i dont know if anyone has mentioned the ralliart colt turbz or the renault clio sport??

i miss my GTiR, it fkn owned evyrthing on the road. :D

a friend is selling a Renaultsport clio 172, it needs a few things for roadworthy though and it scares me as I have no idea what parts for them cost

^Parts from the UK I imagine, are extremely cheap...

But I don't feel like fixing a "newish" car every other week...

yeah Anna would hit the f**king roof if the car we ended up with needed fixing as often as the GTR lol

that honda definatly looks like a whales mouth, wouldnt touch a vw as servicing and parts are a joke, dont even think about an astra vxr, never seen a car with so many problems in my life, the mazda is cool, but my vote goes out to the xr5 with leather, nice quick little cars out of the box, nice big 5 cyl engine and an all round cool car, black with black leather.

Boring, whale mouth?

I was meaning Mechanically. Acceleration figues, comfort and space are all up to the mark, I dont like how they look that much but I dont really give a shit as I have my GTR for when I feel like driving a car that I like the look of!

Good cars. Go around corners and brake very well.

Mine has a Group N ecu and an exhaust. Has done 14.2 1/4 mile at the motorplex. 6-ish L / 100km. Fun to drive , even around town.

For the dollars they are good value performance. Being a very light car, relative cheap tyre and brake costs for track day use.

and there you have it, the clios handle well and stuff..

of course they have a funny shaped sump plug that you need a special tool for, its square or so i've heard, and then, you need the computer to reset the bloody "service your car" notification, or is that only for the 2006 and up renaults?

Whats the reliability like? What ever car we get will be doing a lot of short trips around town for Annas business. Her being able to jump in it and get where she is going everytime is really important too.

At this point we are leaning towards the SP23. Anna likes the huge amount of room it has. The seats are comfy, the aircon is good as is the sound system (Compared to the GTR with no radio or aircon it is heaven) and the performance is good enough too.

yeah the only thing missing on the sp23 is a turbo :laugh:

other than that its a great little well equiped car..the missus and I were almost convinced to buy one till we realized we could buy a fully optioned luxury Accord for the same money..

yeah accord would be nice, but Anna is pretty set on a hatch, And I can see why, some of the stuff she has to cart around is pretty big.

back seats fold down in accord :P

but I understand the mazda is more a young persons car, its very trendy these days..we cop some flac for having an old peoples car but its a dream to drive and was owned by a grandpa churchgoer before us..the stereo was disconnected due to his religous beliefs...

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
