being rock-solid in ride and having Alcons will never hurt in getting around corners better.
Hence why the Clio mod squad pour money into brakes and suspension, I guess.
At least the FRP didn't confuse lowz with handling though
Yes, it was overpriced and undersold, but that's for the best.
firstly, it stops every chav having one.
secondly, it means that they're rare, and so wont keep losing money
finally, the insurance on them will be better than a 172 soon, providing yoof continue to roll clios through school...
I guess it depends on what experience you have of them.
a mate of mine had one, it was awesome.
Gally has one, he thinks it's awesome.
lots of Clio owners wouldn't know one if it transformed into a robot and kicked them in the plums.
The FRP was a "proper" halo model, like the Focus RS, and...
exactly.
Tickford went to town on that little coupe, got it as right as they could with the stuff they had, sold them at a loss and gave the world a classic.
The FRP wasn't an exercise in churning out mass-produced hot-hatches though.
Any day of the week I would trade the 172 for an FRP, they're just far more desirable, rarer and wont devalue much further for these reasons alone, let alone any others.
Lap times are all great and everything, but...
KC, Dom or Demo are my gamestyles.
Keep an eye out for Hypermega, I'll be the one getting killed a lot.. and capping flags/tags or planting/defusing stuff

So, if you're just doing motorway miles at legal speeds, 95 isn't that tragic.
but, if you're being a hero of the twistiez, then you need as many rons as you can get.
what about if someone goes and fills up with 101 RON though, say, in the silverstone paddock?
I'd like it more if I could ever get a decent killstreak.
So I just roll with the support streaks, at least then I might get a remote sentry to play with every now and again
I dont use 95 RON often, only usually if I'm caught short or the only pump available doesn't have a "premium" option.
Mind, all this talk of "load points" etc. I dont give the Clio a kicking, so, to the "normal" driver, would it make as much an issue as some of the y0! brigade?
In my revs/cylinders thread theres a mustang with a blower so awesome it sounds like it's tearing school children in half when the right foot is buried.
I guess that I'm just going to have to hunt out classic yank / merc V8's for my boost fix
ha! yeah, that was a masterstoke of idiocy.
Thing is, it didn't feel any faster. it did bulk out the lower-range nicely, but by the time you're up in the big-revs of that engine, there's nothing more the blower could give.
plonk it into an MR2 (mk1 or 3) and it'd be brilliant... providing it's...
naah, the manufacturers are gheying out and being all too busy caring about the planet n junk ;)
I know, I know that turbos can be easier to control, give bigger boost etc.... but. well,
charger whine > dump valve
And when you're talking about a 2.0 4-pot without 9k on the dial, you need as...
