OH YES. That. Is. Proper. Tidy it up and you'll have a keeper.

That's exactly what I meant.

If you have a longer stick, the throw is longer because you're further from the pivot point. A quickshift shortens or modifies the linkage, rather than just the stick. So you could have a quickshift with an even longer stick for the same net result.

To be fair, for that difference in cost, I'd go for the Quaife too. Fitted with a nice warranty etc etc.

I'm not sure what you mean. Having a shorter, more positive shift surely is more involving? I've had a B&M shortshift on my Ph1, and then the OE setup on my 182. I'd take the B&M any day. As long as you don't rush the 'boxes. My 200's not got that issue, the shift's really good in standard form.

Long time no speak mate :) Great build, I've seen bits hear and there, but reading it all took me a while! Amazing stuff.

100% fix the lock. Simple job and you'd get what it's worth. It's undermining all you hard work, selling it low.

I'd say it would bend quite well if it dug in rolled in gravel. A womens will be piloting said car.

Jesus. Lv100?! I think I'm Sam Jackson for being Lv35. :astonished:

Great work! Looking good.

Safety first. Plus, being bolt in it it's not like you can't remove it when you come to sell. Does it struggle without a limited diff?

Wow! I wasn't prepared for that!! Easily the best Ph1 I've ever seen... and I normally hate Liquid Yellow! I'd love to do something like this to mine once it gets to that age.

I saw one last night on the way home. Looked very smart. I've not read reviews... well, EVO about them though. Depends what you want.

LOL. Nah, I love the 200 too much. I got Renault Friends & Family. Decent discount.

Ha! Fair. I've got a few plans knocking around for mine. None drastic, just want to gear it towards fast road a bit more.

Why? The throw is huge. Probably a good thing though. JC5 boxes don't like to be rushed. I'd know.

Spot on. The reason I won't be buying another new one. Luckily I got mine at a really heavy discount in 2012 when I ordered. It still hurts though. It'll be staying now though, I don't like the 250/265 enough to warrant the jump. I'll probably just spend on the 200 and pump money into it that...

Exactly. Base is £23.5k but Recaros, RSM2 & xenons (the options I specced) took it to £26k and that's without the £1.5k for Ohlins... or the £2k Akrapovic.

...or save yourself £5k and buy a used ST. Then call Mountune.

Will do pal.

Pretty much what I thought/have read in reviews. No one buys an RS3 because they want a DC2 alternative. Looks really cool though, great spec.

Yeah, that's why I've stayed away. That and Fallout 4. I'm around 308 light so not that high, but I could do most things.

It looked cool and old skool until you fitted the gashy Morettes. Other than that it's mint. I'd have not bought red seats either.

I've not driven an R, but other DSG-type 'boxes are brilliant. The Clio's is just really hesitant and hinders you having fun. IMO

I didn't find it bad at all; it was similar in weight and feel to my Mk3 200. Both electric anyway so it's mostly calibration. The gearbox is, and always has been the issue with the Mk4. Even with the new software on the Trophy, it's lazy, clumsy when you surprise it and just generally pretty...

That's proper. Awesome work.

I've not been on in months. Any of you lot on XBONE? I fancy doing a few runs later; seeing what's changed.

Just ain't care? :/

Driven both and the Trophy is MUCH better. I'd still have a used Mk3 200 though or a 275 Megane if you can stretch. I found that they felt like fast versions of normal cars, rather than Renaultsport of old, i.e. quite special, relatively.
