Thanks for the comments folks. I got the chance to drive a few Clio 182 and 172's over the last few days and am confident I'm making the right choice of VX follow-on car! It has changed my view on what I'm looking for though, I'd originally wanted some track focused mods but I'm realising...

Yeah, I was asking myself that on the drive home... it's really well priced. I still may buy it but there are a few cups and ff Clio's that I'm looking at which look even better, holding out for the right one.

For anyone interested, I saw it today. It seemed tight mechanically although it's sitting on Apex springs so is quite stiff. The suspension looked pretty fresh. Brakes, acceleration and steering was great, no knocks and there were no engine rattles. There's no record of the cambelt being done...

Scott, you will have forgotten about this thread, but it's for sale in Northampton... I found this thread while searching this forum for history on it. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201604092801974 I may take a look at it this week - put off by the fact that there's no history...

I'll be there. I'm in the market for a 172/182 so I'm hoping you'll indulge me and my questions!

This is a fair point. I would love one with at least cup or modified suspension and some engine/exhaust/cat mods. More would be a bonus but you're right, it may be worth holding out for more :)

That is a beautiful thing!

This is an incredible thread - amazing work dude, such a clean car! I'm a big fan of the wheels on this now.

Good news mate, this car looks like a disaster waiting to happen

Sounds like a shocker!

Wow, seems like a good car on paper for that money, it's all your though dude as I currently don't have the room for another car, a few months until I'll be in the market :(

I don't but have this in my saved car list - it looks like a lot of 182 for the price...

It's interesting advice mate, I was quite blindly set on a 182 because... horsepower (and I have to admit I like the look of the double exhaust). You've made me think though as the cup edition looks really good. I'll keep my eye out for them and there are also some tidy looking 172 FF's too...

I'm in the same place right now, I wouldn't be able to use it right now but will be ready to buy soon. It's good to hear that it ticks the cheap thrills and fun box, that's always the concern coming from a car like the VX. I was at Blyton Park last year and was caught and I let past a very...

It was going to happen, a real shame what they've done to that strip. I have a lot of memories from that cafe as I grew up in the area and spent many evenings there. I remember seeing a Royal Mail truck locking his brakes and creating a lot of smoke on evening... good times :) I became a member...

Awesome, thanks! I'll keep an eye out on that South East sub-forum and will definitely be at the next Ace Cafe event, I'm currently living 2 miles down the road... very unhappy that the coucil put speed bumps down outside the front!

Yeah, I saw that Typhoon... If I'd come to terms with the fact I had to sell the VX earlier in the summer, I could have been there! Shame but I'm sure there'll be more opportunities. That's my plan, I'll become a member in a few months when I'm ready to start looking... where I'm living at...

Hello all, I'm new here. Having recently sold my VX220 after 2 years of ownership and trackday fun I'm looking at what my next track focused car will be. After much deliberation over personal finances and even more lurking on PistonHeads, here and a few other marque specific forums, I'm pretty...
