    What colour

    Silver, gold or red. Anything else makes them looks "lost" or like a ghost car. Black wheels on a black car isnt good IMO.
  2. What exhaust you got? Otherwise silenced ones might be better? Ive got "silenced" ones but its still loud
  3. Yes thats what you need. Zman might be able to do you a better deal though Door card off 1 million bolts and replace it. About 1hour to do I'd say.
  4. Keep slamming it shut and pressing the up switch until it comes back up. If you can still grab the window wiggle it about as you press the up switch.
  5. Get your crank sensor replaced first to test it. Im sure the front wheel sensor might be affecting your abs/tc and therefore causing them to come on but a serious enough fault causes that too.
  6. He already has the codes, what help is that?

  8. The dial doesn't have accurate marking so is hard to tell. Get a multimeter and put it on v. Check what the battery is running new batteries are 12.8-12.6 anything lower is considering on it's way out but should be ok till they die Then get someone to turn the car on whilst it's cranking get a voltage reading then aswell.
  9. +1 RWD is scary for most still is to me Some people won't buy a rwd car. The will alway stick to focus rs dc2/5's megs and the likes. They are eaiser to drive won't spin and have traction control. Alot of people my age still think fwd is better as it's more point and shoot and they will reject anything rwd. For the old schoolers they always had rwd and no tc or anything so they are comfortable with rwd.

    Have you tried to run non standard wheel sizes? If not your speculating where as I have tried it. It makes no difference to drive and to the traction control. If it did I wouldn't recommend the it to the OP. What questionable things are people doing to their zeds?
  11. Is the CEL still on? If so read the code
  12. Ahh, used to go there ages ago. Im at DL now. Someone drives a 350 there thought it might have been you.

    It was more the point that a set of falkens would be better than your average budget set. Personally, for the sake of 100 quid or something like that, I would buy the right tyres and a brand that performs to a decent level, its not worth your car being written off for or even your health put at risk, to save a few quid. So why buy falkens? I put them on my mum and dads car they arent all that. Personally, for the sake of 100 quid or something like that, I would buy the right tyres and a brand that performs to a decent level, its not worth your car being written off for or even your health put at risk, to save a few quid. No one was on about budget tyres though?
  14. Which gym you go to?

    +1 Buy what you want, but dont buy tyres because they are cheap. That should not be a consideration. But the 40's are cheaper for no difference in grip. Unless your running super sports and blizacks your not best person to be giving that advice. 100% agree Stew. There is much better tyres in the 40 profile including my favourite Goodyear F1a2.
  16. Well on cliosport people arent really as close minded as some people. Ohh a renault not like its pretty much the same company and how anyone that drives a nissan can be a brand snob I dont know. I own a 172 and a 350 and like both for their abilities one isnt better than the other IMO.

    40's look much better than the 45's.

    Ok fair enough. I've understood your previous posts about tc and assumed you still thought i didn't get it. I don't see the point in sticking to 225/45/18 as they are way more expensive with less choice. Odd size maybe? I know what your saying with the speedo but I can live with a small percentage. Get on a tyre size calc site. Stick in the OEM tyre size and then the new tyre size and compare. You want to aim as much for as little difference as possible. http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm Front: 660mm - 225/45/18 (OEM) 654mm - 245/35/19 (New wheel) 6mm difference or 0.91% Front: 678mm - 245/45/18 (OEM) 675mm - 275/35/19 (New wheel - stretched a bit?) 682mm - 285/35/19 (New wheel - not stretched?) 3mm difference or 0.44% OR 4mm or 0.59% respectively for 275 and 285 Sorry I was refering to the "most members" bit. Agreed that your tyre sizes are fine, thats what I said in my first reply, that you dont have a problem as your tyres sizes are fine. The point I was making was to the OP and that you cant blindly put 40 profiles on, you need to understand the relationship first, which no one has explained. People usually come unstuck by not understanding this and just swapping tyres willy nilly
  19. The skunk2 guy says you can run spacers I don't see how it works. With no strut brace you will lose front end sharpness. How much I don't know.
  20. I was going to put engine flush in the 350 once but the people at my dealership said that they already use flush as part of the service anyway.
  21. Also just watched it. Its the trophy its against. The trophy is the limited edition track version usually. The clio trophy suspension alone was over £3k. After watching that I so want a 370 its an awesome looking car
  22. Hmm after a lil diggin, some people say it can be fitted but you need spacers. But I dont see how that helps you if your is hitting the bonnet. Can I ask why you got the skunk2? It doesnt get great reviews in the US.
  23. where is it hitting? You might be able to cut a little bit of the bonnet away
  24. The skunk2 is 5/8's. Dont know what that is in cm's lol. But some people say its a tight fit with the bar. The problem isnt spacing it from the plenum but from hitting the bonnet.
  25. Saw you driving right towards Dundee at Claypots. about 4.30pm. Im pretty sure it was a female driver. Didnt catch your reg
