Secured a cup rack (uber cheap) so will have the quicker steering soon. Still averaging 33-34mpg, that's calculated from fuel usage. The trip computer only says 28mpg, very strange!

Oft. Twatted that hard.

Best advice is to not bother. Not cheap to get any genuine power from them, certainly not enough for it to be a noticeable improvement. Buy a turbo if that's your game, Renault na engines are not great in that respect.

Is it a cup? Seen him a few times.

Slightly shorter gearing, and a bit more power/torque I'm guessing.

Watching.

Flol.

205bhp. Lol.

They aren't bad for those on a budget;).

Even for a Scot, that's bad taste.

Naith, you know my cars get driven how they should. I'll pm you a pic of my omp wheel, and the state it ended up in with under 6months of use. You like it to look well, the suede will 100% piss you off on a regular basis.

Just don't go for suede. Looks terrible very quickly.

1st off, Gaz are shite. 2nd, I'm sure there are people on here that would be quicker in a standard car (Fred, T Hunter come to mind!) than me on the KW's. I went past a mk2 FRS, damn sure doesn't make my car quicker lol.

Riz's mk5 GTi (3-4yrs old iirc) feels better put together than my brand new 200. Might be worth a pm if you're looking, I know he's selling up soon. His has full spec, xenons, leather, colour nav, heated seats etc. And it's fractionally quicker than the 200.

They were better than I thought they'd be, but not in the same league as KW/H&R/Bilstein. But that's to be expected given the relative prices.

Christ on a bike, that's s**t. Really, really poor.

Epic, given the post above. Christ man, spell-check?

Is this guy genuinely the owner of the business?:S Never known a genuine trader to come across as so dense!

Cheap coilovers are pointless imo. If the budget is sub £500 stay standard with the whiteline arb. Or konis, but again with the arb. If it's a choice of the 2, I'd take the arb over the konis.

An enthusiast wouldn't buy a 197;).

Line it up and use self tappers.

Next year I'm going to do both, I imagine the classic will be just as much fun.

Same as the mk5 Golf GTi?

Bang on fella. On the right road it works very well.

It's the ride, it's truely shocking. Far too stiff, in diffciult conditions (damp etc) most hatches would romp away from it.

100% fit.

I'm assuming you don't mean the windscreen too lol.

Ebc pads won't help. De 2500's, brembo hc discs. Make sure they've been correctly bled and they should be great.

An objective outlook on feel/fun/entertainment. Ok.

That matches my experience with the 200. It's easier to get the speed (on road), although I don't agree re the brakes. It's exactly the fact that it is easier to get the speed, and it's less lively at the edge that makes it less fun for me. I spent a long time getting the 172 to my taste, very...
