Do you know if the 1.6 has different brakes fred?

Well the porsche had turbo variants which were faster than the CS, but the CS is one of the best handling cars ever.

Mini Adventure Cup owners are getting 15 secs and think they can get under 15. The end.

The Cup is bench tested, the normal 172 isnt. This would mean the Cup will have more reliable figures from car to car. Im not sure of all the details but the suspension and brakes have minor differences (it also has no abs). The cup also weighs 80kg less and has different seats with no airbags...

Shouldnt a Cup easily beat a ZS in a straight line?

I dont have a front wing to crack :cry: I would get 16s if i were you, a chunky 5 spoke.

The 172 silver is nice but the lesser clios dont have such a nice one IMO Anyway the Dynamique is a good car, though reliabilty maybe an issue im afraid. I have an extreme, it has the 172s CD player and Climate added on plus a different trim. They are well built inside and look good. Handling...

How often do you use the car and what for most of the time? How often do you find a nice road to give it some welly or go on track?

It isnt..it would be such a pain in the arse if you do a lot of normal urban driving, trust me! My mk1 golf gti was the ultimate arse bandit because of it

I can steer with my little finger!

hmm..well we have different opinions. lets leave it at that.

Launch control Acts like a lowered rev limiter, activated by the clutch switch. When you press the clutch, the rev limit will be lowered to the preset launch limiter. An ideal launch limit is 4000 rpm for the 16V. Great for consistent launches during drag racing. The ideal launch rpm depends...

So you havent got the 1.2 then? ;) I reading on that fastchip site it was 3000rpm or something, ill try and check again

That was the comment i said i couldnt make an excuse for. Im talking about the original post. The replys were uncalled for.

Well it depends..obviously i dont know how you drive your car, everyone has there preferences, most people like to balance style with pace, whereas id rather have 2 sets of wheels to fit both criteria! How many problems did you have with 17s on, surely 16s wouldnt be a prob? The main thing...

I wouldnt bother even looking mate. Considering youre going to the ring you may get the car out of shape a few times ( if you dont youre not trying!). A relatively low ration rack will give you more adjustablity in correcting. A high ration rack means yuo will be constantly over corrected, which...

I dont think so because i notice a lot of diesel cars have separate applications. I would just ask a mechanic at your local dealer as there arent many diesel owners on the forum im afraid.

But who gives a f**k? It was clear he wanted attention, a pat on the back. Instead there was widespread resentment. Icant excuse some stuff he said later on but orignally there was nothing wrong with it! There are plenty of people come up with the driver skill counts for so much more, he just...

Well there wouldnt be much of a difference to be honest. 45s will look a bit better but then the arch gap will be bigger, ride will also suffer a tad. 50s are a bit more tractorish but nicer ride!

oops, 60mm even!
