I found that the engine was really heavy in the 172, so I got rid of that and now do 6-sec 1/2-miles

I prefer keeping some weight over the driven wheels if honest.... ...oh, oh yeah. :wink: EDIT: OK, if being fair and honest, I can notice if a passenger is in the car (aside from them being sat next to me, of course), and that's only an average of 20kg more than you're talking about.

I took a massive s**t this morning, you better believe I can go from one end of a drive through to another in 0.3 less parsecs than before.

Goodyear Eagle F1

I find that if I shove my head over the windscreen, Listerine is so much faster. I can tell because I get more wind in my face, so must be fast

No. You're better than that Olli. I'd expect it from the virgins, but not you. Are you trying to set OMG laptmes!? Because if you're just going to track days, whats the benefit? Also, as said, sandwiched

Surely, if you want a rattly can to drive about in, with zero refinement and track credentials..... ....just go and buy a Saxo that's already had its engine "enhanced"

As above, it wont be a simple game. Have a look at the WSR (World Series by Renault) bodykit, if that was on a facelift Mk.3 then you should be able to rattle that on without as much hassle. It's not as "grrrr, look at me, I'm so alpha-male, honest!", but it's marginally better than stock

This. Other than removing any potential value in the car (provided you do end up selling it, and not locking up all 4 wheels into a wall,cuz ABS is for faggots) you can pull all the trim out you like, but all you end up with is a buzzing rattle-box that will twist your tits clean off within a...

Ampersand explode over Jewish Racing guld

Well made, but, well, there's plenty of competition out there for views of these kind of things, what makes you guys different? Think about it that way. As a fan of Regular Car Reviews, I prefer his method of doing things. Ok, it's a car review of sorts, but, usually, that's secondary to the...

Ampersand is for pros

stickers. Preferably of brands that are somehow relevant to the vehicle, but Mugen, TRD, NISMO, JK Tyres and Brabus are all perfectly acceptable too.

It'll be the damping level and spring rates that are completely different when you're looking at standard-grade parts, a 1.2 Extreme doesn't come with the same suspension as a 182. But since you're talking about adjustable coilovers, then that wont matter. The fronts wont go on though, so unless...

So, not at all comparable then? A stock 172 takes a whole world of r****d before it starts to unstick itself... ...doesn't stop some people though lol

No Tekken No Soul Calibur No Streetfighter No Gran Turismo WTF are you pissing about for Namco / Capcom / Polyphony

In fairness, a storyline in campaign will, also, be retarded. So why bother wasting dev time on a game mode that ill probably be 2% of the players' experience. Personally, the PS4 is dead until November

Lets just hope mumsnet doesn't find this thread title.

Future proofing for 2017? As a gaming PC it's a silly spec, but for design work, brilliant

For that money I'd want, at the very least, a pair of Xeons in that case

Where all other variables are the same, a 17cm speaker WILL be better than a 13cm one. Just because the cone can move more air and lower frequencies. EXCEPT! Except your cheap, dual-cone jobs are going to be worse than the stock gear for highs. Paying the little extra for a co-axial (where the...

172 had a big engine for the car, which meant it could go fast without problems 197 had an engine about the right size

(pretty much anything you can pull off of a Mk2.5 will be better than what came on a Mk.1.....that's just development. But aside from body and some interior (you wouldn't want the body anyway, unless rust is your friend) everything is interchangeable. OH! And S-VT engines. They wont go into a...

Not any more, I believe. They certainly did though, so you didn't want to leave your pressure washer outside in the snow........errrr

"I've just fixed up this rattly old french can to stop some of the rattles...should I buy another, slightly newer but still old one which'll have a whole world of its own problems to fix, all over again" At least the 172 can't really lose any more value too!

I picked up a Karcher K2 for £60 out of Tesco, if that helps at all. Does the job

Guessing you're getting it all cleaned up for taking back to the dealers and picking up a Smart Roadster instead then? @Rob, thread title change? "Lets take the Jaaa....errr....no..noooo... no I'm scared....mommy!"

There's an updated version which allows for Google maps to be displayed on the screen, giving you some kind of poverty-spec fixed-nav solution.

Read up on the options to do a S-VTectomy on a MK2 sport. Too much effort.
