I nailed mine the day I picked it up. Warm it up, redline it. Average 34mpg at the moment.

Photo's don't do it justice in all honesty. Stunning colour in the flesh.

They genuinely aren't!! I <3 the Wills, but you really can't judge Matt's car for how things hold up when going fast;). If you're billy gung ho on the brakes, 4pots will hold up better. But if you drive smoothly, they are a pricey ornament.

mintex are shhhiiiiitttteee! I got through 50% of one of the race compounds in one day at Bedford.

DO NOT WANT!! Mine literally fell to bits, and I'm not the only one that's happened to. The Ferodo's are great, but they need a wee bit of filing to fit well (avoids squealing). Brembo HC discs, braided hoses and a fluid change. You'll be amazed at the feel/response. There we go

Ya plank! Full leather from another m3 would complete that.

Who said anything about stiffening everything up? Can't be arsed. You just carry on believing that the 200 is a no compromise, clean sheet, money no object setup that can't be beaten.

You can. There's all sorts of constraints placed on the engineers from regulations, marketing dept, NVH dept etc. It will be a compromise, built to a cost. No arguments tbh!

Direct from Toyo: The R888 has a semi race construction (very stiff) and a race tread compound. The optimum tread temperature range is between 85C and 95C measured using a probe type pyrometer, and ideally a maximum difference across the tread of 9C. The maximum hot pressure we recommend is...

Sorry to disagree massively, but I do! As with engine tuning, Renault are bound by compromise. They can't go too extreme with the suspension setup, as they'd reduce the potential market for the car, and these cars are built to a cost at the end of the day! KW V3's would be a definite...

I could be wrong but I think the op does things like hill climbs?

So why not just buy a mic/remote, plug the sony's in and away you go? Or are you going to switch headphones if a call comes through? I'm lost. 10-4 on the cx300-II gooch.

If track work is planned I'd seriously try and push to kw v3's.

Just buy 3rd party as David said. Apple headphones are utter shite in my experience, you'll be paying extra for an inferior product because it's white lol.

Get some sennheisers and a mic? http://www.oddsandpods.co.uk/sennheiser-300ii-cx300ii-precision-black-stereo-headphones-p-40.html?m1track=googlebase#googlebase http://www.xvillage999.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=2549 Under £20, and no doubt better sound than the...

http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4875 Not actually that much info at the moment, mainly the pics above. Jamport are hoping for up to 300bhp on standard internals.

It's on clio197.net. I'll copy and paste it over if you put some pictures of your car up;).

Bic is having his supercharged by jamsport at the moment I believe, should be interesting. Madusa, have you got any pics of your car? Considering going down the black/white route.

I agree, but the geek squad will claim they can!

Iirc gaz fitted them to his 197, said it completely ruined the handling.

I'm with you fella. For the time involved and the outcome, what's the problem? We all know that given the law of diminishing returns this won't twice as good a service performed for £3.5k, but if you want the best, who cares? It's an oddly English trait to place very little value on a 'service'...

I'd willingly crash into that just to end it.

A lot more special!

I'm keen to see what they do for the run-out model. Maybe they'll find some excitement in a drawer at Dieppe.

It's an Alfa. Logic, screws, bolts, none will stand in the way of them breaking. Hope I'm wrong, awesome cars in a lot of ways.

Done correctly, nothing wrong with finance. Fella I know is running an S500 for £6k a year, it would probably depreciate more than that if he'd bought outright.

It was, but by christ it's a boring thing lol.

I think it looks awesome in pics, terrible in the flesh.

Lovely, but bits will fail! Going down the motorway a few years back in one, the entire lower dash fell down, no idea how the guy held it!

I wouldn't, because of the type of person that would want to rent a hatch out. I'd happily rent it for track days, where there would be supervision in the passenger seat.
