[mimi179]

[mimi179]

i wishhhhhhhhhhhh

[holdawayt]

I wish you were back on my FB newsfeed teasing boob but I don't moan.

Seriously though - Civic type R, Astra Vxr, Golf R32, Clio sport.....

Quicker but cheaper to insure thats a hard one. I heard the fiesta mk6 TDCis can be had cheaply now and can be remapped to make good power, and being a diesel shouldnt be too pricey on insurance or costly on the juice. Failing that, I'm going to say what everyone else does:
Type-R
Clio 1*2, 197, 200
Golf
VXR something

What about a little RWD sports car?

Suzuki Cappuccino.

Astra GSi.

a lad in belper already has a gsi astra, i'd quite like a clio sport... but people have said no cause theyre french :(

whats a rwd sports car lol??
can't get insured on a type r..

I was thinking about a mini one and getting it remapped?

Who cares if someone already has one? If you're looking for a car that nobody else local has, the Suzuki Cappuccino is the car for you!

Wouldnt touch a what is basically 1.6 boggo mini really, it wont be quick at all infact I think a VTR would probably have it. Nothing wrong with the cliosports, they perform well and the handling is very very good right out of the box. Keep it serviced and it'll look after you.
RWD = Rear wheel drive and "sports car" for want of a broader term would be a mx5, s2000, MR2, Lotus Elise etc in my eyes, all of those very credible upgrades but perhaps not so cheap on insurance. Also the cliosports are group 16/17 if I remember correctly which is the same as the type-R

[mimi179]

because belper is full of little gays and an astra gsi is waaaay too boyish for me anyway!

alright i not go there, i might look at the clios then instead. would it be worth getting a bluefin for a clio or not? a lot of people have told me not to mess around with the engines of the clios.

which one though 172 182, cups?
what are the main differences? & which one is best?

They handle extremely well for what they are dont they? Not very big so no room in them but who cares!

[mimi179]

my bad just realised you cant get a bluefin for a renault

Dunno where I nicked that pic from, but surely that's girly enough for you?

0.6 litre turbo, RWD. Revs to something like 8.5k, surely it's worth getting?!

[woodysVTR]

These threads are becoming a joke.

Tiny cars and a wheel in each corner, RWD, so probably handle very well.

blaaaaaadddddy horrible

The F4R engines in the clios are quite highly tuned as standard so to get any more power out of them its going to cost you big money. Remaps will maybe get your 5-10bhp if you are lucky but you'll need other mods to obtain this. Throttle bodies/charging is the way forward but ££££.

172 - "full fat" so climate control, AC, leather etc
172 cup - cut down on weight compared to the 172, better suspension and wider wheels. Not toys though and basic interior. One of the quickest 1*2s supposedly, rivaled only by the trophy but seriously theres not THAT much in it in real life.
182 - like the 172 full fat basically just with better manifold, map and wider tyres and obviously no spare wheel as the exhaust goes through where the tyre well would be.
182 cup - a 182 with better suspension and grey wheels but no toys or leather
182 with cup packs - this is what I have. You get the cup suspension and grey wheels but all the toys too.
Trophy - this is the rare one. Runs special remote dampers upfront and different ones in the rear, bucket seats and is red. Also you got similar wheels to the 172 cup.

Are you the blonde? If so..would.

What about a Mazda Mx5?

[mimi179]

Where can i find a 182 with cup packs ? lol!

i am the blonde, but I now have dark hair lol.

i dont really like little sports cars like them :(

[Gandi699]

Cliosport.net, ebay, car dealerships. Most cup packed 182s will have grey 182 wheels, xenons with washers, lower ride height, half leather interior, a different boot spoiler to a normal 182 and perhaps a renaultsport splitter if you are lucky. However you could specify these options one at a time when the car was specced so some cars had just one option, others just some, and some had all etc so that makes it more difficult for you! If you get one make sure its had its cam/aux belts done and has been serviced well etc

[holdawayt]

Mx5's a great car. Fuck you.

[mimi179]

ill have a look thanks babe,

i never said it wasnt a great car, dick.

[holdawayt]

I've been forbidden from buying one... Not that I think I'd fit in one anyway!

[ed-bradley]

Fiat 500?

Thats one that gets missed a lot, the Abarth 500 is a pretty decent little hot hatch
