The 309s are lovely. That Z4 though. Urgh, it gives me back ache just looking at it.

Test fitted some Speedline R3 wheels on mine a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if I will keep them with everything going on at the moment, but they do sit nicely. Needs lowering mind.

Usually look on eBay, Auto Trader, forums, Facebook, Gumtree. eBay is ok. You get good and bad sellers. Facebook and gumtree is where most of the lunatics seem to hang out now. Don't bother with piston heads, as it's tiny and most stuff is over priced.

Agreed. I guess you could argue that it's already started. The big turbo stuff has gone up, and good EG/EK Civics are going up too. It was definitely the best era for Japanese stuff.

I think this is the real issue in a lot of cases. These things just aren't designed as 'fit and forget' items. They are designed for cars that are used, then put up on stands and cleaned. On WRC cars, they will often use more than one set of dampers in a single day, rebuilding and rotating them 😂

The GSI was such a good looking car!

I do love a Cavalier. Would have a turbo all day long. I knew someone that had a C20XE Nova years ago. He drove like an absolute nutter. It was pretty terrifying for what it was. It was a great engine, but the chassis' in that era weren't usually up to much. Given the popularity of VXRs, I'm...

How powerful is the RSi? There can't be many left now!

Good stuff. This is the best forum around in my view, whether you have a Clio or not. Lots of knowledge on here about everything car related.

Huge burnouts were a thing 25 years ago in the Max Power days. It's just easier to video them now 😂

Plenty of people out there with more money than sense. The fact that some old Ferraris and stuff sell for millions tells you how mental the classic car scene can be. I don't blame this place for chancing their arm. They've probably seen Trophy's and the like up for big money and might not really...

Yeah, a 9000.

Was available on the MK3 Mégane too. My 265 was Capsicum.

That's why I want one. Find me one lol

This show could be really interesting but, as with most of these resto/buying selling things, they make it more about the presenters and creating fake drama. I quite like Combat Dealers. The subject matter is fascinating, with them explaining all the relics that you never even thought existed...

What's the plan for this one?

Someone got a real bargain with this car, such an awesome spec.

That's because most car journalists are tight as a gnat's chuff in my experience 😂

They certainly show what an exclusive club motoring journalism is. The guys he's had on produce a huge proportion of the content that's available. I find it funny how most of them talk about the cars they've owned over the years, yet if you want to get into the business now, you'd be lucky to...

People seem to get very upset about things like this but, given the mileage on most 1*2s, you can't blame dealers for trying. The mileage is ridiculously low and £13k is pennies to most collectors. If nothing else, it's generating traffic for the dealer, so they can't lose really.

I really enjoy it, my favourite car podcast by miles. I've not listened to the latest too yet. I usually listen while driving, but not done that lately :ROFLMAO:

Bonjour! Your English is probably better than some on here!

Yeah, Performance Edition, so factory orange paint, lightweight wheels and coilovers. Not a big fan of the orange personally. Those wheels would look awesome on a blue or white one though.

I hate everyone with a MK1. I want one :(

What are you lot talking about?! When I was a kid, me and my two siblings got carted about in a three-door Nova 😂

It is mental. I've had a 172, 197 and a Meg 265 and the mounts were pap on all of them. They make them so soft as standard. Funny really, as they usually make the suspension rock hard :ROFLMAO:

What I really don't understand, and this seems to go for all R.S. models, is why the engine mounts are always so s**t 😂

I think from a shift point of view, the MK3 is better than a MK2 in my view. And the lever isn't in such a stupid place 😂 The synchro thing on the MK3 is annoying, but the 'box in the 1*2 is pretty pap too in reality. Mine used to crunch away if you drove it hard.

One is a legend of the hot hatch world and famed for being one of the sweetest handling hot hatches of all time. The other is a Civic. 197 or 200, no contest in my view. If you can get a 200 Cup, then that's obviously the best one, as it has the quicker rack etc, but any of them will be fine...
