Didnt mean any offence keith!
The RX8 is an interesting beast..would need to see it the flesh to make a decision on the looks..have a feeling it will be out of proportion. Im looking forward to seeing the new nizzan zs.
Im not being harsh ( i dont know the right spelling either). Its my honest opinion, so therefore i cant be wrong.
The clio looks good without the extra bits, thats why i bought mine in the first place.
Who cares about tuning, im assessing the standard car. Point is the clio 172 is the better...
id get some kind of flame thrower alarms system! Problem with them is they look crap without a front intercooler and a few other mods which means insurance gets stupid for a £6k car..thats why most drivers are moustached 40 somethings!
Cool. Youve put evil thoughts in my mind! If i still decide on a 172..ill be looking at about 210/220. Id need an extra 20bhp to beat the power to weight of the cup, then a little bit more, just for the hell of it.
Only if you represent Diff with tall and ugly. It looks good because it has a spoiler and a nice set of wheels. Top gear proved that with a lada. ;)
The 172 is a better car anyway, so why downgrade?
Get the alfa!!!
pointless , but true. Anyway you did the same!!
ok, saxos are driven by dicks, the newer ones have ugly noses and theres millions of them around. Theres only one french manufacturer for me :)
erm well personally id never by a VAG car, theyre just not fun cars, at all. You could never love one!
Im guessing your looking at around the 20k mark? Personally id get a second hand V6 Alfa GTV, with the aerokit, then get a 4x exhaust from autodelta, plus strut brace. Not only will it look...
yeah its a bit of a piss take if the power figures are out..were the cars modded? A lot of aftermarket exhausts etc will actually give you worse figures...lets hope it was a crap rolling road.
So was the 172 representing 172 ps or bhp?
Theyre not that dissimilar mr cupsize! A 129bhp is a piss take! Id take the car back. I guess the cups have a more reliable output as the engines bench tested?
I think youd always get used to the power of the car, i mean an elise engine is hardly over whelming. I think id actually take a VX220 lightning anyway. Im still thinking about a boxster, depends how business goes.
Its a bit stupid saying you cant believe anyone believes that the ecotek works etc etc. Fact is almost every car mag out hails it as gods gift, so its not suprising that people believe/d it.
After reading the link ben posted, i wont ever be buying one though!
Yeah im not sure why people get a 330 with the bodykit and all the extras when a M3 isnt a whole lot more. Maybe you just cant get them as company cars? Or insurance is a big jump??
Simon, i wouldnt worry about this jase geezer, i met him in another thread where he was having a go at some...
Yeah flamer kits..very max power. You have to get your ECU set to overfuel as well i was told anyway? Very good if you want to impress the lads on scooters and fat 14 year old girls with their baps out..
I drove a cup at the weekend (thanks renault bexleyheath). This was the second time i have driven one, this time in the wet. To be honest it felt nervous, even more so under breaking, i wouldnt push it in this kind of weather if i had one at all. The difference between the 172 though is very...
