I spotted a cavalier turbo today. My mates dad had a gsi way back when and I loved the way it looked. Not so sure now though [emoji23]. On the finance thing, 22 years ago I got £16k on finance to buy a car and all the old gits at work ribbed me about spending so much on a used car. One of the...

Wasn't there a French guy sniffing around at FCS looking to buy a car?

Did the FCS bodge hold together mate?

Didn't anybody take any pics of our line-up? We need to get @Dr Jekyll to more of these events!

Welcome to Cliosport Dan. Monaco is such a nice colour, the standard 172 wheels suit it but more so in anthracite imo. You're absolutely correct in regards to the driving position, seat too high and wheel needs reach adjustment. If you're planning on keeping it and going coilovers bilstein B14...

Only reason for him not to pay the £80 up front is he worried you'll take it and then claim on his insurance. You may never even think of doing such a thing but there are some right c***s about there.

From renaultsportclub.co.uk https://www.flickr.com/photos/gazeratti/albums/72157668916398407 There's a few of @chris blue and one of @Cerrone I spotted in there.

I left at 3. The M1 was bliss!

I actually took a couple of pics. I didn't get carried away with the camera!

Bit boring. Tried putting the reg number in the search box?

What did the sticker say? Bring nudes?

Saw your car mate but didn't bump into you. Car looks nice, and nicely different to the gaggle of ly ones nearby.

?? We will have to set up a group pm at csf so we can communicate clearly. So many wrong accents ?. At least I could talk proper to @mossyv6 and @nath&alex today? Did @Ali get home in one piece?

Looked quick on track, what you done to it? ??

We had a great turnout today, the show in general is definatly on the decline though but these occasions are great to meet and catch up with cliosporters. Nice to meet @nath&alex and err, dam? Dim? @Cerrone what's that ginger guy called again? ?

Which August were you thinking of? [emoji23][emoji23] Nice to meet you today pal, maybe see your 172 next time then.

What's all that white s**t on the roof?

Cars all clean inside but it looks like it's going to piss it down any moment now so I'm holding off washig it. I'll probably be doing it in 30° heat tomorrow.

Surely it's a good sign that there's a market for clios that can absorb that much ££ and not be a huge loss.

Yeah a decent refurb place should be able to match them for you. I think they look quite good too[emoji106].

Your 172 looks lovely, as I'm sure you've noticed there's much appreciation for the mk1 clio still in the club. Welcome to cliosport[emoji1073]

Yes the gt turini's are the same.

Ah OK, what I meant was if you liked the clio because of the 5k kick, and the build of power at high revs and sharp throttle response it will lose some of those traits once boosted. Yes it will be much faster, but it won't drive the same. If its the handling that you like most about the clio...

Anyone going down from oop north Saturday morning I can tag along with at Barnsley?

Yeah that. Have you owned a turbo hot hatch? If not I'd go test drive a few, meg or vxr anything from the last 10 years or so. The way they build speed is nothing like a na 182 so if you like the 182 a blown one may not be as appealing as you imagine.

Just seems a lot of people who boost them sell up not long after. They will be noticeably quicker, but I think it's the difference in power delivery that probability puts people off. Don't think there's any reliability issues other than clioturbo but cars.

What you cleaning that with?

Shame about the 5, bit of an odd excuse but at least you're not out of pocket. Are there any blown clios near you you can have a test of? They are very different to a na one.

Strong numbers from the dyno. Those tyres any good?

What's up with it?
