The box isn't as fast as the dsg in my 7r at all. Forum hype doesn't equal fact.

K04 on the golf r I think. They had a big issue with turbo shafts snapping on the early ones.

I'm potentially after a 197/early 200.
Which Clio RS forums are good? Had a mooch on Clio Sport but seems to all be 182's.

brilliant description of the golf r look
Me and the other half have just got a 1.5 dci clio from Renault. They have a liquid yellow rs there. Was going to have a go in it but never got round to it. Wish I had now!
Lovely inside and look nice in the flesh.
I didn't like the front but now we own one it's grown on me and the basic one don't drive bad so can only imagine good things.
Still can't belive how our dci does the mpg it does haha.
Hope you enjoy it

Thanks chaps.
I got my brother a dci on our employee lease scheme. £80 a month. No deposit. No final payments. Nothing. Just £80 a month and it does silly high mpg. He loves it.
To be fair the RS is doing about 35mpg average which I'm more than happy with.

Everyone loves their lease deal. Can't go wrong, its only money at the end of the day so may as well use it up, i am considering renting a bouncy castle on a monthly payment, too much hassle buying one and having to repair it, i'll probably want the princess castle after a couple of years anyway, once the knights and dragons one got boring.

i wonder what sort of a lease deal you could get on a personality? Could change it after 2 years for another one.

Why do all the 7r's only have one dirty pipe is the other for show or do they all drive like lemons?

It only runs on one either side until it's in race mode.

The bcs power valve exhaust is the opposite, it runs 4 pipes until you give it full throttle then it only uses 1 pipe.

Scroll down for the pics, can see how it bypasses the back box when in race mode. Pretty clever imho.
