looks poor to me. the back reminded me straight away of a bravo.

amazing!! I actually thought the first clip was a bit better tbh. the way he locked up front brakes, and then handbrake and then someoversteer while scrubbing off sh*tloads of speed. incredible!!!

that valver looks lovely. i think the front of the valver looks soooo much better than the 182, but the back of the 182 looks nicer. both lovely cars!!!!

with the chip they are pretty impressive. i must say that I am so bothered by the look of the car and the stigma that is attached however that I would NOT buy one. S3 EVERY time over one of those. as for wanting a soft top - go for the boxter then.

if youve got the cash for petrol and servicing (and just in case something goes wrong and you dont have warranty) then get it.

have had problems with the girlfriend, or just been missing home (I live in oz) and have gone out for a quick drive that has ended up a couple of hours later with a satisfied me and a couple of hundred kms behind. NO GOOD FOR RESALE, but good for the mind. Love it.

also have a mate that has an old civic thats had a 1.6 crx engine dropped in it, and exhaust. i think its only around 150 bhp, but when i had a go with him in my 172 it was a lot faster than i thought it would be. i only had a car length on him by 100kph (after which i started stretching away a...

sorry for the delay - been off work. just couldnt stomach the brute nature of the ute or monaro - they really are heavy heavy unrefined brutes - totally opposite to the 172/182!!! know what you mean about bhp though and also the sound of the v6 or v8!! was thinking about the 350z - but...

was reading the 98 ron fuel discussion, but didnt want to hijack it with this question: going on a track day in 2 weeks - have already got half bottle of octane boost from before. will it help power? cheers
