Yoko A539's due for replacement this week
Have ppl had this before? Mine sounds like a tube train above 30 and a jumbo jet on take off @ 100+
am I right?
if it was bearings, it would sound worse on cornering?
if it was drive shafts, it would be quieter if I dip clutch and...
Just bought this old banger

Aiming for the full surf-dude look in two-tone green & cream.............

This morning 8ish on A43 Kettering to Northampton (I was going onther way)
OV05: Black 182 on anthracite trophy wheels - NICE!
S888: Lightly modded Blue Cup - SUPERB
YH07: 197 in silver, but looked a bit bronze - sorry not as nice as the '56' plate Gordini Blue 197 I see every morning...
A45 Brackmills, Northampton 6pm last Thursday
YH54: COOL Blue Cup - I tooted twice, but you twice, but you ignored me :-(
V128: Grren 172/182 - only saw back - not seen green before!?
from seeing one a day:
197 on a '56' with fit blonde bird peering over steering wheel
to 4
[S888 ARM] - Gordin Blue 182 Cup
2 x Black 182 FF: [KTO4 WZA], [VUO5 SVA]
Don't see any RS on way to work , saw 3 today
Both on A43 towards Northampton @ 7.45/8.00am
Gordini Blue 182 (cup?) with S888 ARM
Black FF 182 with something like V**5 ORN
197 ('56 plate) in Gordini Blue with RS logos driven by sexy wee blonde lady - see every day, can't remember plate
after years of crashing around, I decided to stick a few PSi in the tyres
was told 30 all round by two tyre garages
BEFORE: 30ps all round (but usually 28 when i check them). Front always looked flat and banged thro potholes (big fat engine?)
AFTER: 32 F, 30 R
so, so, so much...
Rather than finding £10K for a Meg GT/RS etc. I've had a idea........
All I want is MUCH MORE performance but decent economy (50+) ?
- upgrade the brakes and suspension on the Clio (grooved/vented and coilovers)
- stick in a 1.9dci 130 (re-mapped to 150) or even a 2.0dCi...
chuffed :-)
was told that shocks wont last long on a lowered diesel..............
2nd MOT just passed - that's now 43K lowered (Apex 40mm) on original shocks, 53K total
Tester reckoned it was in superb nick
apart from oil, filter and one set of tyres, pads & front discs, not a...
I've just had by bonnet re-sprayed (something small and hard fell off a lorry - untraceable as usual - it looked like it had been hit with a pin hammer!)
Excess of £400, the cheapest of four bodyshops I tried was £368 :-(
UNTIL........I discovered a small local bodyshop!
£182, YES...
How many of you (largely dynamique owners) would love to try a Clio (Non-RenaultSport model ONLY) track day?
I reckon there's dozens of you.................?
ONLY open to ALL except Williams, Valver, 172, 182, Trophy, 197, V6 etc.
^ ^ no offense guys, a caning from you lot would be...
the roads were like ice this morning after that dry spell :-)
excellent - play time!
major league understeer, wheelspin in 3rd and I even changed lanes once on a roundabout without trying!
skideeeeeeee
£368 to respray a bonnet -WTF?
I reckon £200 max
(two tiny dents from stone - too much for paintless dent devil cos scuffed to primer)
£400 excess, so paying myself (cash)
I need a decent bodyshop in Northants, North Bucks, North Bedfordshire
REALLY REALLY BORED, so.........
How much has your car cost you per mile?

Fuel @ £4 per gall & 60mpg = £3333
Tax (four years) = £200
Insurance (four years) = £1200
Servicing (first free so only 36K) = £150
Misc (set...
After 50K, a very strong re-map (110 & 177), K&N filter, no back seats, parcel shelf or spare wheel, the D is flying!
- Pissed off a smokey old 'N' plate Imprezza by staying on his bumper car-hopping for 6 miles+
- Scalped Mini Coopers & Fiestas Zetec S (petrol)
- Bated new shape 320ds...
[RS07 MEG] and [RS07 RNO] are ONLY £399

the late 2007 GT 'might', just 'might' mean a bigger dCi like the Meggy :-)
I really really wanted to love it (and thrash it) - it looked fab in the showroom....
Showroom - superb fit and finish - more BMW than Reno of old
First Impressions on driving off - nice starter button, smooth, quite, nice seats (standard)
In town - firm but superb damping, wicked...
just had the wife's Xsara 110HDi re-mapped by Shire Tuning (Clio dCi is one car that unfortunately is not offered)
Came to my office and only took an hour
even offered 'standard' (129/230) or 'strong' (137/250) re-map
went for the latter, obviously, from 106 to 137bhp, 200 - 250 lb/ft...
