I'll eat my clio if they bring the diesel out as the best looking, most aggressive r8./

Sky high redline? Not much torque? Might as well by a sewing machine ;)

Horses for courses TBH. If you've driven a DC5 and love the raw feel, a Meg would probably feel and look ordinary (as it dissapears over the horizon;)

FFS, I'd love to have that for a weekend. Reactions would be priceless.

Some dealers are pricks. Saw 2 cars recently, advertised with FSH, even checked on the phone before going to look. Turn up, both cars 30k+ miles, 4 yr old. One service in all that time.

Then don't buy it, simple. On any 2nd hand car I always leave some money aside for issues, if you can't do that you can't really afford the car (unless your lucky and it's absolutely faultless).

I've had 5, worst fault (other than w&t, brakes, tyres etc) problem I had was a squeaky aux belt pulley. Under £200 to sort. You could buy a new BMW and have massive problems. Do your research, check the car over carefully, be reet.

Pro's won't drop 40mm, so you'll be fine. They drop 35-40mm on a standard clio, the RS is already lower than that.

Drive them both fella. Only thing I would consider with the Trophy, the rear bench. If carrying kids, I'd want to swap to the rear seats from a 182, as the Trophy doesn't have headrests in the rear IIRC. Probably £200ish for a 2nd hand set.

Out of curiousity, what sort of budget are you looking at?

A44 in Worcester are decent lads, I know a few that have had work done by them in the past.

Rear access is fine with the Recaro's. The suspension is designed to rebuilt, not replaced, it's £350 for a rebuild of both front dampers. IIRC standard 182 dampers are £100 per corner, + fitting, so the cost difference is very little. Trophy is slightly firmer than a 182, but miles better than...

Vee will hold out better. Expect to see a dip in the R27/R26 when the new Clio 200 and Meg RS are released.

So you could buy a much older Honda, with much higher miles, without warranty. Win.

DIY throttle body fix

Low mileage R26 10.5k. £500 stage 2 remap (320lbft). So £11k total.

About 10 months old.

I want a recessed exhaust. Was planning to go to prospeed.

You could buy my ktec stealth.

Like your novelty beard?

Can't remember everyone that can do this, but I know GAZ (not that I would ever recommend them!) do, and one or 2 others. Icarus mentioned that he'd done some research and found 2 or 3 other companies that do them.

Yep, but I've been told a few companies do (I thought AST were unique in that respect).

I've never been in a quicker 'normal' car. Incredible mid-range. Would hammer a Vee!

The GY are meant to be very good.

Track peformance isn't relevant if you won't be tracking it?

Def. 10-11k R26, stage 2 remap. Good bye!

Trophy kept with them well on anything but DC/MWAY.

How many track days have you done?

I blow hot and cold with DC5's. Just not enough of a step up in performance for me.

Weren't you selling the Clio because of parking issues? You change your mind more than me!
