Nice graph ;) I agree though, there are many times on track where low/mid revs in 3rd are used instead of bouncing off the limiter in 2nd. At this point, where smoothness is key, more torque is very useful :)

Not a 182 steering wheel either, no cruise buttons ...

Epic car. Shame it'll be dirty again after 5 minutes. Then swirled to hell as soon as the owner washes it.

See im completely the opposite. I'd rather buy one that needs work, then get it fixed up properly by a specialist/myself - then i know its been done correctly.

You need one of these. Although i am with Mike im afraid. Yes, its RWD, but so is a Skoda Estelle.

You undersold that massively Tony!!!! Could have put it up for £150 delivered & bought 40 jars of that hot curry sauce with the extra £££'s.

Personally i would rather buy a slightly cheaper car that hasnt had the belts done, then get them done by someone i trust, ie Fred @ BTM. Rather than paying full retail for one thats just had them done by the dealer/a drunk bloke down the pub/NWP (in order of perference).

Currently have an M3 for day to day & the Trophy for trackdays/fun. Looking to buy a house so need to reduce monthly outgoings. As such, im selling the M3 for a newer clio and stripping the Trophy back to rolling shell & putting it in storage. Newer clio should give me similar running costs to...

He said on the Trophy forum that it had 130-136 ATW. So about 165-170bhp at the fly in 'real' terms.

R26R lol.

If it helps at all, i find that my Trophy gives far more 'accessible' fun than my M3, ie you dont need to be doing 120+ in order to get your kicks. In a straight line, its obviously a lot slower, but down an A/B road, the M3 wouldnt know which way it went :race: Hence why the M3 is going, & a...

Because they dont have a load of blue ones left lying around as nobody can be bothered with the hassle of the daft paint?

You're missing out there ;) Nowt wrong with a miley one if its well looked after ...

Head hanging out the window for air iirc. Be reet.

lol. Nimbus minus aircon is herospec iirc. ;)

Will need cams, exhaust, de-cat, & a good remap to get 196bhp, or simply be done on a friendly dyno ... What were the 'at the wheels' figures OP?

FFS Another one lol. To be honest, the only edition that i would actually really really consider paying £20k for, would be a Trophy. In UR, with a hydraulic steering rack, remote Sachs dampers & a Quaife LSD. Id finance that bad boy over the next 10 years if needed.

Re: Solution's to the hose pipe ban? Ideas in here from and for anyone. My solution? Either not bother (what i usually do), or use Ollie's indoor cleaning area ;)

Thats Richard @ CDG Cars. He's Richard1 on here iirc.

If you want a 197 or 200, get on www.clio197.net :) Or talk to this man: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/member.php?20158-R-Sport-Cars-LTD he has a mint RB 200 with Recaros & Speedlines for sale. You'll need to become a member to see his section iirc.

Not sure if SRS?

To be fair, it would also be very easy to get the car recovered on the back of a truck (via shiply) for less than £100. Car fixed = less than £600. Not ideal (cos it broke in the 1st place), but not the end of the world, & you could then still sell it for decent money (£3.5k or so) once fixed...

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. Exactly. Must. Resist. Temptation. To. Spend. Money.

Tomorrow: 1. Dave 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. Edge Automotive. Om nom nom nom.

Great pics!! Normally, when M3's/CSL's are in a thread i get a little bit excited, but today, this made me go 'OMG, wow, flipping do want'.

Looks ace. UR is FTW!! Although i'd be tempted to leave it a bit dirtier/take pictures further back with that much orange peel ;) Lack of Recaros/Speedlines does make me a little sad though.

Looks epic as ever!! And keep it, you'll only regret it if you dont ...

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. Same. I walked away from the non-cup 200 drive feeling totally underwhelmed. The following week i drove an R27, which was much better. I can only imagine that the cup-packed 200 is better again. One thing i will add though, is that they HAVE to have Recaros. If...

lol. Nail varnish remover is brilliant for removing window tinting film ;) Re: the car, im open to all sorts of pi55 taking offers, so feel free to pm me/make an offer on eBay if you fancy it.
