    How often do you change your car?

    No real pattern, just changed cars when I've got bored or a desire for a particular one or as a stop gap.

    265 Trophy VS Subaru BRZ

    Pace was never going to be the issue here, the megane was always going to win that, more powerful, extremely competant and surefooted. The biggest surprise is their conclusion of the drive of the BRZ, which is the whole point and ethos of the car, a fun, balanced, drivers car. Their car was an...

    New Tyre Time!

    Loved the AD08s I had on my R26R, whilst the R888s ultimately offered more dry grip, as a road/every day tyre the AD08s were far superior, a lot less noise, 95% of the grip, double the tread and therefore lifespan, very stiff sidewall for good turn in. I've had a lot of different performance...

    New RS or a bigger car ...

    I've managed to get all sorts in the back of the twingo, so far been surprisingly practical for my needs. However if you have the opportunity for a 197/200 I would definitely get one instead of just swapping for a newer twingo. My latest feat:

    Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

    Really admire this project and always look forward to the next update! Just now I was looking for photos from my trip to the nurburgring last April/May and saw a car I knew I recognised, a bit different then than now! (Pic from a session on 1st May 2011)

    RS monitor getting fitted soon

    Another reason why you may need BT radio...Not sure if the non-BT radio comes with steering column stalk controls? Only say that because you access the renaultsport monitor via the 2 top buttons on the stalk

    Booked silverstone track day!

    Afaik it's not a track day as such but the renaultsport hot hatch experience, or I gathered that's what it was anyway? Bit annoying as I'd like to use it to break in the Twingo's track virginity! Reminds me though that I need to book mine before I forget again

    VVT=variable valve timing or not??

    Systems like VTEC have an extra element, variable valve timing and lift, the lift (activated by a solenoid that then operates a high lift cam lobe) lets the valves open higher and longer and is what gives it the unique VTEC kick when reaching a certain RPM. The normal VVT (without lift) element...
