^^ Ditto :) ^^

Looking forward to seeing the pics mate, I bet it looks crakin' :)

Thanks guys :) Mazda girl with "do you like it?" me - "It's alright", her - "Ah, shame you can't have one, it's not on motability" was impressively stereotyping. I had to explain that a wheelchair didn't mean someone was poor, or lived entirely on hand outs and freebies. She STFU after that...

I was gonna mention that I didn't think it really share much at all with the 197, but I didn't know the technical differences, so I didn't heh. IME the RS Clios and the non-RS Clios are very different beasts - this is in both the Mk2 and the Mk3. Dan

I went yesterday, It was well good :-) Lots of nice cars, I took many, many pics but the lighting was really weird - either mega too bright and white, or not enough, and not really anything in between. And then there were the crowds of people getting in the way and of course, as I was in a...

How come his headlights look crap? They're just the normal ones aren't they? I didn't want Xenons on mine, because they come with the god awful washer jet that just looks so bad IMHO. Stickin out there like it owns the place...

Just to add to my other comments - i loved my Vee, and don't regret owning it at all. I had it a year, and I think that was just right for me, as I was still loving it when it went, so all my memories are fond :) I would recommend them to anyone in the right circumstances, just so you've...

I have one, but an 07 F1. I love it and would recommend it to anyone :) The handling is brilliant, very grippy and composed, the brakes are also magnificent 100-0 in 4 seconds in fact. An 06 plate one has a years Renault warranty on it if you're unlucky enough to have any niggles - but the...

2.0 - it's a replica, a replica is a copy and the real thing has 2.0 badges. I've voted 2.0 - seems a bit pointless to make a rep without them tbh, no one will notice anyway, it's not like you're writing "2.0 16V ENGINE IN HERE" down the side in foot high letters.

Yours was a Mk2 iirc? Quite different. Not saying the Mk1 is worse, for the Mk1 lovers hehe, just very different. I didn't say it wasn't capable per say, I said it wasn't as capable as my R27 and I stand by that. I beleive Ali said he was most impressed by the R27 on track, and would be...

Looks great dude! How come a white Cup 197 stands out but no other 197 does? What about a white, normal 197 with cup packs...? What a strange statement. If you want to buy a pre-reg Focus ST, that's fine, it's your choice. Personally of the current range of hot hatches in the size class...

Well, as many will know, I was till recently a Mk1 Vee owner, and I replaced it with an R27, as I needed something a bit more 'day to day' and this fits the bill nicely :) And also, there were other reasons that I will attempt to outline now... Regarding the Vee, if you want a performance car...

^^^Ha!

Hmm, to be honest I wouldn't agree with that. The GSi was very good in the corners, s**t loads of grip and very predictable - it'd never throw you into a ditch unexpectedly. Ok it wasn't playful or anything, but as far a basic grip went it was very good. My mate reckons it felt more secure and...

Two of my best mates own and owned a CTR and an Astra GSi respectively :) This is the CTR here with my R27 and another mates Mini CS And here is the GSi with my old Vee and our other mates Astra Coupe Turbo The Civic and the Astra were exactly even, and the Civic is exactly even with...

I've had thoughts about swapping my R27 for a normal FF 197 because I have a really bad back (to put it mildly), and I've struggled with the Recaros as they're not half as soft as the normal RS seats - at the moment I have a cushion in there. Wasn't really something I could've twigged on a test...

Good luck fella, sounds like it'll be a bit of a weapon. Sure you're not tempted by an R27 ;) ? I actually had a vague thought about swapping mine earlier, I considered maybe changing for a normal 197, with the RS seats as with my back I'm finding the Recaros a bit hard and have to put a...

Thanks guys :)

I can't think of a worse wheel design (I've thought of 3 spokes, and Venoms already) - but I still wanna see them on a car, just to see how bad they really are - how about on a Lupo cos they're quite like, 'soft' if you see what I mean? Quite cutesy? Guess they're sort after cos they're...

If you ever decide you wanna swap the wheels back - I have cash waiting right here ;)

Some of you will have read this thread I put up a month or so ago: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=338339 I put a link to the pics in the thread, but never got round to putting any pics into the write up. I've since added a few more pics, and thought I'd just pop a few...

Rarity is cool, and too many fags are afraid of them ;)

Ah, well to be fair that must be an 8 year old car by now surely :) ?

Have you got a new one or still - Car: Clio 1.6 Si mk2 ph1?

I'd never seen the ring vids, so cheers :) I tend not to read past the first few posts of a thread as if it gets to 3-4 pages or more it's always just an argument by then heh :) Exceptions are obviously threads like the JDM appreciation etc.

Niiice, I'd own that :p

Vx220.org is great. Brilliant reasource imho, I found everyone there very friendly and helpful as well when I was looking at VX Turbos :) Did you find the first time you drove it, you opened it up and were just like "Holy s**t that's fast!!!" ? Please don't put a diffuser on it, they look...

Well done dude :)

Is that yours Warren? Has the Trophy gone? Spraying a Ph1 172 Racing Blue was a cool idea whoever that was :)

Awww dude don't start a thread about going out for a spirited drive with what your economy acheived was hehe :) Why must the site be going that way :( Nice pics, looks like a good place for it. Love the fact all the 197s that attended were red hehe! You needed a LY one to break it up a bit...
