    Brake work!

    I bought my new 200 cup a few weeks ago, and have just taken it to the garage I work at to have a look over the brakes which are clearly shot! Apparently, the N/S/R caliper has failed, and it's going to need a new caliper, 4 new discs and a complete set of pads. ouchhhh!!! :( Where's the best...

    Possible missfire?

    I had this exact same thing on a 1.2 clio i was running for a few weeks. It was intermittent, but at it's worst the car would stall when I stopped, warning light was intermittent too. Asked the mechanics where I work to look at it.. it was a misfire on 2 cylinders and the coils needed replacing...

    RB 200 & Black 182

    That anthracite looks amazing!! Makes the front look less like a black blob and makes it clearer the diffuser is... a diffuser. Love it!

    My new 200 cup in Mercury Silver

    It means anyone can have the interior of a supercar :D Cheers mate, yeah really happy it's great to be back :) Carbon skiing seems like the way to go, if we're honest people don't buy carbon for the weight loss, so getting a real carbon look for far less money seems like win-win to me!

    Akrapovic on a 197

    Ktec do tips for the akrapovic that look awsome. I don't think you can get it looking standard with the akrapovic cos they will always poke out the diffuser a bit, regardless of whether they have tips or not. But, as I said, the Ktec tips are the best I've seen on any zorst

    My new 200 cup in Mercury Silver

    Cheers guys :) The DRL's wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so blue! All standard DRL's are white, so they're clearly an add-on

    My new 200 cup in Mercury Silver

    Thought I should start a progress as I've got some plans for it. I've had two cars before this one, firstly a 1.4 Corsa that began life like this... and is now like this... (lil sis drives it now) I sold that to my sis for my R27 which was my dream car since I first saw one in 2007, but we...

    New car :)

    I've finally got the replacement for my R27 after driving around in a mk2 1.2 clio running on two cylinders for a month! It's a 200 cup in mercury silver, I'm loving the colour, I was getting a bit fed up with people saying my LY was chavvy! Gone from probably the most out there to the most...

    Removing Silencer on a 200?

    Oh my god I can vouch for that, drove mine after having it done and was like 'oh those videos made it sound so cool, mine sounds crap'. The noise is still improving over time, but my god does it crackle now! Any lift off and it crackles, it's amazing.
