Have you driven a C2 VTR....i guess not if your going to buy one. Nothing wrong with C2s i used to have a 1.4 furio.

My mam has a VTR C2 and the Auto box in them is the worst thing you will EVER drive! do NOT buy a VTR!!!

Either buy a VTS the 125BHP one of buy the 1.4 Furio 75BHP but looks like the VTR/S.

Go drive a VTR and you will NOT buy one! i promise!

i have driven the one i am buying , i took it out and tbh imho its the best of both worlds , you can sit and relax with it in auto then turn auto off then drive pretty much normal with the gears minus the clutch . i will admit that the gear changes take some time :boring: but for what i want and need next this is perfect :approve: im a student etc and its right up my street .

Shame its had to go, but good on you for realising it was a bit much too soon and admitting it. Plenty of time to mess about with cars yet. Glad its being continued though!

Other thing with them is watch the MPG :O the VTRs are not fuel efficient. i'd have bought the 1.4 tbh mine was excellent. Yeh it wasnt a preformance car at all but it was a damn good car

Excuse the dirt, but that was my old 1.4

AlexG · Jan 13, 2009

Seams like you have made a sensible decision, wouldnt want to look back and wish you hadnt have spent so much on modding a car at that age. Plenty of years ahead of you to build track cars and do trackdays, and the insurance will be a million times more reasonable.

looks nice enough mate , pretty similar to mine . it does all feel a bit slow doing everything etc ie in the 172 being throttle cable it was very responsive but in the vtr its like it has to think then move . but tbh its exactly what i need until i have my own home . the luxury's and technology have made me happy and i havnt brought it home yet . i pick it up tomorrow

Beef-Mc · Jan 25, 2009

Waitey · Jan 26, 2009

Ta da!

Exhaust has fell off though lol

Beef-Mc · Jan 26, 2009

FLOL.

Not a good start to ownership then.

Waitey · Jan 26, 2009

Nafoff · Jan 26, 2009

Wheels are good. Not sure on the tyres though. Wet grip was a lil shakey to say the least.

I just want a cheap stainless on it tbh.

Nafoff · Jan 27, 2009

lol...waitey, you have made me laugh there, i can't comment why but tbh man, i luv you......lol

Waitey · Jan 27, 2009

LOL M180 to M62 Junction

Damp road and understeering along at 90 was awesome fun.

I'll get them run in properly soon!

Nafoff · Jan 27, 2009

don't sound to clever that

Waitey · Jan 27, 2009

All i can say is that it was different. Throttle cable sticking made it all the more fun.

Do the wheels have glitter in them?

mine fell off a while back and coz i'm lazy and can't be bothered fitting my stainless system just left it like that. It makes it sound like a rally car its a bit raspy though i don't think it would meet sound regulations on track either lol

Tobs · Jan 28, 2009

no offence but that manifold looks pants

Waitey · Jan 28, 2009

It is a bit yellow. Will be paint stripped when its ported.

Weeman · Jan 28, 2009

Needs a cage and a litre of petrol and a rag to get rid of that tar on the floor, then its done.

Waitey · Jan 28, 2009

I'm thinking a custom cage. Just need to save a bit.

Nafoff · Jan 28, 2009

also looking into a custom cage for mine mate, seen the one in my mates civic and it is beautiful

Waitey · Jan 28, 2009

Our haulage company is next to an Engineering company who i'm just going to give the clio to and tell them to create something. As long as its got a harness bar etc i'll be happy.

Michael172 · Jan 30, 2009

Lol, hows the gearbox Waitey ?

Budgie · Jan 30, 2009
