Dont suppose you informed the DVLA of your change of address did you?

I dont think itll be a license looser, if.. ...you go now and get some insurance and show them that youre not a complete moron! They might, just might let you off!

Theres not 70KG difference between the 2 cars. I wouldnt beleive what Renualt claim regarding weight figures. Theyre both nearer 1100KG. Hence the same performance figures! I wouldnt even beleive the claimed weighto f the Cup!

Viceroy, Surely other cars must be affected accordingly. i.e. if the 540 over here runs 0-60 in 5.8(whatever) then over there it should run nearer 7 seconds. Personally if I were you Id either cut my losses and go big, or ship yourself and your car over to bonnie Scotland. The 172 loves...

Eagle its the centre section on the exhaust, go to yer dealer and get it changed!

You can bang on about 2 seconds quicker on the track as long as you want, when it comes down to it on the road theres nothing between the two cars. On a country road youd have to be on the point of loosing it to maybe pull, what, a car length over a series of corners. On the straights, it all...

I would like to think that the new Cupra has better handling than the old one, it was diabolical. Having said that though apparently the R was always a good handler.

Eric, that the same on most 6 gear cars!

http://www.cliosport.net/articles/0-100-0.asphttp://www.cliosport.net/articles/0-100-0.asp Bit of a disappointing 0-100 time(but hey its a MK1!;)) but the 100-0 time was only beaten by 2 cars that day, one was a superlight Catheram! That 3.7 was either a misprint or the breaks were well and...

The best 30-70 time I have seen for the MK2 in a mag was 6.2 through the gears. I have also tested mine with the AP and got 6.2!

If yer going to post best known figures for one car, you might as well post them for both cars. MK2 - Best 0-60 in a mag = 6.7 MK2 - Best 0-100 in a mag = 17.9 At Trax the MK2 was tested at 6.6 to 60 also! Dont forget Paddys AP time of 17.3 to 100 also!! :D

Reth, Where r u from?

The power steering pump saps some of the engine power I beleive. The exact same happens to my car, come to think of it, its happened on every car I have driven with PAS!

Daz the STI is 5.2 standard, the PPP takes it down to around 4.6. The PPP for the WRX will take it into the low 5s!

I never said the 172 is faster than the CTR, did I?

I think you guys should follow the RTFM way of thinking!;)

Mate, mate, mate, no match??;) Your sadly mistaken, I have never seen a CTR dip under 15s t the 1/4 mile, a well driven 172 can. The cars are so evenly matched it would all be down to driver skill at the end of the day. Ive driven a CTR and felt no difference in power, dunno if thats due to...

Aaron, Your taking two different tests for the Focus RS, ie the 5.9 and 16.7. Evo tested the RS at 5.9 to 60 and 14.9 to 100. Autocar tested it at 6.4ish and 16.7. Anyway thats not the point, I still think the RS would be quicker than a Civic Type R. I would however ignore the RS EVO...

Renault did quote a 1/4 mile time of 15 dead for the 172!

Cant be arsed registering on that forum!!

Has anyone posted this over on http://www.evo.co.ukwww.evo.co.uk ? This is a bit of an over-sight on EVOs part, not there car mind you, just feel sorry for the bugger that buys it after them! They were complaining about it feeling slow and that the engine was making a funny noise!

Rich, Im not for one minute saying that a Cup will beat a Focus, the Focus is still quicker. All im saying is the figures that EVO published are not a true reflection of the RSs speed. No other mag had got close to their times, almost 2 secs diff from 0-100!!!! Now, admittedley driver skill...

Rich those figures are from EVO, and IMHO are complete bullsh*t. I concede it would be slightly qucker than a Cup when going but I wouldnt think it would put it out of sight, the Cup as standard can do a 14.8 over the 1/4 mile! And.....didnt I see somewhere that the Focus RS waas struggling...

7500 miles for my fronts!

Theres no way that time is anywhere near accurate!:D But I can see how you could use it to judge the difference from when you first had it!
