The STi comes in at over 22K! The PPP is another 2 grand.
Youd be as well getting an imported WRX and whack the PPP on it for a car faster than an STi(prior to the PPP) in a straight line! WRX + PPP = £18500 on import! With that you get 265BHP, 260lbf/t, 0-60 - 4.8!!
15.1 for that cup, hitting the limiter all the wat through first and getting a gash start compared to craggy, looks like the 14s with ease when bone dry!!! Im impressed!
Hello Girl Racer,
Im from Dunfermline, weve had a few meets up here now, all have involved some pretty tasty/pacey drives!
I think were thinking about a karting event for the next meet, if you give Gibbo an email, hell put you on the Scottish mailing list, of course I think you have to a member!
That is diabolical!
The car is still sodding in the first year of warrenty. I cant beleive they are being like that. I rejected my car because it had tiny rust marks all over it, they quibled about that for a while but a bit of pestering made them change their mind. They are surely...
The 172 is nippy around towns!
Im sorry mate but that is the most preposterous statement I have ever hear regarding the 172. Yes I often find my self being able to take that right hander on the high street at least 3 mph faster than a CTR, very satisfying!
Im not going to get into this...
The thing is Stu doesnt have a bad car, he looks to me to have an average 172. Both mine have had similar problems, my current one has all the problems stu has mentioned bar the scratch on the glass! The thing is I just put up with them, Ive just accepted they come with the territory when...
Hes not really been unluck coz most of the problems hes had there I have had., ie the cig lighter lifting the whole centre section!:(
I have to agree with you regarding wanting just a wee bit more from a car overall. Although I just think the CTR is a sideways step. Of the two Id prefer the...
I certainly wont be buying my next car from a dealer. It will defo be an import, either a new WRX - £16,800 plays £20000, or the new V6 if it comes in dirt cheap on an import!
BTW anyone seen the new PPP for the latest WRX, you could have a Focus RS eater for a grand and a half less!!!
The only difference would be when you come to trade the car in, if your selling privately you could conceivably get some mug willing to give you too much for it!
I know what you mean about the ECU retarding the revs when cold, it can make a huge difference, as I found out when i raced my mates chipped Cupra when cold! Big difference when warmed up though!
Thats just it though, the car was good in its time, its all a bit dated now. VW did a test round Oulten(I think), they raced all 4 GTIs the new GTI 180 beat all of the previous models. Infact correct me if im wrong but i think it went, MKIV, MKIII, MKII,MK1!
Why is it this forum seems to only have one moderator than can do anything about these sort of posts. Its pointless and takes up bandwidth and space on the server.
LOCK IT!!!!!!!!!
