Depends what you're after. You can get a lower mileage cup for the same money, as it's less desirable. Has air con, abs, etc so not exactly bare bones.

I wouldn't use the car. The mileage doesn't matter, the rubber wears due to exposure to air/moisture, so if you left a brand new car untouched for seven years it could still snap the first time you started it. Why take the risk?

The left hand lever adjusts the seat height on the drivers side. Lovely car, great colour. The RX8's a great car, but the fuel costs are just too high given the performance

4.5-5k, but it is a very slow market, be prepared to wait.

Why not get another ph1? Similar weight to the cup, but you get abs. Ph1 + coilovvers would be about the same price as a cup, and probably be more fun.

Insurance is a declaration of truth, not telling them means your giving them a way to refuse a pay out. Plus, if you were unlucky enough to get pulled over by an officer who notices your car's lowered, they can check within 5 mins if you've insured the mods. If not, no insurance = 6 points on...

Up to a point that true, but the ability to steer and brake hard is an advantage on the road. We shouldn't ever get into the situation, but it's nice to have the safety net there.

I've had sportlines, prolines, apex. Apex are awful. End of. Far too harsh, feels like the dampers don't get chance to deal with bumps, car was undriveable over anything but smooth tarmac. Best thing about the cups is the handling, why ruin it for an extra 10mm drop?

Don't think he's having a locking up problem, ph1's have ABS.

Used a high strenght bolt to mount it on the other side of the mounting point (if that makes sense!).

Ferodo DS2500, Brembo discs, braided hoses, job done.

Cup had a slightly different servo (IIRC) to make them easier to modulate.

Same brakes. The standard brakes will haul a ph1 up quicker than a ferrari 360.

Very hard to sell at the moment. My 172 was mint, had Recaro's, sensibly priced, still took 3 months to shift.

It's the pretensioner thats a b**ch, there's nowhere on the subframe for the notch on the pretensioner to fit.

Sold to me. A b**ch to fit, but very comfy once in, and great driving position.

Ok, you've just posted 0-60 times, which I never mentioned?? Those times are based on perfect (or near perfect) launches, ie dumping the clutch at high revs. As you said, try harder genius.

If you ever sell, give me first refusal!

AR, is that what pirates say?

Focus is 2 secs quicker to 100.

Don't believe that vid for one second.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Thats why I've got 888's for next week.

Got the seats un-bolted, different leads to the ph2, can't figure out which is the airbag lead?

Get a mod to sticky this. Tried to get a list going a few months ago and it didn't really work, if it's stickied you may get a better response. My Trophy had the same issue, not mine anymore though.

:( Soon to be a married man. So yes.

Which are the nicest, nazi's or the kkk??

Saving for his quarterly visits to the darkest reaches of Eastern Europe, where the ho's are cheap and plentiful

Needs recalibrating, imagine the rolling radius is lower on the new wheels.

Driving style IMO. Mine lasted over 10k on my 182, including 2 track days, but I always kept the pressures spot on, and the alignment was spot on.

Get AST's. More expensive (£1000), but great.
