'Bugger me with a fish fork' they go don't they! Had the lucky chance of sampling 'thejesus'es 172 with bodies today, not in the drivers seat obv but in the hands of a very experience pilot (no names mentioned), and mother of god, its quick! Jon my friend thats one quick motor you have!
was a...
Right, been pondering this for a while. Got a little bit of cash to spend on my 172/197. The options are:
A) pair of Cobra Misano, trimed in black something 'rock' and black Alcantera with black carbon backs and matching subframes.
B) Set of Sportlines (via groupbuy), replacement standard...
my car currently sits on standard dampers and Eibach Prolines. The Prolines are being replaced in a while with Sportlines. My standard dampers are just about dead, so what should i replace them with? I've got budget of £400 and am quite tempted to just put a new set of stanard dampers back in...
After going to the Silverstone meet today I’m feeling somewhat frustrated by my car, granted its quick but just doesn’t have the wow factor of some of the machine on display today, namely the black/red 197. So where should I go next? In the pipeline is a set of Sportlines and some new dampers...
As some of you well know my 172 has had a bit for work done on it recently by the good people at GDI. Basically after having my car for a while I was a little bored with the performance and it was getting a little predicatable. Even without the traction control (Euro import). So after a few...
My little baby is away getting some 'upgrade' done, she was dropped off on wednesday and i won't get her back until monday week at the earliest, its gonna be a long wait! Got a Laguna as a replacement, but its just not the same.
Just thought I'd share that with you.
I've been offered the chance to use my car as a test bed for a new product (can't say too much) and wonder if anyone else has had there cars used like this? Did it all so ok or was it a never ending trail of disaster?
Destorying my car! 8 hours at Bedford west circuit means:
1 1/2 tanks of super unleaded, average 18mpg
1 set of knackered brakes
1 cooked set of PE2's
1 one dead centre section.
But one hell of a good time! :cool: :cool: :cool:
I'm currently running a 172 FF on Super unleaded which returns around 38mpg, the car is off for a upgrade to around 200bhp, how much of a drop in mpg can I expect?
Is this theory correct, or am I cocking someones website up:
1) Download page from server
2) Edit in dreamweaver (only text atm)
3) reload to server
job done?
Spotted this car again in the visitors parking bays at work. Very nice anthratie painted turinis, and colour coded badges. Personal plate with 'skindemon' written on it, any takers?
a 172 with 52K on the clock will make after:
ECU remap
new cams
Inlet manifold work.
assuming its running around 165ish, I reckon 190 isn't impossible.
Ok, its only my PSP really.

followed a striped 182 (possibly a Cup) up the A6, then passed you when I turned around in Clapham
also spotted a Artic blue 182 in the car park at Sainsbury.
