    Vxr8

    I know there not that quick for a 400bhp v8. I think there 5ish secs to 60, in the real world the clio won't be far behind. I read a 1/4 mile time of about 13.5, which again isn't that quick! it's just a lot of car for the money when you look at used 200s and its got me thinking that's all

    Vxr8

    I was just looking at cars around the £12000 mark and came across these! I can't beleve how much they've dropped in price! found a couple for £13000. I did a quick insurance quote (baring in mind I'm 24) with protected ncb £1200 and with out protecting them it was £980! I was hoping it would...

    Milltek

    Having owned the miltek and the ktec pro proformance I'd say the miltek drones a lot more, the ktecs a lot more raspy! The 197 ktec exhaust comes with slash cut pipes and the milteks stick out straight

    Aftermarket car alarms

    Does anyone know how much a fairly decent car alarm would cost + fitting for my vivaro van? I'm just getting more and more paranoid about it getting broken into with all my tools in it! Any help would be great

    It will probably be the boot catch, common fault and an easy fix

    Cambelt change by a friend

    My mate said when mines next due a Cambelt next year, he'll take pics step by step on how he does it. He says theres little difference to any other Cambelt change, the main reason being there's hardly any space to work He had a brand new (at the time) 172 cup and when that was due a Cambelt...

    Would you sell your 197 for this...

    Don't forget about all the mods he's has to sell aswell! He'll make nearly double that! I'd say sell it mate! Even if he only comes away with £3500 the intrest you'll save by paying this off a say 30 year mortgage is substantial! Any one who has a mortage and has used an overpayment calculator...
