Your suggesting that you can put a timeline against suspension rebuild.
Thats the same as saying the tyres will need changed at xxxxx amount of miles or the brake pads will need changed after xxxxx miles, utter nonsense imo.
As for the comment about my mum, grow up mate :)
Yeah thats why i said maybe not actually.
I dont know why Renault decided they needed these mega expensive shocks, lets face it, is it going to have any 10 second advantage over a Phase 1 172 on a track?
I doubt so
???
So let me get this right, there all nearly 5 years old so they need done..?
Where does it say that?
A trophy thats never been near a track and only driven on the motorway with say 18,000 miles on it i wouldnt think would need it.
One with 30,000-45k on it thats done 2 track days a...
It shouldnt in theory fail, but they do need serviced (IIRC @ a cost of £500) Some seem to need it sooner than others but it certainly wouldnt put me off buying one.

Also running costs must be pretty arse numbing...?
Welcome mate, im over the southside of Glasgow :)
As stated, getting 200bhp from the 2.0l units is a pain in the arse unless you decide to go the super/turbo charge route.
The rough idle, is that just from cold or all the time?
The Renault Sport Engines are dog rough from cold, they like the warmth before you kick its hole in, saying that, a higher premium fuel may help this slightly i.e V-Power
Ally as per FB i think your a little scunnered with the paint work, give it time.
We have high expecations from the get go so wait and see what RUK say about it and start enjoying it :)
My only gripe is the lack of Xenon option and the lack of optic lens :(
The thing about the Corsa VXR is the fact its already lacking in cubic capacity by 400cc's against the Clio.
Yes it has a turbo charger and you can scream and shout about turbo lag all day but as you say Raptor, its quite literally too close performance wise to say you hammered/smoked/pulled...
