Clio's with loud exhausts are Chav. I should know, I drive one.

Looks tidy. Enjoy it.

Do a Honda K20 conversion with breathing mods. Probably cheaper and much more reliable than a 250bhp F4R.

Birmingham isn't far from Manchester, only just over an hour on the motorway. Fred@BTM is superb, does all the work on my car (except when the waterpump went as I couldn't drive 100 miles with no coolant). Never heard a bad word against Birchdown either.

Think this one is strong for gayness. It even says "TopQueer" on the front wing. My disclaimer is that the stickers were only on for Le Mans 2011. I miss that 5.

Re: A Mini Adventure ... This is making me want a Mini now Dave. How is it on fuel? My 182 has just averaged 42.5 MPG over a 500 mile round trip at around 65ish mph average, which I'd say is pretty excellent. I doubt the Mini would get near that but I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.

I'd do it. Why not. If he can afford to buy the car when he can do what he wants with it on what is presumably his land.

I've got PZero Neros all around on my 182. Best tyre I've ever used. The all weather grip is great. They really really cling on in the wet. I had no problem on snow with them. If you are breaching the grip available in the dry from them on the road then you must be driving dangerously. There...

I just hammer mine. If it breaks I'll buy another one.

Having literally a brief go in Boffey's AG 200 I would say my 182 felt faster although probably isn't, however the rest of the car is miles better. However it cost over three times as much. Can't comment on a 197 but basically just buy what you can afford or want to afford. MK3 is definitely a...

Re: New Car Thread It's clean. Baffling choice however.

Really cool Sam. Will have to come and watch some of your racing.

Re: My PH1 172 Perfect. Can I buy it please?

Keep stuff in your boot.

Nice motor. I should really get myself something like this instead of driving round in 98db Clio's.

Yeah, sure. Tell you what, if those gains are real I'll get one for my 182 and go out chasing down Focus RS's...

My ph1 172 would show 44mpg on the computer at an indicated 70mph. My 182 is more like 37mpg at 70ish. At the minute I'm only averaging 29mpg but generally drive it as fast as it will go everywhere.

Probably not however neither are most peoples on here as a lot run 3/4 plates. Who cares. Re: daytime running lights. Just don't. A better upgrade would be to get some projector lamps and HID's.

Not really.

I've been pulled twice with mine on and nothing has been said. Well other than about the erm, excessive speed.

I'd have one in a heartbeat.

I went for my bonnet catch thing today and had a sit in the Clio 4. It seems quite nice. I'd probably have waited for the dci90 with the dual clutch box. That would be the pick of the range for me, RS excluded.

Love that. Proper car.

Decent gains that. I love to be cool in the summer though...

Yes.

They look "nice" ;)

Nice upgrade. The dci is lovely so if the cup follows suit it will be a stunner. Enjoy it.

I like that.

Plate is epic. Nice car too.

To be fair a lot of people who buy mods like ktec's packages buy them because they think they're getting an extra 20bhp etc. If the quoted benefits of modifications was improved driveability then chances are they wouldn't sell half as much because it wouldn't give somebody false hope that their...
