Mines does the same occasionally - turns over and seems on the verge of catching, but doesnt quite get there. Only happens wwhen its hot and you return to the car within a fairly short period of time. Always starts on the second turn of the key though...

Ive added a Pipercross panel filter & K-Tec exhaust and got 182 bhp @ fly at a RR Day a few weeks ago :) Certainly feels a lot quicker, but the noise of the K-Tec is a large factor in that too - sounds like a complete beast!

Ive got the full on noisy one, and a nice set of perforated eardrums too :D Still - days like this, all you need is windows down, 2nd gear all the way to 7k.....fantasic! ;)

:o:o:o Id see a Doctor about that if I were you! :o

Always be careful with flaps :o

Had mine since mid December, done nearly 6k, ripe old age of 26 and <£500 insurance.

Me too - much like a really bad dose of the Herbie Ritts ;)

Zut alors! Hell love that :)

Teady - you could be right! My PIPE my well have scared him off and now youll have two of the buggers - perhaps making little baby noisy hammerers in your back quarter :o Wait until your bro isnt about and then try and tempt them into his car with pictures of Gerard Depadieu and Serge...

Ah thats okay then - Im not English :D Not sure where Ill find snails tho - think it would look a bit suss with loads of snail trails over the seats etc :o

Hmm - this confirms my suspicions. My little chap seems to prefer hiding behind the dashboard now that the PIPE (Personal Invention for Permanently rEmoving hearing) has been installed. How can I tempt him into the open? Leave some cheese out for him? What does he eat?

Hmmmm - why doesnt this come as a surprise to me :cry: Ill run this by them tomorrow - wouldnt put it past them to have kept my oil and used their own stuff - I asked them for the remaining 0.25l that should have been left after doing the change, which is when they came out with the "It took...

Can anyone confirm how much oil is needed to do a full oil change on a 172/Cup? Mine was in the dealers today for a full oil and filter change - I supplied my own oil (5l) which they claimed wasnt enough and had to use some of their own. I was under the impression (perhaps mistakenly!) that it...

Youll enjoy all of those 5000 miles - and then get the full benefit of the ECU when you upgrade :)

Go for the k-tec Paul :) Not sure who does just a back box for them - as its all one piece from the cat back. Heres a wee pic of my new exhaust - the full on k-tec noisy mo-fo http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid58/p65235947d0faa8e9aeb4b69151721f9b/fc6607a7.gif.orig.gif

Nice pics Carlos - Robbie has sent me a small selection of the 70 odd he took :D

Id never admit to falling for that one! :) You dont drive it far enough to have someone bash into you ;) :D

You can get them at http://www.k-tecracing.comhttp://www.k-tecracing.com :)

Ta muchly GirlRacer :)

Might as well show you the results of my efforts today

Just finished mine - first proper waxing and clean since I got it, so decided to spend a bit of time - 6hrs total. Included: Full wash and 3 stage Wax Wizard treatment (cleanse, paint sealant and then wax) Alloys off cleaned and polished Engine cleaned Interior cleaned and hoovered...

Youll have heard of the term "no fault accident"? Perhaps the road was icy? Perhaps it was muddy? Accidents can and do happen, and by their definition (An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm) are unexpected. My point, that you appear to be missing, is...

On that point I agree wholeheartedly. However, you appear to be making a judgement on this incident without any evidence of the above.

Perhaps its just the patronising tone then? ;)

:cry:

Sounds like a good idea - wouldnt want anyone to think you are anything less than the super driver you make out to be :cry:

Thats a real shame :( And wtf has lack of ABS got to go with it?? :cry: Personally Id be more concerned that the driver and passengers were okay rather than making completely speculative guesses over the cause of the accident.

If anything they filter better than the original - take a look at the standard paper filter and marvel at how crappy it looks. Standard paper ones are designed to be lowest common denominator items - built to a cost, fit and forget until the next service.

Nah mate - working today but up North at the weekend and took plenty of pics :)

Yup - mine did this as well. Seems to have gone away now for no apparent reason, but it did seem to do it when trying to change gear quickly. I find the shape of the clutch pedal quite annoying anyway - seems to get in the road, so it may be that the clutch isnt 100% down when trying to change...
