Bunch of gaylords. Seems CS is now inhabited by fags that need it to be easy going quick. I like that if you're eager you can spin mine with ease;).

The best cars should be a wee bit challenging to drive. You'd probably wet your wee knickers in a 205gti.

Pmsl.

And risk voiding insurance? Not smart. Especially for a girl.

No. Hence seb using the past tense.

182's are for gays. Rather a 206.

99% are s**t. Steburns' is awesome. Get a 200.

Afaik, shouldn't do.

Easy to change? Are there any guides about? Cheers!

You get what for you pay for. What will you be using the car for?

40kg will make next to bugger all difference. Especially on an already heavier car. And you have to rofl at more focussed. Why do all the big boys make there focussed models as light as possible? Why does the r26r have softer suspension than an r26? Weight is the enemy of performance/handling...

Because most people think they are ugly?

As they said in the article, the lap times don't tell the whole story.... I've still not driven a 200, but from everything I've read it clearly seems a stepup as an everyday car. But more fun for punting around a b-road? Doubtful.

Very good bits of kit. Under £90, an hour of your time to fit, done.

Get eibach unless you've £4-500 to spend. Even the cheap-shite coilovers need setting up. Whichever direction you go in, be prepared for the ride quality to deteriorate.

Don't get f**king apex. Woeful, even you would notice that they're crap.

15's were £2 a corner pricier than camskill, 16's 50p cheaper!

Yep, that's ph-reebone's.

The standard setup is good, when the 172 was 1st released Autocar put it in a big group test. Found that in braking, it outperformed the Ferrari 360 and Porsche 996.

Fit them correctly, and hardly.

Anyone thinking the Hankook is a budget option should have a look here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2009-Auto-Zeitung-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm bearing in mind that the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 is higher up the range than the Exalto.

That or 205's. I'd go for Hankook V12 Evo's. Cheap, and I prefer them to Goodyear F1 and the hallowed Exalto (said to the accompaniment of angel's playing harp's).

I would of saved a bit and gone for Brembo hc, but should be a good setup.

Flip side is why tie up thousands in capital, in a depreciating asset? Lets say the list price is £15k ish, which you pay outright. After 2 years, you sell. Or take the finance route, and invest £14k. Invest widely and you'd probably end up better off.

Camskill are out of stock, and will be for weeks. Ordered 4 from www.blackcircles.co.uk on friday, arrived monday. Similar price to camskill, slightly cheaper iirc for 16 inch.

Hateful, heavy wheels. Prefer standard tbh.

Oofft, commited! I couldn't live with that spec for day2day use! I think a dished wheel would look very good. I think you could probably make decent cash doing wheel converions like that for 182 owners!

D shape wheels are a bit wanky IMO, but car looks good. How much track work have you done?

Actually a cs hero IMO. Good on you fella.

Having tried a few types, I'd go for the ds2500's. Even if the rc5+'s hadn't disintegrated on me, I would of gone back to ferodo.
