B****cks.

106,000 miles, average 300 miles between stops. Then, take the 106,000 and divide it by 300. LOL at some of these replies...I've had a few 'stares' before as well, but this was my first proper question. Hope I don't get another...thought he was going to try following me at one point.

It's happend about 10 times today, driving along as normal and with no warning or pattern as to why or when, the electrical warning light (below the fuel light) comes on and my speed drops down slowly until it steadys out at about 60mph. Engine refuses to pull above 2,750rpm. There's no...

V owners need not apply ;) Had my first one tonight in over 5 years and 350 fill-ups... Bit wierd really, he asked about all my track stickers then proceeded to bounce the back of his 15 year old Subaru Justy off the ground as we stood there to show me how much fun it was "round t'bends"...

Can I come to your next 'gathering' please?

100% true. Suspension changes over time are miniscule in the whole scheme of things. Power output of the engines is also widely variable. A good 172 will pull away from a 182. A good 182 will pull away from a 172. So yes, it all comes down to the driver's ability, and how much they're...

Yes it was ahead...but as was said above...it didn't pull away properly until 5th.

227 bhp/ton of lovliness. Good result, I was expecting lower weight though.

LOL at another 50k. It'll be a pile of dust long before that.

Leave it as is, nothing wrong with a bit of gap.

"Everyone looks". Yeah, they're laughing at YOU, loser.

ASW time, and not either an ST or a TDCi...but here's the Mondeo I had...loved it.

Yeah but you did get 10 more bhp than a 172 Cup so the extra lard's not so noticeable ;) Those 182 buyers were had hook, line, and sinker by Renault, more weight, bugger all else LOL

Heavy is the word you're looking for. Congratulations, you've seen the light. Stay with the Cup!

I miss them. Sniff.

If you're going to do some harm it'll most likely be BIG, so the £750 excess isn't too bad...even a gentle trip into the gravel could cause that much damage.

:cool: Forgot to add, completely forget DS2500s.

Or hit F9 to manually recalculate?

PFs are good but too messy. Blues are solid but boring, no bite from cold. CLs let you (and everyone else) know they're working. Can't comment on any others, but for track use alone out of the above, CLs for me every time.

But the point of fog-lights as has been pointed out is that they throw out a wide and very short spread of light to be used in extreme conditions and at low speed. Unless you drive everywhere down these country lanes at less than 20mph, the extra light gained from fog lights gives you no...

I don't get all this enormous front speaker malarky tbh. Mine measure about 200mm top to bottom, are tucked away and have no problem whatsoever filling to an adequate standard a 20ft x 17ft lounge. Or am I really missing something? Big is the way forwards?

Exactly. At least it's declared and you'd stand a chance then. I told mine that my ECU swap was to eliminate an annoying running fault/hiccup, and that it swelled the torque curve but gave no overall maximum power gain. No charge.

What I made on the swap covered 3 years membership back then. Join up!

Calm down!!! We're just pointing out that; a) you have a good genuine ATW figure b) in reality that's probably putting your flywheel power in the mid-to-late 170s.

LOL at insurance companies not checking things like this! Insurance companies are in trouble, share prices have plummeted, and most have pension problems. Do you really think that they won't do 2 hrs work checking this to invalidate your insurance and avoid paying out on a £10k claim?

146.7 at the wheels is a good figure. Translating that to 190+ at the fly is a bit optimistic I'd say.

Mine never has, before or after I stripped it...although when I put the louder exhaust on I started to get something somewhere slightly buzzing. If they all stayed standard they'd probably not rattle, but harder suspension, resonance from a louder exhaust and massive f*** off subs will all...

172 Cups... They last forever if you're sympathetic with them (smooth inputs, heel/toe changes etc.). Engines are strong and have plenty of grunt as standard. Suspension as standard is well up to regular and hard track use. Brakes are the only thing I'd say are an essential upgrade, but...

LOL at the swear filter putting 'babbage' in instead of ( until! I got the 4x40 headunit from a member on here as so many upgrade. Paid £20 for one, then sold my old 4x22 for £35 on eBay. Winner.
