Louder than my Magnex.

I was out with y0z in his Cup last night and that does exactly the same. Im pretty sure its the same thing that you have Paul.

I was just having a look at the BP website when I came across this. Who are they trying to kid: http://www.bp.com/ultimate/uk/testing/testing_procedure.asphttp://www.bp.com/ultimate/uk/testing/testing_procedure.asp I see its only 97ron over here, instead of the 100ron they get elsewhere.

So where were you when we phoned? I expect you couldnt hear the phone over the engine note. ;)

Myself and y0z thought wed give him a call on our way back from the cinema. We thought hed still be out playing, but there was no answer. All the excitment of the day must have tired the poor chap out. ;)

Mine rarely does it under hard acceleration. It does it a lot more under slow cornering on half to full lock.

Mine does it, and they cant fix it. Apparently the fix only takes on 8/10 cars. Its the front suspension strut tops. I drove another 172 at the weekend and managed to get that to do exactly the same thing.

Wooooohooooooo. Excellent news mate. All that hard work and stress is about to pay off, big style. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/MexWave.gif http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/MexWave.gif

172gal, believe me it was noticable. 172s always seem to lack real pull from low revs, but not roamers. It was a neck wrenching ride. You only have to watch the video clips to see how hard it accelerated. Its acceleration is a lot more brutal than a standard 172. I should think Roamers...

Look at jas and chavy, both ready for pipe and slippers and they have valvers.;) Age means nothing as long as you are happy with the car you drive. My old man is enjoying himself in a Celica. Hes into his 50s now.

I saw that, it was on early diesel 307.

I take it thats who you are onto now then. ;) Jesus thats terrible mate. As long as everyone is okay, the car can be replaced. I really think you should join me for that beer tomorrow night to drown your sorrows.:D

Remind me to get some good ones next week mate. And make sure I do it before I get steaming drunk!

Or just ask them not to fit it in the first place. Dont they usually come on the back seat to avoid damage when they take it off the transporter?

A guy at work has one for his Supra. He kept going on about me getting one, but I was too lazy and went the easy route and got a Magnex!!

I go over some really nasty speed bumps and have yet to catch mine yet.

Come to think of it, Im sure mine doesnt make the loud ticking cooling down noise as much as it did. When its running all I can hear is the deep burble from the exhaust. :D Buying a new exhaust is an expensive way of getting rid of the hot metal cooling down noise dont you think?

I swapped before the rattle appeared! But then Ive got more than enough with the dash board rattling and the knocking from the front. :@

Pity you its not summer then you would have some nice dry roads to play on. :D Have fun and get some pictures up for us all to drool over.

Good luck BikeMan. I really hope you get this sorted out soon. I agree with you about the ex demo thing, Ive driven many brand new demos as hard as possible without even warming them up!! Stick to your guns mate and once again, good luck.

Yep, that was mine gaz. Thats the fella, I think youll be happy with it. I know myself, telford_mike and Hippychick are very happy with ours. Its very boomy for the first 3-400 miles I found, after that it just sounds spot on. :D I think the twin round suits the mk2 but I prefer the oval...

It was rained off mate. :(

Come on, its been at least a 5 days. ;) I need to get some of it clean and in daylight with the splitter on. It currently looks like its been rallying after Santa Pod at the weekend.

Itll be worth the wait Gaz. :D http://www.leemather.plus.com/images/Newclio/clionew_08.jpg

Thats the one.

At least it has some obvious improvements, I was worried it would just be a way to sell the Cup at a higher price. Look at the end of line 172, were there any more features that could be added to it!! It cant have been a cheap car to produce with all the goodies it had. Nice to see the...

They rattle like a skelleton cracking one off in a biscuit tin.

In the driving scene the wheels look like the existing 172 wheels.

Yep, new exhaust too. I suppose at least its got one showing now, even if it is a bit feeble. ;)

I noticed the wheels but not the zorst. *watches it again*
