I got terrible MPG when I used Tesco 99. Think its the bio-ethanol content

1. Pootle - 172 mk2 2. Justin-172 Mk 2 3. White16valver - 16v (duh! lol) 4. Lee - Trophy 5. Al - (maybe in gazeratti's car) 6. Gazeratti - 172 mk2 7. Peperami - 172 Cup 8. Baldylocks - 172 Cup

You should see www.172cup.co.uk! Its been invaded by bots (something like that) that have created new users and posted p**n threads & posts everywhere!!! Just as well no one uses that forum really :(

In the WRC they do. Rally cross is bit more of a free for all

Its quite funny they picked you up in McDonalds car park!

How much dude?

How much was the 182 manifold? new or second hand? Think I saw someone say they were quoted "under £300" on here the other day

Indeed. Mine has a lever above the grille that you pull out (after pulling the lever inside the car) to release the bonnet. Would of thought yours should be the same

I've tested mine to 130mph. No worries LOL

Thats better Maz. I got you the first time ;) In what way did the changes you made compromise the handling? Was it just ride quality on road that suffered or what? Was it bad on track?

I think she means accept the looks of the car at standard ride height! She was being a little confusing I agree. I would take 'to deal' with something to mean actually doing something to change it. Then it would be 'dealt' with ;)

Thats actually illegal I believe. (If you were being serious about that?) A good trick is to name her on your insurance as named driver - knocked about £50 off my premium

Nice. I like the F1 colour scheme. Tbh though I reckon it looks better without. That polished plenum (?) looked sweet on its own :cool:

How the f**k has Evoo's 172 made 183bhp with only an exhaust?

Re: 1*2 rr results (update2) Second that :approve:

WTF? Are you for real?

The old one. Motorway was OK as long as I feathered the throttle slightly. Normal driving around town (around 3k) it was too boomy for my taste. Sounded f**king mean on full throttle though :evil:

When I had a K-tec stealth fitted it cured the 4k rattle. Admittably the back box had fallen off on the way to K-tec so it was'nt like I could hear it anymore! (I also had a sports cat fitted at the same time, so the problem 'could' have been there too) I just asked K-tec to have a look...

Thats right Dan. Horses for courses and all that :)

Hang on a minute. I thought you'd spat the dummy and were asking for your money back?

PMSL Ok bye bye Mike.

I went to Trent for 3 years. Can't remember seeing one Cup tbh - and believe me I was looking, I was pretty obsessed with getting one throughout the final year!

IMO thats really the reason you did'nt buy a Cup. Not why people do buy Cup's. Some times maybe. Personally price did'nt come into it at all. Ralph - you were so right!

I hit it very rarely - only done it 2 or 3 times. The power drops off before you reach the limiter so theres not much point IMO. (Except it can be argued that you'll drop into the next gear at higher revs, hence nearer 5k power zone.) Won't do any harm every now and again if the engines warmed...

That what I thought! Those two cars are completely irrelevant to this discussion :S

Marks is serviced more regularly than normal I believe. Around 40k is when there supposed to start to fly anyhow. I'm nearly on 41k and it gets a good workout regularly. Loves it :evil:

I'm starting to think that is the case too. Fine with me! What I'm wondering now is if inlet manifold matching is so worth while on a Cup. Not as much to gain maybe?

LOL! I love the 'beef' spotted threads! Lets hope the accused responds

Howdy. Welcome to the club :D

Keep it. Your obviously not completely sold on the R26 and still enjoy the 182. How did you feel after you test drove the 182? Did you struggle to make a decision like you are now? I suspect not
