Yes do! We shall see just not sure if i want a more 'refined' car as a whole. Dammit!

This will really upset you, going to test a CTR later this week (was a few years ago when i last drove one). I do like the Cup and i think the Koni/sportline set up is what i need, but i'm not sure if its the whole MK2 gruffness i've tired of.... like you, i've had a few ;) The 197 must have...

Nay bad for a 23 yo. My life sucks tbh :(

Looks ace :) What suspension you running?

Still toying with this idea on the Cup. I live in the sticks, and therefore do lots of B road driving. Currently the car is on Billstein B14 Coilovers. I sometimes think these are a little harsh for me (getting old lol) and i'm thinking the Koni setup might be more suitable? Whats the ride...

Not for me, colours are too flat, think it 'dates' the car also?

TSWTB19C25 12 x 1.50 Bolt 19 Hex 25mm Length £19.68 Exc VAT ;) Nah fella, just a bit of spit and polish lol

I wanted to buy myself, but after looking into it i have to buy with the gf

Yup! What you doing up here?!

No sorry :( Went to Tweeks to the alignment done, and while i was there whipped out a bolt and asked if they had any lol. They do loads of sizes. I can get the part no off my invoice if that helps?

Not at all. Calipers were Hamerite smooth silver (in spary form). The wheels were refurbed by The Wheel Specialist. http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ Refurbed in their code TWS sport 1. Good match for the the standard finish, i left the centrecaps as they didnt need matching.

Um..... Renault ;)

Cheers guys :o Lol, its in the shed. I sprayed up the inlets and guard before Steve @ Birchdown fitted the inlets, but the car is due an oil change in the next few weeks so i've left if off (and i dont have a deep 10mm socket lol) Sprayed my friend. Not a fan of brushed finish, never looks...

All Cups need tbh! Look spot on out of the box imo :approve: Well yes ish. I loved the 197, but this is a great motor for what i need at the mo. It feels well more brutal than the 197 ever did. I do miss the refinement of the 197, but meh, be reet ;) Cheers fellas!

Gave it a flick over today New bullets Quite happy with these. Refurbed by the Wheel Specialist in Manchester on Tuesday. Bought some new wheel bolts from Demon Tweeks yesterday to compliment them :o Nowt special in the mods department, Billstein B14 Coilovers, De-cat...

Watered down RS ftl :( Looks like an entry for a Max Power design competition or something :( :(

This. Wish i started saving years ago! I could have then bought a property a year or so ago when the market was on its arse. Still, you live and learn :( Something like a standard/slightly fettled 172 would be ok. Yes i do wish i had a better car, but ask yourself, are you trying to impress...

Awsome!

I used to think that, but to actually save 3k on non CS wages does not take a few months........ I just wished i started saving much earlier.

Exactly why i sold my 197. Do i miss it, hell yeah, but the Cup has the performance side so thats ok. I banked around 5k doing it, which all helps. It takes AGES to save. I'm saving around £700 pm at the mo and its soooo hard. Everytime i see a 200 it pisses me off knowing i could actually buy a...

Out of intrest is a MF setup for track or road?

Thats because they are cheap? Lots of guys wont spend circa 1k on suspension on a 4k Clio. Maybe i'm the fool lol :(

Designed to snap ever 2 years iirc

Exactly. A set of Eibach springs are around £140 (properly developed stuff). Doesnt leave much for the other bits does it?

Mint as always! Not a fan of the nipple ring though ;)

Looks ace! Was it a cupped car or not in the end?

Re: Trophy #433 Nice that fella. Think i should have not been so tight and gone to a Tomato after selling the 197 :)

AlLL 172's have the same spacing. 54mm.

I run a standard system de catted. Suits me tbh! Had the experience of x2 Ktec stealths and imo they are anything but (loud). My money would probably go to a Yozza/BTB Stealth :) Oh, and imo you will not gain feck all changing systems for a performance gain. I've had a few over the years...

I feel your pain. Been saving for over a year or so now. I could buy a 200/R26R outright with what i've saved, but need to sort a new house. Very hard lol :(
