Thank you!

We've got a smart 197 track car build going through auction on PistonHeads at the moment. Thousands have been spent on building the car and maintenance. The car is based in Sevenoaks in Kent with a guide price of £5,000 - £6,000. Happy bidding! https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/auction/16354514

Holy thread revival! I don't know if there's more than one BTB exhaust company, but I called the one in Daventry and they said I'd be looking at a couple of grand for a custom exhaust from them for my 172 Cup. Powerflow Mitcham have quoted me £600-650 over the phone for a full cat back system...

Holy thread revival! I've got a Pure Motorsport sports cat and silenced 'stealth' system on my 172 Cup, but it's still too loud for me. I'm thinking of going down the custom exhaust route to get something quieter made up – anyone used a Powerflow franchise in the South East area? I'm in Kent.

Thanks! As does RB and Liquid Yellow, I've had both of those too. If you bought your 182 Cup off Mark, then it's likely my old one 😆

Superb, don't think I've ever seen either of your cars about. We'll have to organise a get together at some point.

Yep that could be me – mine's Flame Red :)

Back in another 172 Cup that I bought from @Mbeau (my fourth 1*2), based near West Malling. Had a good run to Camber on the weekend with him and his Iceberg 172 Cup, which is now up for sale in the classifieds section.

My Megane was in with Alex a few months ago but hadn't thought about asking him about a geo setup – will do thanks!

I'd been trying to wear Mark down to sell me this car ever since he bought it. He finally conceded and I couldn't be happier with it – you always know with Mark that you're getting an honest car and his preparation is exceptional. Unless you have threads like this, it's almost impossible to...

After buying @Mbeau's 172 Cup, I'm keen to get the Bilstein B14s set up properly now that they've settled. Any recommendations for where I could take the car in Kent please? Anyone in particular good with Clios?

Slightly off topic but does anyone in Kent have a 200 they could take me out in pretty please (I'm between Maidstone/Tonbridge)? After having three 1*2s and a couple of Meganes I need to scratch the 200 itch but have never been in one and quite fancy meeting an owner rather than just relying on...

Exactly my thinking. But it does need belts and probably swivel joints looking at MOT history so I'd rather know a bit more about the history of it before taking the plunge!

Quite interested in this 200, seems a good price BUT it doesn't have any service history. I've spotted in the photos it has a CS sticker so wondering if it was owned by someone on here who might be able to provide some more info on it...

Normally I'd stick with the halogens, but as this is my daily and 'winter is coming', I'd rather not have to put up with candlelight when I'm driving in the dark! Plus I think with the new MOT regs you don't need headlight washers on anything pre-2008.
