Been on PH for a while now done quite a few meets run's breakfast clubs etc, pic below,It is standard apart from a Milltek exhaust will be having some engine work done soon (hopefully if funds allow) plan is to keep it standard looking just upgrade engine brakes etc.The little 16v engine is quite a tuneable lump, remap 140hp have been looking at a stroker kit to 1800cc with remap gives about 190hp, bit expensive though will just have a remap and brake upgrade for now would like to hear your comments thanks

Please note these pics were taken after I'd just cleaned her

Hi Danny

Looking nice and clean 140bhp should be good fun in a C2!

[bazking69]

You take your number plates off when you clean the car! Now that is OCD!!
For some reason I like the looks of Sporty C2s. They just look edgy.

Having followed this car on a run around most of South and Central Waes, I can attest to the fact that it does not lack pace, even in standard trim.

Happy days mate remember that run well quick pic
can just see yours behind mine
Sometimes suprises even me how well it copes with much faster cars on runs etc good example was the Bristol Tunnel run 16th May was in a mini convoy with,V8Vantage,Ferrari 348,Ultima GTR and Mazda RX8 another quick pic ahh happy days

Hope to see you soon cheers

Nice car danny, although I am slightly biased as my one is the same colour too. I think these are a bit underated and never get included in warm hatch group tests in car mags perhaps because they have been around a while now? I have found mine is good for a little troy queef lift off OS action too. 140 bhp tho? From just a remap? Sounds good.

Went out for a quick run this morn up the Black Mountains near Brecon, the roads were fairly quiet ended up going to Llandovery and Builth Wells on the way back the weather took a turn for the worse (bloody Welsh weather) a few pics below

What an awesome photo

Your welsh hoon pictures are very frustrating now I'm over in east anglia! 180 miles just to get to the beacons now!

Love my little C2, they are great fun for chucking around the corners, have been looking at getting mine remapped soon but as it's the diesel it can be taken up to around 150bhp only problem is the clutch is a little delicate.

Should be a good photo you took it I only live 25 mins away from the black mountains so ideal for a quick run out I've put my name down for the next bristol tunnel run can't wait

[dannytherev]

Did a quick detail on the car this morn (finally got a sunny sunday)some pics




sorry theres no before pics (forgot) anyway first I gave the car a full wash over with Nielsen's TFR and wash/wax was then dried of. The whole car was then clayed and machine polished with Neilsen's liquid gold polish.the wheels were then treated with 3m's finesse it and cut back with liquid gold ,the tyres and plastics were then dressed with my secret longlife dressing and finally the exhaust was treated with metal polish and liqiud gold still a few scratches to get off but overall looking good, only took 3hrs!!!!!

My twin cousins (who are disabled) live in Torpoint, visited the area last year loved it so decided to put the Kernow flag on the car reminds me of good times

New Citreon's don't still have the hydraulic suspension do they? If only they kept with that technology, love the old City's

You can get the new C5 with hydractive or with coil springs and the C6 has hydractive as standard nice and comfy

Lets hope this nice weather keeps up the more time the better
