I take it you prefer the drive of this better than the vts?
looks stunning all the same buddy nice one!

Thanks, the car is a much better car, it's the whole package really quick but with luxuries (something the Saxo lacks lol) BUT I love that vts! And they look UBER mint together

Thanks mate

That is gorgeous mate!
Had a feeling you'd get another one from the way you been talking lately lol

I drove one and I wasn't that impressed, although as with any standard car they always feel a bit 'restricted' and I never revved the one I drove hard.

Thanks mate

I love them lol

You have to hit 4.5 to wake them that's when VVT kicks in, if you did rev it and it was slow, it could have been a lemon lol

Mines not much different speed wise to my S which has Raceland 4-2-1 Saxsport decat back, Simota filter, Denzo irridium plugs a Tank of V powahs and just had a major service lol

That's the highest powered 180 I have heard of to date still N/a, what had it had done?

Have you a graph?

Most with exhaust
remap
filter
uprated plugs see around 180-190

My old one was highly strung I had all those mods, it was a little piggy but very quick!

I remember seeing this for sale before you bought it, looked nice.

[timmythechef]

When i bought it, it had a sport cat exhaust, k&n, in the 4 months i owned it, it was cammed, de-cat, remapped, i must admit, the RR wasnt a very big place, and a few of us went, dont really know how accurate it was, but i did have the graph, sold it with the car tho

[Krys_23]

Looking cool, can see you keep your cars up to a high standard, the vts was absolutely lovely also.

With cams that sounds about right, don't see many cammed 180's


Well let's call this the start of the progress...


It will be very slow, which is unlike me because I have very little plans for this other than keeping it mint and I also plan on going on as many holidays this year as possible lol.

Today I bought a new microfibre for the wheels & some Redex fuel treatment, I do it with all my cars no idea why lol

[jimbo06]

Nice motor jamie im sure you will get it to a mint standard in no time at all mate

[baker556]

I want to like it but i can't, the grill, the lights, the no plate is something you see on barry boys, preferred your old one tbh...

Barry boys is little extreme lol, but I guess it's your opinion. You could buy it straight out of the factory like this btw, bar the rear lights

Lol it was abit extreme, really i didn't know that, fair play i just really do not like the grill.

Lol it's all good, I guess it's down to personal pref's but i'll say reserve your judgement on the grille ect for the shows as it looks 1000x better in real life, the pics don't do it any justice

[JoshB]

Dont you mean Posi Blue

Tis a really nice car mate, not too sure about the rear lights though!

Also, re-iterate what a couple of people said in terms of performance, I test drove one when they first came out and just wasnt lit up by it. It felt nippy and handled well, but just didnt say "hello!".

No doubt when you've worked your magic on it it will be a real stunner

Good mileage on it, bit of an investment I reckon!

Nope it's definitely 'Aegean' blue

See I was different I test drove a 182 before and it reminded me so much of the Saxo it was replacing, don't get me wrong I did enjoy the test drive but when I got in the 206 it felt special and as quick as the Clio. To me the Clio was how you say you found the 206, it felt boring to sit in and not that nice to look at, i'm sure they are great in the bends as every review says but that's just not enough for me.

I don't want to start a Clio RS vs 206 Gti180 war or anything but it's all down to what you like in the end.

I prefer the 206, hense this is my second and I could have got a 182, 172 or any of the other rivals, they just don't do it for me like this doesn't for everyone lol

thanks for the comment, and I agree with the investment, they are getting rarer and rarer due to people writing them off, there's under 3 thousand in the Uk iirc, that was valid in 09!

Thanks for the comment

Really ? I always thought it was because they hardly sold any because the Clio was a better option

[VTSDanny]

Yeah i could imagine it being better in respect of luxuries..
looks absolutely stunning!!
i presume performance wise it noticeable?
love it mate!
