Chi's new 225.

[Feirny]

Met up with @Chi to look round his latest acquisition. He's put the specs up somewhere but it's quick. I had a quick drive but couldn't really reach the pedals whilst sat in the fixed buckets

Just putting these up so he has them for the for sale thread in the coming weeks

Shouldn't it be 'Chi's new 310.'

And it looks really tidy.

 

[DaveDreads]

Chi buys cars like women buy shoes.

 

[Knuckles]

He's had more cars in the past year than I've had changes of underwear.

I hated the meganes when they first came out, but I have to admit, I love them now. Would love a dci 175 sport.

 

[Gally]

How can anyone have a fixed bucket? Seems insane. I'm guessing there are at least different bolt holes to move the seat if desperate?

 

[LiamR172]

Cool car but i really hate the ph1 bunper. Those foglights look so odd.

 

[lemonnobby]

In the right colour they look mean. More details on the spec.

It's Mark Black's old car, thread in Other Marques on it.

I thought I recognised the plate! Awesome car and spec - Marks a top bloke, sorted no end of problems out on my R26.

What's he replaced the Megane with?

 

[Chris V6 255]

Very nice! I quite like the Mk1 spotlights. Makes it look more aggressive. Always fancied a trophy.

 

[Daz.]

ph1's looks miles better than ph2's - fact.

 

[Djw John]

ph1's looks miles better than ph2's - fact.

Correct.

 

[Matt Cup]

Been out in this car whilst mark owned it, it's a f**king beast!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks awesome mate

Your opinion is so wrong.

 

[lemonnobby]

Your opinion is so wrong.

Yours is. I'm not very keen on the Ph2 front looks a bit soft

 

[welshname]

ph1 front is miles better. I think it's the bottom grill. The ph2 looks like a smiley face.

 

[LiamR172]

The ph2 looks like a smiley face.

The ph1 looks like an ugly face

 

[Nickson]

Lol @ the PH1 vs PH2 front end argument!

Car looks good.

(For the record, I prefer the PH2 front end... PH1 just looks so much more dated due to it being squarer).

This is the correct opinion.

Why not?

Anyone who needs to drive my car needs to be around my height. Lol

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

This is the correct opinion.

How can there be a correct opinion? Wouldn't that make it a fact?

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Blah.

 

[Gally]

Why not?

Anyone who needs to drive my car needs to be around my height. Lol

I'm thinking kinda narrows the market down if you want to sell as is. What's so difficult about an adjustable seat rail?

Makes it higher seating. I prefer to be low. Plus, never need to move it or myself obvs.

If someone came to buy it, I'd adjust it for the new buyer if required.

 

[Chi]

Luckily I'm the same height as Mark

 

[Daz.]

Your opinion is so wrong.

It wasn't an opinion it was a fact

I will admit it is colour dependant as some colours work great with ph2's. It's as always I guess, a personal preference - I've been here with ph1 vs ph2 valvers and willy's, ph1 vs ph2 172's and now mk2 Megs

 

[Mike_SE]

I saw this was for sale and wished it had been when I was looking for mine! The spec is massive on this

 

[Chi]

Took a couple of mates out and marinemackay2003 took it up the road.. I think he was suitably impressed...

 

[Daz.]

I can imagine! I'd love another 50 odd bhp in mine!

 

[marinemackay2003]

i was sold when it popped and farted tbh, rather nice car
