GTi is great fun like i said earlier in the thread. There is a reason they hold their money well! Did 45k in min, numerous track days and 3 trips to the ring, never had any problems with it at all. Pretty nippy for what they are. not quite 172 quick but quicker than fiesta st's etc. Pretty rare...
Got a ps3 for blu ray duties for now, and will be using my philips ambilight tv. Mainly the speakers and amp im needing. Quite like the denon 1912 amp but not sure what speakers to use with it. are ceiling mounted speakers any good as rears?
Have had a panasonic set up for many years now in my room at home but now buying my own house and think that the panasonic wont really be powerful enough for a decent sized living room. Plus the built in dvd has stopped working.
So im thinking of getting a separates set up, Not really decided...
I think if you need to ask whether to buy or not you may regret buying one. No they arent the fastest or best handling cars in the world but id give anything to own one!
Absolutely love the things, Think they look amazing and are just so different
Personally I wouldn't go for the goodyears on the megane. Had them on mine when I got it. Tears lasted forever but the fronts wore incredibly quickly on the insides which when I spoke to the local tyre fitter he said was very common
Pole positions are lovely but if you are over 6ft ish the harness holes may be to low. Had cobra suzukas in mine when I bought it and there were very supportive but a bit to snug for me. Got sparco evo 2 now and very happy with them. Very comfy as well
I'm not against brake dust! I'm not super ocd with wheels etc. But had some cl rc5 the non plus ones on my old Lupo and the brake dust ruined the wheels completely so much that they went rusty when wet. and I don't really want this tbh. Found the rc5+ a lot less dusty on the megane
Looking to change the front brakes on my 182. The previous owner fitted brembo max grooved disks with ebc red pads which dont seem to be up to much. and also seem quite noisy.
The car is a toy and not a daily so when it does go out it gets driven quite hard. im also hoping to do quite a few...
Ive just gone from r26 to 182. and gotta say i much prefer it. its so much more raw. im a bit like you and have a van for work. when i get in the clio it feels much better to go out for a thrash in that the megane. and running costs are so much cheaper!
Belts done a month before i picked it up! got a huge folder of receipts for over 4k of mods as well! cannot believe how expensive ast's + accessories are!
Will be ring bound next year now around may time i would think. gotta get some 15s sorted and track tyres. Thats about it. ordered a new head...
