I woke up one morning and told my wife I was selling my yz250 and my R6 because I'm treating myself to a new car, with that she had a grin from ear to ear as she used to worry every time i went out on my bikes. I told her i was getting a 182,

Hello

Number 1 & 2 are on 200psi but number 3 & 4 are on 30psi :( the car still runs but don't tick over.
Your clio was flying cant believe how quick you got on to cam commng out of the hairpin. Even with your naff tyres you looked the fastest thing round the track to me.
After my first set of laps at Mallory at the weekend i returned to the paddock to find the car was finding it difficult idle.
I checked all the levels and pipes and continued to ring its neck around the track all was good .

Hello Mate
The silver 172 belongs to Tom Roach and a very tidy car it is. His user name is tomclio108, He works at Exway Coach Works in Paignton.

The gear box mount under the battery has two 13mm nuts either side of the center 18mm nut these where all tight. once these three nuts are removed(no need to elevate or support gearbox) the Gearbox mount can be removed.
You...
Hello
I got a 52 plate 172 cup and im booked for Malory park next moth (first track day):D.
My ride height seems extremly high, im informed this is the way the cup should sit, but for my track day do i lower it or leave as is!!!
Cheers
The cup brochure states that the cup has revised suspention hith a higher front spring rate & firmer ride with a 3 degree increased front caster angle.
I've always thought my cup ride height is extremly high.
Today i parked mine side on to another Clio 172 that also has standard suspention and it seems to sit 15-20mm lower than mine.
Does this sound right!!
