I'd be interested to see if the Turini's are 4 or 5 bolt. AutuExpress's phot shows 4-bolt wheels. Might be good news for 1*2 owners....

Im sure Ive seen a Ford Focus with a Subaru flat-4 engine and 4WD. I think it was featured in Cars & Car Conversions back in the day. You'd need to do a lot of chopping and welding but sod it - the world needs more projects like this. You'd end up with a powerful 4wd car with a rather short...

try North West Performance in Northwich. www.northwestperformance.co.uk

Thats not a bad price actually. £15k and I'd buy it.

no, it didnt come with an engine, or seats, or even a roof. I scrapped in my Bentley too just to make it even more of a bargain. tw*t

Im sorry but I really can't get over the TWENTY THOUSAND QUID price tag. I bought my new 200 Cup for £13500 in November 2010. Is this Silverstone shagbag really £6.5k more car? For £20k I want Ohlins, Alcantara, Carbon Fiber, Cage, Harnesses, 9000rpm, etc..........something actually special.

marigolds are perfect for that extra bit of grip.......

I'd be wary of a mobile cambelt specialist - insist on it being done by a clio specialist or walk away from it.

On a 172 Cup this valve is set by the factory and is unaffected by moving the arm.

North West Performance

Id say that was a good starting point, but you should be able to get that down. Try and work out what the dealer has paid for that car and work upwards from there. I paid £13500 for a brand new 60-plate 200 Cup with Speedlines, no other options.

I guess most of what Im about to say only applies if you are still considering a Cup. I picked up a Cup in November last year. Totally standard apart from black speedlines. I have a couple of regrets: Spec the thicker steering wheel. I got the standard one and it's a little too thin in my...

I dont spend much time looking at the front end tbh. I prefer to drive it.

I have a 200 Cup and its the most balanced car I have ever driven. My last car was a 172 Cup and the 200 is so much easier to drive hard but still manages to be involving. The only things I'd do would be to get rid of the annoying chattering noise when changing gear at high revs and to do...

Do these f4R engines take kindly to being bored out?

Hey Chaps, The gearbox in my 200 Cup seems noisy, I think when its warmed up. If Im on a light throttle I can hear chattering and when Im accelerating or coasting down in say, 5th, I can kind of "hear the gears" - it just sounds rough. Is this normal? Has anybody else noticed this? The car...

severe wantage

I have owned four clios and my dad owned a total of 5 renault 11's

please tell me this is true? where can I get a copy?

what should I treat it with?

Does anybody know the part number for a replacement seat base?

I think its because the wing mirrors are not electric ones - they have the spazzy manual joystick adjustment instead. I'm guessing the thermometer was part of the electric setup. My 200 Cup doesnt have exterior temp readout either, which is a shame because it is suprisingly useful and I do miss it.

I must have sat on a piece of silicone-putty (that funny bouncy play putty stuff) and its transferred quite nicely to the white part of one of my 200 Cup seats. Before I go ruining the seat with all kinds of abortive cleaning attempts, does anybody know how to remove a silicone based stain from...

If a new column is super expensive I'd be tempted to machine up a solid PTFE or maybe aluminium bush-bearing instead.

The manager from the car wash is coming to look at my car on monday. If he doesn't feel like paying for the rectification works then I'll simply tak ehim to the small claims court. It was daft of me to use them really but it seemed conveneint and it looked like a fairly professional place...

thanks

Does anybody know who JD is and how I can contact him? I've looked through the member list like a proper stalker but can't find him.

haha briliant, how do I contact him?

Who is JD ?
