Which means more grip innit? :confused:I thought with LSD id be able to get a much better start, drive through 1st, 2nd with minimal spin, and when it comes to corners, 1 wheel wont start breaking away and losing me grip!? Which means an all round faster ride?

yeh...i got a compnay who can. wait a sec. Have to wait untill my mate calls me back.

Need more grip. What about LSD? Good/bad idea? Discuss please...

Ahh, nice one...will look into that. I thought, as the dealer couldnt find the problem, ill take the techi out for a test drive and show him the problems, and teach him a lesson..:devilish:

Yeh, i used to get a cold shower in the mornings. The sunroof has guttering which drains excess water to the side of the car. sometimes these gutterings get blocked. Or it could be grit/dirt on the seal. Best thing to do one Sunday is take the sunroof apart, give it all a good clean...

Almost the same noise, but it only happens once, after you pull away, like the brakes were sticking or something else mechnical? Whereas the clunking from on & off throttle happens all the time.

Yehh, first problem i had with mine, stinks like fook.

Clunk when on & off the throttle. Gearbox mount Excess vibration through steering wheel when accelorating hard. Driveshaft maybe Excess Wind noise. Quality(I should stop moaning.) Peeling of glossy trim on inside door handle. Quality (More moaning, must quit) sticky clonk when pulling away...

Done 9k now in the Cuppa. Got a few of the normal probs seaping through. Clunk when on & off the throttle. Excess vibration through steering wheel when accelorating hard. Excess Wind noise. Peeling of glossy trim on inside door handle. sticky clonk when pulling away after 1/2secs...

LMFAO. Harold you gay (y)!! Made my day anyway.

Yep, good workout if you ask me. Throw it round a few bends and bumpy roads and im knacked! All good tho, lovely feel for whats going on!:D

^^^Fuking loud mother of all holy sh*t. Buy one, i am!;)

Oh sh*t, didnt know that. Nevermind, theyre still gripping well so no harm done. I spun the shiney sh*t off as i nearly crashed round the first bend and just drove normally from then on. And no, someone burnt my caravan, and the others got no wheels.(got her in a sale)

If you drive like a complete pussy yeh, but drive like a c**t and there bedded in 25 miles! Racist!

:DAwesome arent they!! Didnt think any tyre would be able to grip that good in the wet! Try braking really hard, that suprised me the most!

Not sure how really. average of 500 miles per weekend. Got this petrol addiction that need fixing. These Cliosport meets do a lot of em, but well worth it i say! Also, really weird noise when i floor it in first. loud vibrating noise all the way though the gear, also does it through second if...

:o Its been a long time, but by the sounds of it..will have been worth the wait. Nice one, Enjoy! P.S When can we get them fitted!!!?

Reading...i got them for £60 Per Corner. Going prices seem to be between £50-£60 per tyre, then the valve and balancing on top. VFM i think. You may as well give the contis a nudge and do a few burnouts, roundabouts and hard braking!!

Get those Rainsports on the front my man. Loads of wet grip which is what you need with no TC, and more importantly the breaking in the wet is splean ripping. Enjoy.

Really sorry to hear hippychick, but this isnt the first ive heard of a situation like yours. A guy who used to use this forum, wont post name, bought one of the first Cups...About a 4/6 weeks ago his wife hit a cerb lightly and broke a wishbone, then as she was on the phone explaining...

Just Tyres in Reading West. Along the A329 towards Oxford. Nice bunch of lads there, did a good job at good prices.

Well i was going to go for the Eagle F1s GSD2s, however the company messed me around and i needed them on Saturday. So i went to another company in Reading(only place in Slough/Maidenhead/Windsor/Bracknell and Reading) who had some performance tyres in my size on the shelf. They didnt have F1s...

Id Recommend the Bridgestone S-03s for £54 per tyre. very good grip.

http://www.mytyres.netwww.mytyres.net seem quite cheap!

Yea ive seen you about! Im sure i saw a girl driving it, and a bloke the next. heh! Make you drive fast!?? I wouldnt do that, may invite which would be rude not to except but wouldnt make you!;) havent put the sounds in it yet...but have got some light weight plans for some good sounds...

ahh ha! Coolio. Im a Maidenhead boy myself. Live up in Stubbings/Pinkneys Green. What colours your 172, where abouts in Maidenhead you live? May have seen you around and about. Should meet up sometime and compare notes! lol

Yeh mate...where you from?

Gone for Iceburg? Good Choice! Myself and Jon_r made the same decision...I ran mine in for the first 600 miles. Nothing over 4k. Seems to be running fine now...very happy with it. Only a couple of common problems which the warrenty is there to sort out. Nothing to worry me. Just have to wait...

7.5k 53 plate Cup Oil in at 6k. New tyres at 7.5k. Runs ok, knocking when tap throttle, another knock when wheels spin/jump. Gearbox does feel lumpy..but reno innit.
