That wasn't a WRX you were tailing closely my son, next time follow me down the wagon road!;)

Nice, I love those black alloys, is that standard? I'd maybe lose some of the decals though.

Not yet, exploring the possibilty of going Hybrid Turbo first, using the hybrid twin-scroll allows for more flow at the top end but keeps the low RPM pick up. All in, almost 400bhp for under £2K total :) TBH it's so quick just now, it hardly seems worth it. I'm also exploring the possibility...

Nice one! We're you not tempted to drive for Andy, it's great feeling the car get faster. I've heard about the Induction Kits having problems in applications under 400BHP, most will tell you the standard box(with panel filter) and piping are good for up to 400BHP. That's certainly the case...

I handed a MKIV GTi it's ass when it tried it on against my old Cup!

Really like the 197 now, really grown on me. Pity it's not as quick as it should be!

Why you blaming MS, surely they never sold you the Laptop?

Exactly, pop into the problems part of the CTR forum, it's not immune to problems either. I too am baffled how changing to an 04 182 will save you money or gain you any more capital to speak of?? Servicing/running the two cars is almost identical too!

Are you running Vista?

Must say I didn't have any problem taking off or braking, but of course no ABS or TCS in the Cup. Why not pull the fuse for the ABS next time?

I had no problems driving my 172 Cup in the snow last year. It was no small amount either, the only problem was the other tickets on the road that have absolutely NO idea how to alter their driving for the snow!

Nothing wrong with your car being everything to you when you're young. As you get older your still enthusiastic about cars, but priorities change.

Re: Archived Post from old forum From 1st to 2nd it drops out of the power band?? Not in my 2 172's I've had, maybe you need to change gear quicker!

Totaly agree with KDF, I put up with it for 10 months, memory hogging POS. Add to that inferior gaming performance and the fact it dropped my wireless connection every 1-2 hours was enough for me to go back to XP. I'll revisit it in another 12-24 months, probably with 4GB of RAM!

Can't beleive you're basterdising a Cup!!! Each to their own!

As he said, read the road ahead! Anyway, how long are the drain covers round your way??

Mine does have air-con ironically, I was just saying if I could choose it wouldn't bother me not having air-con, but then I do live up here! Less sound deadening, try none!;) I don't drive it every day so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Hardcore you know the score!! No air-con for me! :)

At a rough, educated guess, I'd say 15-20KG, for the unit and all the associated piping.

No spare wheel, light weight alloys, less sound deadening, no air-con, thinner glass.

I get that almost everytime I clean my car, I live in the country and only have 5 neighbours! Arggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!

I find it quite sad that people can hold any sort of hatred for a lump of metal, lol. I've only ever owned a P1 and my current car, both miles ahead of any RS I've driven. Not saying the 172 and Cup I owned were bad, far from it, the Cup was sublime, I'm 100% sure I'd prefer it over a normal...

3 car lengths to 100 from a roll is a good beating, isn't it? How much do you think it should pull, this always puzzles me, it's only 180 odd bhp per tonne.

LOL! Was his name Mr Jobs? ;)

You don't need to convert them to AAC to play on your iPod, nothing wrong with iTunes!

As I said in my original thread, my car isn't too bad!

Borrocks!:(

P.S. Was going to buy straight from Meguiars(149.99), free delivery, also including #80 and #83, anything else needed? Don't think I'll get cheaper will I? Cheers, Paul

Hi guys, Where is the cheapest place to buy the above? Also the Impreza isn't plagued by bad swirling, so what's the best pad/polish combo to try first? Cheers!
