I have had 2 106 gti's, more fun than the trophy. Trophy is faster around corners but the gti's would be more sideways :). Up to about 60mph there would be hardly anything between them, after 60-70 ish the clio will leave a 106 gti. Would like another 106 gti but i arent getting rid of my trophy...
Yes they are both good. Just test drive them see what you think. My civic did improve when I fitted toyos, a fast road set up supposdely transforms them again. If I was to have another honda I wouldnt mind trying a dc2 or dc5. Cant see me getting rid of the trophy though
would be brilliant!!
G Ster, speed wise the civic and clio are quite similar up to about 80-100 where the type r is quicker. Handling wise, the civic does handle well, but its the electric power steering which spoiled it. So i didnt have the confidence in the car to go fast around a bend. The...
I had a premier type r and hated it mate, i love my clio though. Will admit the engine, box and general build quality of the civic was alot better than my clio
my old 106 gti used to pop bang and shoot flames when i put a pugsport and four branch on it, fucked lamda sensor realy helped :) I dont think i could put up with it again though, good fun when your in the mood pita rest of the time. Clio looks tidy though
The trophy dampers are aprox £1200 (might be more i arent sure) from renault. But if they do go they can be re built for around £500. The other big cost on the 182 is the cam belt, but they should of all been done now. I dont know much about the 197 and i have never driven one. I love my trophy...
Hey Sam first time i have seen this thread and i have read it all through. Looks good mate, i will lower my tyre pressures next time i go out on track see how it feels
I dont think i will be able to come to this :( I have never been to nando's so would like to see what all the fuss is about :)
It would be nice see your rs2 aucky, id like hear what you think of it when its all mapped properly. Il be honest i dont know much about them. Am i right in thinking...
To be honest mate i arent sure i never worked it out, i am guessing simialr to the clio, it was bad on fuel unless you lived in VTECH. All i would say is if you are thinking about having one test drive one first i wish i did, you might not mind the steering thats just my opinion but if i could...
It was the steering on the type r that i hated, it had no feel to it at all, i just couldnt get any confidence in the car. I knew it probably would go round a corner fast but i didnt dare to because i didnt feel connected to the car. The engine, gearbox and interior ( I had the premier edition...
i was thinking about one of these i like them but they are a bit old now and having a ep3 ctr previous it put me off honda. Looks a good job that you have done mate
Sell trophy tomorrow i would probably get a VX220 Turbo, my plan is keep the Trophy and get a VXT next year or try and save a bit longer and get an exige. I dont think i am ever going to sell my trophy
