Just a quick shout out to pasty boy to check his PMs please Cheers

Thanks for the info bud. Why would those issues parts you have listed to check have an effect on the idle speed of the car for 1 minute after starting that settles down consistently? Not questioning your awnser just like to learn the whys as well as the hows. cheers

Hi guys. Right so I'm after some info please. Had my thermostat and CTS done yesterday (genuine parts) and she holds her running temp like a dream now. What I have noticed is when I start her up after I've just pulled over and the engine is at running temp. She still idles like she's cold for a minute. The secondary pump isn't running like when she's stone cold but the revs will be higher than what she normally idles at. Anyway I've attached a video and I apologise for it being a bit boring... but a picture paints a thousand words and all that. Thanks for any input and the weekend is nearly here! https://youtu.be/gByuCb-PC4c

OK, anyone recommend any nice rims for the mk1 vrs? I'm assuming 18's fit without bother. Will 19s go on? Finding it really hard to see a style of wheel that will sit nice on her.

Hi guys, Any idea if these wheels will go onto my 03 vrs please? Tyre- 225/45R18 Rim- 8Jx18 ET35 Pcd- 5x100 Thd M14 x 1.5 Cb- 56.1 I know the pcd is correct and the the Centre bore is 1mm difference but a bit I'm user that can easily be adjusted. Thanks for your time and any input. Tom

Same as you mate, fresh off the noob boat

Thanks guys. I do toy with modding ideas but most of it has been done to death. I've been looking at coil overs just to sit her down a little. What do you reckon? Fund it hard to really get the post count up in here as it seems everything has been covered. Not a bad thing though Scott did you get your new motor? Take it easy.

Hi mate, How much for the bonnet grill and surround please? Cheers.
-
Cheers mate. Doing the odd subtle mod to her but like to keep things looking fairly standard... For now

Hi guys, As per the title I'm a proud owner of my Mk1 Silver VRS. Looking forward to learning a lot and making some friends. Just got rid of a megane 1.5dci and already had this mapped to 215bhp so the difference is phenomenal. I love my car. Cheers Tom
