This thread got super geek, super geek, super geeky.

You can't resist a good blag Joel...

Lol, yep, i'd be running. Reminded me of this one: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6419260689723508494&q=drifting

Worth noting that you won't get a discount on the Cooper Swhereas you will for the Clio. The Mini will cost at least £2k more to get a worthwile spec in any case. I believe the 197 justifies it's cost, because overall it is a much better car. The interior and overall quality exceeds the 182s...

No!!!

Hmm..pain in the ass then.

Interesting...but a shame i still hate the look of the new Focus.

I have a Cup plate and went past Swindon at the weekend, doesn't begin with K though! :(

OZs look better.

I know the Jenvey TBs are better than the Webers but if you keep air con i'd say it worth the compromise...or is this a 'custom' job to keep it working?

Some nice cars there, but think i'd rather pocket £100 and do a few laps around a Tesco carpark.

Gold star for you too! I really do love old school Ferraris, whereas i hate all new ones (apart from the Enzo). If i make any reasonable money i'd love a Dino.

Yep, Si is right, it's a 365 GT. I love them, it's a real shame so many get ripped apart for 250 recreations.

I'd be tempted buy a 106 Rallye, but you do big mileage and they are very unrefined. My mate has had an assortment of Pugs over the last few years and they have all been woefully unreliable and poorly made, so it might be a case of the grass looks greener. Could you stretch to a Lupo GTI...

Ace!

Peco..Sportex..junk.

From what has been said about BB Tuning i wouldn't touch them with yours.

Don't start a war Mark ;) It would be good to see 380bhp though...

I spy Reverie gear!

Like the VX lurking in the shadows... You've scrubbed the Clio up nicely!

No, it's completely diff to a Mk1 Clio. You change conventional springs and dampers.

Smallllll r****d.

That was a great numberplate!

Tongue in cheek my man, keep up!

Ouch. Being the pikey that i am i'd probably leave that lol. Obviously get the window done though... Remember when my window got smashed it wasn't until about a year later that i'd got every piece of glass out of the car!

Personally i think weight is the problem, and Renault are blagging. Speednz said it has been weighed at 1275kg, not much difference but it's still something. If you use that letstorquebhp site as as guide, the 197 has a slightly better power-to-weight figure than the 172 (with Renault quoted...

Slicks

The only real way of having a faster 197 is copying the Mini Cooper S GP theme. I can't see Renault spending money on getting more power out of the engine, so it has to be weight. I am guessing there will be a Trophy edition with no rear bench, less sound proofing, the Cup-esque wheels and...

I don't mind function over form...i think nitrous is cheating though personally! Surely that roof vent isn't providing anywhere near enough air? What's wrong the the side pods?
