:D Was that you mate? Couldn't see any CS stickers on it. You should have done your shopping quicker, I could have been spotted. I never get spotted. They didn't have a 21mm swan neck either so not doing my front dampers this weekend! What kind of a world do we live in when neither Halfords or...

That awkward feeling when you realise that stunning blonde you glimpsed was actually a bloke.

I was thinking more of strain on the mounts but hey if it is lighter... Makes for good under bonnet pron I guess. Will wait to see dyno proof :p Seriously though I'd be looking at mounting fully to the engine, although there's always the possibility it'd start rubbing the battery up the wrong...

Looks lovely but I gotta say the weight of it must be substantial compared to a ropey silicone thing and as some have said the mounting is iffy. Looks like you've attached it to the ECU bracket and I think they tend to snap at the other end where it attaches to the watsit under the thingy...

I spotted an ad for a 182 Cup series too. Will be on Motors TV and everything. All this good press, soon values will start rising and we can all claim it's an investment :) Will have to give it a full read later (back to work with me!)

In my Cup.. no. Not once. Realised last night I still grin almost every time I get out, sweaty or not, I'm happy.

Have just picked up the August issue. More RS Clio content (and a name drop for CS!) :) Immediately followed by a guide to filling bushes in with polyurethane

10 minutes ago. I was the gormless twit with the loud music in the MB Cup going t'other way. I would have waved but you know.. it's morning.

When I first got mine I kept trying to put it in between third and fifth, accelerating down a slip road and then................ .. .. hmm.. there's a gear here somewhere.

182 plate ending VWC in Tescos car park at lunch time, I parked next to you but your car was still there when I left so you didn't see me :( Shiny black thumbgrips. Looked proper clean like. Silver ph1 spotted on the A46 heading North towards M69/M6, ~16:30-16:45 Again looked to be in good...

yea well.. make them lawyers do it or something then :I threats of violence! that is a criminal matter :p

tbh I don't rate Ariels, I'd sooner a BAC or an Ultima. But I don't think you'll be able to afford any of them if you're going round spending £39 on a badge. Oh I'm sorry, you meant aerial, spelt that way and non-captialised didn't you :p sorry :(

Nope, stone cold serious. The splitter gives it 20% more downforce and reduces drag and because it doesn't have a CD changer or aircon or xenons it has a smaller alternator so it has less parasitic loss so even though the flywheel power is the same as a normal 172 the wheel power is more. The...

Erm ok. I've just done the rears as they needed doing. Have sport conti 3s on the front with a fair bit still on them and obviously will be replacing them soon :) Although it's not rarely used, it's always used.

The giveaway for the suspension pack is the anthracite wheels, obviously easily faked though so to be sure you need to measure the bolt spacing. Which bolt spacing exactly I'm not entirely sure ;) Believe it's where the front strut bolts to the hub, is different on cup/non-cup 182s. Gratz on the...
