I quite liked the interior on the GT86, the leather alcantara option made it a nice place to be. Personally thought it was a far better place to sit than the Clio.
However for driving performance/involvement it really isnt cracked up to what people have made it, the Clio trounces it in this...
Surely you can't go too mad James with the castor, with our 172 Cup they have more castor than the other Clio range because of the lower arms plus I think with once our top mounts are fitted to max castor we'll be nearly touching the front of the side parts of the bumper.
Hassle of finding parts and modifying them to make it all fit, plus John at R-Sports words... 'The cup racer suspension is rubbish, after all it was just a generic/control suspension used so it wasn't ment to be good stuff. Just stuff that works and sets an even playing field'

Yeah budgie on here can whip them out the top with the engine still in, bit fiddly but manageable. And that's with no ramps, just a jack, axle stands and a bag of tools.
Personally I wouldn't go back to them out of principle, they want to mess people about then they'll have to deal with not finding a clio trader to sell their exhausts. May be a drop in the ocean with regards to sales but I wouldn't be going there.
Looks unbelievable Dan, whats the history like on the car? Pm me if needs be. Have a mega soft spot for the Mk1's, the arches and the engine caracter make the car. Something the Mk2's lack completely.
