I was behind you. You turned off towards Watford. Couldn't see any CS stickers on your car

Re: People are w**kers. It's all down to the individual. See if you can get a personal recommendation.

Bumper car parking FTL :dapprove:

EK9 won't murder a 172. Cars are close enough in ability that it ALL depends on the driver.

Good pics

Look great IMO

Welcome mate. There are a few Ford owners on here too and some threads comparing Fiesta ST to Clios!!!!

Glad you have thought about this for a bit. Most of the abuse was becuase you wrote such a poor initial post and the rest is that you haven't given the car a chance. Patience is the key. There are many posts on here that say owners have taken time to get to really appreciate the capabilities...

Sounds ok but we were moved on from the last meet. Having seen the amazing places that meets are held at 'up norf' it would be nice to have a meet out in the country.

My idea is to have the meet away from a shopping centre etc and for everyone to park in a line and wear name badges :rasp: And Brian takes the register.

Don't knock it :nono: Its a great car to start off with :D

Knowsit ;)

+1 The OP's post was just asking to be abused.

135i is a real sleeper :cool:

You obviously didn't know what you wanted when you bought your 182. I have had my 197 for 6 months and am only just starting to really enjoy it. This is not an indication of my driving ability (as there are many posts where owners are still learning things in their CSs) but an indication that...

Just looked on fleabay but didn't see any.

Just thinking of simple things I can do to improve my car. Has anyone bought/fitted the silver vents on the dashboard?

Power to weight is what counts. CTR will keep with a 172/182 to 100mph and lose them above 100mph.

Tommy, were you the guy that Brian and I were talking to at the end?

197 FTW :cool:. Cheaper car and you can track it.

Therefore some engines should be under, some on the money and maybe some over. Reading threads on here suggests that almost all are under by about 5% :S

+1. Modded cars are usually cheaper than unmolested examples.

My CTR did what it said on the tin. My 197 is supposed to have the same power, according to official figures but doesn't. I'm not cross or anything. I bought the car knowing all of this and still love it. S2000 = 240bhp from 2.0 NA engine

Thanks guys. Cheap ones look crap IMO. Will probably end up spending more :rolleyes:.

Fair enough mate. Just making sure that you have realistic expectations. That's what we are all here for.

Don't really want to spend £50 on mats. Where should I go. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

So selling a 5k car and buying a 3k car. All bullsh*t aside, you are going to have to spend a few quid on whatever 3k car you buy, unless you are really lucky, so is it really worth it? If you are going to keep the car for a few years, keep with what you've got, save an extra £20 a week and...

So assuming 197ps = 194bhp, the 197 is 10-15bhp down. Do you think this is reasonable? I can't understand why Renualt consistantly over estimate the power of their engines. From a real-world perspective, the car is as fast as it is and the question I ask myself is am I happy with that. Answer...

How much do you think you will get for your ST?

Bye bye clutch :S
