yesyes, well done. I guess you'll take the kids and shopping out of the Clio before you get on track, yeah? :laughing::up:

COUGH Any MX5 with 6-speed box :cool::wink:

130 is about the top end of those engines, without serious $$$$$$$$$, isnit?

That's too good to ruin. Pull a Brewer, sell it for £300 profit and get a different one that's already sheddy :smile: :up::up::up:

What time are we talking about here?

If you're a smoker, who smoked in their car, they make sense. Otherwise, they just make for draggy body-parts that will make the first available bid for freedom

Good lad. Just stop spending money on it now, enjoy it for what you've got, then if it's still in good, unabused, order in a few years, it'll still be resale-able

mod 1) A full tank of fuel mod 2) drive it about as is mod 3) Keep your money securely in a bank account until you can insure something worth pouring more money into. Seriously though 1) put your coilovers on, since you've already got them....but remember you need to declare them on your...

There's not a huge amount of spare room behind the head unit, good luck with taht. Why the flip-out screen ,out of interest? Does it have satnav on board or something?

What was it like before you started "improving" it?

If it's free, absolutely.

Very true actually. And it can be a nice, discrete install

In which case, for originalitys' sake, go get a Nokia 6310i and car kit. It wont do MP3, but it'll be period correct

Find yourself £230 in one go. For instance, by not buying aftermarket suspension, thinking it'll improve the car (A common misconception) Instead...... :wink:

Don't think they do, no. But it's not 1999 anymore so don't worry about it ;)

Yes, but it also says 2005 onwards. SO, ask them. Or buy it and make sure they accept returns. Or just buy an upgraded head unit. They dont all have to look like Blackpool illuminations and will immediately improve your sound quality in one go. You'd be just a small subwoofer away (like, under...

It's been a while since I've looked them side-by-side, but I think there are some differences. Ask Connects2 to be sure, but typically they would only list what it is compatible with. No sense in creating returns and upset buyers

oh yeah, good point

That should see you fine for just music streaming.

Or, of course, you've got things like THIS

This is where having no dignity left to lose wins the day.

Do you want something cheap, or something that works? If the former, THIS If the latter, THIS Personally, I'd just get THIS, you can always put the OEM unit back in at sale time if you still think it's important.

:cool:

I can't drive

@Scrooge

Probably also worth bearing in mind things like the price of parts. Standard and upgrade. And the labour costs / effort required to do them. A Saxo may be easier to work on with cheaper consumables. Equally, a Clio may cost more for a new clutch, for example. Also, this is a track day car...

According to ClioSport, even a Formula 3 car can't keep pace with a stock Clio 172,

A 150hp MX5 is just as quick as a 170hp clio, or a 120hp saxo, until you're pushing down the latter half of Conrod Straight, and where are the cheap options to speed up the clio and Saxo? Of course, if your idea of "an MX5" is a 1.6 with peado headlights and a welded diff, then you're missing...

This. Basically. For £2k you'll have an actual sports car, not a shopping trolley with short springs. It's also be 4000000% more reliable than any french tincan you care to mention, fact. Any actual reason?
