Looking mint as always. Not seen many pics of it lately.

Gutted I couldn't make this. Looks like you had fun though. How epic where the roads? Just to make me feel even worse about missing it lol

Ph1 has none of them Jamie.

Roy's right, 2nd gear onwards is where it really matters. Once they're spinning over 5K rpm they pull well. Below that they don't feel very quick or torquey. I've been told mine pulls well low down compared to others too, albeit probably not much difference, but it still doesn't feel very...

Clio 200R. Put the engine out of the Meg R26 or even Meg 250 in, along with an LSD. Would be the best Clio ever. If they said they would ever do that i'd start saving now.

Service + belts + engine mounts = £600 Exhaust inc fitting = £340 Eibach Sportlines = £70 Wipers, silvervisions and new nuber plates = £50 Other small things = £50 Insurance = £1350 Tax = £190 Oh and the car was £2400 Total = £5050 Oh and it needs brakes all around, a interim serivce and a...

Thats rapid. Like 10 seconds to 100. I need a SC in my life.

Whens it going stage 2 then ;) I'd rather have a R26 than a 197/200 any day tbh.

Flux where good for me.

Sounds like she's been had. There are loads of 1.2 16vs at breakers yards etc she could have got an ecu off or ebay as you said. Hence why I'd never let my mum or gf (if she had a car) go to a garage alone.

I'd rather walk than pay £2700 for a Twingo 133. They're not even fast, good cars but hardly worthy of a £2700 insurance premium. It annoys me paying £1300 for my 172 at 19.

I've found my sportlines fine. They're really not that low.

I'd be really pissed off tbh. Great little cars all the same though. Same block basically, just get a front mount intercooler, uprated injectors, fuel pump & turbo (pump only needed with dci 100 turbo iirc) , and map then you will be pushing over 100bhp.

Nice cars. BMW's spot on. lol @ schoolgirl gf.

I'd rather have KTR Coilies tbh. Re the OP: I can't comment on apex to drive. They look good though. I have Eibach Sportlines on my 172 and I have got to say i'm extremely impressed with them. Offer a subtle but noticable drop too.

I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole still. He has made a catalog of errors with the car tbh.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the 197 mate. Evo looks mint to be fair.

Nice motor mate. Get a davef induction kit on it. sound epic.

Sound advice Mark. You pay VED for both sides of the road so if its safe, use it. Thats advice i've got off some well trained drivers.

Biggest load of flannel i've heard on this site for ages. He's actually taking good lines imo. Aslong as there is visibility then there is nothing wrong with offsiding atall. It makes for far smoother, faster and if done correctly safe progress. Awesome video mate. Sounds even better in...

My trip computer will read 44-45mpg if you cruise at 70mph on the motorway. I've done this several times. Around town looking at 33-36mpg depending on traffic/length of journeys etc. On a decent run including having a bit of fun arund 38mpg is perfectly achievable.

Vee's possibly the best looking hatchback ever created imo.

Looks really nice mate.

Looks so much better with the cups rather than the BBS's.

Will be wheel bearings as above. On the RS's the bearings are included in the rear disks iirc. Not sure with the drums on 1.2's.

Love your Clio Mike. Not a fan of the astra though. Those wheels make it look like a calibra imo.

Maybe also because it was being driven at 1000mph everywhere too chris ;) I know what you mean though, bucket seats and no interior do attract attention.

Its a good idea to keep the tyres until you get the coilies anyway incase they arnt set up 100% right and you wreck a set of tyres. Looks a really nice example though mate. Really like it. You wern't in Lancaster in it the other day where you? Sunday night. I saw one just like yours on a...

I thought this was on Saturday. Dammit, I would have been up for this. The cat and fiddle in the wet/ice doesn't look fun when your running TR1's though. Ditchfinders. Looks an awesome meet though.

Nasty. Glad your ok mate.
