What Rich said  :happy2:
This is WIN by the bucket load!  :love:

 :happy2:

The red wheels look ace!  :congrats:

cheers, the mother and girlfriend prefer these red wheels to the ones on my golf, they say it looks like it should have read wheels on this one.  :happy2:

Those wheels look superb :congrats: I've got a set of Pirelli compound slicks like these for track days and I think they're great (although good luck in the wet :driver:). I got mine in a medium compound and they do get very sticky once hot and hence wear a bit, maybe I shoulda got a hard compound? Do you know what yours are? Whatever you do that thing is gonna fly around a circuit!

cheers, yeah i wouldnt look forward to using them in the wet, i am not sure what compound they are tbh and not sure how id find out, i'll have a look at the tyres and see if they give me any notifications

I think I saw your old gti this morning  on my way into wakey  :happy2:

i hope not, it went to stockport, i keep checking the spotted section to see if anyones seen it

I really need to get this on track to appreciate it fully
+100

indeed, early on in the year i'll do my first one, when were gaurenteed a little better weather and hopefully a ring trip too

its classed as an engine mount, but its more like a top stabaliser for the main engine mount on the drivers side of the engine bay

 :surprised: Sheeeeet'.

Sorry to hear fella. Relatively costly to replace? Hope not.
My Clio has it's issues, for sure. Comes as part of the practice, but 13k miles. Hmm...  :sad1:

Wouldn't expect anything like that for a car with only 13k on it! Lovely looking motor though!

fairly cheap to fix to be honest part is around £65 and labour will be £22.50 at rs tuning

could be alot worse but not something i thought would got at such low mileage, im goin to speak to renault first i think, see what they have to say on the matter tomorrow
