Step up performance wise, in same class as Meg R26 etc. Think you'd like it coming from the 197. Similar engine characteristics, though the engine and gearbox combo is in a different league IMO. On track is noticeably quicker, though you could argue not as much sheer fun as the 197. Longer...

The same as what most my mates said. "Is that your girlfriend's car?" Lol, suffice to say, as good as it was, the Twingo is the car that I've owned for the shortest period of time.

Very very very small update. Was really unhappy with the paintwork when I first got it, so had Iain @ Finerdetails have a crack at the swirls. He's got i looking a lot better now. Just got through some pics that he took. So here they are. Would have taken some of my own as...

Ahh, the mods look great. Me and my bro noticed your intake in the left headlamp in the paddock which we both agreed is awesome, so was wondering if it was a cup racer. Nah don't think you were holding us up at all. Think there was quite a bit of traffic in front at that point anyways. I...

The RB 182 looked really good. Think my brother was driving when we were following you for a bit. Sorry to hear abt the clutch.... was your car originally a road 182 or is it a cup racer?

^^ Yup, bloody rapid too. Soon as either the 197 or 200 came up behind me, i was over to the right straight away letting them through.

Yeah i was there today too. Was a good day, saw a nice RB 182, silver 172 and a flamer. A nice 197 Cup race car and 200 race car were doing the rounds as well.

Looks bang on that. Even makes me kinda miss my old one.

Cool vids. Just watched some of Foxys vid of him spinning a couple of times, got me really worried now! I'm at Oulton next month in the FD2, and it'd be my worse nightmare to spin and prang it! Gonna pray that its dry when I'm there...

Looks amazing! One day I'll have to scratch the itch to own a NSX

You made the news on Autocar.co.uk! Thought I recognised it from somewhere..... http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/244522/

The LY Twingo is a one-off unfortunately. And if I'm not mistaken, that Megane 250 in LY is also a one off.... Because the new cars are no longer being built at Dieppe

Lol. Could be just yawning? As for the estate, looks pretty cool I reckons

Love it personally. Have Hyundai decided whether they're bringing it over to the UK in RHD? Last I heard it wasn't gonna happen for some reason or another.

Ouch nasty. Know the road well myself, can get a bit hairy especially when its been raining. Good job you both okay though.

Have you read Evo recently? They've bought a cheap TT 225 and are planning on turning it into a "mini-Veyron" with some choice mods. Might be worth a read for some ideas?

Lovely car, looked at one myself for a bit but couldn't find one in the spec and price I wanted. They make a lovely noise, and as has been said, are very pricey new but are absolute bargains second hand.

Prefer it as it stands to be honest. How about a bit of lowering and spacers? I reckon it'd look awesome then.

I own a FD2 but would love a drive in an FN2 at some point for comparision. I do suspect the difference between the FD2 and FN2 is overhyped somewhat by the magazines though....... I bet on 9 out of 10 drives you'd struggle to seperate them, its only on the last 10th that the differences would...

Looks amazing. Can I ask how much work it takes converting the pop-up headlamps to the facelift style?

More pics needed. Looks epic beyond belief.

+1 Looks epic in that first pic. Love the JDM DC2s. Currently trying to do the sums on whether I can have one as a weekend/track car.

Looking at the pics again, the Polo looks a lot like the new Seat Ibiza. Not sure I like it to be honest. Looks a little fussy all the angles. Which I guess isn't too surprising, as I'm guessing they share the same platform?

The GTD's are very nice cars, but the price is pretty hard to stomach. The Scirocco looks pretty tasty, but are those OEM wheels? They look a bit after-market to me.

I remember my brother telling me about how common street racing was in Hong Kong when he worked there a few years ago. I didn't believe him until one night when I visiting, about 5 Integras blitzed past us at silly speed. Another point to note is that the traffic police in Hong Kong is...

Cheers mate. Coming from Aus, did it take a while, and do you have to pay taxes when it comes into the country?

Looks amazing! Been thinking of getting one of these for my FD2, but can't decide on a Mugen or Gruppe M.

Did that old escort that spun make contact with the BMW?

You sure it wasn't someone off here having a laugh?

Cheers for the comments all. I did really really want a white one, but the colour that I have got now is really growing on me and I'm sure come winter I'll be glad I didn't go for white. Drove the car to work today, parked on the street. Finished work and came back out to find some nice...
