Yeah the mini is a good car, my real reason for hating it is because the germans made a success out of something that is supposed to be british. Then again driving a renault isnt very patriotic either.

Their jealous, all the hot hatch vw and cars made of reject vw parts have to be modded to do what a renault sport can. Probably grumpy about their increased insurance costs.

Golf t**ser caused the accident, his dangerous driving led to your unsuccessful evasive maneuove...there is a casual link. Report him to the police. I think it is careless inconsiderate driving or something under the road traffic act when a guy drives without due car and attention or without...

Yes hes not getting decent mpg. My cup seems to be fine at 1300miles, sips petrol although i dont think its making full power yet because my 172 cup seems more urgent in its delivery.

Is there someway to reset the ecu on the 182 other than disconnect the battery? My mates 182 is burning way to much fuel and he thinks resetting the ecu will be the solution.

Dream car .....Go for it!

My stripes are like those in the first pictures above. Why is it some cars have stripes that finish at the end of the boot and some dont?

They look well tasty almost like the rims you get on an exige s2. I bet it handles better thats all that matters. I want sum is well and id keep the originals for when i sell it on, where you buy them?

Where is yozzasport based? To far from london and i wont be able to get time off work.

The high driving position though is such that i can only heel and toe if im really pressing the brakes down hard. Its not like the elise where your leg is stretched out making it easier to do. So is it good to blip the throttle (when not heel n toeing) before down changes to make the change...

Still say zaino is the best of them all.

Those stickers look class mate.

Lighter mini but will it still have the z axle in that guise?

It weighs 1300kgs doesnt it, surely theres nothing in it.

If theres going to be no Fiesta FS then i suspect ford are pretty much out of the hot hatch game until the next focus RS. The ST isnt even warm. If you mod an ST your have to declare the mods to the insurance so no more cheap insurance.

Maybe some of them need 4 wheel alignment to improve things.

All cars have their problems, we are lucky reno soughts it on warranty. You wanna try owning a tvr (engine rebuild every 10000 miles) or a noble both have alot more problems then renos and cost a great deal more. Even all m3s from 2000 to 2003 were having engine failures requiring new engines...

Its not out the box quick though like an rs clio. Why not just buy an rs clio instead of a crap ford that needs so much remedied to make it decent. You also have a warranty with an rs clio so its a safer bet than a modded fiesta at the mercy of a dreaded fraud stealer.

ST all the hallmarks of a sh*t ford /excellent ford brainwash make people think its a good car ad campaign- quote evo says its right- "While the ride is indeed supple and able to soften the worst ridges and pot-holes, this doesnt go hand-in-hand with confident composure. Indeed, theres a...

They liked it because Fraud pay them the most advertising revenues. Give me a grand and ill tell you anything you wanna hear. I drove the last fraud crapola supposedly with improved handling, it was a gutless pig in the corners as well as the straights. Fraud need to stop kidding themselves...

In regards the evo/scooby argument, i think the spec c has it easily.

I know but i love getting people wound up.

I think that might be why the s2000 in the US has a 2.2 litre engine due to the narrow powerband of the 2.0 litre. You can get type rs for £15000 brand new from hondas-uk.co.uk however their parallel imports from the EU so come with 60k 3 year warranty as oppose to 90k and no locking wheel nuts.

Talking of the astra vxr its not even a 182 competitor, how can a heavy 1400kg astra be more fun than a 1100kg 182 cup. It wont be as good as the focus rs surely as they used the focus rs and civic type r as a benchmark. At around summer time the evo 9 will be here and barely used evo 8mr...

You are misinformed if you think a vx220 is better than an elise. In all magazine tests the 111r and the exige have come out on top above the vxr and vxt220. See martin brundles review of the vxr in CAR, I say no more. VXt is a poor mans elise and as uncomprised as it is the vxr is still...

Pigme1000000 were on the same page mate. Its like im fighting for my life trying to big up rs clios in this group. Its bad enough reading other groups sl*gging them off.

Okay they got history but who knows it and who cares. Walk up to people on the street ask them what they think of a skoda and 90% of them will tell you their all sh*t. Chop the roof off and you have a mobile skip with a chipped engine. Who cares if its quicker to get rubbish to the dump...

Even if it is chipped its still a skoda. You could put a powerful v8 engine in a bedford van but at the end of the day its still a bedford van regardless of the performance. Clio rs is a proper old school hot hatch with decent heritage. The name skoda says it all really. Why would any...

If its limited in number i think im going to sell or px my 182 cup for it. The 182 cup is stunning car, id just like to have the last version of this amazing car. I think the new shape clio will be heavier and not as much fun so im not likely to hold on for that.

Granted s2k and evo look crap compared to a v6 but their different things to different people. Most blokes want cars with a bit of go and under 30k its hard to find a car thats quick and that look the nuts. Only cars i can think of are from the past the escort cosworth and the clio williams...
