My F40 sounds just like that

It's so the other dogger's don't get bored.

Oh, and even if you do go for coilovers, the ARB is worthwhile. If you have to pick, get the ARB.

I'd get the ARB on the standard springs, then see if you need to go further. Or if you really want coilovers, sacrifice a track day and get some H&R's or Bilsteins.

Oh look. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?421985-Autoexpress-Next-Gen-Clio&highlight=autoexpress (that thread is from may 2009!!)

Again?? Really?

Needs the stickers for the front grille area as well.

Think it would look better with gloss black side strips and mirrors. Needs something to break it up.

Iirc DkMax bought a Megane because CS said so. Or they wouldn't let him have a go in a Focus. I forget.

I'd want to use both on track. I wouldn't want to use either as a daily runner.

2 massively different cars. Would depend on the type of driving you do. Although I do think the R26r would be a bit of a one trick pony, and the Vee has more strings to its bow. Assuming we're talking ph2 vee, ph1 vee it would be the megane everytime.

A lot of skill, time, and effort for something that ends up looking crap:(.

Do you have a cage?

Suede will be fucked after a while, but my aftermarket steering wheel was insured for road use.

Doubtful mate, it's the day after the night out for my 30th. If I'm awake by then it's not been a good night.

It seems sturdy enough, but won't know until it's been on track in all honesty!

No fella. My sister lives in Manc, so I'm up fairly often.

I live in Birmingham, but work in Worcester (opticians next to Halifax in the centre).

Following on from that, decided I needed a track friendly mount for the iphone. Went for this, not cheap (£50ish), but sturdy and stable. Had to use some rubber bungs between the arms to help it grip and protect the dash. But it works!

I wouldn't touch cheap coilovers. A good compromise would be the koni adjustable dampers set-up. Well set-up and designed coilovers should be very good on road and track. Although coilovers etc are far from essential.

They will all of been ragged!

There's not a huge difference between them. Late 172's had cruise, so identical spec wise. 172 exhaust is cheaper to replace when it falls off. Given the similarity between them I'd go for the best condition available. I'm selling a 172 soon, I'll pm you once the ad goes up if you're interested.

Imagine you'd have to be more cautious in the merc. Wider. Sounded immense. The CSL is a special car. The clk black is on a different level for me!

I couldn't stop looking at the garaged CLK. AMG?

I think most people took the mick out of the retarded purchase process, as opposed to the car itself.

It's personal preference. None of the cars I've owned from new have been run-in, all ran perfectly. The day I picked the 200 up, warmed it, floored it.

No rev restriction, but they do loosen up.

Please tell me Matt removed my underseat sub before he sold it to you? That car is f**king epic. I'll get all my track vids together for you fella.

One tailpipe extends way more than the other.

For day in, day out driving they aren't as good. But for a 'hoon', the 200 just doesn't reward/thrill/scare in the same way. It's too secure, too composed. But then a 205gti makes a 182 feel a bit boring, as does a 306gti.
