You need to go to the 'Regions' section (I will add you when I am on pc at home...bear with me as brain like sieve) or send me a pm and I will put you on there. :)
I'm a Meg's endurance tyre gel fan. Use first time, let dry and then reapply and last a lot longer than AG instant tyre shine (and instantly dull again!!!)
172 Cups are getting towards 10+ years old for the first ones (52 plate)...so 10 years at an average of 12k wouls be 120k for 'average' mileage. My Cup seemed to be getting stronger as it was hitting 100k...but didnt get there...was 500 miles short when she was sent to petrol heaven. :(
It would make mid range better..but you lose top speed. For the price and hassle of doing it...you wont get much in terms of bhp increase (1 or 2 if you are lucky), just better driveability. Its not worth it mate. An old friend has his 172Cup with sports cat 200 cell instead of 300 cell, 182...
Have a look at aria.co.uk as they do overclocked systems whereby they do all the work in overclocking an i5 so will be pretty good to use. I have one and highly recommend them. Good prices and they have a forum should you have any questions or issues. :)
A chip under the size of a 5 pence piece can be fixed with silicone. The crack you have pictured will fail...especially if the MOT tester is doing it as he should. The only way something of that size wouldnt be 'so' bad is if it was by the scuttle panel on bottom of screen...but I wouldnt want...
Yep...its not race what you brought...without 90% of what it arrived with.
I did track time at Rockingham in the Cup a few years ago with a bootful of bbq stuff!!! B'coz BBQ car!! Pmsl
I know that...but the drone at m'way speeds isnt too great, but makes car sound more meaty if you are giving it some beans accelerating. I had parcel shelf out on Friday (as had bike in) and forgot to put it back...sounded unbearable at 70ish mph
I'd leave them in...for the sake of the drive down and running a couple of kilos there's no advantage...you will be deaf on m'way due to exhaust drone and you need a benchmark to get yourself better from.
Mike has already suggested the place. Its just if there is anywhere to park nearby we are after mate. :) (otherwise, what was point in Mike suggesting anything?)
Mike has come back to me and the meet will be at following place.
Redhill, 1 Spitfire Close, Stafford. ST16 1GX
(From Mike) The Redhill seems alright and they do an all you can eat Chinese buffet on Mondays so should be good for anyone who's hungry. They still have the 2 meals for £10 thing...
