Getting my 19k miler on the rollers in January to set a benchmark...will do it annually thereafter for the next 100k miles again. Hoping for gains year on year like my Cup has done.

My thoughts exactly. I was a good 30-40 metres away as it came into view and the music wasn't that loud...is their hearing that sensitive? It helps me discover new roads. Take the long way home, take random turns I've never taken before and it always gets me back on track. Also tells me when...

Wow. 4WD and a significant power advantage beats 2WD with a slight weight advantage. Shocking.

Nice work Chris, looks stunning.

A*se. Fixed it now.

Nice purchase. Always had a bit of a soft spot for these. Will keep any eye out when I'm passing.

2000 miles? It's barely off the bench! Mine's on 19k now and still feels ultra tight. The way my 172 Cup changed character from new over its 130k miles was marked. 20k on these lumps is nicely bedded in. 40k is properly run-in. 60k plus and they start to loosen and do some proper work. As...

Came across this one on my way back from the Goodwood Pistonheads meet last weekend. Not sure I dealt with it appropriately...should I have beeped my horn and shouted w***er out the window as I went past? Or should I have just not bothered stopping in the first place?

That's a good colour combo. Nice.

My Cup is unique, it has orange indicator bulbs front and rear. One of a kind IIRC.

I couldn't get any benefit from my exisiting NCD when insuring a second car, so bit the bullet, and paid the price and built up a second NCD. I wish you could tansfer it...I'm soon to lose my second car, and all the NCD that goes with it!

I had a few early issues sorted under warranty (wiring loom, front suspension knocking) and have had two replacement throttle bodies. Apart from that, from brand new to over 130k miles, the engine has never missed a beat, and yearly dyno runs show it building more power year on year. Even...

My cat's being refitted this week for its last MOT in my hands, so I'm having Mike/Dave leave it in place. The last 105k miles have been run with the decat so will be interesting to see if it feels stangled/less responsive.

Nice car looks nice.

At least mine made it into this one LOL Was freezing, stayed as long as I could.

Stratos won the day for me, hero car. Good to see everyone again.

First time tried I getting it away without the ESP on. Rubbish launch but seems to haul well enough once rolling. Rolling road in January, see what it's got. Hoping to get this lump to 130k+ as well :approve: Excuse the new camera, stability is excellent in-hand, but it struggles a bit on the...

Makes sense. Next time out I'm removing my 172 Cup brain, and will start braking and entering at 200 speeds. The reason it looked so boring on the video was because I was approaching everything as though I was in the Cup i.e. far to slow for what the chassis can handle.

Yup. Someone did exactly that on mine before I bought it, with 18k miles and 9 months left on the warranty. There's no better way of doing it IMO.

Panasonic HDC-SD90 on a B. Hague headrest strut mount.

To add to the debate; My 172 Cup is undoubtedly faster in a straight line and accelerates quicker when exiting a turn, but, I still reach the same peak speeds at the end of the straights in the 200. Why's that? Far more speed carried through and out of the turn. The 200 is so much more...

Mmmmm, nice.

:cool:

Yup. Can't figure out why people say they're not as much fun as the MkIIs. The MkIIIs move about just like them...you just have to go faster to make it happen.

First dry session in the 200, tip-toeing and feeling my way around. Came up on a 350/370Z that was struggling with the lines, but booted it down the straight. I was doing OK until I hooked 4th :evil:

Can anyone print an extra one???

I cba registering...chances of entry refusal if I meet up with you lot and just turn up at the gates? Goodwood is an open circuit 365 days a year so how would/could they refuse?

Didn't they only add that after the ASA upheld complaints that speeds depicted within the adverts weren't true to life though?

LOL Brimmed it again tonight after another full tank, indicated 32.1, actual 34.7. Nothing wrong with that after making progress.

It's manageable, but not easy. Parking is tough, track work is OK, excellent feel comes through, but your shoulders will ache by the end of the day.
