definitely worth trying to get a run in one, I never rated them at all then my centr box failed and I didn't want a flat spot so akra seemed like the option at the time without getting a remap which soon added up to the same sort of cash!
driving about its not much louder than standard and on...
akrapovic would finish that off lovely, they don't sound all that in videos but in real life they are the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard. I never got over mine after I sold the car! I'll probably have another 200 just to get one again!!
there is a big difference between a freshly rebuilt (or new) set of sachs and the performance of them after many thousand miles and with one leaking though!
buy the cheapest one you can find, being digital an HDMI cable will either work or not work, not like a scart cable for example where different cables gave different quality picture.
personally id say while the clio is the better car dynamically I think the 182 would feel like a downgrade, id be looking at a 200 if you fancy a swap to a clio, least you still get the 182 thrills with an even better chassis, better brakes and still have that modern feel
they are holding money but hardly an investment, I thought mine was fairly priced when I got it a couple of years ago for £5k, standard with 50k miles. ive since spent 2x services, brakes, 2x tyres and its now due a belt change so there goes a grand-£1500, and ive done probably 5k in it, if that...
not worth spending any more than a remap. Ive used Superchips Bluefin on my last 3, good gains, reliable, do it yourself with the touch of a button. 106's shift when you change the mapping on them and unleash the extra torque, especially about town! as with tuned diesels though they always feel...
R27 wasted my love for the Trophy too. ive since shifted the R27 on as I couldn't be arsed with the cost of them every time they need something doing but imo they feel just as special to drive as the trophy.
I'm considering selling mine on too, i fancy building something like an F4RT mk2 or mk3...
my DynS DCi90 is absolutely perfect apart from one area, its too slow! 220trophy would be perfect lol I couldn't bring myself to fork out the extra £10k for one when both had delivery miles!!!
i miss they days. I was at Crail a few months back and it was all boys in brand new golf R/S3's etc running 11s or better on road tyres, full interior because they threw a wedge of cash at it, turn up, engage launch control, car launches its self, changes gear its self, get time and brag about...
depends on what you look for in a car, I loved the mk4 clio was a nice step up over the mk3 in refinement, build quality, 5 doors was ideal but after using my mrs one a few times the stereo/medianav was just a deal breaker for me, Renault now offer a FOCAL upgrade for it that adds an amplifier...
