LOL Mines faster than yours though! :p

Damn... rumbled... :oops:

I had a Viper on my Cup, it sounded superb! :D

Having driven one, I wouldnt buy a Megane RS...

When mine was fairly new (1250 miles on clock) and totally boggo I ran 15.0secs dead at Santa Pod... On a hot day too, with camping stuff in the boot, so high 14s are deffo possible! Have run 14.5secs in it with more miles on the clock, a Viper & back seats out. :D

Yup...

LOL Quality line... ;)

Ive used one of these in the past and the times it gives are a little "generous" to say the least... We never got anywhere near the times when we actually went to proper places like Pod & York, so take the results with a pinch of salt! It aint no AP-22!

Cup suspension has... firmer shocks higher spring rates lower ride (a staggering -3mm :oops: ) 3 deg front castor wider track (wheel offset) The best (& cheapest) thing you can do to your 172 is fit a set of Eibach springs and get some wheel spacers to widen the track, which will...

There are a load for £10,500 apparently...

Wasnt when I was getting quotes?! :confused:

They were a limited run, but never a limited edition (i.e. numbered) if you get what I mean?! When they first came out there were "alleged" to be 500 (or thereabouts) UK cars, but the Cup proved very popular so they kept on makiing them...

No it wont, if anything it "could" run slightly lean...

Loss of coolant is either a leak in the system somwhere (check pipes & for drips under car), or the radiator is gone/going, and if it aint either of them then the head gasket is the only other thing it could be... However, in your case it might just be that the level has now dropped to replace...

There is a BIG difference between trade-in price and retail price mate, its always the same! Sounds about right to me...

I love the noise my Viper made on the Cup! :D

True, it would be about £16k on F&F I reckon, so a good saving but still wouldnt buy one...

Yeah, ages ago mate, just needed the rubber stops winding out slightly... LOL, just like the days when we both had 106s eh! Feeeeeeeeeeeel the boost! ;)

Shhhhhh... that was a secret!!! :p

No... I only used to drive it slowly... ;)

Well, the R5 is up & running again and all is well in turbo land... :D Here she is >>> http://members.lycos.co.uk/Pug106GTi/R5GTT/White%20GTT%202.jpg (an old pic, not quite the same now) Got a few things I wanna do now to get it really sorted! ;)

That bl00dy de-cat aint arrived yet... :confused:

Ive had 2 R5 GTTs now and if theyre looked after properly they go on and on and on... Even if theyre modded and its done correctly then they are still reliable! You need to use a good quality fully synth oil, change it every 6k miles, and always allow the engine to warm up & cool down...

Snap... ;)

The Cup has gone mate, it went on Thursday night so nothing to race in...

Holy sh1t!!! :o I knew it was gonna be quick, but that is awesome...

Good time Ben... :D

Yeah, I drove one last week, do a search for my thread...

Thats persective making the 172 seem larger in that pic... But, yeah they are bigger! My Cup is (or was) noticably larger than the GFs P-Reg RT, then my R5 is tiny in comparison.

Gear ratios for the 182: 1st - 3.46 2nd - 1.87 3rd - 1.24 4th - 0.97 5th - 0.80 Final - 4.19 1st - 5.3mph per 1000rpm 2nd - 8.8mph per 1000rpm 3rd - 12.4mph per 1000rpm 4th - 15.9mph per 1000rpm 5th - 20.6mph per 1000rpm As for mods there aint much out there for the 182 yet...
