£10k ish to spend what would you get??

[tezza88]

right i love my clios so wanted to stay with them but want a change from my williams what do i go for?? newer 197? or... something better like a audi s3 or a ctr?? i mean there all around the same price for a decent one.

come on people let me know what you would do with £10k?

 

[couzens]

im going to stick with what i would do with 10k, ph1 172 strip it out, full on track **** and keep the rest of the money!

 

[coatesy]

if its got to be a clio it would be the trophy for that price couple grand left in pocket or save abit more nd get a ly r27.
my choice would be a 6-7k CTR spend the other 3k on a supercharger or a jdm 220bhp ctr

 

[theduck]

at 10k I would say trophy. Stretch the budget a bit and you will get a good 197 though

and spend the change on a set of fluffy dice :rasp:

 

[mr bognor]

Get a Honder

 

[tezza88]

see now im lost, always liked the ctr's but those 197 are nice too + less common!!

 

[tezza88]

i have been told that you get problems with the trophys suspension after a certain millege which sets you back a silly amount! so bit unsure of those, would like a lil reliability

 

[Merk]

CTR, go.

 

[coatesy]

what u after mate?
torque??
power ??
reliability??
handling??

 

[Fletcher]

Ditto.

 

[brisa4984]

a v6? or evo VII (11k)

 

[Marcus---]

CTR ftw!

Suspension can be rebuilt, which is far less than replacing them and makes it no more expensive than comparable cars. I have done a lot of looking into all the hot clios so if you want a proper chat my msn addy is on my profile

^^ at last someone speaks sense

Trophy, you won't stop smiling at whats possible.

 

[A13EX F Trophy No70]

i love all these bullshit rumours about the trophys dampers has anyone actually had a problem with theirs or is it just hearsay?

 

[Steve]

I only know of 1 that has failed.

Head of Renault motorsport told us at RWS 2006 they should last 50K easy as there's were tested to destruction on Track etc & survived.

 

[Jordi17]

Impreza

 

[Chris Mac]

what u after mate?
torque??

reliability??
handling??

because a CTR has none of these

^^ Very good call

 

[demps23]

mk4 R32

 

[Henry]

everyone's criteria is different but i'd be tempted by a 330d for that kind of money

 

[Ian_182]

High miler though and if the turbo goes you get no change from 1500 quid.New sealed units now...

 

[Gaz_]

197 for sure

Still pretty exclusive (seen 2 in 6 months round here)

Much better build than the older Clios, really solid feeling. Looads of presesnce, (see one on the road and you'll see what i mean)

Good out the box, sound mint, slick gearbox. I love mine. I came from a 172 Cup and a 182. No looking back for me

scratch that one then!

 

[182-racing-blue]

I had a ctr, running a Nos kit and bounced it off the clock numerous amounts of times, its gone now and I have never looked back. I love my clio and wouldnt swap it for anything.

Ofcourse I will get another car one day, but the clio is bought and paid for and I will keep it alongside my new car until it falls apart.

Spunk 10k on an audi diesel, reliable, economical, holds its money, cheap insurance!!!!
