Re: whay did you pay for your 1*2?? It was pre-registered but I wouldn't buy a new car anyway, so I was delighted £3K knocked off.

Re: whay did you pay for your 1*2?? £10,500 for my Cup with 49 miles on it. 53 plate, bought March 2004.

Your 1.6 must be fooked! I get 380 out of my Cup almost every tank. I tend not to drive like an a$$hole (most of time) and my daily drive is fairly economical. It's all about smooth driving, keeping momentum and relaxing. Bob Marley at volume 14 also helps!

Not worth any engine mods. Maybe look at stripping the car as you will gain from less weight, if feasible. Lighter wheels for the unsprung weight and then anything you can do without inside. Swap the windows for a pair of 1977 motor racing/flying goggles. Windows just slow you right down!

I need some too!

K-Tec racing may be the best place for you. Check their website. Not difficult to change the brakes but the fluid and hoses are a bit trickier. Don't want to c**k up your anchors! You should be able to upgrade them for not much more than the cost of standard.

Halfords or on some of the websites. They do not cost very much. Do a search on this forum for the best types etc

Fair enough. Then I would be looking at Carrera GT, money being no object. Clio as my daily drive.

That's effin' nasty.

Sorry, 911 would still have it. Gallardo is very nice but there is something special about the Porsche. The design is amazing, to go with the performance. The Lambo is too modern and square. It may sound better but I would choose the 911. It's maybe the most complete supercar you can buy...

It wasn't my comment. It wouldn't clearly leave the M5 bit it would eventually. Especially after 155mph, lol

Aerodynamics - 911 would start to pull away. Just a guess. More torque too

They are fairly expensive, as far as pads go. I think mine were about £80, if I remember correctly. The drilled and grooved discs do look nice. I am pleased with mine, looks and performance. The whole job for me was around £400. Best mod I have made!

The proper Cup - oneseventwo! Will look sweet in white!

Bammy Jastard! I would have the 911 Turbo over all of the above.

DS2500 pads with Goodrich braided lines, dot5 fluid works well, imo. I also have Black Diamond discs which do not seem popular on here but I have have had no problems and they work fantastically! So much confidence in them and the pedal feel is very good.

£400 for my Superchips chip and K&N induction. Sounds a bit better too.

I am selling a Magnex. Check your PM

I have chip and induction. Very little improvements - better throttle response and maybe a bit more pull lower down the rev range. I think you will notice a difference but as far as major power increases, they are only minimal. I didn't expect much so I am happy enough.

Turbo is fecking awesome!

Brakes. The engine upgrades are not worth it, imo.

Wheels are too big.

This type of customer service really does make me laugh. They must think we are complete idiots! I got Renault to order me a new exhaust, Cat back, and they told me it would be in by a certain date. I managed to locate a local garage to who got the parts and did the job for less than half...

I didn't realise it was that quick around the track. I read some reviews that were not too favourable about the handling and performance. Nice looking cars but maybe just a bit disappointing in terms of driving.

VTS with 206 GTi 180 engine

I think they are very nice cars. A bit different, like old school Citroens. Some of the old CX's, BX's were so cool so it's good to see they are trying out new things. Not the best drivers' car but very nice all the same. VTS is pretty pointless I think. They don't handle or pull very well but...

love that car

Knock em! Should get a bit lower than that.

Hate to see it! (and hear it)

A well sorted hot hatch. The way hot hatches are meant to be - light with a bit of power and handles fantastically! Cheap to run too.
