LOL, I know, I know. At least it gives them all somewhere to hangout while comparing their respective awesomeness and laughing pitifully at normal non-Mac owning imbeciles.
LOL at asking for opinions...then people getting upset when someone gives them exactly that...an opinion!
You'll get used to Ali, he's an acquired taste...

This thread has now achieved 'legendary' status.
Doing the same job, I'd probably do exactly the same myself though.
I've had Police attention twice in all the time I've had my Clio.
1st time I got the matrix board in the rear window of an unmarked estate flash up 'SLOW DOWN' as I was making progress along a DC behind him...so I promptly backed off.
Second time was blue lights after I gave it almost full...
Mine made it to 7 years and 125k miles before it started to make noises. Oil has been changed every 6k miles from new without fail.
It's very extremely worth it.
In 125k miles from new, my Cup has worn brand spanking off the shelf new tyres only twice. Those it was fitted with at the factory, and it's first set of replacements.
Since then, all of the road and track tyres I've used/tried have been second hand, and 95% have been bought from members on...
It's not that bad...I'm a runt of a bloke and I can cope! As others have said though, if it were for a race I'd probably think again, but for road driving, or a 15 min session on track it is manageable.
Not really...mine's now done 125k miles and between oil changes (I do mine every 6k) it doesn't consume any, despite it living a fair chunk of its life on track.
Best you just keep an eye on it.
If oil is on the minimum level it needs more. Top it up and see if that cures it.
Remember, the oil light means low oil pressure, not low oil level, so everytime you see it, cross your fingers.
What about movement using a keyboard?
Are you just running or stationary? How do you get the analog effect of just nudging a joystick very slightly forwards to crawl/walk silently instead of running?
There's far more than just a few bhp on offer from removing the power steering...here's mine, before and after power curve...
As said above, is quite a challenge when parking. Had to run my Cup as a daily for two weeks recently, harness and bucket seat were more of a pain in the a*se than...
Cambelts are good for 5yrs or 72k. As your was done at 24k no need to do it for another 20k.
Save the money and treat it to a trackday. It'll thank you for it and you won't stop smiling.
I'm glad you're experiencing all this pain with the seats :rasp:
It'll make it so much easier when I come to sort a second seat out if I can tap into some friendly CS 1st hand knowledge.
I love every single one of mine...each one has made it a little more raw. Not the easiest thing to drive now, but each time out is an event that causes lots of smiles.
