Yeah I should imagine some of the R3 parts are quite pricey, plus all the work that's gone into it. Interesting option the Gen90 then, good that it's effectively plug and play. Is it very adapatable? So if you bought one to run on a near-standard engine, could you then easily modify it to run a...

Well I'm happy to give you as many £ signs as you like, but I can't promise that there would be numbers after them lol. Would be interested to know what you think the engine is worth though, feel free to drop me a PM if you don't want to go public. Interesting to know on the ECU. Always thought...

This. If you can afford it, and you enjoy it, go for it. Just go into it with your eyes wide open. If you do it, you will lose a lot of the money along the way. But if it's your hobby and you can afford it then who cares.

Also, have you removed the standard ECU entirely? Notice a lot of people run two (presumably due to immobilisers). Much work in that?

If you break it, you can give me the engine. Would doing a little competition in it spice things up? Maybe some sprints or something?

I have been talking to that very same company about bits for my Escort lol.

Yes I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was the shocks. Mine has started knocking quite badly and the ride is utterly awful, but the rear shocks have started leaking, so I suspect that's the cause. But, even so, I still don't think the ride is all that good on Pro Lines. If they hadn't been...

My car is on Eibach Pro's and the ride does my head in most of the time, think I'm definitely getting old...

Perhaps they should smash the guy that did it in and maybe set him on fire, see how he takes it... Can't stand this sort of thing. We seem to be breeding a whole generation of these kind of scum bags sadly.

I think Cit-Ren in Poringland are the only "specialist" in the area. They did my belt/dephaser. Had to take it back because the aux belt was squealing it's tits off. They adjusted it free of charge though. Not sure I would go back, they didn't seem that "specialist" to me. Just deal in breaking...

Thanks Mark. Why is there two numbers for it? Do you know the ratio?

I suspect it isn't, as I would think it would be from a five speed box, assume another type of JC5. Just trying to put together a comparison of the ratio options when you start factoring different final drives and the like!

Yes, can be a minefield. Someone I know (MattJB on here) bought a ph2 172 for a few hundred and it has been very reliable, whereas my £1350 172 Cup has had to have quite a bit spent on it, though I have done a lot more miles in my car. Saying that, parts cost pennies, so it's not the end of the...

Thanks chaps. @JamesBryan are those Megane ratios the one that people take the fifth gear from for use in the Clio?

Been doing some searching on this but not turned up much. Lots of people talk about different fifth gears and final drives etc etc. What are the standard Clio 1*2 gear ratios? Can someone just post a list of what they are, including the different final drives for the ph.1/ph.2? Also, for the...

Seems to be a few sump guard options about, but I've not seen any tank guards for these?

looks good that, should go fairly well. My friend has a boggo GTI that he uses for track days. Only cost £350 and it's been really reliable. Good little cars.

Got Conti Premium Contacts on my Clio and have found them to be really good. Hard wearing and perform very well in all conditions I thought.

Do like these. How do they compared with the 1*2s in Class F? Are they all pretty even? Wondered if the fact it's a bigger car might be a disadvantage.

They look very good. Apologies if I'm asking a silly question, but what disc/bearing will be used with these?

23% off the new price? Where? Not that I am a huge fan of the M135i myself. What kind of mileage would you need to do to get a Golf R for £250 a month? Most I've seen are more like £300 a month over two years. For me it's more like £350 a month because I do c.15k per year. The Megane Cup-S is...

I like the Kia, a lot of car for the money. I think the Clio 200 looks a right minger by comparison. I looked at Golf's recently and they are very, very expensive in my experience. For a boggo GTI on PCP it was £450 a month over three years. A Skoda Octavia vRS, which is the same car, only more...

Just read through this - I WANT this car!

I was looking at the Megane Cup-S as there are some tempting lease deals around on them, but they are pretty poverty spec sadly. Put the Climate Pack on and it makes it a bit more bearable, but I think I would regret not having the Recaro seats at the very least.

That looks ace in white Chris! Do you have a thread on it? Why oh why didn't they sell these cars in white...

There's some decent lease deals around on Polo GTIs. I'm sure I found one for about £180 a month.

The extra width definitely adds something, and your ride height helps too of course. Yeah they are definitely nice wheels. Think they would suit the Mondial of my car a bit better if they were silver. The paint on them isn't perfect, so I might have them powder coated some time perhaps.

Yes I did find the gearbox in the 200 EDC very frustrating. I haven't driven a Trophy to compare sadly. I drove a Golf R DSG last week and the gearbox was very, very good. Obviously the R is pretty pricey, but you might get a nice GTI for sensible money?

Are you running spacers Cub? Looks a bit wider than mine?

Well, with a new car coming soon, the Clio is going to retire from duties as a daily driver and probably become a full-time track car. The Turinis were in dire need of a refurb, and running 15" wheels makes much more sense for track days. I bought these a while ago and thought I might as well...
