Rev in 6th equate to pretty much the same as the revs in 5th in my 172 Cup i.e. 2k rpm at 40mph, 4k rpm at 80mph. Bigger frontal area though so needs to make a bigger hole, more rolling resistance from 215 tyres, and more mass to accelerate up to speed in the first place. Get gready with the...

I've found this..under reads 2-3 mpg for me. Speed wise for me it's all country roads so peaks of 60-70mph but 'cruising' pace is more like 40-50mph. The reason I get such good economy though is that I never press the brake pedal...26 miles home from work the other night, and I gently brushed...

The non-cup 200 suspension is perfect in every single way! Except you don't get red calipers, nor can you brag that you have ultra hard cup suspension ;)

I went from a 172 Cup to a non-cup 200. The 200 is not as raw, nor as ultimately chuckable as a 172, but once you recalibrate your senses they are just as much fun, if not more. As for fuel...I haven't seen that much of a difference. Managed to get a genuine 42mpg out of it recently over 200...

You need black screw/rivet caps on them!

Have to drop out of this now. Gutted, it's a new year tradition LOL. Was planning on bring the 172 Cup and the 200. F***ing wife has double booked something. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. 1. Saner 2. Nick172Cup 3. G3 NYX - Deposit PAID 4. G3 NYX (Chris) 5. Sir_Dave - Deposit PAID 6. jicholasnackson 7. 8...

This was my first thought too. If I saw that on the road, I'd think someone was bragging they got a good deal on an RS.

Give me a shout Joe, if you need a leg, or any tools I'll be round.

Does the clutch work OK? If so, just do the whole journey in 2nd. I had to get mine home from Goodwood (10 miles) then across to Rentech for repair (35 miles) while it was stuck in second...only I didn't have the luxury of a clutch. Made my ears bleed but apart from that was manageable!

Yup. Except Silvervision bulbs apparently. :rasp:

Good point. What aren't lexus lights cool then? They get rid of that crap red lense look at the back after all!

No. I'm saying that the tiniest smidgen of orange on each corner really makes no difference at all in my eyes as to how a car looks. What about the red lenses on the rear? Why don't people get rid of that as well? Does that make a car look s*it?

My point...you missed it completely. A car has orange lights on all four corners...it has to by law. So why is it deemed so wrong for them to look orange when they're not illuminated? Because the masses say so? Sheep.

I love it. Proper stealthy motor. Give it a chrome grill and 99.9 % of the public would never know it was so capable/quick.

I forgot to add; Silvervision bulbs If having your orange lights appearing orange is such a crime, why not go the whole hog and do the red brake/stop lights too?

I thought I was the only one who knew how to use them! As above, if you can't see any cars behind you, use your rear fogs. If you can, turn the fuc*er off!

That's odd seeing as the website lists them as a Clio Renaultsport 200 as does the promotional material and brochures.

The soft toy hanging from the rear tow eye. 'It's individual init blud!' Of course it is, that's why you and every single one of your group has exactly the same thing LOL

Shame the wheels have been refurbed amphasite...does not work imo. Apart from that looks nice enough.

All depends on Goodwood...hopefully soon.

I feel slightly smug.

I've had my X41s for a few months now. As above, sound detail, sense of atmosphere and ability to place distance and direction is epic. Fabric earpieces are comfortable, and weight wise, so long as you get them adjusted just so, I can easily forget that I'm wearing them.

£70 for a gear knob? Serious? Looks stunning btw.

Apart from the two completely different door mirrors you mean?

This x100. How does blue paint and wheels make an existing car achieve OMG legend status?

LOL at all the 'wholes' he made.

LOL at France! It's not really the track I need to work on, more building the confidence to extract more from the car. It's been quite a while since I had any tuition, and the last one was all about the track...wasn't interested in helping me push a little more. You'd of course be more...

I want some of this free tuition you seem to be handing out! Expenses for a round trip for you to Goodwood?

Yeah but you're rubbish.

We're on the same page then LOL. I don't think I could EVER downshift without rev-matching either on or off the brakes. Whenever I watch footage of people doing it...I just wince/cringe and think of the clutch!
