205 - 339 IXELL black

Yeah now that I think of it you could be right.

The 'generic' versions are for non-sport models and have the radiator bracket in the wrong place (fine if you have the capability to cut it off and re-weld it in the correct position). It's also worth checking with Renault UK to see if they'll cover the replacement cost under their...

Firstly, glad your friend is OK and you didn't hit anyone else. Secondly, good that you're OK. I won't rub it in, I remember how I felt when my albi meglio was written off. Hopefully you declared all your mods and get a payout, and maybe put the dreams of an S3 on the back-burner for a few...

My old Albi with Cup racer 8j and 215 45 17:

After a quick search, 7.5 and 8j speedlines are both 10.5kg.

Not sure on the weights, I'd have to check. In terms of the 8j vs 7.5, I went for them purely for looks as obviously the 8j fill the arches a little better, and I got them in mint condition for sub £400.

For track use I agree, but mine are for road use where you'd never notice the difference between 215 and 225.

I had, and still have, 215s on my 8j cup racers with no issues whatsoever.

215 are fine and 'look' the best, I find 225s look too big. 225 are usually cheaper though.You can't go wrong with many of the major brands, Michelin Pilots, Goodyear Eagle etc. I think most would be hard-pushed to notice a difference between them on the road. I have Uniroyal Rainsport 5 on my...

Owners manual states that the engine can be started with the key card in the slot if the boot is open. I seem to remember my old albi 197 didn't do it though:think:

I think the motion ratio is around 2:1 for an inboard spring compared to a true rear coilover setup because of the way the original spring position works as a lever and with a true rear coilover the force works directly on the wheel. So, for example, @Big Ben to replicate your rear spring rate...

So, in what can only be described as a miracle, the clio flew through the MOT with no advisories. I did however have a small scare when fitting a new thermostat. Firstly I dropped my 8mm socket into the engine bay which meant jacking the car up, removing the undertray, and retrieving said...

Welcome :french:

Obviously not as powerful as a pressure washer but perfectly fine for snow foam and rinsing.

Something like this is a decent solution instead of forking out for a Karcher etc -...

Plenty of headlight restoration kits out there, shouldn't be an issue as a DIY job. In terms of the paint, get a fallout remover such as Iron X, then use a prewash, then snowfoam, then wash, then use a clay bar. Once clayed, ideally you want to get a DA polisher on it. A few beginner kits. I...

It's usually worn discs or pad build up on the discs after track days.

Jesus I thought we were bad up here at £1.45 for petrol and £1.41 for diesel.
