Modifying a Ferrari 348...
Re: My New 2005 Liquid Yellow Clio 182
Looks lovely.
As per previous comments, 99% of people wouldnt tell the difference between cup-packed/non cup packed anyway ...
Munson obviously would though as he's 300% expert.
£200 - full sport interior with dorrcards in ok condition
£200 - xenon headlights
£90 - cup spoiler
£200 - ktec sports cat with custom made ss catback
£25 - 25mm hubcentric spacers
£150 - rokkor coilovers
£150 - sport front bumper wings and side skirts
Thats based on roughly what these...
Glad its still enjoying the miles lol ... think i did more in 4 months than Jay did in 2.5 years
Re: the camber, must be the angle of the road, i certainly didnt do anything to it (except drive it) and it was fine when the alignment was done!
Cr4p steering makes for a cr4p car imho. Shame as the engine & box are great.
I understand your reasoning though, and if you wanted something bigger, its more 'fun' than an lcr!!
If you want a standardish noise, go for a Ktec Ultra slienced system - not much louder on the mway etc, but a nice rasp when botting it.
Dont buy a BTB unless you are hard of hearing. Sound nice, but are bloody loud lol.
Just out of interest, how many people commenting in here have done over 20k miles in each, having owned them all for at least 6 months?
Oh. Just me then ;)
Btw thats a 182 (cup-pack), a 172 cup & 2 x 182 Trophy's...
I only bought the Trophy as i couldnt afford another cup, they're the ones that are quick in the twisties right? Cost more as so many of them get crashed in the winter due to no ABS, pushing prices up ...
;)
This +1 million. 9/10 people think Clio's are either sh1t, chavvy, girly, or sh1t chavvy & girly.
It was getting to the stage were my boss was threatening me with a Saab pool car (instead of car allowance!) if i didnt get something more professional looking for meetings :quiet:
TT is gay...
Re: My Pink One..
A chap responded to one of my wanted ads the other day actually. Right result!
Glad you like the 2118's, been after some for ages lol ... not getting the H&R's any more though (they got delayed a little so got a refund), so decided to keep the Sachs in the end, they are...
Unfortunately, i completely forgot to book it again - and am generally feeling rank today, ie im flipping shattered (not coping well with the commute/early mornings i dont think!) so dont fancy getting home at 11pm, then getting up again at 6 tomorrow ...
If you still want to play, just call...
Id say yes, but for different reasons to those above. Yes the Trophy is very good out the box, but if you are wanting to modify, it is also a far better place to start, for example:
'53 plate, 75k 172 Cup - £3750
Sell Turinis (£250)
Buy H&R Coilovers (£750), Bucket Seats (£400), 15's inc...
And now, for a further update, having done 500 miles in it now, its mostly based on driving:
Steering
When will VAG learn that 'heavy' does not mean 'good feel'. I dont want to feel like a weakling everytime i get to a corner, turning the power steerings assistance down when i load up into...
