    5th gear airbag pictures

    Please note that if you are wearing a seat belt, the driver doesnt even touch the airbag if it goes off. As i have been saying for ages. Proof that they are only effective in frontal impacts where the seat belt is not working or fastened. Enjoy the extra weight boys, because they are...

    In fact a dodgy surface with Jeremy Townsend in the trophy would be ideal. He thinks the cars so good, let him feel some f7r power :P

    ECOTY - Evo Car of the Year Competition review inc Trophy

    Probably better to do a comparison at an old airfield or something. Somewhere where the dampers can be properly put through their paces.

    ECOTY - Evo Car of the Year Competition review inc Trophy

    Open invitation to anyone with an uber hatch. My car is as fresh as youll find. Only 3k on the new engine. Would be a fair comparrison, rather than these old battered williams' that people see and think they are all like that.

    ECOTY - Evo Car of the Year Competition review inc Trophy

    Trouble is non of the Trophy boys will go on a meet with a Williams. Ive asked before. Maybe they dont want to understand the reality of the Williams being 10 years old yet able to keep upo with their uber hatches. I was glued to the back of Rory in Scotland in his 182 on some of the best...

    The king is dead long live the king

    Best hot hatch encompasses everything. Build quality, speed, comfort, price, availability, exclusiveness. Trouble for the 182 is that when the Williams was built other hot hatches had no better build quality. The Williams was good for its day. Renault has gone nowhere with that quality and...

    The king is dead long live the king

    Well you cant say on one hand the ST is more expensive, yet on the other hand its ok for the 182 to fall apart when you sneeze. You pay more you get a better car. Take your choice.

    The king is dead long live the king

    And according to Clarkson talking about the drive train on the 182.... '...but it wont matter because the thing will have fallen apart long before it makes you deaf and mad' or talking about the boot '...you wouldnt find carpet like that in a student bedsit' and to sum it up 'you...

    The king is dead long live the king

    Ive always thought torque steer is more to do with tyres and chassis. Some tyres seem to induce it alot. I think a car with torque steer is not necessarily to do with power. The RS is supposed to have a great front end in terms of its change of direction. I think with all that power through the...

    Optimax is a RIP-OFF ?

    The Williams produces 175Nm of torque The 182 produces 200 Nm of torque The Williams has 150 bhp The 182 has 180 bhp The Williams has 85% of peak torque available at 2500rpm The 182 has 80 % of its torque available at 2500rpm So the Williams produces 148.8 torque at 2500rpm...

    Optimax is a RIP-OFF ?

    The 182 will always have less low down grunt. They made the f7r. It was a very good engine low down. They then made the f4r from it, and to get the jump in power they used a wilder cam. So you gain top end and lose bottom end. Then the 182 was a further development whereby they used a...
