Funny that i should find this thread .... Failsport are currently looking to build a turbo'd, supercharged and throttle bodied Clio 200!! In the style of a Golf 1.4TFSI thingy, but in a clio & with cornering ability. Obviously we'll be fitting turini's, silvervision & ktec coilovers as well...

Yeah, they turned up yesterday afternoon. Will have to trust you that they're in the box as i put it straight in the boot of the car lol

Mine gets the cheap stuff. No point putting in super when all i do is sit on the mway at 70mph for 2k miles a month. Makes bugger all difference anyway, unless the car is turbo'd. Which is isnt.

At a guess, something like this. Lowering done by boot full of camping gear:

Depends entirely on the person, their ability & the situation they find themselves in. I wouldnt start an insurance company personally, but i managed to survive at a young age, driving some relatively quick cars. I did start driving at 11 though, farmland + uncle's Evo 6 ftw ;)

Mines fairly standard, & for a buying guide, im sure you'd love to photo a '55 plate Trophy with 172k miles on it .....

Might be worthwhile sending a pm to Henk/Fastchip - he might be able to calibrate it all remotedly.

Iirc.

Ah yes, but the 2.0 Trophy would probably go round the corner at 110. The 1.2 corsa wouldnt. Imho a quick car, designed for speed, is possibly safer for a youngster than a slow car, not designed for speed. Purely as it'll mask the mistakes better & help you out a bit more in a tricky...

For me though, thats the problem, to get to decent speed in a 1.0 you need to keep your foot in for a long time!! Drive flat out constantly, etc. In a quick car you just toe it, get to desired speed, slow down again, etc. Maybe thats just me, but i've had pretty swift cars ever since i passed...

And the response ;)

Ill say it again. A cars speed is governed by the driver, not the car. He could have been driving a 1.2 at 100mph & crashed.

Nail. Head. The stupidity of people amazes me constantly. Whether they offer you £1500 more for your shed, or £1500 less off the new car, the cost to change is still the same lol.

So much dumbness in this thread. Tbh, i've resisted posting in it, but now my head is going to explode. As such, im going to write in bullet points: 1. Your cup isnt worth £4.5k, in fact glasses price (assuming 70k miles) is about £2k. 2. Your cup isnt worth £2.9k damaged. 3. It probably...

Welcome to 1999? When i was 17 this was amusing, now i just have a RWD car.

Just use the standard discs until they are dead. Absolutely no point changing to HC's unless your current set are knackered.

Re: Project 172 Trophy Red Megane 225 Powered Heavy Track Car Pink FTW.

Flol, every 4k!! Id be doing it every 2 months :s Opie service pack. Motul excess fully synthetic. Done.

Mk3's are just awful. At least uf you scene a MK1/2 you have a decent enough car at the start.

City Link have now collected. Thanks for the offer of help Saner :D

Just saw this, & thought of you ...

Sold for £1220 :S

FLOL, is it you that did them?!!! Their ghetto 'two nuts on top of each other' ness reminded me of something that id do :rasp:

Nah, I recognised the username ;)

I'd guess its going in some kind of single seater/Locost/hillclimb car - pic looks like a Tatuus FR2000? Hyabusa bodies as well possibly ... Edit. Beaten to the spec by the OP. But i clearly reek of geek ;)

If i didnt do 35k a year id have a 200, for £200 a month its a blinding deal. However, you are paying £6k to borrow a car for two years.

MK1 Clio 1.8 16v (Phase 1 version) - '91/'92 plate iirc.

I bet the brake cooling is simply horrific with those slabs of iron stuck on the hubs as well!!

lol, imagine how much fuel that bad boy used on the day!! Twin fuel tanks FTL. Nice pics though, winter track days are ace!!

Saw this the other day lol ... Tbh, the car had nothing to do with the accident, it was inappropriate speed for the situation the driver found themselves in. Could have been doing 110mph in a Corsa 1.2. A car is only as fast as the accelerator is pressed/held down for.
