mk2 front end?! mitch - i bet you feel gutted mate, sorry to hear the bad news.

mike - what polish did you use on that? looking good!

get the mk2 ones mate, they look good and fit straight on.

everyone wants their car to be worth more, its normal. id like to think my 51 reg V6 with bugger all mileage is worth £15k, but in all honesty it isnt. so therefore, id not bother selling it, unless i was offered 15k.

who knows what will happen. id like to think it will go the same way as the escort cossie, in that prices will hold at a certain value, atleast for a while. never mind that, if you want one get one, whatever model you go for you WILL love it more than any other car youve owned, amazing cars!

theres quite a few 52 reg mk1s, also an 04 reg mk1 floating about.

go get it mate, it sounds like your impressed already. mine has none of the wear you mention inside, so perhaps a one off? the gearbox clunkiness is the notchy sound as you change gear, its a really tight gearbox, no slack at all on the gear lever - i like that. also my brakes work...

i agree with that too. however, there is no way on this earth that the insurance company are going to pay the £195 if it gets nicked, they will tell you where to go.

if he doest buy it for that money, someone else will and youll probably not get another chance. i know someone thatll buy it today!

why do main dealers insist on ripping us off. i paid £165 for my first service, and it was only and oil and filter change. i did it for the stamp and warranty, and then found out that they ised the wrong oil so had to do an oil change myself.

ooh that is sh*te news. i paid £195 for a lifetime tracker, surely everyone got this? sod paying a yearly fee, that gets expensive.

sod that sub-standard handling. people with small balls think they dont handle. my pal in leeds has a pulsar GTiR and we were racing round on sunday through the yorkshire lanes, ( but we were not road racing and did not go over any speed limits ) he could not get me off his tail, except...

oh and mike - did you watch him diag your car? need to know where the diag socket is, i have diags equipment at work so would be useful to know
