Becker, they were the go-to. But I suspect theyre not making them now so it'll be an eBay lucky dip. Alternatively, any of the Alpine range that shut their screens down when you're not tinkering on them is the closest I can think. But it's still not the OEM that OP is looking for

If they want OEM look, they can deal with OEM functionality then. I'm sure I've got an old 6210 car kit about, with the external aerial. That'll fix them up to be legal. And just be sure to reload the 6-disc swapper every now and again.

Apple. The standard Apple User will suck up any old s**t they turn out, and would rather be seen naked and covered in tramps feaces, than being within 300yds of a Samsung

for £100 I will totally rig you in an FM transmitter and a 12v charger. That's over 40% of savings

All the capability of an FM transmitter and a 12v charger..... for just £189.99? Bargain? (you did warn me) That's bonefide, decent HU money.

You're going to be very hard pushed. There were Becker units, but now they're gone too.

400% planned.

Full shell lightening > Megane turbo lump swap > full slicks > Aero > rebuildable, fully-adjustable suspension > 6-pot conversion > watching F1 for instructions

In fairness, at "normal road speeds" you may as well be in an Initiale DCi for all the difference pink bodywork and Sachs dampers make

Need imperial guard

It is indeed. Maybe it has a different function in petrol Clio, but yeah, that looks like a glow plug warning... AHA!!!! It doubles as an "engine management" warning light

Yeah, that's glow plugs

Going from what Mr @ForceIndia says, the increase in perceived control would give a driver more confidence to push, thus giving the opportunity for higher apex speeds. So, yes, there can be a difference "in hard cornering", it all depends on the driver

It's a Clio 182 Cup with different struts. That's it. Stick some well set-up Bilsteins on a 182 and you've got, pretty much, the same car. But that's not an entirely fair comparison, as 1 is stock from the factory, the other is aftermarket.

Yep. But that wasn't my point until someone waded in to defend the sensible 5-door hatch with a turbo on it.

Yep, and it still wont come to the sticker price of an A180 Not-sport AMG_edition.

Guessing that puts these plans on hold then? http://www.cliosport.net/threads/clio-1-4-16v-conversion-to-182-engine.805759/#post-11351079 http://www.cliosport.net/threads/how-can-i-make-my-1-4-mk2-2005-faster.805967/ Take this as a lesson, young sir, cars will kick you hard in the wallet at any...

Wrong wheel drive and poverty cylinder count. Would prefer @Scrooge's E55 and the remainder in the bank

Sell everything, emigrate to New Zealand Buy 90's Supra and go tracking at Taupo.

I somehow doubt that "The overall track record is held by Michael Andretti in a 1987 CART Indycar. Andretti completed a lap of the 2.5 mile main track in 1 minute 6.050 seconds, for an average speed of 136 miles per hour"

nah, you'll be fine. It's only when you're trying to download large files that you'd notice a difference, or if you wanted to stream HD Youtube to several things at a time.

You could get away with any basic landline broadband for that level of usage, although entry-level Fibre would probably be less of a noticeable downgrade. BT is the first place I'd suggest. Either just their Inifinity Fibre package, or maybe get the BT TV pack too. Give it a look anyway

then it's time for:- Plastic windows. Drilling out 50% of the plastic in the bumpers....because aero isn't a thing at all. Side-exit zorst (shorter = lighter)

the rear still looks like it's about to unload the Variety Club for their ball-pool session. But the rest of it is tasty

They were the apex of hot hatches...........a decade ago.

So far I've taped over every cooling vent, wound the wings up as far as they go, then filled the wheel liners with gravel

Ohhhhhh fuq Love the circuit, rubbish with it. Love a radical. Can't steer it. Business as usual

Congrats 2 Mantis. This month was totally my favourite car/track combination we've done yet. Looking forward to seeing what challenge awaits us next

So long as you keep it all on the roof, where no-one can see if most of the time. Otherwise the next step is a shopping list of parts down the driver-door of brands you haven't used.
