I've finally grown up/wimped out. Much as I thought i'd never say it, I want something standard, something I can stick the girls in the back of with ease, something with real world pace...not just track pace, and fun thrown in as well. I'm taking the Ignis around Goodwood next weekend, and the...

Useful thread, has almost convinced me that when the Ignis finally goes, a non-cupped 200 will replace it. I do 50 miles each day on country B-roads, lots of dips, crests, and lumpy/crumbly tarmac, cup or not cupped? Hmm.

You need my car...watch this space...will be up in the for sale forum soon :approve:

I've a massive soft spot for these...my first ever track outing was in one...simply epic noise.

I've had mine almost eight years from new now. It's been relentlessly thrashed, bumped and scraped a few times, stolen, recovered, but still gives me the James May fizz every time it gets wrung out. I'll never grow out of it.

B*llocks. Something is failing then. How easy a fix are they?

Yes. I have a set with 205/50/15 track rubber on. No rubbing. Lovely.

If you're buying it to drive it, get a 182. If you're buying it to own it, get a 172.

Wow...excellent work!!!

Any pics of it on track?

LOL at the bucket seat abuse. They hold you firm around corners, no? So why is it only acceptable to fit them in a 1*2 that goes faster in a straight line, and abuse is dished out if they're fitted in a lesser model? 1.2s can also go around corners you know?!

T1Rs all day long. Squidgy sidewalls let you feel what's going on, and unless you're Tony Hunter, the loss of accuracy when pointing it at an apex isn't an issue.

It's alright now. Limiter works fine, and the electrical warning light I had has now gone too! Very weird.

Mine's running an ex-182 'box, so there's no speedo output on the 'box to run from.

It went limp when I hit the limiter, then once restarted was fine. Dropped into limp mode every time it hit it after that.

I know. Appalling driving, was getting a feel for the T1R's sguidgy sidewalls.

They're generally strong units if well maintained. Mines on about 130k now (lost the speedo at 107k), has had two trackday outings this year, and apart from one electrical hiccup it hasn't missed a beat.

Useless Renaults. Grrrrrrrr. Useless driver too tbh.

Gutted I missed this :(

Nice. Tidy. Swift. Purposeful. The rear facing shot looks epic through the Craner Curves [sp?].

Lows? Jump in with me Joe for half an hour and I'll show you why a decent ride-height is good ;)

On the road I'd stick with OE all the way, more than enough for what you could do on the road IMO.

Ha ha ha at the lathe accident.

LOL, you should all get together for a group handjob!

Yellow is too much yellow.

Good work, very tidy and smooth. WTF was in the 3 series compact?!?

Nice. Been doing mine this week ready for Goodwood on Monday...it's never looked cleaner but still isn't a patch on yours.

5:04. Lovely. An armful of oppo', one handed, and he takes another gear while he's at it. Hero.
