Long Time Lurker

I thought it was about time I introduced myself.

So as the title says, I've been lurking here for around a year. I came over from Clio197.net after running around in a Clio 200 for 18 months.

I picked her up as a basic 200 with cup pack and during my ownership I ended up fitting Recaro's, Speedlines (refurbished in anthracite) and an Akrapovic system in addition to lowering springs, spacers etc

I loved that little car, so insanely chuckable and brilliant to thrash.



After a while the only thing missing was more power and I started to get the itch. I spent a long time considering a Megane conversion but decided not to possibly ruin a brilliant car. So I started the hunt for a replacement.

Initially I was looking for a 250 but you know how man maths works...
So I ended up with this 265 with cup pack.



Another great car and a real step up in quality over the Clio. Perhaps not quite as insanely pointy as the 200 but all that turbo torque more than made up for it. She only lasted 9 months.

Then the itch started again. So I was pricing up remaps, Akrapovic, 19" Speedlines etc until my man maths told me for all the money I was about to spend I should look for something with these things already fitted.

Which leads me to my current drive.





So this is my 275 Trophy, 12k miles, Ohlins, 19's, Cup 2's and Decal delete. I absolutely love this thing, from the pops and burbles in Sport to the insane amount of grip it generates it is fantastic. The interior is pretty sweet too!

So apart from a stubby aerial, black wheel bolts, a panel filter and Black diamonds (fitted since photos) she is pretty much untouched at the moment. I will try to keep her that way for as long as possible but just looking at the CGR sports cats etc is giving me bad ideas. I guess it won't be long.
