    I noticed both Renaultsports. its on at 8PM on Tuesdays nights Discovery channel. decent enough show and apparently you can win the super car he buys (kinda spoiling the fact hes obviously not going to fail!) It showed a Nissan GT-R in the opening credits so I'm wondering what hes going to...

    Possible damage

    new tyres as you don't know whats weak now and get it on a ramp... also obviously get the wheels checked when new tyres going on? that said I've seen boys take speed bumps at ridiculous speeds in 197's (never me I must add!) and never had a problem.. so much so that they've taken off and...

    Went and bought this yesterday; http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5299672.htm I've only ever seen 3D movies in the Cinema and even then I wasn't a big fan.. I stuck on the Hobbit in 3D.. and I'm seriously impressed especially as the TV is very cheap! Ok there's no smart tv...

    Don't drag race a 200T unless you have FI...

    True fox it'd be more enjoyable and I'm sure the box weighs a ton! I remember Cro saying he felt the extra weight of the two rear doors on his 5 door 182 made it handle better as there was better weight distribution so it'll be interesting to see what its like? Hopefully the guy that has the...

    Don't drag race a 200T unless you have FI...

    Fox the thing is the gearbox does make it quicker that's why it was designed I assume - Also to try and appeal more to a wider range of people obviously. Its like saying around a track the 200 would do the same laptime as the R27 if it didn't have the Revo design. Its true but its an evolution...

    Don't drag race a 200T unless you have FI...

    the thing is when they where up and running even after the launch the new Clio 4 was still pulling a good bit. 0.7s over 400 meters is a lot IMO considering the car has the claimed same bhp.. Also its worth noting that indeed the guy in the manual's launch was crap. That's the thing the new...

    Don't drag race a 200T unless you have FI...

    The thing is.. If the 200T can stop as well as the 197/200 and handles as well then it can brake just as late, corner just as hard and pull away from the older model in each corner. OK that was just a drag race but over a track? that extra torque coming out of the corners is bound to help. Plus...

    How are clio's in the snow? I'm snowed in

    from memory stud winter tyres are illegal in UK (I know they are 100% in Northern Ireland). Non studded winter tyres are legal. That said when I had the Clio I just drove around as normal with Traction control on and had zero issues. Havn't taken the 350z out but the RWD Smart fortwo is great...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

    A friend had a Hyundai Coupé TSIII. If you have anyone over 5ft that will sit in the back they _will_ hit there head on the rear window. Also the gearbox went after 11,000 miles and he was made to pay the majority of it! That said the noise it made was great, handling was OK not a patch...

    ANOTHER Centre Box Removal Question.

    The guy that did mine cut my center box out and cut two 1 inch peices of pipe and welded them on to the center box and gave it back to me so if it needed rejoined he could so it with the extra material he had added.
