6.56 best (spurious - next lowest was 6.71!!), average 6.8 over about 7 or 8 runs. Doesnt seem a million miles out if standard is 7.1 to 62 mph. Mk2 172 btw, with half a tank, set of golf clubs, bag, magazines, football kit, clothes trainers etc all in boot.
Not bad considering. lol. Could...
What the f**k was the 172 driver doing in first gear?? sh*t load of wheel spin or aomething revs up, revs down, revs right up than a piss poor change into second. And the gearing in the mk1 172 makes it slower in the midrange. Even though, it should have murdered a 325 imho.
From all the things that go wrong with them, from my time on here I can noly recall a handful of actual engine problems. Mostly niggly electrical problems, but very few mechanical failures in comparison.
And thats all. But for £25, who cares??!! I just wish there were more perfectly flat roads near me. Used an ever-so slight downhill and got a 5.8, which is nearly a second quicker than the best on the flat. lol.
BUT if you use the same peice of road and the same settings, it could be a handy...
Best of 6.56. Averaged 6.82. Fat Slow 172.
Seems a little bit... erm...dodgy. Difficult to set perfectly and very easy to manipulate the readings. But good fun. And the first time Ive ever atttempted standing starts. I think I could smeel my clutch burning. lol.
As above. 80 mph is a horrible speed to cruise at in the RSs ( Mk1 not so bad, but at the price of acceleration). A dull drone.... Annoying on a long haul.

talented guy you are Roy!!!
... but orignal rubber after 13k gives you -100 man points.
8,000 on my 172.... And loony still called me gay for that. Must try harder!!!;)

"For perceived quality (the impression you get when you open the doors and touch or look at the fit and finish of the interior) the Clio is as good as small cars come. Its at least the equal of the VW Polo....."
imho... no. A lot of hassle involved ( 7hrs work - engine out, or subframe off, modifications to exhaust)
BUT you will get good gains. Apparently, and this is from the guys that know, the 182 manifold is an excellent design.

Dude, its two wires. And I managed to stretch my washer hose, but its probably easier to put a new bit in. I had some slack on mine in the roof lining so didnt have to..
