What to do when the warranty runs out!

[Razza25]

I need people thoughts and opinions on what to do with the car when the warranty runs out!

a) Keep it and spend alot of money making it go like the clappers

b) Put the money I would spend on making it more powerful and my car towards something that is already fast as f*ck

c) Keep it, do a few subtle mods and go on a decent holiday

If your answer is be what car would you suggest? Me and the missus like the new RS Meg 250.

Thanks

First one

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

A!!

 

[Razza25]

I've got a feeling thats what the majority are going to say mate

 

[Justin]

B or C

 

[Peperami]

B or C. Spending lots on modifying is a neverending spiral.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Being serious now, I would say C. Do a few little things, like brakes or sportlines etc. Dont bother spending thousands, not worth it in the end.

 

[jordan172]

c for sure.

 

[Bazzon]

Go on a few track days, then decided.

 

[JonC]

I'd go for B, there are far more faster and more interesting cars out there. Its good to broaden your horizons!

 

[Razza25]

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I would love to go for A because the 197 tuning market is steadily growing but deep down I know a sensible option woud be B or C.

I want turbo/supercharged power next me thinks

If you like the 250 go to your stealers and see what they can do? If it's anything like the Clio 200 they'll be giving them away!

 

[Razza25]

Has the 250 had a bit of a bad reception? or is it just the current climate?

 

[pip.]

If you're looking for a lot more pace, B. More cost effective than squeezing little bits out of the Reno.

Current climate I'd say fella, anyone who pays full price for a new car ATM is mad IMO! They practically gave me a 200 when I enquired last month, they only wanted my car and 5k for a brand new 200 with the tasty extras!

It's a buyers market if you've got the money!

 

[Fletcher]

B.

 

[Razza25]

Might have to pay the stealers a visit soon then, can you order it yet?

Exactly what this man said

Not sure fella, I'm not even sure of the release date yet (haven't looked for a while!) Try the RenaultSport website? Check out the spec you might be after and you can walk in clued up on the deal you're after.

 

[shadowsun]

B here matey!

Will do thanks for the useful info

 

[Golgarth]

If you can afford a 250 get one, they look awesome!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

What would you do to the 197 thats going to make it crazy quick without Super/Turbo charging it?

If its gonna compromise already pish build quality you should just sell it for an Evo 7/8...

 

[Razza25]

A turbo would be on the cards but I know it's never gonna make it stupidly quick! It would be more for the fact that it's gonna make it feel alot quicker than it does now

An Evo would be good, guy that lives on my street has one and the more I see it the more I want one

 

[richlawson]

sell it you know the up keep on renaults after warrenty is ongoing and expencive lol
