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...

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
