Holding onto it for a loooong time seems to be the best option. Eventually even the lowest performance models gain value.

Welcome @shigeo you have a nice collection of Renault's there. I have a clio 200 andy daughter has a twingo gordini so I can't fault your taste in cars 👍.
From browsing Instagram there seems to be good meetings of renaultsport owners in Japan, is there a good online owners club over there?
For a road car? Put some new standard top mounts on. I had B14's on my 182 and fitted pms mounts and brace and the only difference I noticed was the horrible noise it made crashing over the fucked things we call roads. I put standard top mounts back on and it was much more enjoyable as a daily.
This is true, but the average number of owners on an AG or Grey 200 is twenty eighty thousand because everyone wants to own one.
At some point in time any low mileage example of an old car will become valuable. Just watch the late brake shows barn finds, unfortunately it's rarely the person who...
£13k is top dollar for any 200 atm, and that's the sought after colours or raider specials which are very rare. All depends on what you paid for it I supposed but holding onto it isn't without costs. Plaster it around the Facebook groups and see if anyone come Knocking.
I've got a set of these on my 200 in the 200TW flavour. They did good on a tour of Wales in early September despite the weather being damp most of the time. I reckon for most daily drives that sort of tyre is overkill though as you do need to push on to get the best out of them and I'd feel like...
They've just obviously gotten carried away after no 1 sold for £45k. Maybe if it was no 500 and had sub 20k and one owner like no 1 it would be worth more than a middle of the run 50k example.
A lad I went to college with got pulled into a lathe and broke his back. From playing rugby to a wheelchair in an instant. Not how you want to end up in your 20's.
Single point and it's hopefully 1249.95/1250.00. The outer one is a bit bigger at 1300. The jobs a pain in the arse, every surface is has to be square and parallel to the bore centres to within 0.05mm. It'll be a miracle if the machine can get to double that. I don't even think the faro arm is...
This job is very boring.
I was hoping to have it off by morning so it can be inspected before finishing but at 0.25mm/minute it'll be still on next week!
Yeah they don't last forever unfortunately. I've got a set of cup dampers that were new on my car and ran for about 18 months you can have cheap if you decide that's what you want to try.
What coilovers are you on Steve? My 182 was on standard cup pack when I got it, and cooksports springs made it much worse. The B14's were like it was cup packed but with the ride height exactly where I wanted.
Why can't I buy a cool car like this?
Luckily the owner let me borrow it for a while.
I finished all the gigs last night. They weren't all very lucrative though, make sure you read the text messages!
Ooops 😂
Dino wasn't impressed.
I'm the same. My first time playing this I sat on my points and use them to upgrade when I needed to hack something or bust open a door. This time I'm fully invested in net running and have just sat back and and watched a goon kill all his mates for me and then strolled in and stabbed him😂.
I'm 154 hours in over 2 plays with the 2nd one 67 hours and main mission is the point of no return! Weapon wise I've stuck with the same guns for aaages now and have no problems, however a quick knife headshot is much quicker and more satisfying. Setting people on fire through a camera is fun...
