simon, yep Ideal Gas Law, I think its more to do with the lack of contaminants such as water and compressor oil mist etc. Though it still sounds abit extreme to me!

MSA would like to invite you to a free nitrogen tyre fill for your bikes and have a chat about tyres and bike facilities. MSA are a main specialist dealer of Michelin tyres and offer competitive prices on tyres and other ancillary bike products. The specialist tyre bay incorporates all the...

I try never to take mine into Carpark, if I need to go shopping, I borrow the wife A4, which Ps her off as its only 9 month old- at least we dont have to pay if some fool dinks it. What really annoys me are the tools who park so close u gotta climb in through the passenger side.

first 100miles I kept below 4000rpm - After that I caned it, just as reno suggested when I asked about running in. might take a trip up to RE see what it makes on the RR.

yep good idea - dont really wanna venture into enemy territory!! lol Ill be in a Iceberg 172 Mk2 - Yep 7:45 sounds great. Paul.

yep, know the spot (worked at tesco in my youf) - could meet at the citreon showroom on the main drag if u like, bit easier than the town centre. Pelican is the big pub on the left before the college (south traff)

lol - yep the 1% inerts really do the trick!! one of the other reasons to use Nitrogen is to do away with all the crap the compressors throw out, like oil etc - Did alittle reading on the subject, still seems alittle OTT for the road though. There is a place in the N/W who do Nitrogen fills...

id have thought incidently, that filling with helium would have the opposite effect. Helium is a relatively small molecule, and would diffuse faster than air, this is why the helium baloons you get deflate so quickly. but who knows? How much is it a tyre to inflate with helium?

lol brun, i always end up with my tyres flatter than when i went in. that feeling u get when u cant get the adapter on properly, and all u can hear is escaping air.

what time you set off? I live quite close to the Pelican.

waste of time (imo)! The F1 teams use Nitrogen because of its predictable expansion when hot, though it probably only counts for 0.000s of a second on a track - but in that game everything counts. I hear Shell are now providing 79% Nitrogen to all motorists who pump their tyres up at a...

nah - just go in tooled up with a big bar of soap!

where u guys meet up before - im in altrincham.

by the way steven hawking is a top bloke! if he was an engine tuner wed all need gsuits!

where bouts in manchester - might pop down and bring my cam. Our kid might come along with his 21 turbo.

its a labour of love - aluminium polishes up really well with autosol. watch out who sees you doing it - if the wife/gf/parents spot you, you will cop for all the brasses,ornaments,fire surrounds aswell - been there!

took my KLX650 in for a service at pidcocks in derby - told them I needed a loan bike, hoping for maybe a blade or a ninja. Dropped my bike off, waited outside - mechanic wheeled round a CD250 an absolute dog commuter bike - spent the rest of the day thrashin it round a field - dropped it 100s...

lot of expensive machinery out there!! There is NO way I would take my car on a day that was run like that! She did look like she was in control, but in a totally different class to everyone else.

Rallye-King - when u get in your 30s mate, those little things really start to matter - lol, no really the xenons are really cool _ damn sight cooler than buying blue lamps in an attemp to emulate them. the 172 looks a totally different car inside, much nicer place to be in a traffic jam...

why oh why did they not do a GT4 Turbo nutter bastid.

really happy with it!

Yep I picked the 172 too. No doubt that Cup colour is fantastic, but theres just too many "toys" in the 172 to pass it up. Xenon headlamps alone make it worthwhile - I luv the way the flicker when u switch them on the brighten up - Dont think u get the auto headlamps with the xenons though...

taxi!!!

lol......im too young to have heard that one! though i remember spangles, and texan bars.

Nitrous Oxide isnt a fuel, and in aint flammable. All that happens is at an elevated temperature, it decomposes (not burns) releasing oxygen and nitrogen - the nitrogen shoots off out your exhaust to join the 79% in the atmosphere. Now the oxygen left "behind" is available for combustion...

just bought some zymol classic wax 11.99 from halfords - sod its polishing ability - buy it for the smell!!!! oh - its polishing ability is quite good too - used it on the wifes swirly black A4 - looks 10 times better.

think reno must do them now - cos my 172 came with them fitted as std

u dont have to go fast Rob, mine did it with my two kids in the back coming home from a day out. Silly bugger slowed on a r/b exit - i backed off, back stepped out - only around 30mph.

I dont think the ESP on the MK2 does bugger all to prevent over or understeer, I have had a dose of both - The understeer by design, the oversteer a complete suprise! I honestly think the ESP runs about 5 seconds behind what the car is actually doing, traction control seems spot on, but...

gr8 pics :) Glad I polished it the day before!!
