It's not nit picking if it's true! They are not as responsive as egear/dsg. End of discussion!

Nah, it's an auto with paddles. Different thing completely. F1/egear/dsg are semi autos, the merc is an auto with paddles, same as jag's etc. Nowhere near as responsive. Probably why I'd choose a manual slk350 over the amg.

Renault depreciation can be helpful lol!

Yes. Works brillliantly. New car every 2 years, no capital tied into it, and you're effectively paying for the depreciation.

Key word.

That offer is seriously tempting!

Tints are s**t, and a menace at night.

In harborne just now. Looks good!

Completely agree. That exhaust style just doesn't suit them at all.

That looks awesome. Prefer the front grill from the V8 version though.

Tbf, I would of thought the warranty would be voided on a car running more power. Same as if (for example) someone sc's or cam's up a new Clio 200. If the box fails Renault wouldn't repair under warranty?

Are people seriously suggesting that several year after production stopped, were seeing more mk2 cliosports? Really? What have people been doing up till now, locking them away?

Jamaican splitter is ace. Nice as ever.

Proof that you don't need big brakes to go on track;).

Have you not thought about getting something a bit older? Mk5 golf diesel etc?

He's not the only one with issues. Russ has had major issues with his, and it's under 3yrs old. Window regulators seem to be a regular thing as well. Mine gets the s**t beat out of it on a regular basis, and only after a 90k miles have things like ball joints and racks started f**king up (no...

The megs bizzarely seem to have poorer build than the 1*2's!

Will cost you under £15 for a new ball joint and a removal tool. If nothings seized it's do-able at home in under an hour. GSF sell the ball joint (renault won't supply it), it's a meg 2.0l coupe 1999/2000 part. I'll get you the part number tomorrow. After it's done you'll need tracking done.

I had this. You can feel a 'clunk' through the brake pedal some times? Ball joint.

I don't need to drive a robin reliant to know it's s**t.

No he's not. And you're hardly neutral on the subject are you lol. It's fwd. It doesn't have an LSD. It doesn't have revoknuckle or similar. If modern hatches, designed from the outset to have big power are deemed to need these, why would a 10yr old shitbox designed to have 170bhp not need them...

Spend that on a Clio, end up with a fast hatch. That will eat boxes and you'll probably end up selling within 12 months. Spend a fraction of that on yourself and every car you ever own will be faster and more enjoyable.

Great colour, just can't get on with that front end.

The 182 is epic fun. A genuine great. The megs not bad, and has it's benefits (space, power, tunability) but is nowhere near as much 'fun'.

Difficult choice tbh. I can't see you in anything jap (ie 370z despite the noizzzze). Leaves the slk55 or the rs4. The amg is nice, but it's auto (not even smg!) and more flash than a porka. I love rs4's, very little about them that isn't spot on.

S3's a top car. Mate of mine has one, does everything well. Find one with the RS4 seats, and it's the perfect quick prestige hatch.

Was a joke. But I do love the maternal instinct of TVR owners/ex-owners. TVR's are like spackers. Hard f**king work, they'll never leave home, but you love the c**t more because of it.

No, it would be easy. Just pick the one that's likely to start. The clio;)

You can't run an AMV8 as an everyday car. Fin.

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Yoz exhausts are awesome. Race and stealth. Buy both.
