Alien Green 200 Cup *** New AG 200 (number 3) from page 85***

[N0ddie]

Currently stumped on what to do to the green beast now.

As I posted at the weekend, we've ordered a new Clio 4 for Emma and trading the 133 in for it so the 200 will become my primary car s opposed to Emma's. This is all good however. After seeing the Clio 4 normal model I really really want apt he 200T. This isn't gonna happen straight away as I want some more time to enjoy in the 200. So 2-3 years down the line I'll be looking to get a 200T.

This leaves me with a dilemma as to what to do to the 200 in the mean time. The plan was to always keep it until she dies, however I think she'll get traded for the 200T when the time comes. So do I buy the stuff I want for it or leave it as is? I want the K-Tec induction kit, Oreca steering wheel, Varley 15 battery.

What's people's thoughts?

Only live once mate, do what want to the 200 and enjoy it while have it.

When had enough put back to standard, get some money back from the mods and go for the 200T

Will you get the 200T as soon as it's available or wait a year/18 months?

If you're thinking you'll order one this year, it's kinda pointless spending more money on it. I know you can take the parts off and put it back to OEM but you'll never get back what you paid for them so seems kinda silly for 1 summer?

Buy the parts and keep original parts so then you can switch back come trade in time and then you can sell the modded parts.

this :thumbsup:

I would leave it as it is now , it's spot on and can be returned pretty easy however battery etc is a pain to move back etc

It's a really capable at as Is

I would but the money in the bank when you get your. 200t throw some mods at it as people like forge etc will sell coolers and the likes that will yield huge gains with a map respectively so getting bang for buck there as what is the induction kit and battery actually going to offer you.

+1 on the keeping the OEM parts, then when the time comes you can flog the parts you've bought on here, get some of your money back and put the car back to standard before chopping her in for the 200T.

 

[Roger200]

Spend the money on doing stuff with it, not to it!

 

[N0ddie]

Was thinking along the lines of keeping the parts I remove to put back when we sell.

Hmmmm! What first? Decisions decisions.

 

[mark_1873]

Buy the induction kit, it'll sound amazing especially coming up the hill at Knockhill.

Leave the battery and wheel. Your not really gaining anything from them, especially the battery.

Then start deciding on your perfect 200T spec

 

[N0ddie]

Was thinking of not bothering with the battery though I love the look of the wheel lol.

 

[smoggy mark]

If your going for k-tec filter i would stick with the standard battery as thats what the kit is made to go with.

 

[N0ddie]

Yeah thats my thinking now.

 

[N0ddie]

Small update to keep the thread up-to-date. Bought the K-Tec induction kit. Fitted it today.

You know what they look like but some pics none-the-less (Not my pics):

And a quick test vid (Sounds much louder and deeper "in real life"):

Nice one Martin, sounds very fruity.

 

[N0ddie]

Should have "other bits" before How Fast? also. Though I'm gonna try keep it a surprise.

 

[Fernandez]

The "Other Bits".. Mmmmmm this should be interesting.

 

[N0ddie]

They certainly ain't gonna make it anywhere near as competitive as the FI beasts but should get me a little closer.

 

[litchy]

That looks really nice.....

 

[Fernandez]

Looking forward to seeing this at Bedford. Even better that you are on both sessions.
