I'm never buying another car from Scotland. No offence like
I've noticed some have projectors, and some don't. Were they optional extra?
This one only came up a few years ago, seems pretty good underneath.
Yeah they were an option, cornering lights are included.

Had a look tonight and it's the swivel hubs.
Yay. f**king yay.

Having spent a bit of time in them back to back, what are your thoughts?
Tricky one tbh.
197 is the better daily but that particular rb has a fixed bucket that's too far forward for me, a cage with double door bars and 4 point harnesses. When it was mine and normal it was a great daily bar the exhaust.
Driving position is tons better in the 197 standard v standard though.
197 will corner faster but the 182 feels so much lighter and more nimble.
182 is defo more eager to accelerate. It also rides a lot better.
I'll be honest, I'm quite torn as to what to do, swivel hubs, wheel refurb and sell on or swivel hubs ignore the wheels and track it some more, give it more time.
TLDR: 197 more capable, 182 more fun.

The above is also totally ignoring running costs, the 182 is considerably cheaper for pretty much everything.
For various reasons but mostly my mental health this is going to be getting broken in the next few weeks.
If anyone is after something before I advertise it then tell me now.

Pretty much.

How come your breaking it?
I'm unwilling to put the money required into fixing it and unwilling to sell it as a good car so would take a big hit by being honest.
So instead I'll split it.

See, I don't know if you're being sarky or not!
I didn't think I'd be breaking it or getting rid so soon but there you go.
If I sort out the entire front suspension at about £1300 then it's still due a belt and box refurb.

Right thing by the car thought?

Almost certainly not but I don't care, it doesn't get stressed or disappointed or worry about money or have to borrow other peoples cars.
If anyone want its whole, minus 1 hub as I used a grinder then let me know. Otherwise it'll be getting split from next weekend on.

whats it worth as is to save breaking it? I know a mate looking for a project.
the 197 from hell bites again lol!

£2500 is the bottom figure, will need trailered though as I cut one of the hubs off ?
Sold, complete.
Good stuff. Less hassle for you and hopefully makes a decent car when done.
BTW I’m a hypocrite. I’ve started breaking up my 182 so my mate can build a kangoo 182

How much would you want for your 182 complete? ?

Shame I've already sent a big chunk to her parents for a loan they gave us then

Budgeted £750-1000 for a replacement, if anyone sees a decent dci or 1*2 give me a shout
You should be able to find one. I was always going to break mine. Saves MOT and fixing a bunch of other bits.

buy a van!
Tonight at knockhill? I didn’t see you there.
Had my first go in the new car on track. Loved the van. My mate is about to build one from my old clio.

Spotted you in the garages but didn't have time to chat, I was in the other RB.
I got pulled in for abusing track limits and removing the floppy cones at the chicane.
I did notice some gravel around you car, did you have a little off? How did you find the new car?
I had a few moments. Twice at McIntyre and once after the chicane. Good fun though. And when I did go a bit sideways at the gravel the diff made the difference in pulling the car straight.
I am fining there is a bit too much understeer compared to the previous car. Not sure what to change though.

Got some pics David, saw you but never to chat to! You got your own thread you'd like them in?
Fixed and away. 1 day shy of 4 months.
Rocking my grans fiesta just now ?
Let me get one started to save spamming Graham’s M100CUP thread [emoji106]
