oh, whatever... your boring me now. You obviously did'nt spot the irony did you.

Jealousy.... What a stupid statement. I've already said it's faster. At least ST's get more looks :-P

I know, god knows why they put it on top of the engine, apart from lack of space. I think the mongoose is supposed to be a lot better than the janspeed one. Most of the power is gained because the standard manifold and flexi is not wide enough. Shaun> Yes they look similar on the outside but...

OK, I've migrated from a Clio and bought an ST because of the crap build quality of the clio. Within 2 and a half years I had a new gearbox, clutch, 2 sunroof handles, 2 rotary switches, 2 ignition coils, drive train seal, new battery and god knows what else. Everything rattled including the...

Think the police rule is 10% + 3mph to pull you up if it was a cop car (which they didnt) but if it was a camera then you might have to accept it.

Mine would not start once. It was the battery that was dead..only 1 amp left in it. Got AA out and they replaced it. It makes me wonder if the monkeys at the reno garage swopped it. You can test the immobiliser by putting tin foil around the key before starting it so that it blocks it from...

18,000 or two years at 160 quid

thats a good price. I paid feckin £640 and I have 2yrs, older and more driving exp. I even paid it online! Its only group 5.

Whats the lowest everyones got a standard 182 for? Theres a black unregistered UK 182 at my local Reno dealer for £10,995 and wondered what price everyone else was getting. Unfortunantly with it being black it will look dynamiqueish. Still quite a good price though.

You should pussy-foot your engine too much when it is new or it will go slower. Also the rev limiter will kick in on lower RPM when the engine is cold.
