Lusty is giving us all a bad name, glad I sold it when I did!
Its a Prospeed exhaust I believe. Maybe he parked it over two spaces and some t**t pushed it in. Or maybe he left it in gear and asked a friend to move it! Im sure he will be along in abit.
I put a noisy induction kit on my 1.2 and I thought it was the absolute tits. That is until you have a couple of mates in the car and you get undertaken up a hill by a mum doing the school run in her ford focus and you look like a rite tit because your cars making so much noise.
As Cat71 says...
Waste of time, silly backbox will just make it sound shite, IK with CAF we could argue all day some people claim it makes a difference others don't. The gains would also be so small they wouldn't show up on a rolling road.
Basically your not going to get any gains for £75
If you want to make...
Correct the Authentique is the base model but only has the 1.2 8v 60hp engine. The expressions have the 1.2 16v 75hp or 1.5 dci 65hp, they also have a sunroof, colour coded electric door mirrors, most have cd player amongst other things.
I have bought two 1.2 16v Expressions over the last two...
Saxo VTS/ 106 Gti great track car or town car, I however do alot of motorway work so I wanted something a little safer in case I was involved in an accident.
Im not saying saxo's/ 106 gti are bad cars, what with the price of ph1 172's at such a low level I would compromise.

I would class a Panda 100hp as a hot hatch, the original golf gti didn't have mega power and nor did the 205 gti and they are still regarded quite highly as some of the best hot hatches of all time, the same can be said for the 106 gti/ saxo vts.
A 1.2 16v Clio would be annhilated by a Fiesta Zetec S, a Fiesta 1.4 would also be quicker and on paper the 1.25 nails the Clio.
A 1.6 Clio is similar pace to a VTR maybe slightly slower, a VTS would be much faster and alot more to insure than the Clio. You cannot really compare a VTS to a...
Im sure when the first Clio mk1's were produced they were still making the 5 alongside it as a 'campus' model as they are now doing with the MK2 and Mk3. Must of had loads of 5 boxes and engines left over!
I probably wouldn't have bought that kit but it doesn't look too bad i guess, the wheels and colour carry it off nicely. Well done for thinking outside the box, its refreshing to see a modded 1.2 that isn't a bloody rep.
0% though, if you can sustain the debt then go for it, you only live once and if the RS is your main hobby you can afford the monthly repayments. Well thats how I justifed buying my car, although I have other expensive hobbies too :S
