My commute helps massively with the decent fuel consumption. Across 26 miles of country roads, I only have to brake for about 5 junctions in total, that's it. Most of the time is spent cruising along at a steady 50/60 mph so it barely uses anything fuel wise. Been giving it a few squirts this...

Mine makes 187 with nothing! Remove your power steering...

A week in on mine and I'm head over heels. Perfect on my commute. It's a comfy cruiser barge when I want it to be, and a limpet when I don't. 36mpg too. Must try harder.

That was great to watch :approve:

Suzuki?

Will have a buddy in an S2000 coming along Saner, you thinking RWD at start or end of day?

This one was on the radar but was a trek to get to. After he dropped the price again last Monday I sent him a cheeky email and got a good response :approve: No mods (apart from a foam panel filter replacement) are permitted, self imposed rule.

I LOLd when I read about your kids not being able to sleep ;) For anyone that's interested, here's a link to the Evo back to back comparison http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolongtermtests/256042/renaultsport_clio_200_cup.html

When I got the Ignis last year I had a 12 mile commute, 1st and 2nd gear stuff, congested mainly, and for that along withe the occasional country blast it was fine. Now the commute is all country roads, 26 miles and seven villages, that's it. The Ignis handled it well, but it bucked about like...

Still got the Cup, but am open to offers. Not really making any effort to get rid yet, but will do come the spring. The Ignis wasn't cutting it as a daily anymore, and it pained me that the Cup sat there 3 weeks at a time sometimes without turning a wheel. Then two lots of insurance and tax...

First road impressions are; motorways are nice again, economy is fine, fat steering wheel feels lurvely, reach adjustment is worth it, why the f*** is there not a power outlet on the dash (or have I missed it?), gearchange and seating position are massively improved, electric PAS is fine. First...

Yesterday evening I waved goodbye to this and said hello to this then spent a late night working on the wife so I could take it here first thing this morning and have spent the entire day doing this H_XIFsmRDGo Last lap of the day...have barely touched what it can do yet, can't wait...

I've finally grown up/wimped out. Much as I thought i'd never say it, I want something standard, something I can stick the girls in the back of with ease, something with real world pace...not just track pace, and fun thrown in as well. I'm taking the Ignis around Goodwood next weekend, and the...

Useful thread, has almost convinced me that when the Ignis finally goes, a non-cupped 200 will replace it. I do 50 miles each day on country B-roads, lots of dips, crests, and lumpy/crumbly tarmac, cup or not cupped? Hmm.

You need my car...watch this space...will be up in the for sale forum soon :approve:

I've a massive soft spot for these...my first ever track outing was in one...simply epic noise.

I've had mine almost eight years from new now. It's been relentlessly thrashed, bumped and scraped a few times, stolen, recovered, but still gives me the James May fizz every time it gets wrung out. I'll never grow out of it.

B*llocks. Something is failing then. How easy a fix are they?

Yes. I have a set with 205/50/15 track rubber on. No rubbing. Lovely.

If you're buying it to drive it, get a 182. If you're buying it to own it, get a 172.

Wow...excellent work!!!

Any pics of it on track?

LOL at the bucket seat abuse. They hold you firm around corners, no? So why is it only acceptable to fit them in a 1*2 that goes faster in a straight line, and abuse is dished out if they're fitted in a lesser model? 1.2s can also go around corners you know?!

T1Rs all day long. Squidgy sidewalls let you feel what's going on, and unless you're Tony Hunter, the loss of accuracy when pointing it at an apex isn't an issue.

It's alright now. Limiter works fine, and the electrical warning light I had has now gone too! Very weird.

Mine's running an ex-182 'box, so there's no speedo output on the 'box to run from.

It went limp when I hit the limiter, then once restarted was fine. Dropped into limp mode every time it hit it after that.

I know. Appalling driving, was getting a feel for the T1R's sguidgy sidewalls.
