Just picked up my spankin new 172 today! yaay!....a BIG difference to my outgoing but excellent 1.5dci! Boy that spare wheel and tool kit weigh a ton!, glad they are now in my spare bedroom cupboard ;) some lightweight alloys for my new baby I think. Only one problem I have seems to be the...

Doing 30mph around a roundabout in the wet? I think most cars would twitch a bit.

Bet they are fun to keep clean!!

Sent an email enquiry to H&S: Richard Thank you for your enquiry, the cat back system is £425 with the tail pipe exposed, £400 with hidden tail pipes, I would suggest not to mess around with the cats/lambda sensor as you will have problems, the gain should be about 10...

Why will removing the cat produce an increasse in exhaust noise?, I thought it just lessened the emmissions? is a cat responsible for noise control as well?

Viz stylee top tip: Pretend you already have one and save the total incurred cost of supply and fitting. ~Perfect~

"...canfordcliffs, what date have you been given?" None, was never given a date, just being told it should be here next week "sometime"! Bournemouth Olympian Renault.

As per Tomboy, my 172 has been delayed (ordered last week of July) some mumbled excuse about cruise control and the fact I am ordering Sat Nav. Delays were more likely due to the fact that it was very warm and sunny on the Riviera this year and they were all late back from their extended...

Deer are protected animals by the Crown, you are committing a criminal offence by killing one. Be gratefull you didnt have 300lbs of prime Rudolph venison come crashing through your front windscreen impaling you on a splendid pair on antlers. Now do the decent thing and make a contribution...

Lie at your risk. Insurance companies are there to make a profit, they are looking for a reason NOT to pay you in the event of a claim. If they find you have lied on your application form in any respect they are entitled to pay you NOTHING for hitting that new BMW and you will personally be...

nice!!..good video too, worth the wait huh?...212bhp!...mmm what was the approx cost for all that work then??

Yeah ditch it and buy a TVR, they are very reliable.

Yeah Mr Muscle rocks! green with vinegar version, use an old soft cotton t-shirt.

Ordered a 172 last week of July and am being told it may be ready to pick up end of October..unfortunately everything closes down for the whole of August?!

Bearing in mind all the problems that people have had with the crap 172 exhaust Id look elsewhere mate!

Snap!...well almost...Should be picking up my new 172 also in blue within the next 10 days....getting the sat nav as well...so when Im stoned I can find my way home from Amsterdam! :sick:

Get an early Scooby Sti....not just bloody fast but has an amazing chassis too, get one as clean as possible, very reliable and there are a couple of good Scooby boards to answer all ya questions..miss mine a lot!, bloody mortgage...

"The dealer wouldnt take resopnsibilty and claimed these had been caused by large bees!! hitting the car whilst driving. Yeah right!!" ROFL!!!!...excellent excuse...wait till Britsh Rail hear that one, great reason to slow the trains down as well!

Not if they are stationary in a car park with nobody in them of course (youd be joining Frank Bruno at the funny farm if you did that!) but if you see another one do you flash or wave?

0-100mph 10.5 seconds How do they manage this then?..is it just because of the weight saving?..engine is at 180bhp right?..but there must have been some massive modifications to achieve these times?

As they all seem to rattle like a Big Issue sellers tin its probably just as well.

Agree with Aledw...if in doubt get some tips from the pros, there are enough courses out there now giving expert tuition in front and rear wheel cars.. http://www.evo.co.uk/http://www.evo.co.uk/ do several track day courses...some specialising in Cup/172/V6 cars...lots of other adverts in...

Looks like an Airfix model kit made by an enthusiastic but unfortunately talentless 8 year old.

Nice!, what was the total cost for that?

Im getting my new 172 in the next 3 weeks, would be well happy to swap the alloys for a set of new cup ones!!

Mmmm I hit a fox in my Clio 2 months ago, didnt kill it but took some of its tail off, checked my rear view mirror to see it limp away, very pissed off...think it gave me the finger not sure. Actually did no damage to the front of my Clio at all, though some blood traces... Was very upset as...

OK...if it is that crap I will consider changing it...will the remotes on the wheel still control say a Kenwood or Alpine head unit?

Am looking to get a nice sounding ICE install in my newly arriving 172, have in the past had a good relationship with Rockford Fosgate amps...so will probably continue with that and some Alpine speakers, but is it worth uprating the standard head unit?...will you actually hear any...
