I found the CTR i had very numb to.
What about a dc2 integra type R? If you can find a good one they wipe the floor with both the ep3 and the cup.
On the other side the cups newer, cheeper to run, cheeper insure, look nicer, plus your not going in the unknown as you could just be buying...
Hi,
I'm still debating going to see this car its only half an hour away from me,

Sent a a few emails back an fourth and its sounds good other than the guy selling was under the impreshion the cam belt was to be be done at 72k miles no matter...
He's got the reciepts since he had it including one for the cambelt and one for the bill of sale less than 2 years ago (for £5900!!), the story he gave me about the previouse service history was the the garage told him they had it and would send it on to him but they never did.
In all honesty the engine gearbox and suspension feel fine so i think it has been serviced to some degree, and the engine mount isnt that bad i only knew because one of the mounts on my gf's is on its way out and it makes the gear stick lunge abit under throttle.
Hi,
Went to look at this a few weeks ago he wanted 3k but i wasnt willing to pay it because of the problems but he's lowered the price and am thinking of offering him less again for it and spending a little bit to get it mint for use as a trackday/road car...
i'm using my gf's dci 65 and its fantastic and is the main reason why i'm now looking for a 172 cup now.
managed 79mpg the other weekend on a good run and in relative comfort :D
The lads 19 FFS let him have at least a little fun before before he gets lumbered with a mortgage!
Your probo on similar money to me being in the 5-0 and it only took me 6-7 months to save a deposit for my house, so wouldnt worry to much.
I've had one, Standard 14a and stage 1/1a (1.2bar with supporting mods) fast in a straight line and fun side ways but i wouldn't say they handle well, the clio on the other hand small nimble instant punch i could get from a-b much quicker in one thus why i sold the sx and i'm on the hunt for a...
With a 200sx the performance come at a price there awful on fuel and there slowly rusting away, get a clio and enjoy having the best of both performance/running costs.
In the real world performance a clio would eat an sx for breakfast and keep up with a stage 1/1a.
Unless everything else is fine i'll either haggle the price down more or walk away seen a few other ones for 3.5 - 4k.
Is there a way to check the belts or are they concealed?
I asked about the history he said it says no where about the belts being changed but it is fully stamped at the correct intervals??
He said the wheels could do with a re-furb but its just had 2 new front tyres, was thinking of getting them done black anyways.
from the pictures it looks like...
well in all honesty he told me it was £500 at renault, but i had a search on google and found birchwood and there only half an hour away from me aswel.
Hi,
I'm going to see this car tomorrow afternoon an was wondering what kind of things i should be looking for taking in to account the mileage and age...
Hi everyone,
Am looking to get a clio 172 so thought it would be a good idea to come one here and get some advice /information.
Have had a ctr before and was wondering how the 172 cup compares to it performance wise?
Hopefully looking at a 172 cup today its got slightly high miles for the...
