Chip spot on as ever mate. I know its unrelated to this but as they were mentioned I've had green stuff and they weren't even up to fast road on my c2 tbh. Did 5 laps of brands for a laugh & they where smoking.

My 200 has only ever had Vpower. Mate of mine ran his on pov spec and his start up "kangeroo'ing" is a fair bit worse.

Would look alright with a proper grille on it. I don't know if i'd be able to put the roof down tho. It becomes a whole different concept to me when the roofs off.

The standard iphone weather app is w*nk lol. I use the Met Office one which seems pretty good.

Unfortunatley from my experience it rarely works out that way. Money can buy you a lot including fresh parts (Tyres/brakes/bushes/boxes/mounts/engines/diffs) the list goes on, which will naturally perform better. Not only that you can also buy advice or have someone prep your car for each...

Sounds like a mount. I have seen a few with knocking mani heat shields as well.

I would say from experience mate that for a "competitive" set up & a good go at it you'd be a fair bit over that. But we shall see.

This man speaks truth. Budgets tend not to incorporate shunts etc. One thing that would possibly put me off is the amount of novices it "could" attract. As for race licences, contact your local school, ARDS isn't all that expensive to do. Remember you will go through wheel bearings, bushes...

This could be good if it maintains good value as stock hatch does. I'd consider this possibly. I would of liked to have seen all the MK2's included. With regards to the 6 point cage, they're alright, but as previously noted I'd prefer more door protection if it was me getting binned.

I was offered one of these when I got my current 200. The paint worried me to be honest & wasn't keen on the wheels. Yours looks very nice tho. It's one of those car I like for someone else :)

It's not cheap. IIRC The excess on our formula fords we ran was over 2k alone plus the premium in itself. It is relitively painless but with regards to costs, be prepared to get felt big time. I would personally never compete without insurance, it's a dangerous game to play when it all goes...

How old the 197?

Nope not anymore. Given up with that one.

Yep Shaun is running an Astra in btcc this year.

Seen a few in there & Vx's.

Yeah maybe, but they do all sorts down there these days. There all good lads in there.

I've had nothing but good dealings with them. Each to their own.

AMD in Thurrock. Good lads in there mate.

Mine only drives mine supervised ;)

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... I spoke to a chap as Renault UK who said most of the Renault Sport vehicles end up in the UK we are the biggest buyers of them like 75% or something silly. The fact the RS will be a Auto is madness to me (which is what I meant in my earlier post about Renault...

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... The one I looked at when I got my 200 was like 27k or something daft. Nice cars tho.

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... The R.S one doesn't actually look anywhere near that beefy.

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... If that above picture is the R.S version as the number plate suggests, I am speechless. It looks like a 1.2 base model with spec'd alloys.

Not keen on the interior to be honest. I'll make my mind up once I've seen an RS version in the flesh. For the moment I'm not keen at all. Looks like Renault are gunning for a different market.

Nice write up bud.

I'd stick with the recommended oil whilest in warranty tbh.

I would tend to do both to be honest.

I'd say Michy's tbh from my experience.

My first car when I passed was a blue C2 vts. Wasn't a bad little car actually.
