The Queen Mother's catchphrase was "Never apologise, never explain". Fact.

Also the 1.4 16v is b****cks slow under 5000 rpm. At least with the DCI you get a little turbo 'surge'.

Yep. Your UCH is goosed.

72,000 miles or 5 years.

It's just good practice to replace the belts when you have them off to fit the cams. Only pikeys reuse belts.

Give it a sugar lump?

This sounds exceptionally safe and legal. I advise you do not do this.

WOW. A 19 stone bodybuilder. WOW! That'll help on the internet. Sounds like you're just overweight to me.

I once got 70+MPG out of a Ph1 1.4 16v, hyper-milers have nothing on me. 60mph on a massive downhill stretch of the M62 for ages.

I get more to a gallon with a 172 than I did with a PH2 1.4 16v. But that could be down to the way I drove it.

Go on a crash diet, it's much easier and both you and your car will look better for it.

Shout louder and you may get an answer.

Apologies Phil, I was reading another thread about a 172 Cup with a guy called Mark and got a bit mixed. I keep off the bypass usually, it's the **** end of the A46 farrrrr too straight (also when I had my 206 GTi I got blown away by at D5 Volvo on there :o), best bit is towards the Brigg end...

I don't think there is one, is there?

Hell. No.

Still seems a bit pointless when the standard 172 Cup is probably still faster than what he has now.

Reading this thread it makes me LOL even more at the thread talking about spending £2000 on mods for a Clio 172. Basically Mark, you've spent £1300 and all you have achieved is a buggered Clio that is worth less 2nd hand. You're a smart guy.

And people laugh at me for saying modifying your car is for f**king morons.

About 1000% rarer.

I did it. Had my knee royally fucked up in a crash that I was totally non-fault at, had an ambulance chaser coming after me for over 6 months. Turned it now, gave me a warm feeling. My knee sometimes still aches but I man up about it.

Re: Lion to be released this evening? Also just crashes on launch for me.

Re: Lion to be released this evening? Yes you just have to reinstall the iTunes beta. PM me if you want a link.

Re: Lion to be released this evening? I hear Microsoft's licensing costs for NTFS are pretty steep. lol First thing I did was turn the scrolling off, because I use a Razer gaming mouse and the wheel going backward to scroll felt MENTAL. It's strange you can't set it to scroll one way on the...

Re: Lion to be released this evening? Yeah I had issues with Chrome in the GM build. So I went to using Firefox 5 which is pretty good in Lion. As for NTFS, someone will fix it soon, you'll just have to wait. That's what you get for updating straight away. I have the latest iTunes and iPhoto...

Yeah but utter shite sound quality. The ACTUAL best solution is a proper iPhone/iPod headunit. The SONY ones are okay and are also nearly as much as a tunepoint costs, plus you'll probably get Bluetooth too.

Re: Lion to be released this evening? I'm rocking a Hybrid SSD/HDD (Seagate Momentus XT). Was really cheap for the 500GB model and it well f**king snappy.

Re: Lion to be released this evening? Yep. :) That's what I did.

They use AA batteries, but you can get this: http://www.apple.com/uk/battery-charger/ The batteries will last MONTHS.

TBH the graphics in the latest MacBook Pro models would be good enough for the next 2-3 years worth of PC gaming with Windows 7 dual booting alongside Lion.
