I had a few early issues sorted under warranty (wiring loom, front suspension knocking) and have had two replacement throttle bodies. Apart from that, from brand new to over 130k miles, the engine has never missed a beat, and yearly dyno runs show it building more power year on year. Even...

My cat's being refitted this week for its last MOT in my hands, so I'm having Mike/Dave leave it in place. The last 105k miles have been run with the decat so will be interesting to see if it feels stangled/less responsive.

Nice car looks nice.

At least mine made it into this one LOL Was freezing, stayed as long as I could.

Stratos won the day for me, hero car. Good to see everyone again.

First time tried I getting it away without the ESP on. Rubbish launch but seems to haul well enough once rolling. Rolling road in January, see what it's got. Hoping to get this lump to 130k+ as well :approve: Excuse the new camera, stability is excellent in-hand, but it struggles a bit on the...

Makes sense. Next time out I'm removing my 172 Cup brain, and will start braking and entering at 200 speeds. The reason it looked so boring on the video was because I was approaching everything as though I was in the Cup i.e. far to slow for what the chassis can handle.

Yup. Someone did exactly that on mine before I bought it, with 18k miles and 9 months left on the warranty. There's no better way of doing it IMO.

Panasonic HDC-SD90 on a B. Hague headrest strut mount.

To add to the debate; My 172 Cup is undoubtedly faster in a straight line and accelerates quicker when exiting a turn, but, I still reach the same peak speeds at the end of the straights in the 200. Why's that? Far more speed carried through and out of the turn. The 200 is so much more...

Mmmmm, nice.

:cool:

Yup. Can't figure out why people say they're not as much fun as the MkIIs. The MkIIIs move about just like them...you just have to go faster to make it happen.

First dry session in the 200, tip-toeing and feeling my way around. Came up on a 350/370Z that was struggling with the lines, but booted it down the straight. I was doing OK until I hooked 4th :evil:

Can anyone print an extra one???

I cba registering...chances of entry refusal if I meet up with you lot and just turn up at the gates? Goodwood is an open circuit 365 days a year so how would/could they refuse?

Didn't they only add that after the ASA upheld complaints that speeds depicted within the adverts weren't true to life though?

LOL Brimmed it again tonight after another full tank, indicated 32.1, actual 34.7. Nothing wrong with that after making progress.

It's manageable, but not easy. Parking is tough, track work is OK, excellent feel comes through, but your shoulders will ache by the end of the day.

My commute helps massively with the decent fuel consumption. Across 26 miles of country roads, I only have to brake for about 5 junctions in total, that's it. Most of the time is spent cruising along at a steady 50/60 mph so it barely uses anything fuel wise. Been giving it a few squirts this...

Mine makes 187 with nothing! Remove your power steering...

A week in on mine and I'm head over heels. Perfect on my commute. It's a comfy cruiser barge when I want it to be, and a limpet when I don't. 36mpg too. Must try harder.

That was great to watch :approve:

Suzuki?

Will have a buddy in an S2000 coming along Saner, you thinking RWD at start or end of day?

This one was on the radar but was a trek to get to. After he dropped the price again last Monday I sent him a cheeky email and got a good response :approve: No mods (apart from a foam panel filter replacement) are permitted, self imposed rule.

I LOLd when I read about your kids not being able to sleep ;) For anyone that's interested, here's a link to the Evo back to back comparison http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolongtermtests/256042/renaultsport_clio_200_cup.html

When I got the Ignis last year I had a 12 mile commute, 1st and 2nd gear stuff, congested mainly, and for that along withe the occasional country blast it was fine. Now the commute is all country roads, 26 miles and seven villages, that's it. The Ignis handled it well, but it bucked about like...

Still got the Cup, but am open to offers. Not really making any effort to get rid yet, but will do come the spring. The Ignis wasn't cutting it as a daily anymore, and it pained me that the Cup sat there 3 weeks at a time sometimes without turning a wheel. Then two lots of insurance and tax...

First road impressions are; motorways are nice again, economy is fine, fat steering wheel feels lurvely, reach adjustment is worth it, why the f*** is there not a power outlet on the dash (or have I missed it?), gearchange and seating position are massively improved, electric PAS is fine. First...
