So not much other than having some "interesting" moments in the wet. The last I was sure I was going to end up in a ditch! Luckily I had the sense to lift off and bring the back out to cure the understeer but boy did I doodoo myself!
Decided this month im going to be spraying the wheels in...
With all the hassle you have had im pretty happy Ijust went with the cup spoiler in the end! That said you would think it would be lighter! The cup spoiler must weigh twice as much as the standard one!
I wonder why the consumption is that much worse. I know the ratios are shorter and theres a bit more weight but still!
Mines not exactly a featherweight being a non cup 172.
When I stuck mine on cruise at 56mph I got a 51.8mpg average once :D
With general driving and thrashes its rare if I get below 37-38. Without cruise if I just drove like a normal person 40 is very easy.
Love it! Still needs a cup spoiler though :D
If these didnt have bad gearboxes and didnt get such bad MPG I would work on my 4 days off and save to get one.
Let me gueas you left a tool under the hood? LOL done that a few times! Speaking of which I found a nut in my bay yesterday. Guessing there must be a nut missing somewhere off my car :(
So rather than buy new wheels im going to refresh the ones I have. Going to keep the car fairly standard so I can do some trackdays this year.
What are people's thoughts on...
Gloss black?
Ford graphite grey?
Iceberg silver with the diamonds graphite grey (already are)
Did you get a spoiler in the end? I got mine for £90 off ebay. Sod buying one for £120 off CS lol
Its really not very hard to spray a spoiler yourself. In fact I found it a doddle!
Cool. I just never thought it would be safe to have it on an axle stand on one side and then jacking it up on the other. To me it seems like iit would fall off the stand lol
