  1. 190bhp and 0-60 in 8secs is it made of dark matter?
  2. how heavy is it? It looks heavy as it looks like a pseudo 4x4 type thing

    Make sure you tell your insurers your using a non standard tyre too. Bridgestone re40 or re50 is oem spec

  5. Where abouts in fifer land are you?
  6. Is it worth seam welding or will that have no effect? Ls2/7
  7. Not sure if its true but JDM's have harder dampers and smaller ARB's.
  8. Nice install. Very stealth although I would have taken the whole boot and put something more powerful in... But seriously good job .
  9. OP already owns a 182 so Im sure they know that much I'm trying to post unbiased, basically the zed will be more expensive on parts especially if you do a lot of track work, and in stock form about the same performance although it drives very differently. but the zed is a car worth trying and owning. Yes very true, a big factor is that clio's are very well catered for. On CS there is alot of traders and experts. One guy has close to 50k posts really nice guy though. People are always breaking clios too which drives the cost of spares down to. Just in case anyone is thinking of a 1*2 in the future

  11. It *SHOULD* be every 9k miles. I change mine every 5.5-6k though
  12. Neil I thought you are faster than 911s? That gt3 whupped you Just joking. Have you considered a 225 meg they are similar to the 350 in running costs or is it something about rwd or the 350 you like?
  13. I drive a 350 and a 172 on a daily basis. The clio is more exciting sometimes as you can drive it more on the edge than you car or dare in the 350. But the 350 is more rewarding to drive its like a pat on the back when you get there. The zed does feel lardy compared to the clio but it does have the torque so unlike the clio you dont have to keep changing gears and revving it (sometimes good) you can stay in 3rd or 4th and just ride the torque wave. IF you are wanting something faster than your clio I wouldnt get the 350 as its not hugely faster in real world unless your an amazing driver but the seating postion is better, it sounds awesome and its pretty cool. The 1*2's are still IMO silly quick for a hatch with awesome handling so if you increased the power of the clio by 20-30bhp (not that easy on a F4R) you would have cars that are about as fast as each other. Dont want to put you off and Im not bad mouthing the 350 before anyone starts but giving an honest unbiased opinion. One thing is you dont have to replace the gearbox mounts every 2 seconds
  14. Saw you Vik coming down the road just after the scott fyfe roundabout. About 4.50ish I think. I waved but you just drove past me (you was on the opposite side) I thought I might get a wave or a flash(of lights ) or you would have blown me a kiss as its just after valentines day but nothing. Car was looking very clean though had to double take as I havent ever spotted anyone on here
  15. Might be cheaper buying direct though as ebay take a fair chunk these days, plus listing cost money
  16. But what if the forum don't like something has done to his own car
  17. Bad boys 911 win. All your picks are awesome Stew. Does that pic that Dave posted not look like Cee-lo

    JDM tyres

    tyre fitter are *usually* the worst people to ask as they dont really know anything. A guy once said why you getting those vredisteins fitted you would be better with some fullruns or fulda's . They dont really know some are decent though and know their stuff. most just want to poo poo your tyres and want to sell your their own as fitting 4 tyres for £20 is alot of work considoring for not much money.
  19. Its not a ploy Its how you make sports cats pass emissions.

    JDM tyres

    Do they use N rated tyres? N rated tyres mean that the sidewalls are stiffer because of the engine weight and so they deform less in a corner for better handling, supposedly.
  21. You need to go for a hard drive and make sure the sports cats are proper hot.

    JDM tyres

    Gsd3 are about 1-1.5 year old. T1-S's will be about 5 year old. N ratings only count for Porsches. Which porsche do you know what a lighter rear end considering all of the engines sit on the rear axle. How you believed that?
