Different mirrors in the 2nd pic. Looks like a slightly different colour too.

Miss my first 172, and my first car (mini), but non of the others.

Yeah, not sure if the seller did, he didn't mention it. Lucky I was at Steve's when the same thing happened to his, probably the reason I checked.

Love Iceburg, miss mine.

Yarp!!

Needs a clean, but will do at the weekend.

Maybeesss.;)

One of the last ones made also, 498.

Cost, mucho cheapo, miles 48k. On the high side, but feels tight.

Trophy has Recaro's, dynamique rear bench (cloth, no headrests), Speedline Turini Alloys, and the dogs danglies suspension wise. 182 has leatherette/alcantara interior, auto xenons, auto wipers, climate control (air con on the Trophy). probably more I'm not mentioning. If your not into...

Picked up my Trophy tonight, good and bad so far. Good: -Handling, even on worn tyres and in the wet the front end feels nailed to the apex -Noise. Has decat, stainless exhaust, bmc cda, sounds great. Bad: -Boot lock screwed! Apparently a fairly common fault, new solenoid required, but until...

Parked up on york rd, looks awesome.

I have no idea what most of that means.

Had a 182, about to buy a Trophy. Trophy is the far better car. I work in Worcester, you can come for a spin if you like.

When EVO ran a test, CTR and Jag (supercharged) showed the most gains, BMW m-coupe showed hardly any (better made lump). I use them more for the cleaning additives and smoother idle than any performance gain.

New sat navs have better chips and work fine. Older one's need a seperate receiver lead.

Whenever I've tried the Tesco stuff, car has run really badly. I think it's because of the Ethanol, IIRC it's not a true 99ron fuel, they artificially push the ron up with the ethanol (as opposed to Vpower which is true 99)

Also the age of the fuel plays a big role, octane rating drops with time. So find the fuel your indivual car runs best on (Vpower for me), then use a busy station where the fuel won't have been stored for months on end.

All these results mean nowt. It's been shown many times that different cars run better on different fuels (Evo's run better on Vpower, Scoobs on BP Ultimate IIRC).

:rasp:

Sorry. I'll remove the question mark immediately.

The truth hurts

He's talking about the microswitch riveted to the the subframe, that's attached to the cables.

The switch is to alter the airbag for shorter drivers. I drilled the switch out, it's nigh on impossible to rivet back in. Used superglue.

But the RS's have quite a poor amount of suspension travel (one of the biggest improvments on the 197) so although the drop would look good, would kind of defeat the purpose of the car.

Too much inferno love tonight. Welcome, lovely car, shame about the rust. Now, where's paul.

Vee's are amazing cars, but don't go over the top defending it. As I've said before, it's an aquired taste. I know several people that can't stand 911's because of the light front end and the style you have to drive them in order to get the speed out of them. The same probably applies to the...

Same driver, there won't be much in it.

Few years ago, 2 of the gf's wheels were stolen (no idea why, standard rover 25 1.4). Rings up the garage, girl on reception "Oh dear, that sounds nasty. If you drive over, we'll take a look". Kind of moron that fails a mcdonalds interview.
