Who cares what Mike's car is up for? I'd understand if anyone quibbling it was a potential buyer. On a car like that it's surely common sense to at least start high and work from there rather than start at a 'fair' price and kick yourself for letting it go 'cheap'.

Thats come up nicely, well done for manning up and having a go!

Yeah that seems ok to me. Local place to me charges £20 for the tracking alone

^ Lies, October I recall you telling me !

Just be patient, a buyer will come along. It's easily worth the asking price. Took me nearly 3 weeks to sell mine and I got the full price I wanted.

If I didnt have the outright cash for a car I'd take out a personal loan rather than go down the finance route, that way the loan isn't secured against the car and more often than not the interest rates are more sensible.

After any suspension/steering work you should get your tracking checked/adjusted whether you think it should be out or not.

Clueless doesn't even begin to explain it.

Must of left the bicycle at home then

Renaultsport OEM mats, headunit, colour coded dash strips, 172 gear knob insert.

Looks great. Hero's tyres too ;)

Have to say Saner's caught my eye at Trax.

What does he hope to achieve with that? Stinkin'

I'd say you're right. The difference with foam is negligable, just to some it makes for a more enjoyable experience, lol.

I can't say I've ever seen many chavs driving them, most chavs would struggle to afford one for a start as they seem to hold their value well. ST's a lot of criticism on here because theyre slower than a 172/182, big deal. They're a good overall package, nice example there too (though I think...

Thats interesting to know, I'll be in the same boat come April

^ Good advice. Painted bullets are a bit 2008 now

Touch strong, it's utter nonsense again. Ag shampoo leaves a great finish and cleans well, only issue is it doesn't foam. Unless he was referring to maxi suds?

You post so much nonsense - Maxi Suds is utter pony.

Why did you go to Clio Trophy?

Strange. What do you make of the MK2 wheel that could be used to steer a cruise liner?

Once warmed up I used to boot mine everywhere and it'd still return 38+ mpg. I actually found keeping it below 3k or whatever didn't make any difference at all to mpg.

What are the bulbs? Never noticed those side skirts before, they set it off nicely.

Underrated. Doesn't foam up well and feels like you're just using water but it leaves a great finish.

f**k practising on a scrap panel. DA's are relatively fool proof! I'd reccomend getting a couple of polishing pads, and Menzerna 203s or Meguairs 205, both of which are quite flexible and allow you to vary how much you cut. Lime Prime is a product worth having too.

Yeah shack a 197 up with some P.I. badboys hmmm

Can make a non sport look good without going down the rep route.

I would go the whole hog and invest in some KW V1's (coilovers). Steburns has them on his and from what I could gather, the ride was no different to standard, perhaps improved if anything, with even less body roll round corners. On the other hand my mate Russ put H&R springs on his 197, found...

Retro gone mad. 172 returned to standard looks good in the background :(

200 has grown on me a lot. Looks good in the flesh and is an improvement over the already great 197.
