Well on the way to work this morning, I gave it some in 4th and got to 105 with it screaming, but was on limiter. I had mine to 120mph on 13s but doubt itd do that now its on 15s, struggled to get to 105mph to be honest.

Theres one in the car park where I work but I didnt think you could get a blue mk 2 except the Cup? Its a really dark blue and looks so nice, def 172 as well, wide front archs, silver 2.0 16v badges.

A guy on RSC has a blue one, on the RSC gumball, 19 16vavles where apparently faster.

Mines a phase 2 as well! Ah well, goes to show difference in identical cars can be quite a bit!

RT-ED, I agree, some days I swear its quick as f*ck then other days it seems to be sulking and takes forever to get to 20mph!! lol I just cleaned mine so obviously itd blow away any other car on the road, wait till its mucky again though, Ill have robin reliants overtaking me!

110mph in 4th? Im sure mine hits 99 ish in 4th, what phase is yours James? Also thanks to Ben H, when I started this thread I expected someone to say get summit fast like previously! The 1.4RT is no rocket but as you say, for a non sporty model it can hold its own quite well.

Nah, only stickers add BHP, surely you know that. BIG kenwood sticker in the back adds 20bhp, ask any nova driver

Mine seems to get to 80 quite easily but struggles after that. Also, if you cruise at like 70 and try to give it some, it struggles unless you drop a gear or 2!

Sorry, its the Alien roof spoiler which I got from prima racing

Ive had mine do it in 10 seconds, reckon I could get it to late 9 with a bit of practice. I strapped me camera to the dash and videod it! The one at 10 secs was up a slight hill. http://members.lycos.co.uk/zcliohttp://members.lycos.co.uk/zclio in videos

Someone explain to me what a solenoid is? Is it like a switch that you use to open the boot from inside the car or summit?

Mine sounds quite healthy even when its hitting the limiter, get that nice popping sound from me exhaust! Id appreciate it if someone (RT-ED) got back to me with there gear ratios! So far, its about 58 in 2nd and 98 ish in 4th but not sure bout the rest!

Can someone with an RT with standard 13s on tell me there top speed in second gear? Mine hits 58 on the limiter but its ony 15s so wondering whether the speeds actually 60/61? Seems daft having it limit at 58 so you have to change to 3rd to get to 60, the 0-60 dash obviously lot slower having to...

I think you mean this -> http://photos.walla.co.il/ts.cgi?tsscript=guest.folder&path=200303130049014994&user=orit_perhttp://photos.walla.co.il/ts.cgi?tsscript=guest.folder&path=200303130049014994&user=orit_per

Well ask yourself how much would you be prepared to pay for them, would you really pay £400 for some 2nd hand, 1 year old, kerbed alloys?

Thats a dooing not a booing chris, everyone knows that! :)

Didnt think it had a carb

lol @ dash

In a word, no

What car do you drive Steve?

And the white wheels look naff! In my opinion

Oh and my cars not lowered cos of all the above!

Yep, I agree with KDF, Anders and Edd but not Steve! If low, rock hard suspensions was best for road use, why do we not see it on any production car, even Ferrari have suspension thats not rock hard and has a sensible ride height.

I didnt think lowering improved any cars handling, companies spend millions developing suspension for cars just for someone to come along and put £50 springs on it!

Why no gold Paul?

Yeh, gold alloys better! Think of the willy, different shade of blue but looks so good on gold!

White alloys? Everything else sounds good but I dont think the white alloys would suit it.

Dido Steve, thats what I was trying to say but in much more words lol I hate it though when people say, its only a Civic, or its only a Saab or whatever and cant accept when other cars are simple faster then theres!

All you 172 guys are just saying the same as the CTR guy though, my cars faster then your car! At the risk of gettin flamed: As I havent driven both I cant really comment but on paper theres hardly owt between the 172 and CTR, itll all be down to driver skill! Put joe muppet in a Enzo...
