will a V6 gear surround fit the 172. the bit that is the same colour as the car + gear knob and gaiter ?

although the gear stick would be lowe when fit to a 172 would this be just a straight swap (its the blue bit under the dash.)
but the last M3 i drove a nice convertable with SMG was owned by the most unasuming man ever. sure there are plenty of dickhead M3 drivers as not many people use the car for performance more about posing.. but said driver on that vid probably was impressed with the saxo but still drove off the...
A.) because the guy is creaming his pants like a girl because he is faster than another car (uuhhhgg splurb, sticky seats)
b.) Because if you have ever driven an M3 you will know that their RWD and 50:50 weight distribution make them awesome handling amongst other things.
c.) They are built...
Amongst other interesting stuff relating to GrpN ECU flash for the 182/172 this was included in the email:
We are still waiting for a head to head shoot out (6 months now!)
against K-tec racing with their own 172 turbo in conjunction with
Performance GTI Magazine. Our proposal for this...
il wait until the heavier new RS come out with its big wheels then il capitalise on the depreciation and get myself a cupped 182 maybe with recaros or a 182cup with recaros.
perhaps get a yellow 182 or a petrol blue.
the next RS is aimed squarley at the UK market so it will sell far more...
so which make are noisy. how is it to drive normally and how is it down Bumpy B roads at mid to high speeds ( i mean yorkshire bumpy with cacking great big dents all over the road)
just turn the keys to the off posistion pull them out then put them in and fire up as usual.
but anyway KDF i know more than you blerp tell me what happens when you do drive off with this still activated which is sooo cool ?
hold down the button on the end of your windscreen wipers then whilst doin that turn your iginition to its fullest setting without actually firing the car up.
voila !
a lot of you probably know about this but if your bored tonight and want to do it you can get the motorshow effect from your clios speedo + dash lights where the needles do a self test upto 160mph and if makes lots of flashes and beeps..
why arent 172s or 182s fitted with them as standard ? do they make the car more tricky to drive if your a novice, reduce understeer ?, twitchy on bumpy roads ? or just to pricey to fit so they use a cheap traction control software instead
also like to add i think if your engine off and you havent got the key in the engine but you press the door lock button after 25mins the doors are unlocked i belive but i could be wrong ?
this is boring me.. show us some sounds from inside and out + 0-100 vids or at least recorded times with the ap22 sport meter. standard 172 will do 0-100 in 17.5s 182 17s.
how much LBFT before and after.
sorry if it has been mentioned before.
awesome news. cant wait for the website to get up and running. at last aplace we can be confident in tuning in instead of shopping our clios for turbo cars.
better start saving
i have to agree the MK1 v6 is a heffer and the MKII has more power but is even heavier still.
MK1 V6s dont do 5.9 to 60 hehe that MKII with 250hp only does 5.8. the mk1 does 6.3 - 6.6 consitently because of RWD and the heavy engine over the rear axel. the FWD Cup with its pretty poor traction...
lighter but at the expense of side air bags ? hmm.. i like them but i think R32 style seats or aftermarket cobras would be a cheaper and better bet.
still.. very smart
which is exactly right ^^^ any faster than a 6.5 to sixty and 145mph in a supermini and you mite aswell get an awd turbo saloon or spend some cash on something that looks as fast as it is. what do people want from a cheapo french super mini 0-60 in 5s ? 150mph. there wanting to sell to everone...
haha.. thats a joke isnt it ???
if its serious then this is a good chance to get the finished article on the rollers and see the actual power released by LAD
