In reality, the Clio is probably slightly easier to live with on the road, thanks to the auto box and slightly less aggressive set up. I did 16k in a year in my Megane without any problems though. It's a bit stiffer but, for a hatchback, it feels pretty special. The Clio feels competent but a...

I think the driving position in the 197/200 is better than the 1*2 (not hard!) and the controls do feel a bit 'nicer' somehow. It certainly feels like a more grown-up, sure-footed car, which I think is partly down to the size of it. The trade-off is that it doesn't feel quite so urgent and you...

Yeah think the latest gas is pretty expensive

Definitely agree with this. Opinion on different brands and products varies wildly depending on who you speak to. A lot of people on here slate Gaz but, when chatting to Mark Fish, he said they are ok. It can be difficult to make sense of it all.

Come up alright that!

Haven't you ordered the big gay wing yet? It's gold, so will basically look like a Top Secret Supra.

If it doesn't end up with a wing like this.... Modified-V8-Lexus-IS200-07 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr ...I'm going to be disappointed.

A grand? That's a bargain. Would definitely keep all the ph1 bits. Nicer in original spec.

PM me some details if you like :)

Never saw the Jag in the metal, looks blinkin' mint in the pics though. The Lexus should last forever I would think. Come on, spill the beans, what's the plans?! Love the phone by the way ?

God I want those wheels...badly...

Ramair do a million-and-one different filter sizes, so you might be able to find something similar from them. Loads on eBay in their shop.

Aren't Ktec filters just Ramair anyway?

Or buy this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Sport-172-and-182-Induction-Silicone-Hose-Kit/152585261460?hash=item2386ca5194:m:mojIqVWCLNHmFlWe4f0Ulpg The Fatty kit looks better than the Ktec one in my view. The long bendy silicone hose just looks really ungainly and unprofessional I...

It's a good choice to be honest. The Megane will offer greater thrills, but the Golf will be 90% as fun while being 10x better at the daily stuff. The Civic is just outclassed in this company in my view. A nice car, but ragging the pants off it to get it to move is precisely the opposite of what...

I would think they're fine. Just buy a good one and make sure you get some rust protection on it. There are plenty out there to choose from, so should be possible to buy a solid one, surely? As a daily, it would probably be my top choice to be honest. Not as exciting as the Ford or the Renault...

Storm grey is such a cool colour on these.

For those looking in the £7-8k category, a Meg 250 is surely going to be the car to have in the coming years. Not too many in that price bracket yet, but getting there now. Quality is a big step-up from the MK2 and a brilliant drive. As standard, the Megane doesn't sound great, but a mid box...

Those Seats are good value, but god are they ugly. The A4 of that era is a nice looking car, but the Seat is a disaster. It totally put me off them. A friend of mine has a 130i. It's quite nice to be honest. Not very big inside at all, but it feels quite quirky with the big engine and RWD...

These get cheaper and cheaper and just look better and better value. So much car for the money.

Looks nice that. Feel free to sell it to me!

Can't wait to see some pictures of this outside on its wheels. Love it so far.

Don't listen to @Sunglasses_Ron, he gets confused sometimes. Cup spoiler all the way.

Let's face it, people only buy Arctic 182s because they wish they were as cool as 172 Cups ?

I wouldn't get too caught up with the idea that you need fancy suspension etc in order to have fun. I can absolutely see the desire to build the car yourself as, for a lot of us, it's about the journey as much as it is about the end result, so I get that, but don't feel that you must fit...

Thanks chaps. Not sure on the best tools to use but will try and find a way

Agreed. The BBS are a bit scene queen for my taste. I actually saw one of these on the road this week. A smart looking little car still.

Any pictures chaps?

The standard studs might just be pressed in, so could just have longer ones put in. Easier than having the wheel bolt holes machined, which could compromise the strength of the wheel.

I am sure a few people have done this, so was wondering if anyone had any pictures or could run through how/what they did? Appreciate it!
