I did like my 172 when I had it. I wouldn't gush as hard about it though, its frenchness can be very much the curse of a good car. As for "engaging drives", the MX5 is superior, vastly. I do wonder why people complain about practicality when for 99.99% of the time there'll only be them in the...

Cant help regarding the XBox connectivity, but I've got one of the WD MyCloud NAS, and it works a treat. In fact, as most of my network is hard-wired, I use it as my all-storage drive, and just keep a little SSD in my PC. Now I can get all my work, photos or tunes from anywhere with the various...

Ely No carpark / retail park meets for me, far too old for all that.

Sir, you need to discover women, or drink, or drugs. Something more worthwhile craving than a chavulous exhaust system that will do almost precisely nothing positive. Hell, £430 will get you a half-decent night out followed by your choice of eastern-european hooker who will be far better at the...

Depends what the mileage is on your existing suspension. Whacking lowering springs on 120k-old dampers may swiftly lead to knackered dampers, for instance.

Unlikely.

part-throttle limit-bouncing = big boomz

I'm sure there's a degree of truth in the OP's question for older designs of engines. But with modern vehicles, I very much doubt it, they're all optimised to give total efficiency at all possible times, so redline it all you like, but the ECU will prevent you doing any damage, you'll just be...

Well, you're an unpleasant little c**k-bag aren't you. A perfect match of man and car

Am I the only person that thinks 4 exhausts is at least 2 too many on a 4-pot hatchback? I know Audi are playing the same trick with S3s, but it just shouts "ULTRA MEGA TRY-HARD WHIP". It surely doesn't flow enough air to genuinely warant it on performance grounds

Just going to leave this here ;) http://sniffpetrol.com/2014/10/16/everyone-on-the-internet-has-a-golf-r/

Could be that one of the doors isn't shutting correctly, or a sensor is saying that to the Central Locking system. I had the same problem with a Transit van recently, unless you slammed the door like Ashlynn Brooke then it wouldn't believe the door was shut, and so when you lock the doors by key...

Thats pretty cool. If only they moved a bit quicker

the fens, wut? where?

desperate attempt to pass the common perception over there ;)

Insurance on my car, in a completely different part of the country, using different personal details? £230 with fixed value. This is almost as relevant as what anyone besides an actual insurance broker will tell you. Don't mess about, get onto @Neil@greenlight

A system developed to lure drivers into a false sense of techno-security. Sometimes it will command the cruise control to avoid rear-ending slower-moving traffic. Perfect for no-hassle motorway mileage, especially if following Audi standard practice of being no more than 2ft from the rear...

Yeah, seems the best mod to do to most engine bays....where V8/10/12 wont fit

a V6?

If it was my choice: Sell Ph.1 to someone who wants a ph.1 Buy a Ph.2 and do all the tinkering on that instead. Oh, also, cruise and climate

MK.2 will include a lot more chassis bracing and stiffening as standard. Also the "sport" versions will have the enlarged brakes that will handle all the grief you can throw at them. And since they're probably only a tenner more than a "wow, pop-up lights!" mk.1, may as well take advantage ;)

Same as pretty much every single codemasters F1 sequel then, in my experience (sorry guys, but true). That said, racing sims haven't evolved in a creative / fun-to-play manner since Geoff Crammond GP. Just graphics, physics and sound improvements. If you wanted something different, may as well...

Sure have, a Mk2.5 MX-5 S-VT that isn't silver, white or red. It was the best of breed at time of building. But I've also seen my bank balance, so the notion of wasting further money on Listerine is utterly fanciful.....let alone buying up something factory-fast.

MX5 = £1k strip out interior = free decent tyres = £200 for all 4 corners Brakes = Mk.2 "big brake" upgrade IRO £150 + discs & pads (say £350 all in, but that's with overkill parts) suspension = cheap, used TA technics from about £150, and the chassis comes with a massive range of adjustment...

Like a Trophy with no exhaust baffles?

how did manage to fail? get up PC world, you know what connectors you need now :) Hell, you can probably get one from tesco, or wilkos!

I fill up my tank when it's empty. while I'm at it, I'll reset the trip counter.
