Oh, I'd love to buy an old wreck and set her right. I'd love a really early 1.6 205 GTI. But I don't have the time and money right now. And I completely agree, but the only reason I'd have to buy an old wreck like that and do it up is because so many have been f**ked around with. If they'd been...
The other way I look at it is this, I want mine to stay mint and stock so that when I sell it on someone else gets a nice unmolested example. Look at how many older Ford Fiestas and Mk2 Golf GTi's are buggered because people couldn't leave alone.
Yep. BUT:
1) The owners will never see that cash again, ever.
2) I bet most of them that have had big money spent on them will be for the track.
3) The money spent could have been spent on a much better car (hey, I'm a Clio enthusiast but even I wouldn't spunk £2k on my absolutely MINT 172).
Grey wheels, spoiler, splitter and a slightly different suspension set up. I personally wouldn't bother adding any of that to the car. It's not really worth it, keep her nice and standard and keep your 2nd hand value. ;)
lol I don't know any hairdressers who could handle 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. Aha!
And you're bang on with that statement, RenaultSport cars are not about raw power.
A two minute eBay search shows up this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-BMW-M3-EVOLUTION-CONVERTIBLE-ESTORIL-BLUE-2-OWNERS-/250856210957?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a6832020d
Yeah it's much older and higher mileage but I'm sure you'd still dick on a 182 over a 1/4 to 1/2 mile in it...
Thanks dude, I think so too. The girlfriend wanted me to buy a Liquid Yellow 182 (yellow is her favourite colour, go figure), but all of them around here that I drove were utter dogs.
Quite badly. I reckon is was more due to the fact the car was parked in the sun so much over the years. Best bet would be to get a fast fit type place to check them before it goes off to the tester.
Clio engine is rated in PS, actually.
Bulls**ts per hour, I reckon.
£5 million is what a Renault main dealer will charge for a new ECU on a Clio 1*2 'innit? Or is that just for a new UCH.
My point exactly, and who the hell buys a 1*2 to immediately think 'muurrrr, this isn't fast...
