It wasn't him that got caught m8. Was a 19 yr old lad in his dads MR2. Was doing 140 along the M65 but not only that he was moving from the fast lane to the hard shoulder undertaking everything and he was on the front page. The astra bloke wasn't caught but did film himself doing...
I had a Gtech and for 0-60 times they are fine for a bit of fun but for BHP they are pointless imo. You need to calibrate them and run on a perfect road so accuracy won't be great

Defo twitchy but you are asking for trouble having different tyres on..I would imagine the contis won't be as good in the wet as the Exaltos so that will make it alot worse

Its a monaco blue 172..think it is the skylight thats made it look a different shade. As for the dash I think it has been removed...there were bits all over inside but I didn't pay much attention tbh
Chris
I should have taken a pic from the front...looked like it rolled and slid along on its roof/side as there are massive scraps down the doors and bonnet/roof. Nasty looking crash so hopefully they were ok
Chris
There is no topics about any 182? Are you having a laugh? Don't get me wrong as I love the Trophy and if I was in a postion to buy then I would have one in a second but don't get to thinking that there is only one kind of 1*2 out there! lol

I don't think Rich got a 14.5 but I could be wrong. There is a huge difference between engines. Kevs std 172 got a 14.6 iirc but Scotts 172 with exhaust decat and filter struggled to get much in the 14`s.
Mine was 15 dead std, then with rsport it was 14.4 full interior then with exhaust/decat...
Trackdays? I know after I did a trackday I felt I knew the cars handling more than before (not that I drive like I'm on a track when on the road of course).
Exhaust/decat and remap will make a fair difference. Of course things like 182 manifold (expensive unless you get a breaker) and cams...
Mine makes the same peak torque as a std 172 but instead of 5k+ mine makes 144ft/lb at 2500...175ftlb at peak proven on 2 different RR 6 months apart....not just remap but as said it brings all the little mods togeather nicely lol

We were on our way to Donington a few weeks back in my m8s std Golf Gti (mk5) and had a great blast with an RS. There were 4 in the Focus and 2 of us in the Golf and joining the dual carriageway to 130 ish there was nothing in it...we weren't gaining and the RS wasn't pulling away. Not sure what...
lol Yeah Lee I don't think Nic would appriciate it! I pre ordered it in the Shop (game) but probably won't get to pick it up till Sunday so you can get some extra practice ;)
I find the demo to be great with the pad buttons....really good when you fly into a bend on th inside and brake at the...
