:( Unlucky mate

lol the understeer comment i made a while ago was more to with Formula First/Renault/Ford. All of these single seaters spin if you make the slightest of mistakes, which is why i chose understeer settings, but this is on the limit, so generally its un noticeable. Id rather back off than fish...

No 4 cyl sounds fantastic ;)

Hmm. I have to disagree there. At brands i have done a 58 seconds lap in the cup, i havent timed myself in an elise round there but a friends modified morgan can get there in 54 seconds so i would expect the elise to do it in 50 seconds. Think about it, the elise is mid engined, RWD light and...

Id say the 6 miles you did werent enough, you need to take it on the motorway for around 20 minutes so the oils all ok.

You can swap policies with me if you like!!

It is the new nova. I like saxos, just wouldnt have one.

lol, only a few insurance companies offered me a quote, directline being the best at £2700. And mine is just the 1.2 16v :cry: As stephen MC said though, you only live once, i hope to have a cup on the drive next year!

Depends where you were driving, the quality of the driver (and maybe how much trust they have in their car or own skills). I cant say ive had any noticeable scalps on the road, had a lot of fun on track though.

I didnt know there were quad headlights?

I think the Cup engine is bench tested whereas the 172 isnt which would explain what Dans saying.

Exactly, its pointless to compare really but well done all the same.

I was pretty sure the GTI-6 had 167bhp.. Its been higlighted on the forum that power outputs seem to be all over the place, maybe redline tested a dud or something?

Oh dear GTOs are bad, 300zxs no better.

Thats one thing about the CTR i dong like, the noise. The exhaust seems pretty restrictive and was dissapointing considering the great noise ITRs make. Is it Devil who brought out the first system? Anyway, my overall opinion of the CTR is nice gearbox, good performance and good handling but i...

That trade sales place looks pretty spanking

Theyve always been that price? There are some UK cars and some EU cars, best thing to do is ask. Or ask your local dealer how they feel about servicing/warranty on an import. As far as i know the EU cars have 1 less silencer and mechanically thats it. -Rob

Ill put it down to the car then. Brakes felt like you had to put your foot through to the floor. I actually found the handling a bit to be desired as well, it was too snappy for my liking. Or am i complete pussy? Dont answer that!

Well if you sold your RT how much would you get? Id say its worth looking in the back of car mags like Autocar, they are plenty of car supermarkets who sell brand new 172s for the same as the Cup, £11995. Welcome to the forum. -Rob

Ive never really had a problem, the only time was when i lucky met the nicest officer ever! I was only 16 and drove a non-road legal mk1 golf to brands, with no plates! Luckily i was let off as i was only half a mile from the track, and promised the car was getting towed back! Other than that...

2003 models have clear ones

Some insurance companys would say youve done it in an attempt to make your car faster, which you have.

And theyre not coupes..

Its still a plug and play thing. The point i meant was that its not much of an achievement and dont see the point in getting it unless your doing the Fast and the Furious style street racing for £££££££££s

Ive already asked them to do a TBd, turbod cup...

lol @ Ben, ill ave you! The one i drove had a bad box and brakes, in my view anyway. Id like to put it down to the fact they dont look after them.
