i think it will be a "Better" car but slower and less chuckable.
as far as toyopops best bang for buck comment. i agree to some extent but its nice not to be a brand whore sometimes and stick with the club. if i had for example bought and LCR i could end up being a right tw*t ;)
my bros has some exellent pictures PM me if you want them. He has just added Octavia VRS Alloys.
he is running 195hp btw with just a remap and cupra intake. had a blat against a REVOd VRS and just glided past hehe its exactly the same speed as my slighty modded 172 now its bedded in. top car...
im emabarassed to say but i was offered 6k trade in price for my MKII 172 with 30k only late 2003 model so as you can see if i did trade at that price (bought for 12k) then i would have lost 50% value in 16months.
im just gonna keep. shame as i only owe 7k on finance now so if i they had...
yea only in purchase price though m8, and i agree id like a 260 evo but purchase price is only the start of the huge monthly bills.. fuel econ and servicing + ins and road tax are gonna be way higher on an EVO. so if you still wanted a hugely fast car with lots of kit and safety + decent ride...
tell me about it. I want a 182cup but i need to sell my current car 172MKII its got decent aftermarket wheels + standards + koni adjustable and its a late 53 reg with 30k on the clock im asking 7k now !!
absolute bargin if you ask me. but trade in prices are sooo tight and i cant physically...
lol sorry dude, if you had known about this would you have waited before you purchased you first 225 or the 182. you cant get the trophy otherwise you will have fallen rihgt into renos full trap more than anyone else..
my advise GET IN THE CUE !! i want one :p
Nice images thanks for taking them m8. dont supose you could get a wider interior shot.
loving the drilled discs. you gonna get one ? i know the trophy still wont have the same feel or cornering agility as the smaller 182 but you have to admit thats only at higher speeds. BBPT do simple...
is it your 276 scoob thats 4.9 cos a standard wrx is around anywhere between 5.7 and 6.1 in estate form. in real life that gear change is most likely from the scoob as the chav scrambles to get his jewelry out of the way.. 0-60s are cool i guess but apart from drag racing i couldnt imagine a...
hows putting a chav inside with the cripple hook on the go.
however if you want proper pimping and tuning hows about this 460 odd hp IMOLA 360 with bodykit and spoiler ?

yes.
buy mine. really cheap 53reg 30k miles. koni adjustables, green panel filter, tasteful alloys (bit lighter than standard) but all standard bits included.
you name a price ? il probably beat it
cool ! impressed then. ive recently seen a STI PPP 300hp at full chat and it was a very fast car however i fully belive you about handling belive it or not i saw it get a bit rough around the edges when i was pushing it on some tight corners it seemed to roll a bit then the back would lift and...
but people who pay full list price for 182s i.e £15k could go on the internet and pay 16.5K for one of these.
i much prefer the Laguna GT 205hp and nice red leather seats and funky dials. better for cruising around in. chip to 245hp for stealthy car.
you will still struggle with decent scoobs and evos as its more than just straight line power.. on the tight turns in this countries damp conditions on potholed b roads pulling 90mph around sweeping bends the tiny clio would struggle unless it had proper sorted suspension setup even then the AWD...
its in this weeks autocar i think.. its got a two page review. usual comments about exellent in gear accelaration. but the steering has a new rack and has been given less assistance and more feel. i think the front is 25% stiffer and 75% stiffer (!) at the rear although it still uses the same...
can you still get the chip ? if not whats the alternative if you have induction, exhaust (sportscat/decat) for remapping. where would you get it done ? could GDI do this ?
just like to add .. when accelarating im getting more grip in a straight line ? this has reduced the engine banging is was getting when flooring it to a point where its hard to invoke and in tern the car seems to accelarate faster :cool: but this is probably what all suspension kits do.
