The teardrop will make no difference to the sound. The resonance happens on all 172's/182's I've been in, and is made more noticeable by an induction kit. I think it may be a trait of the engine/cams as my exhaust amplifies the resonance in a similar manner. I have a pic of where the...

That's filled in by default mate ^^ And to the V6 owners - If you need a car to attract women and get yourself noticed, you are indeed a little bit sad. And on the car itself - Love them. Would have one in a heartbeat. Slow or not.

Horses for courses I guess. I didn't find there to be much between the ph1 and ph2. Ph2 was a bit firmer and I preferred the gear ratios in the ph2. Ultimately I made my decision on looks. Disliked the interior and exterior of the ph1. You pays your money you takes your choice. I guess the...

Not the silver trim above the glovebox is it? I took mine off and shove some bubble wrap behind it to dampen it diwn. Worked a treat. lol.

Nice one Martin. Tres Cool mate.

Discount! Wahoo!!

Why? Did it have built in hair straighteners or something?

Is that all? I thought yours was quick? There are 172's that have done 14.6's standard and Cup's that have don 14.5's!! Your full of it!!

Agree with pretty much all of that apart from the peaky engine/lack of traction statement. Apart from 1st gear, I've never really found traction a problem. Never driven a Zetec S mind, but have heard nothing but good things about the chassis/handling.

How is a car with a simialr bhp/tonne ratio and 4wd drive going to piss on a Clio in a straight line? Maybe 100+ the extra power will make the difference....

That exhaust is soooo 2005. ;)

I had no idea people still said the word 'Yo' :cool: Welcome to CS. :race:

Why is dyslexia so f**king hard to spell? And why is abbreviation such a long word? Lets face it.... the English language is rubbish. Lng liv txt spk. lol. ;) Back on topic - An experienced welder (it's all about the amps you see!!) will be able to weld your cat no problemo. I wouldn't...

Not really anything in it below 100. It's quite feasible that a 130bhp VTS and a 166BHP Clio would have a similar power to weight ratio. Add to that the peppier gearing in the VTS and you can see how the two could be close...... BUT I have pasted a VTS quite convincingly.... guess you get...

You need a Torx bit. Can't remember the size.

As far as I'm concerned the JC5 gearbox is bearly capable of dealing with the torque from a standard F4R'd Clio. Mines started to get loose after just 24,000 miles. I have a feeling that some of the internals may be made from cast dairy milk.

I've got a shift light thatnk you very much. As have all Ph2's. But not all Ph1's.....;)

Strangely nearly all the best Ph1's have as many ph2 bits on them as possible. So best to cut out the middle man and buy a ph2. ;-)

I think I'm getting old. Looks too low at the back imho. Nice car though.

I'm not sure, but I'd imagine it's a CAT5 connection the same as the Xbox thus you'll need a PC with a NIC using ICS or a router.

As above. If there wasn't a number plate size recess they would look cool. As it is it looks like you couldn't afford a full size plate.:clown: uber gash imho.

Hmmm. Mental note to self; *get afr checked*

As above. Although the main reason I didn't get one was it was never going to command a premium price above my 172, given the required initail outlay to get one.... The 172/182's are treated on the second hand car market as exactly what they are - Pretty much the same f**king car.

Would be too much for a minter at that price mate tbh. Should be looking sub 8 really.

lol. Angel of 't North. Looking over the M1. As a side note, your number plate looks gash.

Mine pops without a decat.

He's downloadng from a private tracker by the sound of it, so you'll have to wait for him to host it for you I guess...

That's another good point. As it stands, there isn't much my Xbox can't do. I have XBMC as my default dash (Project Mayhem III skin) and it's superb.

You'll need to replace the gaskets mate yes. They are compression type iirc. I watxhed Nick do mine and it didn't look too difficult. Just lots of stuff to unbolt, disconnect etc. I don't know of any mappers in the South.... Hillpower and YozzaSport are Midlands based.
