    Hooligan

    Had my 200 (2.0) for 3 years and love it despite running costs. I realise every now and then what a riot it is, does the NA Hugh revving nature make anyone else feel like a hooligan looning around? In a good way of course. My experience with performance cars is limited, only driven my brothers...

    Hello everybody!

    May I ask what the appeal of the Megan’s turbo is in the mk3 clio? I have seen loads of people do it. Just never been inside a car with the conversion done or spoke to anyone about it really. Is that not losing some of the appeal of the 197/200? Or does it turn into an absolute weapon after...

    Exactly, ditto. I started looking at M135’s and newish golf gti’s, which I just cannot justify at this stage of my life when I already have a great car In good shape and one of the last of its kind. She’s a keeper for now.

    Exhaust flexi split

    Thank you. I would assume that Toyosport is of less quality than OEM then? Or is the seller of the preowned being optimistic with the price?

    Exhaust flexi split

    Sorry Ben but would you happen to know how long I can drive it like this? It is not awfully loud at present to be honest, slightly louder than exhaust. I would rather save for a couple months and get a full exhaust system while I’m at it.

    Exhaust flexi split

    Thanks guys. Must say mine has been one massive money pit. For a car not worth more than £5k they sure do ask a lot of the wallet. Maybe I got a bag egg.

Fairly disgruntled albeit loyal owner right now, spent £3700.00 in invoices in my 2 years of ownership as...
