[imprezaworks]

You finished yours yet? Leigh will have his done before you lol

 

[marinemackay2003]

nah its on hold tbh have not got the time or money anymore, as on this course now untill december

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah fair one.

 

[SharkyUK]

Cheers, just ordered some decent shampoo and on the hunt for a rain repellent, as you do lol

Essential, mate. First things I bought actually... The rain repellent reduced my coefficient of drag as well... true story. LOL!

 

[imprezaworks]

Course it did lol. Which one did you buy?

 

[SharkyUK]

I used some Carlack stuff on the glass. Seemed to do the job well. Currently using up the last of some Meguairs Gold Class shampoo before moving onto some blue Zaino something or other.

 

[imprezaworks]

Probably going to try that rain x stuff, can get it cheap ish through work

 

[ABOO]

Probably posted already pal, but I take it you prefer Civic to 182? Whats pros and cons of each now you've owned for a while...

Civic looks perfect buddy ; )

 

[imprezaworks]

I love both and I think this forum helps people enjoy the Clio for what it is, a great little car. It was just time for a change. I won't go into the pros and cons as that's for another thread . But I don't regret getting the type r

 

[Gally]

Looks very fresh but you seriously need better pics!

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers, just getting time or remembering to have the camera with me.

 

[imprezaworks]

After having the car foe a few months ive decided to sell up and possibly come back to the fold, and yes i know i said i wouldnt lol. For anyone intersted in the car let me know. It is advertised on ctro and will be going on pistonheads some time next week as im away for a few days from Sunday. Price is £4250 and imo its a very nice car

 

[SharkyUK]

LOL! :S V-TEC run out, y0?!

EDIT: Good luck with the sale.

 

[imprezaworks]

I love the car mate, I just get bored lol. Being a Gemini I will prob change my mind, again lol. Cheers

 

[Jay.S]

Lol im a Gemini and I don't change my mind as much as you. Lol

Mind due saying that I had a cup, TT, Saxo & now doing my bike in the space of 9months.

Trophy next?

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure yet mate.

 

[Philip.]

Fancy swapping springs for standard ones?

 

[imprezaworks]

lol, will pass.

 

[Philip.]

It'll be easier to sell standard

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha, will stick the origional ones back on then

 

[Ray Gin]

Subaru.

 

[imprezaworks]

Its a possibility mate

 

[Philip.]

If you're taking the springs off dude, let me know!

 

[imprezaworks]

I thought we were joking around lol. I wont be taking them off mate, sorry

 

[imprezaworks]

No massive update. Replaced the front discs and pads with rc5+ pads and oem discs, oh and a brake stopper. Massive and I mean massive difference. One step closer to sorting the car for a trackday. Lines and fluid replacement tomo

 

[kpowell911]

Lines and fluid make a huge difference mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cool. Brilliant as they are now. Spirited drive earlier and the confidence they bring made me smile

 

[imprezaworks]

Tegiwa induction kit has arrived :evil:

 

[Philip.]

Niceeee!

 

[mr bognor]

I thought you were selling it ???????????????

 

[imprezaworks]

Decided its a keeper, for now....

 

[Reko]

A few quick questions if I may

-Whats the rpm like when going at 70mph in 6th ?
-How does the ride comfort compare to a 1*2 ?

Cheers, lovely car btw

 

[imprezaworks]

Mmm can't say I've ever really noticed the rpm in sixth mate. I'd say the equivalent to fifth in the Clio. Ride wise a bit more hard tbh, although the set up I have is better than oem

 

[Philip.]

RPM doing 70mph in 6th is about 3.25/3.5 iirc!

 

[Rob]

Seriously?

 

[Reko]

Blimey, that's higher than I expected!

 

[Philip.]

It is indeed!

It is high, but I know it's not any higher because my exhaust gets OTT loud at just under 4k. Lol.

 

[Ian_182]

Yep its basically half the speed so 70mph would be 3500rpm or so.I did worry about it being a bit loud before i bought one but the engine is pretty quiet below vtec yo...

 

[Philip.]

Aye, I was unsure whether this was correct at first too, but it copes fine, pretty smooth really!

 

[kpowell911]

Seriously?

Yea, its a nause when you have an exhaust.

I can lose the "drone" holding it at 80mph, but its loud.

Depending on your map with a Kpro, V-Tec comes in at around 4600rpm. With a Kpro + Exhaust if you're doing 80-90mph and on Vtec its loud as f**k lol.

Motorway cars they aint! lol
