  1. what size rear box did you go with? i've gone 6", sounds awesome.
     
  2. don't know what size it is, but there's 2 of them, biggest possible. Sound on tick-over is slightly louder than standard, floor it & all hell breaks loose ! (decat on also)
    did you have the uprated mounting kit?

  4. you have the same as me then, and yes to the uprated mounts, no more broken standard shit : ), does sound good doesn't it!

    And ragged about? He's been wanting to thrash it for years. Should've seen the Lotus when that was in.
     
  11. Your Clio was stationary when i saw it.. plenty of debris on the passenger seat though..:grinning:.. saw the Astra & the Volvo he was working on too..

    Haha I had to abandon it at short notice. The Astra is a customer but the Volvo is his. Was the Supra there too?
     
  13. Fitted a couple of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres to replace the worn Pilot Sport 3s that I had on the fronts. I can't really review the improvement of the new versions yet though as once replaced, I got them to swap the new fronts for the still ok rears. Once I've destroyed the last two remaining Pilot Sport 3 tyres that are now on the fronts, I'll get them upgraded to 4s also. I really wish I had the cash for 4 cup 2 tyres but these are a much more sensible choice I suppose.

  14. Stopped my nearside numberplate light from making a bid for freedom every time I went over a bump ... ...

    Previous owner had "fixed" the metal retaining clip by totally reversing the bends so it was inclined to fall out rather than stay in. Blame myself for not checking the perfect example of the correct item on the off-side :flushed:
     
  15. Today I valeted the interior for the first time since owning for a month, fitted some renaultsport mats and some club url stickers.

  18. How? I've the same problem.
    I assumed it was coming through the window seal, dropping inside the door and dripping past the seal?

    Not sure how it's getting through the window seal though?
     
  19. Had the car remapped @ rstuning after fitting a turbo back full exhaust from cgr - happy customer 274bhp, 285lbft

  20. Thrown it up against a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

    It's a twin turbo 4.8 V8 with 490 BHP but tips the scales at well over two and a half tonnes.

    Power to weight was therefore in my favour and eventually the guy pulled over, a wee bit embarrassed I think.
     
  21. Some nice new mats!

    Going to be doing a little more colour coding from here on - retrim steering wheel and gaiters with leather and red stitching, get the metal strip red, and then maybe do something with the seats..

  23. You could have saved a lot of hassle and bought the RS175 [emoji6]
     
  24. just a little project of mine, i love tinkering with cars, plus i hit a pot hole 10 weeks ago and destroyed my front suspension so made the most of it to upgrade it,

    plus the fact that rs175 are a rare car and cannot afford to buy another car for me as we need a bigger family car with 7 seats
     
  25. Fitted one of these universal "rhino lip" type front splitters, looks much more aggressive, also fitted black diamond covers and removed megane from the bootlid, you'd never know it'd been there! Not sure whether to remove the rs badge at the rear as well atm, the more I look at it though the more I think it would look better without it.
