W-reg hatchback faceoff

They are just too overpriced for what they are. Would rather get a Focus RS even though it's pigfat as fuck. At least I would get 4 doors for that sort of money.

clio has rear doors too m8

They're making hatches slow as a fucking GOAT?

H-Have they learned?

>Not posting the usual full OP
Its ok, I forgive you anon.

Also, found a Clio 172 for £999. Should I? Just as a temporary thing while my insurer deal with my 197/200 Cup

>>15173818
Hard one. If any of the following is an issue, I would skip it
>Timing belt over due
>Heavy oil leak on the bottom of the gearbox
>Expensive coilpack broken

Idk if the 172 has VVT, but if there is one then usually the VVT gear needs to be replaced as well when doing the timing belt. The engine starts to sound like a diesel when it is boken.

For a temporary commuter I would pick something that isn't that hard and expensive to keep on the road. Like a mk1 Fiat Punto or a Ka. Out of those 2 definitely the Punto.

>>15173827
The 172 has the same F4R motor as the 182, 197 and 200, so I imagine it has VVT.

The one I was looking at has no MOT so I'm going to ask the dealer about that. Otherwise, there's a 182 for £1500 that's just had a cambelt not too far from me, but don't really want to spend that much. Might buy the LHD Twingo I found for £400ish

>>15173759
pity about the new face though

One of my mates has just bought a FiST, and one a Micra 160SR. And another an RX8 R3, but that's not a hot hatch. The FiST is the only one I haven't been in yet.

>>15175018
That look horrendous.

Otherwise you've done alright.

>>15175048
Why do people like this car? I just don't get it. Golf R is a different story though.

How much power would a Clio II have to put out to be considered hot? I'm looking at making something a bit different.

What's everyone's thoughts about taking a hatch with no performance model, and MAKING a hot hatch out of it?
Pic related.

>>15176833
Fun stuff and you should do it. Sleepers are great.

>>15176833
I've actually considered building a Ford Ka ST, as the Ka is basically a Fiat 500, so most of the Abarth bits are a straight fit

>>15176751
It's not all about power, it needs to drive and handle well, look good, and have character. Honestly, something that size, 150bhp would be ample. But there's already the 172 and 182. What are you planning anon?
