I cant clean my car for sh*t, i have a valeter who does a good job, not painstaking attention to detail but fine for £15. -Rob

Will you be able to resist modding? I would actually say the valver would be a better trackday car.. -Rob

Cool. Lose the mudflaps! -Rob

You only need the covers? You dont need the whole seat?? -Rob

Not really. Green stuff are pants Id go for Ferodo DS2500s (i think) had them on a GTV V6 and now an NSX, great. -Rob

Jesus, get a life!

Not many cars are lucky enough to have specifically designed tyres. Stay with them. -Rob

Personally think EBC Greenstuff are cack. Ferodo are the best. -Rob

They look like youve stuck them on..which i presume you have? To be honest a standard valver looks better than your car IMHO. -Rob

Ah, but chipsaway dont remove the tyre! Job probably not as good mind.. But will be better than you with the experience/training they have. I hope! -Rob

Ah get it anyway ;) It is suprising how much respect i get on the road because of it. Most people are fooled into thinking my car is a 172 variant of sorts and the N20 means they must be thinking "Hmm he must have well over 200bhp!" where the truth is 75bhp..lol. Ive never been challenged. :D...

Yep, thats who im hoping for! It was my plan last year but sadly no more.. -Rob

You attribute a torsion bar to great handling? Explain. -Rob

Its an old school style hot hatch, its not meant to give loads of grip, be comfortable. Its supposed to be fun...a challenge. Frankly i dont like lift off oversteer (or FWDs as a whole) but if youre in the mood the 172 doesnt disappoint. Cant comment on the 182 but surely it will be better if...

Chipsaway do it for not much at all..

I have N20 CUP for sale :)

No idea why anyone would want a CTR over a 172/182. I know that sounds predicatable with me being a Clio owner but dynamically the CTR is flawed, the chassis isnt as good and the steering very uncommunicative..surpising when a Teg is much better yet older. I think people drive it thinking "oh...

In my ABS thread Ben mentioned no ABS would mean 50/50 brake split. Whereas you want closer to 80/20. -Rob

A few bhp maybe, need a chip to take advantage. The 172 overfuels from OE anyway. -Rob

Its not about being quicker for me Frosty. I care about the enjoyment factor.. I never turn and brake intentionally, only in an emergency. Thanks for the input. -Rob

Hand made, crap quality!

Tell him you have a new alarm system. A shotgun. -Rob

Ouch. Havent seen them elsewhere though.. why not phone them up and ask for the manufacturer then do a google search? -Rob

The rubbing strips will use the same clips though, could buy one side just to see if they fit? -Rob [Edited by RobFenn on 20 May 2004 at 1:55pm]
