That looks stunning! How many times have you been arrested by the Trophy Police though for doing away with the original suspension? :rasp:

That's blasphemy coming from a Bean owner :p Joking aside, nice car mate :)

Yes and how far is Birchdown from you mate? Rather travel a bit than get dicked over!

If you want lows with your 172 Jake, come and measure the bean and follow my example. Just right :D

Did they not recommend you go to tweeks? That's where they told me to go when they fitted by new oem top mounts and various other bits. They have a proper laser alignment system.

Above the exhaust

Poor, poor Bean :(

I'm going to the RR too... my result will determine my mood. If it's sh1t3 then I'm gonna just crawl home and sulk. If I'm pretty happy though, I'll come and join ya'll! :D

Intriguing though. Wonder how many more (if any) MPGs you may get on the motorway?

Unless you're a mechanic or have ready access to all the equipment needed, it's gonna cost a lot for an extra cog. So I'd rather go the full hog have an R26 engine and box put in. £££

PMSL. Did I not mention I was driving my l0lorry :o

Accelerating from 70 in 50th ain't top end though mate, that'll be mid range-ish :rasp: I see where you're coming from though :approve:

Cracking chassis but they failed quite hard after the 182. Early 197 gearing was sh1t, heavier, worse on fuel, seemingly more strangled lower down. Perhaps it's just as well they're killing off the RS Clio as we know it... before they do a Peugeot...

And I'm now inspired to get my name stitched into my headrest

That's where you're going wrong then mate

Not if you take it to a friendly garage...

Damn right it's gonna be free if it was fine before they serviced it. My guess would be plugs too...

Quieter than standard iirc...

RS192 with the cat in place is quiet. Still sounds a bit deep and rumbly on idle, mind.

"Holy thread resurrection" and all that... I believe this was what is now my car. See, I was checking its MOT history on the DVLA site just now and I noticed that it used to bear the reg beginning "K50" If you're out there K50, the bean is doing great :D Yes, a bit stalkerish, I know...

Love the guy's face on the front of the mag shot. He's thinking: "Imagine the clunge I'm gonna get now..." FL|cktard

It's not normal that you were only supplied with one key, no. A previous owner probably has the spare tucked away in a drawer somewhere and forgot all about it when they moved the car on. Or they lost it.

"Transformed into a show car" Oh you're not wrong there, it's a fL|cking show alright!

I'd have to echo Knuckles' sentiments about these wheels being too chunky to pull off white. Don't know what it is because I think RB suits white turbines to the ground... Anthracite with a blue badge would look a lot better indeed! Do show them off once they're sorted! (I'm sure you will...

If you keep it that long after charging, won't it be some sort of record? IIRC the clock starts ticking after charging till you see it spring up for sale somewhere? :rasp: Happy 2,000th post BTW...

2 years next month. After the money spent on it and will continue to be spent on it, I'd be an absolute moron to let it go. I don't intend to but I've said the same with previous cars...

The right 182 for winter? Surely that'd be one fitted with winter tyres then? Get a Panda 4x4

Bloody hell, who's selling it? BARRY SCOTT?
