It's Going

[such]

Well, the stealth bomber is on it's way, it is making way for a new 200. This has torn me somewhat in that i love my 197, and still not 100% sure about the new front end on it. But can't put my finger on it, it just feels like a far better car all round. I've dropped a post on the 200 general chat section of the details of the new one if anyone is interested.
I feel a littleanic:

Yeah I can understand the dilema. I am on the other side of it though, I haven't gone for a 200 because I am hoping for a 220 or something similar in 2012. The temptation is there though, I would end up getting a LY if I did, which seems a little stupid when I already have one lol!

 

[Ed...]

Id miss xenons too much.

 

[Paul]

^^^ Lol its alright for some!

 

[Ed...]

lmfao no xenons on ure paul?

 

[Paul]

Nope, its the one thing it doesn't have :'(

Im not too bothered and I won't be making effort to change them however they do look the nuts!

you expecting a new engine? 20bhp is a mammoth shift for the current engine. 10% extra power

Low pressure turbo or super charger would make it easier, and give more torque which is where the Clio currently loses alot of ground to other makes.


I love my xenons too :001_tt1:

romour has it the clio is going to have a similar forced induction engine to the VXR next. 1.6 turb

xenons . . . . . . . :drool:

just gunna strip the 197 out now and use it only for track days and meets.

 

[GrumpyTwig]

Aren't they going to be using the same engine as from that Nissan Juke thingy? (heard that somewhere)

 

[Paul]

There are a lot of rumours and speculation going about and this isn't the thread to dicuss them in, I guess it is more hope than anything, even more hope is for a naturally aspirated engine again!
