Currently about 28mpg, but I drive gently for the most part mate

In fairness that's about right for a 197. Im getting 28 out of my 200 and i'm driving gently

That's really low for a 172

Conti SC's are good, got them on my 200, been fine in all weather.

haha just a small error

Pilots or Conti SC's for me. (road use)

This is likely to have been covered before, sorry if so. I did mine last year but can't remember what Punch for the fronts I used & haven't had a chance to look. Any ideas? Anyone got any tips for getting the pins out without sh*gging them? & also the torques for the bolts all round. Any...

I'm around the West malling area & regularly drink in Maidstone picking up sloshers.

You've never taken it above 6k? What's the point

The Gordini isn't a particularly desirable model on the whole. Use the search function mate, pretty sure it's come up before.

Wire brush/sand them back a bit, bit of panel wipe & paint away.

Happens more than I think people realize though mate. Because many tend to die in hospital as opposed to track side it doesn't get made a big of a deal.

Mine beeps, I've never noticed the rev light on mine though not that I pay attention

Could be a sticky caliper as well mate, they suffer from it.

Same with flat shift boxes, still use the clutch on the way down regardless. They say with some you don't have to, but especially in the wet it really upsets the car under braking.

+1 People love dragging that brake, think its a safety thing for them.

Probably easier to adapt your driving style tbh...

Screams of p**n to me

This is laughable

Could be the stem seals ? Very usual, my 200 hardly uses any oil

Blimey 500kg sports bike, more like 180. Cannon fodder for a Range.

We used to use PF pads, I wasn't overly impressed by them. Performance was fine, but they seemed to have a habit of breaking up on single seaters & saloons that I've seen.

Learn how to drive it properly

I rate 3000's, bite from cold isn't ideal for a every day car IMO. But you can live with it.

Set of speedlines would set that off

I'm stripping mine down at the weekend. It's easy enough. It's pretty common with these brembo calipers. Be careful not to shag the pins when you remove them.

+1 mate

Awesome

HOW MUCH!
