lol!

Its a satin finish,. not really sure what 'soft touch' paint is! I had mine redone with a clear coat, then refurbed the alloys. Only colour to have imo

SBV 116 off here ordered one. That took a few months to arrive, that was before they supposedly stopped making them!

You'll wait forever for that OMP!

Think they are different! (valved differently, they will physically fit)

For bullets i'd rather remove the bump strip, only needs a hard shove towards the back of the car, much easier to remove the bullet then. If you try and lever it out still on the car, i'd put good money on you snapping the clips tbh!

jeeeze!

Good work fella!

Indeed. If i wasn't on the breadline i'd have a downs car tbh!

At 19 i had a Nova :(

I love my B14's. Only running about 15mm lower than standard, awesome B road king!

Yeah, thats what i meant :)

Does it not sound 'tappy'? Sounds a bit unhealthy to me?

I'd put money if you raised it (coilovers?) and took the horrific stealth off and went o.e you'd love it. Thats how i run mine, and they are a reasonably nice place to be! Long journeys with low hard suspension and droney exhausts become very tiresome. This makes you hate the car. Its not its...

Why's it for sale, what you after next fella?!

Lol at the chassis. Springs/arbs more like. I've jacked all my Clios up fitted with coilovers lol

Fast road i'd go for a Koni/pro/sportline combo. V-max are at the cheaper range of the market.

Be about 4k from a garage imo. Or if you forget about the service, knock him down as much as possible, then take it to Birchdown :) My biggest regret not buying one with AC. Never bothered me before, but having a car with AC with it fitted on my 182/197, i really miss it. Ah well, few weeks and...

Re: my clio cup :(

Seriously fella, a 200 in your spec is not night and day different to a 197. You get the same slow rack, and infact, softer set up than a regular 197.... you might get a 'little' more low down grunt (1000 rpm lower) and maybe the ratios in 1st/2nd/3rd help a little, but in terms of feel i bet...

I sold my rear Cup ones for £50. They were pretty much new paid for by the previous owner. Win!

Oopps! The belts done in the NorthWest iirc.....?

I prefer this tbh 172 Cup 1021 kg ;)

PMSL! 20kgs at best (and thats debatable if it was specced with ac or not!)

Er, its a fantastic motor! Depends what you want, imo the MK3 does the day to day bits LOADS better than a MK2. MK2 might be more responsive on track, but is more compromised day to day

Yup! Tried and tested

Dont bother if its a daily, you only have to look on here to see how many people strip them, then get pissed off with them lol

You may miss the refinement of the 197 day to day i know i do!

Mk2 Alloys are Silver 205-88 (IXELL paint) That is the Standard 172/Cup Turini colour........

Hero imo!
