    Love these, the noise from them is immense at full chat. I remember seeing the model before this one crashing at Knockhiil…make sure he doesn't go chasing GT3 RS' :bye2:

    Pirelli P Zero Nero

    These are standard fit on the wife's Abarth 500 (non SS wheels) and I hated them, like others have said the wet grip is terrible. The 500 doesn't help matters though as it has quite an aggressive torque spike low down the revs. Id look at getting them changed over to be honest. What budget...

    Brain Teaser

    Regardless of the power of the jet engine if the wheel bearings can keep up with the rotation on a 'treadmill' it'll sit still/stay in the one position. It needs airflow over/under the wing to create liftoff

    Brain Teaser

    Im rather drunk and I without google I think NO it won't move. With the conveyor belt turning at the wheel speed the plane should stay stationary as it can't move forward to generate lift ??? like an F1 car on a dyno without a wind tunnel it'll still produce its amazing power etc but won't...

    What made you buy Renault ??

    I remember seeing the Trophy and BMW M6 on the front cover of Evo Magazine and reading in awe of how a little hatch back could be such a giant killer. But what made me buy my first 197 was when I came out the bank and seen one parked up in Racing Blue (it was the dealers demo as it was 2006...

    Where did all the great cars go.....

    For me theres the E60 M5 (though i wouldn't fancy owning one without a warranty), the TTRS, the C63 and I think the E90 M3 saloon is going to become very desirable as they're rather rare. RS Fords are always going to have a massive following too, the more I see them nowadays the more dated the...

    Erratic idle after remap

    It sounds like the 'cold start map' to heat the CAT etc. for emissions, the standard car does it too on initial start up.

    #under8!

    Love the new .R but why is it only available in such bland colours (apart from Liquid Yellow but even that isnt exclusive). Surely for the what the car is and the £ they're asking there should be exclusive colours, seems Racing Blue is a thing of the past for RenaultSport :(

    'R clip' for actuator rod

    Good stuff, 'ryan197' on RSMegane has suggested R Clips from Halfords 'HFX369 is a selection of r clips, £2.09' I dont know if they'll cope with the heat or not though. At £2.09 I'll give them a bash if I need to.

    'R clip' for actuator rod

    I've also got this in the Wanted section but if Mod's could please keep it here as I've a better chance of finding one from the FI guys :) My R cilp decided it'd work itself loose and disappear at Knockhill last night so my actuator now has nothing to stop it jumping off/disconnecting itself...
