One thing I can surely say about that vid: your speedo setup is pretty gangsta:wink:...
About the rage thing...I used to have the same issue. Due to driving a raggedy 205 Gti, a lot of people refused to let me overtake them on the Ring. But imho it is always better to relax, ease of the throttle...
Haha, dudes like that are the reason why I kinda dont like modern cars. Imagine him driving an E30, 205 Gti, Honda Crx or something along those lines. He would face his own mortalilty pretty soon and would start to behave. Instead that tool thinks that he is a very capable driver, based on the...
I own a set of aforementioned wheels (from my ex-ed9 Crx) and I am now wondering whether they will fit on my (not yet bought) clio 1*2. The wheels are 6.5 x 15 ET 40.

Yeah the Pug 205 Gti is imho still the benchmark for hot hatches. It had so much character and soul, altough I sometimes wished that Peugeot had offered a 16v version of it. @Eliganza , the gti-6 swap seems to be pretty popular...
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Unfortunately the market for Clios in Germany is rather small. I am currently thinking/debating with myself about going the right-hand-drive route, which would enable me to get a cup version and would dramatically increase the choices.
Hey guys,
my name is Philipp. I am 27 years old and currently reside in Berlin, Germany. I grew up in Bonn, which happens to be only 40mins away from an old and quite famous forest track:race:
I started my car journey off with 4 Pug 205s. My first one was, apart from some Eibach lowering...
