lol..its also an absolute tyre killer on FWDs

lol..depends how you interpret special

well the craner is hardly a tight corner(s) there are straight bits! A good example of what i said would be Mcleans, and redgate. One of my intructors had a 250cc, it was scary fast! Great satisfaction doing good laps in them. Where are u based ben?

both! id like to try a new one though, maybe an R300. Have u seen one of them twin engined tigers??

The 172 and the cup have been described as the closest to the old skool hot hatches as you can get. Subarus are very quick but in my personal opinion, theyre ugly, too easy to drive and most of all, tacky!

tad unfair though, a willy would give most cars a thrashing on a fave b road. In fact the reason i got a renault and joined this was when i saw a willy 2 on the way to goodwood festival of speed, it was playing with the tw*ts on their superbikes. Respect!

howd the wipers do that? I thought that had happened to mine once but it was just a mark. Id either get it repaired/replaced by RAC autowindscreens or at least improve things by cleaning the inside and outside. I use a full bucket of water with a few drops of fairy liquid and give the windows a...

The rear suspension on the caterfields scare the sh*te out of me! I drove a westie V8 once, manic! I love the cortinas in the white and green livery, look the biz! Abarths are cool, i used to buy a mag called Auto Italia just to read bits about abarths, in fact i was considering going to get...

I was joking that youd be a master after one track outing..lol Ben, obviously your a well clued up bloke, and i thought youd agree changing gear mid corner maybe ok if your in a front wheel drive hatch going at 30mph, but in something powerful it is a serious no no. I drove a van deiman when i...

lol sorry, of course, in standard form though ford didnt really get the hang of hot hatches. Ive never driven an anglia, ive heard theyre a good laugh though! Theres always a race at brands with them in! From what ive read and seen the RS200 was a very bad handling car (the road version). I...

I know FWD is not particulary good fun on track, apart from a few of the greats. Come to think of it i dont think much of imprezas etc on track in terms of enjoyment. People rave about caterhams and westies, but i always spin them. And TVRS!!! i think theyre absolute crap, even the new ones...

I wouldnt agree with the the RS200 or RS Turbo but youve forgotten the capri and mk1/2 escort mexicos and the like

Yeah, though they had to make it like that, wouldnt want it rivalling the RS

no, it wont, i wouldnt mention the track day though!

i copied and pasted that from a site by the way lol, im not some sad ford fanatic!

At its heart is a tuned version of the 130PS 2.0-litre Ford Focus Duratec engine, producing 170PS at 7000rpm and 195Nm of torque from 2500rpm. Transmitted through a Durashift six-speed manual gearbox, this is sufficient to allow the Ford Focus ST170 to achieve 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds and a top...

road angel is the best out at the moment, by quite a lot

lol..its also an absolute tyre killer on FWDs

My advice is to get taught on a skidpan by a pro, then youll be the oversteer master! Basic rules to remember is to do all ur breaking and changing gears in a straight line, and power through the corner. Oversteer is quite easy to control on a fwd as all you have to do is power down and keep...

good good

If you drive hard and fast, then yes, why not.

Yeah 172s, and a lot of modern engines dont need running in. A lot of people recommend going for it from day 1! Sometimes salesmen/women send people from different departments to deal with you if theyre busy. Your owners manual should be in a small grey folder, unless its different for the...

same, £300 upwards. Ive noticed that k-tec do have slight premiums on some of their products but it sounds a fair price.

I wouldnt be suprised. K-tecs exhausts are good because theyre height adjustable, to the mm, and they specialise in renault, so do the right thing! Id only cut my bumper up if it was for some full on custom exhaust..like a twin centre exit 4inch dp motorsport exhaust...muahaha!

mine maybe not be a 172 but ive done 9,000 and it hasnt used a drop! and i cane it!
