If you could have one thing from the past on your Clio, what would it be?

[Dan@SJM]

What would you bring back from the past, and why? For instance:

Cable throttle. For the throttle response

Or

Viscous diff's instead of th electronic stuff as standard fit.

 

[BoatNonce]

Wikid spoilerzzz innit.

 

[Budgie]

Venoms.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Venoms.

I really should have fitted them instead of leaving them in the shed for 3 months :dapprove:

 

[Harbinger]

T-Bar Roofs, Pulsar Style Roof Spoilers.

 

[Bobby.]

The Raw factor.

 

[Silent_Scone]

cable throttle for sure, and smaller. Make them smaller...

 

[DaveDreads]

Electrics that work.

 

[Chip-mk1]

2 quid a gallon four star.

 

[hsustyle]

Higher revving engines.
Different (less rank) wheels on regular ph2 172s

Pops and bangs on overrun like 16v 106.

[Adamm.]

Cable throttle, its the biggest thing I missed going ph1 to 182.

[The Chubby Pirate]

Cable throttle on the Cup. It would have made it better to drive!

 

[Knuckles]

Cable throttle was my first thought.

Buuuut, cup holders that work. I had to drive home from McDonald's with one hand. So glad you can pull away in second with these and cruise in 6th

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Also - i'd have liked Ford to have designed the gearbox for the F4R.

 

[SkidMarx]

E39 cup holders

Lighter, smaller, simpler cars. Too heavy and complicated now a days.

+1

too many laws and regulations, especially about safety and emissions.


i want to go back to the 1970s where sex was safe and cars were dangerous!

 

[plymcl172]

the fun factor of the 5 Turbo- or was it just fun cause I was 19 while my friends were driving in their Nova SR's

 

[Cup_Phil]

Why do so many people think a cable throttle means a better car?
You don't make peak engine power at 100% throttle - the whole reason electronic throttles are used is so the throttle position can be tweaked by the ecu map for best performance. Also f**k going back to days with idle control valves!!!

For me it would be as chip and others have said - bin the health and safety morons off.
Less airbags, power steering, abs etc.. get cars back under a ton, fun and easy to maintain.
205/309 gti FTW!

Lightness, rwd, speed camera free roads and cheap fuel.

 

[ALY]

Neons! Seen them drop in and rapidly out of fashion twice now, mid 90s then again circa 2001ish and never got round to doing it!
