Re: My Pink One.. Right another little update. FailTrophy is now off the road :dapprove: Purely as i've bought a daily :D However, this week, lots of treats have arrived for it: Alcantara front & rear door cards Alcantara rear bench inc. headrests Brembo HC Discs Ferodo DS2500...

Cue the jokes/haters/roflcopters :rasp: Yup, the gearbox isnt overly precise, the steering isnt very positive & the engine sounds like a washing machine, but its a lovely place to sit & certainly better than a Fabia VRS. Spec wise, its in a pretty rare colour (mauritius blue), with silver...

Mines mint when its dark, must have been another snotter ;)

Fair enough, but how do you now expect to negotiate on price if the car is good, but not ideal? They already have your deposit, & subsequently have you over a barrel if you do want the car, so how do you expect to get the 'best cash price'. Madness imho.

Wait. You've put a deposit on a car, without viewing it, subsequently hindering any potential negotiation that you may need to do upon seeing it Is it a refundable deposit?

Is bodgit, scarper & sons the limited co. name for NW Performance? I need a cambelt doing and i heard they're good.

I think they meant they did a hpi check ...

So are you keeping it, or selling it broken

Try buying one with 170k miles, every journeys like an adventure ... To be honest, the OP bought a 182 for £3600, it was never going to be perfect at that price!!

Pardon? ;) Might be a plan!! Will have to arrange some footy again, i miss your accent tbh :o I'm tight, so id fit them myself, then sort the alignment with hopes, dreams & a piece of string ;) Didnt get the revised spring rates in the end, might just phone Faulkner & see if thats where...

One for sale here for £70: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?536253-Breaking-Artic-Blue-2004-FF-Clio-182&p=7137912&viewfull=1#post7137912

Oh for sure, might have to add an Mx5 to the collection ;)

Its very good, but i preferred the rear-end twitchyness of the saxo, allows you to steer on the throttle a bit more. Trophy is more planted, but not as playful.

Unless you're a race engineer, messing with suspension settings is for GT4 imho, simply buying a decent setup out the box is a better idea for me, ie Bilstein, H&R, etc. In the end, i decided on some H&R coilovers, but then a bit of a delay ensued with delivery, so i got a refund. Collecting...

This +1. Plenty of guys on here that would sort you out if you got the parts. Just credit card it, dont flog the car for bugger all to one of the vultures!! On a side note, how much for the car ;)

You didnt search very hard

Ah, didnt realise 1st years tax was included. If thats the case, simply knock off the initial £435.

Not sure if this will help anyone. Essentially i put a lot of thought into buying a 200 on this plan, so did the neccessary number crunching taking into account all fees, depreciation, fuel, etc based on me doing 25k a year. Servicing is cheap for the Trophy as i can do it myself, 200 would...

Action Days + Combe = crash iirc. Never known a circuit like it lol ...

Its an amazing deal if you do low mileage & want to change your car every two years. Its not a good deal if you do 30-40k a year, & like to change your car every 6 months :(

Had this issue with my current Trophy, drainage holes in the sills were blocked, so they filled up & the boot got damp overnight. Might be worth a look :)

Do you think any of them have a legal job, like in accounts, or are they all playin' at bein hustlers ...

Looks awesome!! Any chance that you could do a break down of costs for this, not including the car, ie entry fees per race? Cheers Dave

Hiya Bigman, I havent booked it yet for this week - but someone will be able to no problem - i'm out though as i have an important meeting on Wednesday morning & dont want to be home at 11pm the night before ...

Looks blooming lovely Luke :cool: You can clean the miley one as well if you like ... epic levels of dirt on that bad boy!!!

I cant wait, i'm looking forwards to buying a 2 year old Clio 200, with 12k miles, for £9k due to oversupply ;) Saxo VTR/VTS style depreciation ftw ...

Looks nice. But i think you need to spend less time cleaning, & more time driving ... ;)

Utter shite, I put them on my z3m for drifto fun lol

Re: My Pink One.. Bought #433 with 51k on it in May, sold in Sept (with 63k on it) to Luke_89. Bought #461 with 170k on it in Sept, currently on 172k & keeping for the forseeable ... According to Ollie82. i must have shares in the DVLA ;)
