Hmmm, thats no good! I think I might have to reconsider my choice then

The 540 does a 6.8 here, probably quicker as thats BMWs claimed time with a 68kg driver, 7kg luggage and a 90% full tank ,but whether thats at sea level or up here at altitude, Im not sure. Hmmm, ship myself out to Scotland...my brothers there...you think he might let me sleep on the floor of...

How much of a delay? Is there no way to get rid of the delay as i like listening to dance and with the tracks merging it would sound really odd with the slight delay

The fuel is just plain rubbish...its ok for your 1.2 run around but for highly tuned engines is just not on. I could get hold of some 102 racing fuel but I think that is leaded. At the coast I could get 97 but the 0-60 time for the 172 there is only 7.78 which I can only attribute to fuel...

Ive thought about nitrous but Im not totally convinced it wont kill the engine a lot earlier because of the crappy fuel here Toolmantim had nitrous and he was saying it wore the cogs very badly

Thanks Tom

Ok I think Ive decided on the Pioneer DEH-7400MP HU for my 172. Just a few questions. Will I need to get a wiring harness to fit the HU or is it ISO standard and will just plug straight into the car? Thanks

Maybe I should drive my gfs 76 1600L beetle for a while :)

Maybe its just me...:cry: Maybe its the 93 octane fuel and 1500m altitude...:( Maybe I got a dud car...:o ...but my mk1 172 isnt the monster I always imagined it to be.:sleep: Look I can get wheelspin in second, Ive toasted modified Honda Civic Vtecs (admit it wasnt a R-type but simply the...

The 172 is also my first car with ABS and Ive only ever encountered ABS at the very last moment of braking but then I think it must be my braking style, where I start off with moderate pressure and as I slow down I either maintain or descrease the pressure till the very last moment where I add...

You wont get any sleep once youve got the car either...when i picked mine Up I kept going on midnight crusies just to keep the adrenaline flowing :D

Every Clio Ive owned (2) have made the clonking / squeaking noise when turning on full lock. I think its just part of the built and I live with it!

Not a perfect image but gives you an idea...with proper lowering it looks much better http://members.fortunecity.com/viceroy1/cupra.jpg

Wish I was in the UK as there isnt that much available over here... and the 7400mp is pretty much the max I can afford (And thats pushing it)

My fave so far is the Pioneer

Yep the two alternatives are TSW, the bottom ones being Imolas and the top ones being Hockenheim R. Ill try get some pics of the wheels on the car and post them. They look of from a distance but up close I really dont like the studs. ps. GR they did stop making them.
