It is faster than the VTR yes and has a lot more torque due to being a 2ltr. Hit 5500rpm and it really comes alive.
Handling in standard form is f*****g amazing imo. For a standard car it don't half hold the road well, Renault definitely did a good job in the suspension department - kinda makes me not want to lower it lol.

Ofcourse, it's not a crazily powerful car. It's not like i got in it and went 'wow, this is bloody quick' but it's definitely fun and quicker than the vtr. A massively better car too.

Looks Soo Clean! I Think Clear Indicator Bulbs , Lower , Anthracite Wheels With Colour Coded Diamonds & Anthracite Door Badges Would Look Great :)

Proffitt 26th October 2010 14:14

Looks awesome Chip :)

They have grown on me a lot recently :oops:

Got clear indicator bulb's in. Not going for anthracite, decided i want a much more oem look this time. The less chavvy, the better lol :y: Not that Anth is chavvy but to some people it does give that look the second you paint wheels lol.

Had the cambelt kit, de-phaser, air filter and oil change done today :)

Looking at the auxiliary belt i'm glad we caught it when we did!



Glad it's all finally done!

CHIP 3rd November 2010 17:50

Haha, very well timed :) Got MOT and tax in January then the modding can begin :y: First up, coilovers i think.

Cheers dude. Like i said, i've always wanted one since passing my test. Very glad i've now got one :) Never really thought about this colour 'til i started looking seriously into them but i think it's really nice and not very common.

Haha, that was the thing. Was playing on my mind. All done now though :)

sn3ddon 3rd November 2010 22:37

I know it's horrible the thought of a snapped belt. I like the k-tec stealth exhaust my mates got one on his 172
