Shouldn't, but that car looks better on the steelies.

They are actually quite poor off the line. There's a small delay when you put your foot down as the gears/clutches do a little shuffle before the car moves. So although the 0-60 looks good on paper, in reality it won't step off as quickly as the manual. Problem with all dsg's, even the new GTR...

VQ35HR engine, 80% new components.

I thought it was a different engine in the newer one's?

I'd be massively sceptical. Where's the history gone? How do you lose all the history on 3-4yr old car. May have been repaired, but may never of been serviced. Given the mileage, not massively cheap. My 172 is a yr older, similar mileage, paid 5650, prob worth 5300 now. For a track/second car...

Not cheap if it's fucked and is going to need major work. If it was a cat c/d with a proper history, no problem. But without history you don't know quality of the work, type of damage. Is it coming up cat d on hpi?

Wouldn't touch it. If going for a cat d I'd want a detailed history, pics of damage before and after, where work was done etc etc

Thats one of the best cars on here.

It's probably upset a woman has got in the wrong side of the car. Women, know your limits

Riz let me drive this last night, to help cheer me up. Awesome car. The noise is incredible, f**king loud, but awesome. Gearbox is so much nicer than the 172, just spot on all round.

DIY? If just paint damage, can't be that hard.

Yes.

Harborne High St, parked outside the Plough, about ten minutes ago. Looked awesome.

Don't understand all the fuss over white 197's, looks amazing in racing blue.

If you've still got this in a week, v. interested. I'll PM you when I get back off holiday.

Sadly I'm the one that the boom pisses off. Spend most of my driving at 70mph, seriously annoying.

I'm aware of the mechanic of which you speak, but I got fed up of him staring at my ass. Had a question actually, possible to get a slightly louder exhaust that doens't boom like f**k on the mway?

;)How much? Know anyone that could fit?

Nice one!

Some guy from Renault was interviewed in Evo a few months ago, said it would be unfair to compare the 197's to a Trophy, due to the development and hardware that went into the Trophy. Not starting another 197 vs the world thread, but I would say the Trophy would be more fun.

I think Andrew's deaf, his definition of quiet is quite strange! Bit cheeky, but any chance I could pop over and have a look at it one day? I'm round your way at least once a week.

Nice soundtrack! Which yozza exhaust is that? I'm thinking of one (mine's shafted), just don't want something too loud at motorway speed.

Harsh. The CS playground strikes again.

Still a bit silly. End of the day, if you're on an organised drive like that, and someone gets hurt, you are gonna get fucked in the prison showers (espec w/video evidence). Do what you want in your spare time, but vid's like that are just more ammo for the speed scamera lot. Not having a dig at...

Years IIRC. Last time it moved Fred was still in the closet.

Inferno is a weird colour, not a fan on the 182 but love it on the megane.

Erdington, surprised you got out alive TBH.

Who's doing the respray fred, onka? Should of gone gt3rs orange, black wheels, perfect.

Needs oil!

The M3 looks like a CS. Has rear seats (i thought the csl doesn't) and doesn't look like the duck tail spoiler. Could be wrong though.
