    197 Projector Query

    Can you not get the xenon units and fit hid kits with D2S fittings? I think the levelling motor can be from your old units to make them manual level. D2S bulbs are better performance from what I found.

    12 plate 335d

    Straight line he'd be ahead. Corners would depend on how stupid the driver is.

    Old memories, regrets? Maybe, maybe not?

    Lovely choice. Not jealous at all. Hehe JLR wage is good, Aston wage is better then JLR suppliers wage is through the roof. I don't miss working in that place though.

    Clio Alternative - ITR CTR VXR Ideas?

    this for me too. I discovered nothing really can provide the step up from the 200 so decided a s2k is the next step.

    New Entry-Level Clio Cup Series Launched by Renault and BARC.

    How does the series compare to mx5? (Was it you that raced in Ma5da?) should sell those headlight for some std ones for ££££. Everything counts.

    Trackday brakes

    It was more of other cars having more bop/tonne. There's nothing I can do to go faster than a itb Clio or turbo cars.

    Trackday brakes

    I also ran standard on my 197 and it was fine. It speaks for itself when I loose out to cars on straight and gain under braking. What I'm getting at is sometimes you need to learn to drive to the differences of each car.

    Trackday brakes

    Maybe try adapting your driving style? It's not a dig but maybe there is something new to be learnt about braking? I ran standards on my 200 for many trackdays and never had a problem. I was also a late braker compared to other clios especially at brands compared to a 200 with floating discs.

    Working/living in the UK?

    I'd be looking at Asia as that's what I did last year. Quick comparison, I was on around £36k in engineering but changed to teaching in korea. The pay is 1/3 butim saving at least £1000 per month compared to £200 in the uk due to living costs. I eat out 2/3 times a week and party every two...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

    The veloster looks nice but lacking the RWD aspect. I want the turbo as I'm not keen on all that weight over the front axle (and its cheaper). Brand new costs £18000 here, would have been £15k last sep. I've been looking and I can find a 2010 for around £9k which seems decent. This is based...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

    Tempted by one of these as I need something with decent speed. Wanted to bring a 182 to Korea but it's too expensive so this is the next choice. What do people think of this? It'll be a 2009/10 model with the 2.0 Turbo (210 ps). I'm guessing it's more of a GT than a GT86 type coupe but still...

    200: 30k 2010 alot

    First one for sure. As for mileage, mine was 1 yr 6mth with 22k on when I sold it. It was tracked regularly but ran beautifully. You'd find owners who track their cars keep a close eye on its condition. Fluids changed regularly and brakes serviced.
