    Not a great start to 200 ownership, looking at upgrades to sort the throttle

    am i the only one who finds it retarded to get a remap to "cure" a fault that isnt the normal behaviour of the car? at least try adjusting your driving style or compairing another car to rule its not you first! lol

    Just put down a deposit

    i got my factory tyres replaced at 6000 miles (granted wear had been accelerated on one due to arnold clark) but my 2nd set were probably 1k from being illegal when i traded it in at 13,500 miles. Driven properly these things demolish front tyres, my original rears were probably 50% worn @ trade in.

    didnt you need to get the bluetooth stereo to get an RS monitor as that just has the normal non BT stereo, also is that not a bit early for the RS monitor, sure it was added later on in the production date?

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    unfortunately it doesnt have climate or bluetooth so that ends my run of finding massive spec average cars lol!! altho the full pano roof couldnt have been cheap! and they dont creak or leak which is good, also when its open you dont really get any wind noise just a nice breeze, much better than...

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    there seems to be a lot of people mentioning clutch issues, the car uses the same gearbox as the DCi100 and id imagine a fairly similar clutch which i was putting 130bhp/190lbft through for 20k hard miles! i think its one of these internet roumours where someones been launching the s**t out the...

    Hi from scotland

    i think John @ Progrip is quite a bit cheaper than Hypertech? although ive never used them. John is only one hours labour to setup a ph1 so less than £40 usually

    once or twice from resonably cold wont do it any harm :p there was a guy used to go around stirling in a red 1.8 16v corsa SRi that word of mouth said was fairly tuned, my old silver 172 used to make an easy dinner of it lol!!

    Martin_172's Twingo GT TCE

    had it out a wee blast tonight as i was bored with no plans! took it down a few backroads and it genuinely handles really well, pulls really well, the overboost comes in at 4500rpm giving you an extra 5bhp/5lbft for 45 seconds in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, which makes it quite fun as you feel it get...

    your pushing me towards modding just to whoop your ass boyo lol yeah loving it so far!, yeah they were pushing injectors to near the 130bhp mark but now its found the 182 ones fit straight in, few guys are running 160hp+ but its not really known what the internals are rated for, an extra 60%...

    After all the hastle i had with the Clio 200 and me also wanting to get out of the car finance loop so i can start saving for a house deposit it was time to get rid of the Clio. As i still had outstanding finance on the Clio the easiest option was to find a car in a dealership and trade the 200...

    Britain's biggest ever fuel station opened today.

    agreed! although they will have a drop safe that the staff has no access to i recon so only be a few K available at any one time if anyone robs, better of filling up a few barrels and driving off lol!!! not sure on the small local guys running forecourts but i see what a certain supermarket...
