What a pile of turd. Rat look is cool on old hot rods that have been neglected visually. Rat look that has been added to a more modern car in the name of "scene" is truly ridiculous. I have never really understood why someone would want to drive around in a car that looks s**t on purpose...
Good to hear. Drain shouldn't be too much of an issue for me, as mine will be isolated by the cut-off switch when not in use.
How does the first one stack up to yours spec-wise, any idea? Listing for the second one doesn't look too helpful, even if the price is better!
How are you getting on with the JMT battery on this? Still ok?
I've been looking on eBay and found these two:

@EVOgone and @Pauleds are the men to advise you on rallying a Clio. Good little cars that can be reasonably competitive on a pretty tight budget.
That's what I'd do, but I'm biased.
That's the purpose of the internet isn't it? Arguing about everything.
Performance is only part of the equation though. Whilst it does matter, it isn't the be-all and end-all for many people. How the car makes you feel can be just as important, or the steering feel, or the ride, or the looks...
Steady on, I'm allowed an opinion.
You're right, I haven't sat in a Trophy. I have, however, driven a 200t and thought it was distinctly average. The Trophy is apparently better but I still think it misses the point. Renault tried to appeal to a broader audience but appear to have largely...
I expect this will be produced in very limited numbers and cost a lot of money for a Clio. That won't matter though, it never does with these kind of cars. It will probably end up being one of those collectable little oddities.
It looks a cool car but really it just shows how badly they missed...
I kind of like it. They're not taking themselves too seriously, having a bit of fun with it.
The perfect corporate nonsense that other manufacturers spew out is much worse really.
That being said, does it tell us anything more about whether they're actually going to make it?
Funny, I met Jamie at the Rally GB media preview a couple of years ago. He took me for a spin in his Swift, has a 2.0 Duratec Ford lump in it? He does seem to be a bit unlucky with reliability in that car but it certainly goes well and he is a pretty handy driver. Nice bloke too.
Sounds like a...
The class system is just bonkers at national level in my view, but that's a whole other story.
What kind of things were you up against? Good result either way, was it your first time there?
Thank god for warranties.
All of the gizmos that are being fitted to modern performance cars are rather nice but sod owning one when it's got a few years and several thousand miles under its belt. A lot of these types of car could become an expensive used proposition in the future!
I think changing to 15" wheels is a good shout. I did it on mine (went for the wheels off a Clio Williams). If nothing else, it just gives you a nice wide choice of tyres at a better price.
A set of sticky tyres, a refresh of all the suspension bushes and some decent springs/dampers and you...
