Damn your right, thats what I meant when I said EVO - vx220 turbo, slip of thr tongue as they say - looks good too!

I think both V6s look awsome and each to their own. The mk 1 is poor in terms of handling and performance for a 20k+ (when new) car. It was no quicker than a std 172 around bedford autodrome when tested. The mk 2 v6 is a certainly step up, however if I had £27k to spend on a sports car then...

So then 172 vs 182 nowt in it? Why spend the extra or upgrade?

Cant believe no one picked up on the fact that I was being sarcastic when I said I am swapping my cup for a 182!

What will you do when the proper 182 cup comes out?

Just part exd mine for the faster 182;)

I love my clio as well and saw the thread was dying with no repiles so said something controversial and guess what - popular thread!

er.........NO! None of us would be on here if we could afford a better car (v6255 owners aside!) Lets face it clio vs porsche/BMW/AUDI, whilst some renosports will match them on speed, that im afraid is it

Do what you like mate, you see plent of knackered up cavaliers with a turbo sunstrip! or motorsport addonrnerd across a fiesta!;)

Could you not stretch to the WR1, it is supposed to be quite a bit better esp on track!

Yeah cc only adds about 25kg Whilst it may not be a pureblood;) silver cups are rarer than a hens tooth and should command good resale values

Above is worth claiming! That is a proper accident, minor accidents do happen and it seems the mentality on here is to claim and get a few grand - Do people not get sick pay from work and a new car/repairs into the bargain, why do you have to go that stage further and put in a claim? I have...

Here, Here I was hit up the arse, would have been a piss easy claim but didnt do it, letigous american culture thats all it is Never happend years ago unless a really serious incident occured

No Ian I am trying to say that power to weight and grip are the two most important factors in the 0-60 launch. Everything you have mentioned above is trimmings and fluff!

Where did I say that? Im saying it is exactlt the same car as a mk1 172, with a different body kit, suspension, etc, this is irrelecvnat though. It has the same engine (albeit) differnt exaust/manifold It has the same transmission, gear boxes. Your fooling yerself if you think...

Ian the 182 is old technology as are are cups and 172ss, however it uses new generation tyres of which it owes much of its grip/dynamics too (as does v6 255). This is not a bad thing by the way but put the same tyres on the cup which is exactly the same car albeit with a higher power to weight...

Novas are great cars once youve replaced each and every part!;)

At the moment is just +trimmings, would love a proper 182 cup to come out though! MUHHAhHAHA HA

Ive only got a 2 inch c**k, but 20 stone to bang it in with;)

Good points Jon C, Whilst we may be narrow minded we arent as narrow as the performance capabilities of a nova with a 2 liltre engine stuck in! It may be able to keep pace with a 172 in a straight line but thats it! Std nova = very poor Highly modified nova = fast, cheap but overall very...

Dave182 Is the cup badge as std or did you just stick it on?

Fair play to you too!

Have to give you that one the turn in and handling on those novas is second to none:sick:

Clean16V you do make some good comments byt the words enthusiast and Nova should never go in the same sentance . Surely you would agree that a 2 litre engine in a fiat cinqicento (sp) would beat a cup! It just depends how far you want to take your tuning! Personally I am not narrow minded, if...

I also bought a shed load, only 2 quid off reno!

Firstly my sincere apologies for not replying sooner! Busy Sunday! Secondly have a flick through EVO, it is a car enthusiasts magazine, written by enthusisats for enthusiasts, go to the back pages and they rate every proper performance car. Whilst mostly newer cars are listed, space is given...

As I said no self respecting car enthusiast! Just because you can put a big engine in a tin box doesnt make it a good car when will you little boys learn that straight line speed isn;t the be all and end all!

Im sure it is but its still a nova, oh and you can stick a big engine in any car LOL! No self respecting car enthusiast would even consider driving a nova, only people interested are the burberry cap brigade

Yes some clios are sh*t but all novas without question are sh*t, they attract young kiddies, who drive around with no insurance and badly fitted body kits! - Generalisation perhaps but mostly true;) There is no such thing as a two litre nova! It stopped at 1.6! A 2 litre engine transpanted...

Elephant clio cup quoted me £750 Though this is with one minor speding conviction, oh and one massive (no third party) claim a year ago! I am 28
