Gazza, phone Dave Kirk at K-Tec and say you want him to sell it to you for the motorsportworld price. I didn't have to pay for mine in the end but he will match a rival price.
Do you have bugs that eat seagulls? the fuckers are really getting me down, The chick is bigger than both his parents (and most pterodactyls) but they're still guarding my roof terrace and divebombing me.

See, told you. Doesn't give a weight anywhere though, but I imagine in combination with the sequential box acceleration is pretty good, sub 6 seconds to 60.
Quite, and let that be the end of it. We dispelled the nonsense about the Trophy engines being a 'handpicked' selection of F4R's a long time ago! They were quite literally the last 550 to come off the line (apart from a few that would have gone to spares).
The only difference between the...
Cool, is it Chris?
I'm not sure how I'm going to feel yet about seeing pictures of it in strange places with a new owner, weird how it's going to become someone else's pride and joy now.
I missed the old girl last night when my electrics completely died pulling into the Shell garage, AA...
Like I said - chassis. The 197 will weigh a lot more stripped or not, the 182 chassis weighs fuck all compared, it's smaller in every dimension and doesn't incorporate the same EURO NCAP 5 star safety structure, ie. it's thinner. The power advantage in the 197 Cup will be minimal if anything at...
All 172's/182's have the RS manifold. Modified slightly on the 182 but it's always looked the same. The only difference with the Trophy is they didn't put the plastic cover over it. They weren't specially matched. If they were the many owners who have had theirs matched by Ben at Angelworks...
Racing Blue owner won't be on here, unfortunately, you may have to look on Cliosport.
Mechanic sounds like a typical monkey, how would he know whether your inlet manifold had been 'matched' as he put it without taking it off and examining the ports with a vernier screw gauge? Idjut.
No more power and a bit more weight will make that difference, it's not just acceleration where a heavier car suffers, braking and cornering too, the chassis is probably more compromised too for greater interior space/safety etc.
No it's not. This is;
You should have angle grinded the clamp off and thrown the destroyed clamp through screwfix direct's shop window. Wait for the men to return and shoot them both in the back of the head with a silenced and muzzled H&K PSG-1. Load them into the van and drive to a resevoir...
Chances are they still have that one available as a back issue, try on www.evo.co.uk , back issues are a fiver. If not someone on ebay is bound to have one.
Get it all done before. Then she'll be in tip=top condition for the road trip. New PE2's have at least twice as much lateral grip as worn ones, it'll be like a new car!
Cue - knightmares again eh? I won't post the picture of the jousting tournament up again! Black's no worry, it's custard...
Nice pics, very nice car.
I thought black was the best colour for stone chips as the base plastic is normally black, 'tis on the Trophy.
When do we get the comparison write up? I expect nothing less than an EVO style road and track report with pictures and VBOX data!
You misquoted me! I said I'd get a DC5 in black (I'd have the OE wheels sprayed gloss black and a carbon bonnet wouldn't look quite as obvious) The JDM Civic will be CW of course. I've seen this Black DC5 and it looks gorgeous, even when I had my DC2 new car blinkers on I wanted it bad.
Hamilton's a much better driver than Alonso and Alonso is sore about it as he's supposed to be the 'A' Driver. He's a right proper cunt. What a motherfucker.
slag and cocksucker aren't really swearwords. Not to say you could call a policeman that if he stops you for a breath test.
I'm surprised no-one has typed the curse word for an incestuous so and so yet, it's my favourite.
LOL at Cue, just can't help your self you northern poser!
That Black DC5 is gorgeous, If I ever get one (which I probably won't, I'll just jump straight for a JDM Civic) it'll be black with black wheels, it just scares other cars off the road.
That is a stunning car, love the paint job, looks good with white and anthracite wheels.
Is that an Inferno Orange 182 Cup that's been turned into a track whore or has someone killed a Trophy? I'm thinking it's the latter as your Swiss ones did have the puny Cup spoiler fitted instead of the...
the 182 FF is 1110kg, so it's not a hell of a lot of weight that they have to shed to get similar performance with an extra 15bhp. It's not all about weight though guys, I'm always harping on about it but I'd put on a few pounds to have a car that's more fun to drive. Luckily (and not...
I felt the ****'s were stifling one's ability to express oneself. So I have updated the word censoring replacements with the names of innocent but phonetically related animals.
Have fun!
As Day says, there was actually a 182 Cup, which is not what you have. Renault made about 539 of these, 371 in Racing Blue (with optional Gordini stripes that 208 people opted for) and the rest in Inferno Orange. They all had Anthracite wheels.
See here...
I'd love to get one of these in a year or so, I'll let someone else pay for the costs of importing the thing and running it in, then pick on up for £15K. Nothing else of a similar age will touch it performance wise for the money, it's a stupidly good car, Honda reliabilty, all the...
