Lol. I drive a 172 cup as a daily and it was nowhere near as hardcore as the trophy. Disagree with the seats though. I love them, one of my favourite points
It's a drivers car but it's a brutal one! I'm sure the trophy set up (suspension) is much better than the rest but I've driven all the variants and don't really notice much difference
They are awesome wee cars but definitely one for a weekend car. I used mine for the commute and it was brutal. I think they're all starting to stay indoors now with prices rising. That one you've linked is just a silly price though. They weren't much off that new?
It's probably due to the fact these cars are getting so cheap it's a huge amount of money to get the belts done so folk are just risking it. Or if you're the op just very unlucky
Damn! You must buy absolute pieces of s**t!
Only reason I broke down was when I didn't push a hose into the radiator tight enough and it popped off so was really my own fault
The thing about recovery is that it's needed only on the odd occasion. I would never pay for it. Thankfully I get it through my work. If I didn't have it I'd just phone somewhere or phone someone with a diesel barge to tow me home
That's shocking mate. I'd be writing in about that.
I've only ever had one breakdown and they promised to be there within the hour and they were (wasn't AA mind)
Better timing improves everything. I've driven 1*2s where the 5k kick felt unnatural ie the car was really poor up until 5k then all of a suddenly it would come alive.
They said it was noisy injectors which I've no reason to doubt. It's not the tappets/lifters and not the dephaser. Either way the main thing is it's nothing to worry about really. The car performs really well, doesn't stutter and idles well so I'm not concerned. May stick some Redex through the...
As above. I've been using green and black for a few years now but just wandering if I'm better going for a different combo. Really like the pads but if anyone else has some suggestions I'm open to them
