"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

lozz thanks mate :D :D

:? the Xsara phaze 2 is cheaper to insure than a 306.
cheaper tax too.

one of the reasons why ibought one,

the remap only cost me an extra 20quid on my insurance,
iguess it all depends who your insured with tho as towards what they charge for such mods.

i tried all the cars ive owned in the past as i have a good memory for reg plates, the 406 hdi 90 i had last year was £198 more to insure this year everywhere i went, the xsara was 100 more than the pug and a ph1 406 dturbo was £700

silly money, the insurence for the 306 is 378 and i only paid 350 for it :evil: how can they justifiy me paying more than i paid for the car.

doesnt help that im unable to work full time and them twats in no.10 keep lining their pockets.
