This. Chris Harris said it on a podcast a few months - car manufacturers used to innovate, designing cars and features that made things better. Relevant to this thread is the fact that Renault created the Espace, which was a really clever car. Now car companies are knocking out endless...

Plenty of nice options, but quite a few of the last Cup-S seemed to have a lot of options thrown at them. I wonder if there were a lot of dealer demo/manager cars. I did plenty of miles in my Cup chassis car and didn't think it was that bad unless you were on B roads. Lovely car, though not my...

Vodafone seem a bit hit and miss round here, but it is the arse end of nowhere I suppose. As long as it's not O2, they are utter dog s**t lol

Most important thing is coverage, depending on where you live. It's patchy as hell round here, so you have to be so careful. Who do Three run off now?

Welcome!

Bit harsh on the Focus tbh

Yeah they do sit nicely, and the arches are definitely the nicest feature of the 197/200. I don't know if they do the track days anymore. The R.S. range is a bit light these days.

I have a project thread, not that I have done a lot: https://cliosport.net/threads/my-rb-197.832299/

Just read some of the comments and you'll get a good sense of what the guy is all about. What an absolute pellet.

Basically the same thing lol

What a prick. If he'd just got out of the car when asked, they probably wouldn't have been so hard on him. His attitude stinks. If he wants to give people advice, maybe advise them not to speak to Police Officers like they're c***s. It will never go well. I'm not sure taking pictures of a car...

Hang on, didn't you just sell one of these that had had loads done to it?

This is a beauty. Good, near-standard Cups are only going to get more and more desirable.

Yeah that's it. I had a few warranty issues with mine when I first got it, which put me off, but once that was sorted and I'd done a couple of minor mods, I loved it. Really want another.

Love them.

Man I miss my Meg.

Abi's car is for sale: https://rallycarsforsale.net/ads/renault-clio-s1600-f2000-maxi-kit-car-ex-remy-risaletto-the-best-clio-in-the-world/

Everything should have at least 200bhp.

That's a lot of money! Could you use a charge cooler like on the older Legacy? Might make it easier. Is there much space up front for cooling bits? Saying that, I imagine one of these with over 200bhp would probably be a bit scary.

The trucks are much cooler in my view. Selling the van? What's it like with the Subaru engine?

Ooooh, a euro spec Rallye :cool:

Nice! Will follow this with interest!

Should be a cracking upgrade this. A really good step up in performance. Lower arms are interesting. I like the rod end bearings on the inner joints, but using them on the outers would worry me a bit. Have seen them shear on heavy landings when used like that, as it puts a lot of shear stress on...

I'm knackered then 😂

From what Nathan told me, it's going to be rather good :cool: Oh yes. The driver makes such a huge difference, especially at the level most of us compete at, as there is so much variety in experience and ability. I've seen Simon Mauger put a pretty basic 1400 Micra into the top five on a...

Oh, the one you mentioned a while back?

Steve Quigley's car was pretty quick. Don't know if he still has it. Abi Mahmood has a Clio F2000, so looks like a S1600, but has a 2.0-litre engine. Don't know much about it. Who is it on here that has @NorthloopCup's old engine? Didn't that end up in a car with a clicky box? There can't be...

It's hard to choose a colour really. White is a ball ache, as it shows every mark.

I'd also be thinking about a 197. A bit heavier, but getting to be good value.

Man I miss my Meg.
