Ok..well its sh*t from my perspective as its not challenging enough, and everyone cheats..

f**k off..im telling it how it is, bedford isnt a track, its a bit of tarmac, but as i said, its a great day, and well worth doing. -Rob

Different manufacturers favour ride/handling in road use...just dont get koni! Not sure who does dampers for your car but eibach are pretty good..again so are spax. Your fat profile will aid ride, but lowering it will make the ride worse, simple as, specially with the torsion bar lowered. 40mm...

Bedfords sh*t..but its a great day, nice cars and the instructors are skilled as well as a good laugh. That ozzie bloke is a nutter.. -Rob

Boo hoo! What do you expect?

Just get the spax! K-tec might do theyre own dampers..not sure..dont be a pikey, do the job properly!

I can explain this as i got told not so long ago..yay.. i can beat ben! The octane rating of petrol tells you how much fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. And ecus have boundaries in where it can advance and r****d ignition to cope with various octane ratings..so the ecus...

If you get springs and dont uprate the dampers youre taking out suspension travel..so the ride will be awful..and the handling wont be as good as it should be. I know of no reason why PI should be any good to be honest, who the f**k are they? Though to be fair springs are springs..not so hard...

I thought that Tom..as i never saw optimax on the continent Lee, as far as i know if the ECU is set to take a particular RON, a higher one wont make any difference, but some ECUS can adapt to higher RON.. In optimaxs case it cleans out your engine, so the first couple of uses i would expect...

Most ECUs are set for 95ron..some cars like the 172 run on 97...but anything past that is useless ??

fairplay..

Fogs do look cool..which is a reason why magazines have pictures with them on, people follow suit. Im sure it also linked to racing on tele also..when im on track i drive round with full beam! I dont use my fogs though (admittedly i did for a couple of months when i first got my car as i thought...

Coilovers arent neccessary, theyre expensive and its not always the best idea to ride around on adjustables. Get the spax kit, its good value. -Rob

woah..david youre getting old..are you going to bring out a de-cat or something? Ive got a way to go until i break the noise limit at brands. -Rob

bee ba ba balla bo, bee ba balla bo..

Ah..so this little beauty has risen from the ashes..

ah cool i could do with that actually as i need one for my insurance..can you get that sent? Is a warranty still valid then? -Rob

100mm front, 110mm back You at southend then dude? Sweet! -Rob

same..

Yeah dont get what that stuff is, but its not coming off! Its back to silver though. -Rob

f**k, well im 18, didnt go to uni and went straight to work and got a 1.2. Whered i go wrong...

I bought one but sold it as i needed the money. I saw it on someones car at the bluewater meet and it looked great (black car). Wish i kept it. Would look great on a black 172 as it goes with teh badging and shiny wheels. -Rob

My clio is my first car, my dad agreed to pay £5k for whatever i got and ive jsut finished paying the rest. -Rob

thanks

Very nice Andy..can i have a close up pic of the rear arch gap if poss? Cheers fella -Rob

Youre supposed to get a free health check at about 6k miles. Dont have to get it though. This was for my 1.2 anyway.. -Rob

K-tec exhausts are perfectly good for the money, a nice noise, good construction and build quality and can give small gains. However, theyre not as brilliant as everyone makes them out to be, theyre boomy on the motorways which means theyre not close to being top quality systems (they use a naff...

What! You must mow the lawn a bit for daddy then!

Id go for the k-tec one. Even if its a backbox and the rest is steel it will save weight. Youll also get an original sound. My dads M3 exhaust is titanium, and cost well over £1k so it also seems a bit of a bargain! A good topic for down the pub too.. -Rob
