Should I get this in writing though or should the word of the callcentre guy be enough? Cheers Fraser

How much is the 172 cup dropped and whats it on?

Hmmmm... Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll try fred's though ;)

OOoh just saw a cheaper v6 255 with lower mileage...

The best 17inch tyres are 16's ;) Exaltos i think are supposed to be the best all round tyre.

lol ;) The tyres might just not be as grippy a compound as the last set I had. I.e different batch.

Well if it isnt wheelspin it might be engine or gearbox mounts, but it doesnt happen every time, only when you shift hard and are aggressive with the clutch. And as for the 300bhp comment I might just have a healthy cup! ;) lol

Well unfortunately I'll prob have the keep the 195's on the front as Ive only done 1,000 miles on them and I dont fancy having the narrower tyres on the back. But I'll let you know what theyre like.

One thing that you might not have thought about..... How much will the rear tyres be? Are they not 20 inch?? They are the driving wheels and you will go though them quite quickly at £350 each every time. I think the 350Z looks a bit plainer but it would still be my choice as its the best all...

Well if you shift hard theres a knock which sounds like the tyres have lost traction. Im talking about going from the red line in 3rd, hard into 4th.

Ive got a 172 cup and I find its fast but its let down by wheelspin in 1st-3rd gears when driving hard in the dry. I even get a chirp in 4th as I change up off the limiter in the dry! Ive ordered 205's to replace the 195's which should help, but what other things can I do? Im running 32 psi...

Ive just ordered two new pe2 exaltos in 205/45 to replace the 195's... I need more traction!! ;) But I think its quite a good upgrade.

I think he means the colour, but I'd have a v in pink if somone gave me it. ;) Just cos it looks stunning IMO.

I dont really mind so much on the colour. True, blue is more common, but it means that you pay less for it initially, but I love the yellow and the black is quite nice too.... ;) A guy near me had a blue 255 like the one in the pic but wrote it off after a month or so, so you have to be careful...

HEY!!! ;) Its mine even though i probably wont get it ;)

Hmmm decisions decisions...

Haha I know that my head says the house but my heart says the car. I think Im going to have to agree with my head... :(

Yeah its the least exciting option for me but its the most sensible....

Thats normally a sign to walk away... lol

The green one has gone now.... I have the following options.... Used v6 255 at similar or lower price than the one above.... Used 111r which Ive seen for £17K with relatively low mileage... (Not very practical everyday..) (See this thread)...

Ive just seen this on pistonheads, and it caught my eye. A bit higher mileage but Im sure you could knock the guy down to about £15k. Opinions please.... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/93852.htm

Hmmm well i'll just take it easy. Its probably best to have the narrower tyres at the front. Less chance of wrapping it round a lampost. Cheers for the thoughts though...

Re: Loosing weight, Or you could buy yourself a 172 cup which doesnt have air con and has the 2.0 ltr engine and save yourself the hastle! ;)

Yeah 3% ;) I thought i would get more...

^^ I phoned to check and they said it was fine! :D

The tyres on the front though have only done about 1500 miles though.....

Just got off the phone to mytyres and two michelin pilot exalto 2's in the above size for £145.70. That includes delivery.... Or £72.85 per tyre.... Not bad eh ;) The only issue is that Ive got two new 195's contis on the front. Should I put the wider 205's on the front or put them on the...

Whats the point in posting that If you arent going to give us a price and how much of a saving for it? Im paying £480 for my 172 cup, 25 years old, 7 years ncb and its insured for work. Not bad!

I've bought exactly the same unit and fitted it myself. However I've heard that for the steering wheel remote its a dash off job. Im not really wanting this, if im going to sell the car in a while...

You should have slammed on your brakes... Would have screwed him for insurance. Some of his mods prob werent declared so he would get done for it. Cheers Fraser
