Cracking car you got there, I used to have one of the trophy's and the handling was something else so much fun to drive. You might be surprised how good on petrol they are aswell especially with the decat. I used to get late 30's to the gallon from it.

I really like these, nice to drive as a daily and have abit poke about them. Just make sure the dephaser pulley has been done along with the belt and it'll be champion.
Its a car i have never owned but would love to own one,

Get all your water hoses replaced and vacuum hoses etc and its a peace of mind for you
Not a fan of the clio's but I would imagine it being a lot of fun

Had one of these as my last car. Absolutely mint! Had Pirelli pzero Nero tyres and seemed to take any corner, at any speed with the accelerator flat to the floor. I think I'd have much more fun with a 182 on o track than my current sti! Sold mine with 100k on the clock and never missed a beat in 3 years of ownership. Has it got both cup packs?
