Whats the cost difference between buying a fully prep'd car & doing one up?
Seen a really high spec one in a thread somewhere but cannot find it?
It was not for sale but guy was thinking of selling.
Re tyres, the RSR's are fine for road & track use, got some in garage to go on.
Anyone got any contacts or links for getting the above at 'mates' rates
Need 10 mr16 & 20 gu10.
The eBay ones are all different colours so don't want them.
It's turning the demand into hard cash that's the problem usually.
What you looking at 60-80 spaces depending on circuit, weekday or WE event, circuit prices vary considerably also.
Can I ask which tracks are being looked at for location?
The vauxhall forum used to book Donington park after...
A track full of noobs tripping over each other, missing braking, turn & apex points playing follow the leader is just dangerous= BAD
If you follow a regular trackdayer you will see the lines, the braking points etc etc the experience will be better = GOOD
This could go seriously bad if not organised & enforced correctly.
To many 'egos' with too much to prove, your typical forum heros.
The RTOC event the yr before at Mallory saw several cars destroyed, one the driver was lucky not to of been seriously hurt.
That would rule out at least half...
Buy the latest lowest mile full history car you can find.
Condition is everything; you can't polish a turd :D
I had the Cup with ac, speedlines & recaros in glacier white.
Good car & I used to give it death ;)
200's are nearing 8k so I would save for another month & get one.
This is why so many buy new & after a while decide to get rid once the honeymoon is over.
Then they try & sell for stupid prices until it dawns on them that 10K is max a stealer is going to offer.
If you enjoy & can afford it what difference does it matter?
Guy at work smokes 40-60 fags a day, I...
Oh dear, big mistake not doing the proper HPI check.
I would ask for refund from seller if no good, his house might need new windows for sure!
The car you bought is basically worthless, as mentioned lesson learnt.
With BT & am in dispute with the idiots as mine is never stable.
Best I have had is 6.4mb usually 1-2mb.
When I complain it goes up for a day or so then crap again, why?
Virgin looks like the daddy with these results?
Ahhh George's mechanic, the penny's now dropped :o
We had dinner together with George & Nic.
What do you think to the mx5 as a trackday toy?
More fun than clios?
Coming along to the next trackday?
I think you do a better job.
Maybe Renault may want to listen instead of fobbing off customers with the usual responses.
IF Renault actually listened to what customers wanted they would take a great leap forward ;)
After seeing this I posted a link on RS to see what Renault had to say about this.
Am thinking about wife's next motor & she likes the 200 & that in turn would be cleaned out regularly on track :o
Got the usual forum know it alls having a laugh, but think Renault may look into this.
3D tv will show 2D equally as good as any other, just gives you the option if you fancy 3D.
As for wait for the 3D without glasses still away off & pricey.
Seen the latest Philips set at ISE in the Dam have to say was bloody good but mucho wonga.
Panny Vt/Gt plasma still possibly best on...
What's best deal available at present on the 200?
Toying with getting one mainly for 4 yr warranty, bonus when trackdays are a must ;)
This is my fav colour

Or...
Seen some well cheap 4/5 K,
So you buy a cheap base car, paint it red, set of turinis in correct colour, find a set of recaros, your really lucky & find a set of Sachs dampers.
Not so cheap now is it!!!
Oh & after all that your only FOOLING yourself as everyone knows what a proper trophy...
I bought mine with three thousand miles on the clock back in 2006, for 10K.
Three yrs later & sitting at 17,000 got nearly 9.5K for it.
Not many cars that you can do that with.
Would I shell out 10K for another, NO.
Never go back, move on.
Last winter my wife was letting her car de ice on the drive.
BOOM, back window exploded.
Quiet common when you search.
Renault had never heard of it.
Yet meg sport forum seems common.
