I think Aucky's point is that he has done it both ways. The more traditional route (which has cost him £1500), and now the RS2 route, which has cost similar. The RS2, for a similar cost, is imho, a much better choice, & if werent such a notorious tight ar5e, definitely the route that i would...

Matt Wills. If you just want lows, i dont think you can go far wrong with V-Maxx tbh.

Can you point me in the direction of said thread? Being a Trophy owner, & one of the more active members of the forum, i cannot remember such comments. Unless of course, the comments were in some secret detailing section that they have banned me from viewing. I am the devil afterall. Trophy...

I think you've got it all wrong Tony. This is ClioSport, people are only interested in impressing the crowd, not actually enjoying the car for themselves. According to 90% of people on here, my track car is pointless as it doesnt have coilovers or a weld in cage. I remind myself of this...

JMS. Chertsey. Look in the trader section for contact details.

Correction factor @ 0.91 = 177 bhp Add 9% to make: Correction factor @ 1.00 = 193bhp Now, i dont know the ins & outs of rolling roads, & correction factors, etc - hopefully someone will help me out here? But is it coincidence that the correction factor has changed by exactly the same...

Thats just like me telling you to 'get an M3'. Yup, unhelpful.

Theres only one Cornish troll in here though, & its the one with no hands on experience of the RS2. ;)

Im sorry, but despite the fact ure an inbred cornishmen like me ;) i cant take you seriously. I suppose a better idea would have been to build a 200bhp + monster on 421's & itbs's, but alas, perhaps those who buy the RS2 want a reliable improvement in power... Go off & enjoy ure itb's Laine...

This. Cookson, there is a pic on here of your cars cambelt being being changed without a locking tool. Your opinions are therefore, invalid.

I got this:

Not surprising. Bargain.

Best red car on the forum.

Old age ;)

Whilst this is now going slightly off the topic of RS2's, i would just like to point out something quite important, purely as this comment hit a nerve. Tom, for all his faults, would not rip someone off. In addition (and i'll be 1st person to admit to being a bit of a wind up merchant), i am...

Admiral. Cheaper than the Trophy for me ...

Its in Ireland? Prices are considerably cheaper for DC5's over there iirc.

Daft suggesiton, but have you checked the battery is holding a full charge? Iirc, when the 1st Trophy died, we thought it was the UCH, rumour has it, i had no power.

lol. Bloke was a class A c*nt as well iirc.

lol, welcome to 5 years ago. That was 'Jesus' with GDi's ITB PH1 iirc.

For me, yes. FYI, that sh1tbox of Guppys isnt the only ITB'd hot hatch i've driven or owned mind ;) They are good yes, but i dont think they offer the gain that you would expect for the money invested. Like Chris says above really. This is what 99% of people miss when modifying a 1*2 imho...

Not sure on Nick tbh, but i owned a 182 on ITB's, which i then broke. To be honest, if the drive was that much better than my fairly standard Trophy, i would have fitted the ITB's. I didnt, which imho, sums them up. Not worth £2.5-£3k. In fact, i didnt even think they were worth the £1300 that...

:dapprove: Exactly why i didnt touch the loom in the saxo tbh Nick, just hid it all instead. Would the entire ecu/UCH/keys/immobiliser setup from a 182 not work, say if you swopped absolutely everything over?

Perhaps thats the torque limit for the valve springs ;) No point having a really high-bhp revvy engine that blows up as soon as you drive it hard. Oh.

Looks nice, but not entirely sure what the point is? Are you planning on using the clio as a van?

I'm totally confused.

Oops. Im no mecanic, but i would assume that even when people have access to the correct locking tools, they sometimes dont use them ... Reminds me of this pic.

And again, in case you failed to read it the 1st time.

Ok, if u can get these in similar spec/history/condition for £5.5k, ill have two please. Deadly SRS.

Race Base = Hero Spec ;)
