Howdy all - oh no, gotta get the 172 cup booked in as its her 3rd Bday soon... Firstly, anyone know any decent places in Herts (Stevenage) that have a good rep... Also, wonder if its worth everyone else with their Cups reporting how they get on with their MOTs, see if there are any common...
hmm... werent there a 182 (trophy) Vs V6 thread the other week? and it seemed that the "winner" or preffered performance choice was the trophy... With this mad logic in mind... Arent we in some crraazzzzyy barny rubble type way comparing the Trophy Vs Evo too?
ah nice.. ill look out for you if im near there same time on a friday..
Do you or Andy do MOTs by the way??... one thing i need to ask... i PMd andy about it but he didnt get back to me, maybe hes snowed under or something.. But when andy had a look under my car he said my, and i quote as best...
when mine went in for work i looked under the dash near the pedals to see what was like most of the underside of the dash missing! was fuming.. only to post on here and find out that they are all ilke that!..... oh! :)
:) im not a spastic rectum head :) hehe ..... i know power figures sell.. but why be so precise and make damn stickers. i bet none they do are dead on 202... spose it would look better than "approximately 202" tho
why do companies insist on an exact figure?? and making stickers showing 202... surely the way each car comes out of the factory would differ.. after BBR some falling as low as 195 up to maybe 206ish.. if all ended up with exactly 202 then thats a dodgy RR isnt it? - any idea on which cams and...
love mine, not really for application possibly.. but just feels more certain, and looks better.... always get the comments "aww what a diddy nob"......
erm
sh*t! i thought it was just the exhaust manifold that was different !! going 4-2-1 and not 4-1 like the 172... would buying this 182 inlet manifold be the same as getting BEN_R to "do" my 172 inlet?
thats the proper development car just changed colour and wheels... did you change the wing mirrors tho? if not, they are boom.. looks like a 4 seater too.. wierd
he said the gains for THE CHEAPER one are 8 brake! not the £300 one... so thats 8 brake for £150.. or maybe cheaper with group buy!! mental.. count me in.. can someone start a "group buy thread" so we can get this moving.. ill be up for this and Andys SMT groupie too... thats me counted in :)
Haha crazy world... yeh it was me... i was "zooming" huh :)... cool.. Whats your mate drive?.. i use so much god damn petrol when its dry, shame its crap tonight! :(
alright Clio R.... Yep, im on here :) - cheers for your comments... was taking her for a run mate... oh, and by the way, are you Jex? ;) if so, take your "gimp" comment back from Herts-Cruise ;) lol
Ah, it is you! same e-mail addys in your profiles - mailto:b@stard">b@stard :)

Wo Wo Wo!!! where have i been for the past month.. Trophy!! match against a V6?!?!.. Serious Qs here... i thought the Trophy was almost identical to the 172 cup... its still 182 bhp but surely isnt as light as the 172cup.. or is it?.. whats the BHP per Tonne of each plz peeps.. ta... (Dont tell...
Well if it was last Friday or Saturday then it may have been me!... lowered, private "cup" plate, red viper in grille, dark wheels, prospeed letter box cut in bumper exhaust, and ms design grille.. Parked near the Waterpark hotel thingie...
standard V standard is the 172 Cup Vs Trophy an even match?,.. the Trophy has more power but is the cup lighter??.. (serious question - not a firestarter)
Howdy - friend just bought a Golf GTI 1.8 turbo... now.. he and someone else is saying that it ISNT the V5 because the V5 is a 2.3L engine or something.. now thats completely new to me!.. i always thought the engine range for golfs (and many others) were:
1.8 v5/20v Turbo
2L GTI (Non turbo)...
no, probably just a heavy right foot... the place is a b*****d for police though... I thought it was two birds in your car though as you went past.. i sware i saw a girl with long blonde hair or something - oh and nice car too.. mine needs a clean!
kinda makes sense i guess... isnt that a similar way to stealth technology works.. just covering the vehicle in different angeled flat panels so the radar is bounced off into the sky etc...
