It's a minefield. AFAIK it's a grey area, it's not legal on the grounds of mot etc, which is true. But, you can pass an mot with the decat on. So, if you pass the mot with the decat on (the decats not an mot fail, only emmisions can be), where do you stand??

Agreed. An old audi s4 would destroy all the above cars, but be dull in doing so. It's about enjoyment.

Grip, grip and more grip. Think the dci meg would be a great everyday car.

TT. Not a hairdresser by any chance ;)

4k in under a year!

If it's a track car, why bother with cosmetics

Keep the 1.2 for a year. You'll lose less in depreciation than the other cars mentioned, build the no claims up and buy a 1*2 in a years time.

Parked by the bed store, looked very nice

I suppose if your slipstreaming the car in front, not going to get any downforce on the front, but still get it on the back.

Think the clk did it 3 or 4 times over the weekend, M Webber ended up in the forest IIRC.

182cups are probably the hardest RS to sell, no real benefit over a FF182 with cup packs.

DSG:dead:

46sec in, is where a mate of mine dislocated his shouder coming off a moped.

I'd just come back from a midnight blast when I was posting last night. Hope there not still relaying the roads near you!

Not allowed to mention it:quiet:

:oi'm not mentioning the word trophy for at least a week!

Better car, not hot hatch. Each to there own, love the Trophy, but in all honestly I'd swap it in a second for a mk2 Vee, even though I'd enjoy driving it less. Think I'm turning into a Trophy-bore.

But, as everyone knows, should of bought an s2000 really.

I wish, parked next to a dynamique and mine's slightly higher. I defy anyone to go out with someone who knows what they're doing, on a nasty b road and not be blown away. Steve scared me shitless, I nearly asked him to stop!

Was not expecting the Trophy to be that good TBH. Drove Steve's 2-3 weeks ago, started looking that day for a car, picked it up on thursday. My dad's considering selling his amv8 for one. Ridiculous little car.

No, because a Trophy out handles a Cup. Flawed logic re lap times. A new model, with more power, close ratio box, wider tyres, wider track, better brakes. Shows what weight does. And TBH the reason I didn't bring lap times up is that they aren't that relevant, it's more about the experience...

Looks like vtec kicked in yo

Very similar size wise, and only 100kg difference between them. The reason the R26 feels chunkier to drive is the LSD, which is the reason it'll drop any hot hatch on a b-road. For me it's a no brainer. Need space and want the quicker car=R26 Not too fussed with space but want a nimble quick...

Then (if I were you) and you prefer the R26, probably between that and the Trophy.

Just for info, my Trophy's just about to hit 50k. Unexpectedly, it hasn't self destructed mission impossible style. In fact, I'd wager a 182 with half the miles would struggle to keep up on a B road.

If you've driven the R's, which of those do you prefer.

Think the new tomtom's can do this, ask on pocketgpsworld.com

Can of worms. Drive them. I love my Trophy, think the fact it can lap quicker than an R27 (which has more power, closer ratios, wider track, wider tyres, far better brakes) shows how effective the suspension changes are. Not had a good enough strop in an R26 to compare, but for me the Trophy's...

Got the part number?
