tbh I dont expect they will be laggy at all. I've got a Celica GT4, which is 16years old and doesn't really suffer from turbo lag and my mates STI Prodrive has power as soon as you push the loud pedal. Turbo technology has moved on. If its done properly the only noteable difference will be in...
my 172 was bought from a bent dealer on the provision that the car had no noticeable faults without lifting the car on a ramp however had a 'warranty'. Paid my moneys took the car to a garage found a shed load of faults, went back and the warranty didn't exist. Trading standards did f**k all so...
Based on the first few pages of cars for sale section then asking for £3.5k is reasonable. All the sports that are less than this are 172's which is a different 'lower' model, i dont see the issue with you trying to get enough money to buy a decent car back if yours was well looked after. I dont...
You dont need to read the profile, neat little thing just under your username plus the epic stupidity of believing that he would pop on and say he was just pulling a quick 3 pointer on dual carriageway with a centre barrier...
test drive the 197, I preferred it to the 172 :) By comparison to the 172 it had endless grip and I had a lot more confidence with it in the corners. I found it to be a comfier ride personally however I also found the Recaro's much much comfier than the standard seats :)
Red + Nissan turbo... And all this time I thought you hated my 200 ;) Shame about the off in the black shell. I'll keep reading though I like this project mate
i dont suppose you went to cross lane MOT centre? If not where did you go in Radcliffe? And why didn't I see the car, I think I like it more than the illiams haha
I think that the 197 was better on fuel than my GT4 still, but definitely worse than a 1*2. I'm getting about 300 miles to a full tank, and a full tank is costing me £90 :dapprove:
The dynamique clio's are a renault clio sport 1.2 dynamique so unfortunately it is a sport model, however it never made a difference when I used to have 1 on the insurance...
I've not seen a thread on here by a rep yet. I know it probably clashes with Le Mans for those of you guys who are going there but who from the NW is going to FCS this year? Also who is going on the Saturday and who's going on the Sunday? If there are people who havent yet booked and are...
Something like that yeah, come off at huddersfield and maybe go towards a pub in huddersfield/brighouse?
The Type R was being a hero and trying to show off on the video, its actually a pretty decent road provided you dont go at it like a t**t..
What about a run over saddleworth moors into yorkshire? Its a pretty good run and the police haven't slowed it down (yet)... It was the road that the EK9 Type R rolled up a hill at a pistonheads meet IIRC
Not that I'm intentionally nitpicking, but the 7.0 Cobra was the mk3. The original was a 4.3 ;) I agree though they're fcuking awesome!

The gearbox isn't too bad but it wont handle a big power hike, which isn't too much of a problem though as engine mods on it are very rare and also seriously expensive.
I enjoyed having one for the day, but I was happier when I got back in my Ignis it was I guess the same argument as on here...
The engine in them is a Suzuki M16a engine, not a Toyota one ;) Still bomb proof though.
Nice car mate, I nearly bought one after I had an ignis but I went for a 197 instead haha
Re: The clio's replacement...
To get it rebuilt its about £320 just to rebuild 3rd so its a potential mine field because once its opened up there will probably be more that needs doing. There are plenty of used boxes about for between £250-300 so thats what I'll be doing and then about £350 to...
Re: The clio's replacement...
it'll be about £600 to make it good and maybe a grand to make it mint so not too bad tbh. The 13 will be atleast stage 2 when its back so much better haha
