LOL @ Loony

Yeh the blue clio is my friend's car

A.K.A. Clio_Styling on here

He's got my stock 15's on for his MOT and his springs broke
His clio usually has 18s on but he cant fit them until the car is lowered again (rear arch rubs the wheels) - he's waiting on FK's

Mine will hopefully Have Cobra Evo 1 coilovers fitted this Friday :approve:

Jamie _Swales · Mar 22, 2006

its amazing how much better wheels can make a car look. the blue one looks shite on the 15s, but very very niceon 18s

Englebert · Mar 22, 2006

pecan · Mar 22, 2006

I also think it's amazing how fucked up a body kit can make a car look.

I totaly agree with choice of rims on cars - look at Alfa Romeos - gorgeous cars sitting on 4 wine racks :dead:

victim_of_society_15 · Mar 23, 2006

88.1 bhp @ flywheel (whatever that means :S )
139.3 lb/ft torque
127mph top speed

The car is a DCi-80 with a twin backbox and Dragon Performance T-box (www.mrhoot.com)

I'm not dissapointed with the RR but I was hoping for the bhp to be in the 90's :sleepy:

I got in touch with Dragon and told them about the results -
even the guy on the phone was dissappointed :clown: so they are taking the box back to see why it turned out so low

Ali · Mar 23, 2006

127 top speed....Away!!!!

Tigger · Mar 24, 2006

Away ???

Tyson-182 · Mar 24, 2006

Not for me, but great effort all the same. A lot of effort gone in to that!!

Tyson.

Tigger · Mar 24, 2006

thanks Tyson

SeanM86 · Mar 25, 2006

Tigger · Mar 27, 2006

Comes from a Forum USER :dead:
Obviously not a proud member of Cliosport (like both cars were representing the club at those events) -
It helps to know the members before attacking the threads like this

:clown: I'm proud of my "grocery-transport facility" thank you very much :approve:
Insurance in the North of Ireland is wild :dapprove: over £4k to insure a 182 (23 & 3 years NCB)
Nearly as bad for a 172 or a Valver :S

Honestly I'm sorry if I've come across your post as a "liitle harsh" - just returning the favour :slap:

Obviously I've had a dodgy run on the rollers

Still waiting on the suspension too - getting very impatient

The tuning box was sent back today to find out what's going on :star:

Thanks again for all the comments

Tigger · Apr 6, 2006

Ian from Dragon Performance rang me today

Said the replacement Tbox is on its way out and should "blow your socks off" :clown:

Hopefully getting lowered this weekend too

bigmaddaz · Apr 6, 2006

Tigger · Apr 7, 2006

Tigger · Apr 7, 2006

@ Naples 16v
lol dont think it was intentional parking - 206's abandoned themselves in the middle of the carpark

@ muzz
Exactly my attitude - "your car is whatever you like" :approve:
The Mk1Ph3 is a members too - he doesn't be on very often though

@S Garbet
Cobra coilovers going on - leaving them up at 30mm all-round until she beds in then take it from there
