Fair enough, get a cup once this sh*t weather is over.

Thats like my dads brabus smart Make sure you get one of them XS blow off valves, theyre supposed to scare the sh*t out of people as you go past!

The only thing is the noise actually, my dad had an XKR which made the most annoying whine. THe cooper s is supposed to sound like a car in reverse! The micra sounds like quite a beast, the lancia rally car did the same. In the days of huge lag it was very useful to use a supercharge in...

Limit to a hundred? No thanks. My dads aston used to push 190mph easily, but the sensation of speed was only equal to doing 100mph in mine. In good conditions my car can cruise at 110mph comfortably.

I guess there are some good points ahem

Mat, how do they compare performance wise?

Not a fan of supercharging.. What happened to the V6? Why didnt you get a better car to start with?

Im on their website, they seem to use the same turbo for all cars, with about 30bhp and 30 foot pounds of torque. They do cinquentos with 85bhp, from 54bhp!

I think it would be ok. So thats like 1.6 performance? Its interesting but i cant afford not to have my warranty, let alone the insurance! I guess its the same turbo they use on the ford ka?

Well how about in between then!

Id rather be safe than sorry. Do whatever your dealer advises, unless cup owners think otherwise? Congratulations..

How much power did it give? Turbo Technics would do the same im sure. Ive never seen pgti, do i live in some kind of third dimension? Do they have a website?

A very accurate impression

Imagine how annoying it would be bouncing of the limiter all the time though?

Ive read the first test of that, its says it has a good chassis, so quite worrying as its faster than the 172 as well. They didnt compare it with anything though so well wait and see. Its still very boring though, and again, a vauxhall.

Thanks anyway, ill have a look into the cheaper ones, i can always get a better one later on.

You sure? Anyone know how much the ones off the cup would set me back?

Limit to a hundred? No thanks. My dads aston used to push 190mph easily, but the sensation of speed was only equal to doing 100mph in mine. In good conditions my car can cruise at 110mph comfortably.

Or go pick on one!

Women dont do over 30 You have a handbrake to lock the wheels

Though to be fair its about 10 years old, never seen an unmodified one either, still a vauxhall, and sh*t handling, no thanks!

I guess there are some good points ahem

my gf drove into her own house..the accelerator was stuck, yeah right. And they get lower insurance premiums, crazy! (i am very sexist and i dont care if any ladys are offended)

Yeah, with a good exhaust they sound meaty though, dont look too bad either, but as you can see what zidan said, still not good overall.

Well if you jab your foot down in the wet the ABS will cut in, so you know theres not much grip. I appreciate the point youre trying to make but traction control is a device which can limit what a good driver can get out of a car, ABS does not, so it doesnt need to be switchable. A scenario...

Could argue that you should let people decide if they want seatbelts or not.

cheeky.. ABS is only active when you start to lockup, you can override ABS by driving properly as then it wont come on!! Since when were you forced to use it?

Yeah, theres nothing wrong with the MK1s looks, the mk2 is just in my opinion, that bit better

Them old mk3(?) ones? I think they were described as one of the worst ever FWDs ever to be tested in the UK.

say your throttle got jammed in the carpet
