    Thinking of selling the 172cup for a 182ff with cup packs??

    You know I have thought about a trophy before but I was not struck on the colour. I had only ever seen one on pictures before but then I saw one in the flesh and it looked wonderful. If you havent seen one, make a point of tracking one down and going to see it. Remember - It costs nothing to...

    Basically a new 182!

    Ouch, maybe you shouldnt have spent that mate. For the record my R27 is bl0ody well awesome, you should have got one like you said!

    Car has been attacked

    If you see his bike unattended take a bolt cutter to his chain, slash his tyres and remove something from it, then push it over. (Just make sure your engine is running when you do it!) This angers me! If I saw anyone do this to my car id end up in jail. When i read stuff like this is makes my...

    197 OR Focus ST

    A diesel! - oh my oh my. Since the dawn of time they have been boring. Its very satisfying seeing the needle the rev needle in a hot hatch hit 7 and 8rpm and listening to the engine and exhaust noise and the car is still pulling. In a diesel you hear a caveman chewing on coal and the power...

    197 OR Focus ST

    Everything you say comes from Evo like they are all the Jesus' of motoring journalism. On the flip side of the coin ill quote another mags writeup to cancel out some of the rubbish evo spirt out. (i really should get round to cancelling evo subscription) AUTOCAR - They've chosen their best...

    Clio 1.2 Modifications

    I was being realistic, not pedantic. Modding lightly i can understand but going all out to make a 1.2 identical to a 1*2 is something I don't get. All the cash spent on mods probably would pay for insurance on a real one. Im not calling peoples cars here, infact some of the mod's done are...

    Clio 1.2 Modifications

    Points for speeding dont effect the insurance that much. Its only if you have had a smash, or been drink driving and such like that your premiums go sky high. Personally I don't see the point in modding a 1.2. I was reading a thread on here before and some people have roll cages in, made...

    Evo Clio

    Anyone who likes this pile of scrap need their eyes testing. It looks utter sh1t. Why not save his money and buy an older evo?

    That's not rat...

    Im not going to beat about this bush. If you do this to your car.... your a d1ck head. No offence.

    To Hell and Back! **Old School**

    Using white text was a bit of a strange one. Nice car, shame it was always broken. Seems like it was like Triggers Broom. "4 new heads and 5 new handles"

    wanted a m3 but....

    The M3 is fast turning into a ford mondeo. Everybody has one (except me). Drug Dealers have them, Gypsys even have them (serious) and I wouldnt be suprised if people on benefits have them too. No question, the BM has a far superior build quality, better engine and goes faster. However, your...

    Should I get another clio 197?? Running costs!!

    Re: SHOULD I GET ANOTHER CLIO 197?? RUNNING COSTS!! Bollox!! - If your doing motorway miles there is noway your getting 23mpg. If you are its broken mate. I went on a 500mile round trip over the holidays and averaged 29.8 mpg in my R27 and that was at 90mph most of the way with 2 passengers...

    Defrosting in the morn..... would this work??

    Pouring water on is fine when its zero degrees or -1 but when its -6 like it has been round here you go back in to put your jug back and when you get back its frozen again!

    Changing gear and RPM - How do you do it?

    PX offered, 197 for mk1 V6, advice needed

    I am a 197 R27 owner and will give an honest opinion on the car you would be getting. In terms of practicality its pretty decent. You have an ample usable boot, plenty space in the back with or without the recaros. Obviously the car only comes in two door. I don' know if you have kids but I...

    Tint's or spring's ???

    what do you mean you ripped them off?? does that mean you had that film stuff you stick to the glass??

    Tint's or spring's ???

    stop being "tight" as you put it and get a 172.

    182 cup or 182 trophy...?

    Warren, i never saw that evo article and I have subscription to evo. I have seen the numerous 197 reveiws though, and they all prefer the 197 over the trophy and so they should, its an improvement. Back to topic though, id rather have a trophy over a cupped 182.

    MRBILLYUK were is the 182 mate? Ive drive down your road quite a lot to go to the mrs mums house but your car is never there at all times

    182 cup or 182 trophy...?

    Clearly a Trophy imo. However if you can afford a 197 get that. a 197 will cross the finish line before both of them.

    modding a williams=can o worms?

    do what ever you like i say so long as you dont change the outside of it. The absolute key thing here is, YOU LEAVE THE GOLD WHEELS WELL ALONE! :-)

    Had my 197 valued yesterday

    i think some dealers are using the recession to try to screw people over. They are trying to steal cars of people on px's
