I'd need to hear it mate to try and diagnose it, but I know the manifolds do make them sound like a diesel.

lol he's a proper enthusiast then - they do have a dephaser mate, but they don't suffer with the problems that the 1*2 does.

I know I'm heavily biased here, but it is truly an awesome colour. In some lights it looks a flat green, then in others you can see the pearlescent.

I'm usually pressing on shall we say. Lol

As long as I'm getting spg (smiles per gallon) I couldn't give a f**k tbf! Lol!

Green ones are the fastest too iirc. :cool:

Each to their own though ain't it mate. I also have a tdi golf for mpg.

My old mk3 Astra turbo would do 200 miles from 50ltrs of fuel, even driving it like a fanny!

No lol! I just didn't know who the f**k you were when you posted in my thread over on there!

Ah ok. They had the crap ratios in terms of fuel economy compared to the later 197's and the 200's. More zingy in 1st through to 3rd though.

Ah hahahahaha!! Now I know who you are on 197.net!!!

What year is it?

Yeah but keep one thing in mind, I've done 900 miles in mine since I bought it. It was bought as a toy, so it does get driven when I drive it, if you get me. Tbh the gear ratios and the chassis almost goad you on too! Akrapovic helps as well. Lol

Driving like a granny will see 32-34. I don't drive like that, so 6 on track and 18 on the road. Lol

Two words regarding using one as a daily - fuel economy!! They're s**t! Lol!! In tric trophy the weight is the killer mate for the mk3. Chassis wise it's superior though, and I should know as I spent my time at one point making the mk2's even better. As soon as I jumped in the 200, you could...

Driven properly, a 200 is as fast as a 182. You just have to work harder in the 200. Show the 200 some corners and the 182 will be left behind. I've done it in mine a few times on road and on track.

Did you have a butchers mate?

It's because he's still not found a 200 to lust over, so you're having all his affection. 😂

Welcome aboard folks!

@imprezaworks not red or white, but a rare colour! Cheap at that price too. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192505317571

Well FKU was driven for the first time on Saturday since November 2017, as it was due its mot. Passed! :wink: Covered nearly 900 miles in it since I bought it in November/December 2016. Lol!!

The bar and the mounts are a piece of piss to make tbh. Bit of cds tubing etc, but it's the blades that are the issue.

No mate. Custom custom custom!

I'm north of 35 and can't think of anything worse than a megane tbf. But I have a mk5 golf as a (soon to be replaced with an f31) daily drive. The clio is only for hooligan drives out.

Yeah that's fine mate.

Yes mate

If I drove mine as a daily driver, I think it would boil my piss tbh. But that's not what a 200 is for imo. They only come alive when you can exploit the chassis and brakes. Then it all makes sense, and it's what makes me enjoy mine. It doesn't feel as raw as my first cc equipped cup, but it's...

You're correct mate. The helper spring just keeps the spring seated at full droop.

That's a bladed anti roll bar mate.

You'd be fine to stick with 5/40 tbh mate. It's designed to take the hammer from what I read before I bought it.
