105mph out of my 1.2 8v down the biggest hill in Kent. Top of Wrotham Hill M20 down to Aylesford M26 jct. Thats a good 2-3 mile straight run down a hill lorries will struggle to do 35 up.
No way it was going faster than that. If you think the front end of a RS goes light...
Do you not have to tell the insurance if you replace anything with non OEM parts?
Performace pads would be top of the list of things checked if you have an off IMO.
You do realise the 172 is pretty much the same car minus the wheelbarrow peashooter exhausts? ;)
Good luck in finding a good one. There is enough choice out there atm.
I went to see one when I was looking. Cracking price. The interweb site said it had 30k miles. Got there and it had 54k on the clock.
First they said that it was a different car. So I produced the print and then that became. Oh, sorry, we have a new guy doing on website. Must have got it wrong...
Knowsit big man.
Not to mention the sound. First couple of times you get it upto 4k revs in 4th you'll cream yourself. Still makes me smile now.
Other things you'll like is the climate control (bar the stupid fan buzzing) and the xenons. I wouldnt buy a car without them now. Xennons are...
After reading the insurance section I'd try out a couple of online quotes.
Expect £2k plus.
I'm paying £500. With £100 excess, protected claims, exended hire car, buiness and legal cover, but I'm 26.
