So your mate cant drive then lol. Amongst other things, i've had 2 x 106 gti's, a 306 Rallye, a 182, a 172 cup & drive a TT 225 a couple of times a week (girlfriends). The TT is faster point to point. Fact. If you havent driven a TT yourself, imho you are unable to form a rational & informed...

Standard non-owner/not driven one hard comment. No doubt pinky is a hairdresser/gay as well :rolleyes:

Use the Brembo HC's then, much cheaper & give the same result, 12 laps of the ring in 4 hours + DS2500 + HC + braided lines + castrol dot 4 = no fade; unless your an animal lol. I've also used the ds2500 on both my 106's & my 306, i punished both on track, they were fine ;) In all honesty...

Can you actually drive? Best to get the most from what you have before throwing money down the toilet imho. My suggestion = brakes + tuition/track days. A good driver will show a coilovered + tuned 172 the way home in a 1.2. Search for Fred. He can pilot an automobile as far as im aware.

How the hell can you tell that from some pics on autotrader lol ... it looks a lot better than the other nail for sure :)

Looking great as ever James, but seriously, cant believe you didnt change the brake pads :S, huge schoolboy error, especially after all that work on the ducts lol. DS2500 + Brembo HC. Done. I assume you already have braided lines & decent dot 4?

One assumed that as he was fitting a bodykit & his car had 'got low' he was a bit gangsta & would appreciate my 'down with it' lingo, clearly im too old to talk like a young 'un these days ;)

A 306 Rallye ;)

Brap brap brap, is it coz it iz lowz blood?

I'd maybe ask why the drivers side wing is a completely different colour to the rest of the car. Whole thing reeks of neglect tbh, 10 owners lol ... if a trader is selling it that cheap, to get it off their forecourt asap, theres probably a reason!! Personally, it it were me, id save up a...

I cant believe you even had to ask lol ...

About 2.5-3 seconds behind an M3 then, so slow ;) tbh, i dont think you buy a Clio V6 to go fast (cos it will try & kill you lol), you buy it to ponce about in attracting thee ladiiies ...

Yup, they blow up lol

Very cool, one of my friends actually raced in the 2003 & 2004 Championships. Great cars :cool:

Stunning, makes me miss mine :dapprove:

Tbh, they are all different, french build tollerances are shocking, some cups do decent power, so do some normal 172s, just like the fabled 130bhp 106 gti's/saxo vts' ... just depends on whether its a monday morning or friday afternoon car tbh. Fact is, the cup was built as a stripped down...

172 cup is faster/more fun than the 182. FACT. I've had both. I agree with that tbh, most people simply jump on the band wagon. But, in Feb '08, i back to back test drove a '53 172 with 50k and a '53 172 cup with 55k on it, ended up buying the cup as it felt more 'alive' :D Nothing to do with...

This is bullsh1t :rolleyes:. I used to work with one of the largest suppliers of ANPR cameras in the world and asked about this .... answer is, they can read 3D plates & incorrectly spaced plates without any problem whatsoever, they only get grumpy with the dodgy dots that make U's into O's, etc...

M3 OWNED ;)

Front, better than before, back worse. Not for me im afraid. Edition 30 or nothing tbh. They're getting a Porsche on their styling as well, ie lazy ...

For me its not so much the smooth look i like, but the 'improved' standard appearance, M3 GT wings look ace, but only on the M3 GT imho :) I actually bought a standard sport boot spoiler a couple of months back, but essentially didnt have the balls to drill 4 ruddy great big holes in my boot lid...

You're obviously just as bad, you noticed it ;) Re: the interior, just used some liquid leather cleaner & conditioner, not been coloured/dyed at all as it dont think it really needs it. Jon - need to get another rolling road day sorted as well, could combine that with pub lunch/BBQ at mine...

They didnt charge me any extra for air filter, exhaust or seats, would have been £30 extra for coilovers iirc. Mods are done on a like for like basis as far as im aware - could be wrong though tbh. Best off giving them a call, or HIC for that matter - although they are the same company ...

This is the only way an e46 should be modified ... CSL + White = :o If you've ever been to the ring, you will have seen it hooning around ... More sexy photos here: http://www.americancarzone.com/forums/3-series/14490-rare-alphine-white-m3-csls.html

Have you tried Flux, i ended up paying just under £400 for mine (im an old fart lol) whereas everyone else wanted £600+ ...

Been a while, but time for a little update now I suppose!! Serviced the car about 6 weeks ago now, did the oil & filter, pollen filter, usual checks, etc, then reset it back to 5 green lights via the ‘paperclick’ method, although I’ve done 2.5k miles since then so im down to 4...

:rasp: In all seriousness, all a 172 needs to be epic is DS2500's, Brembo HC Discs, braided lines & some dot 4. Spend the rest on a trip to the ring or some track days.

Put it in the bank, then put clio on pistonheads, sell it. Combine the £3k you get for it with the £1k you have in your bank account. Go on pistonheads, search for e36 M3, look at car, drive car, buy car. The end :)

No idea who you are, no idea who sophance is, but welcome anyway. I clearly dont spend enough time in General talking piish
