182 is more stable than a ph1. Most people seem to like that, I don't, personal preference. I prefer a 'twitchier' set-up. I'd love a Trophy and a 306 rallye in the garage.

It doesn't have the same set-up, the 182 has a different set-up, even without cup-packs.

I think the grip answers that! 182cup. Slower than my ph2 172 (the fella that bought it will confirm this). No-one has said the ph1 is a better car. But it is more fun, adjustable, faster, more responsive, lighter. All desirable to me. 2nd point is nonsense. An e46 330ci is a better car than a...

Have to disagree, having owned them all. The 182 grips harder, mainly due to the tyres and stiffer set up, but the ph1 as standard is a better handler. Easier to get the tail out, less understeer. The trophy is just far better than all other rs's though.

No point in going to a 182. Other than being newer, they offer little else. The trophy however would be an upgrade, loved mine. The only clio i shouldn't of bought was the 182.

Given that used car prices are on the up at the moment, shouldn't have a massive effect. If it's hideous as the pictures suggest, I doubt it will have any effect. It's surpassed the Hyundai Coupe as the worst face-lift ever IMO.

Have you found the trip computer resetting itslef?

Have you recently disconnected the battery? Happened on mine, can't remember how I sorted it.

Flol, only an indian!

Nope, you want something along these lines http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?menuno=84042

Easier to pinch though, and we live in Basra central.

Dremmel. Cut a ridge into the screw head, use a flat head to undo it.

I'd be up for it, sure Riz would be in "Der Panzer". Could get Fred to wear his Hi-Viz jacket and clear the roads in the Volvo!

Need to organise a few people for a drive around Malvern/Ledbury/Tewks. Great roads.

I'm sure there's a company that does cheap replica's of the F1's, much cheaper than from OZ.

No worries fella, in the garage at the moment. I'm in Worcester a few times a week, could meet somewhere off the m5. Just let me know if you want to try them.

Could lend you a set if you want to see them on.

Side note, the ride goes to pot on 16's with AST's. The difference when I switched to 15's was unbelievable.

They do look great on ph1's though, and resale would be so easy. I like the standard ph2 172 wheels on ph1's, look very chunky.

Came like that, straight swap IIRC

Is this what you mean?

IIRC, only non-cup cars were available as imports?

Fancy painting mine lol

I'll eat my clio if they bring the diesel out as the best looking, most aggressive r8./

Sky high redline? Not much torque? Might as well by a sewing machine ;)

Horses for courses TBH. If you've driven a DC5 and love the raw feel, a Meg would probably feel and look ordinary (as it dissapears over the horizon;)

FFS, I'd love to have that for a weekend. Reactions would be priceless.

Some dealers are pricks. Saw 2 cars recently, advertised with FSH, even checked on the phone before going to look. Turn up, both cars 30k+ miles, 4 yr old. One service in all that time.

Then don't buy it, simple. On any 2nd hand car I always leave some money aside for issues, if you can't do that you can't really afford the car (unless your lucky and it's absolutely faultless).

I've had 5, worst fault (other than w&t, brakes, tyres etc) problem I had was a squeaky aux belt pulley. Under £200 to sort. You could buy a new BMW and have massive problems. Do your research, check the car over carefully, be reet.
