I'm going to go to the next one. I currently drive a diesel Ibiza which is depressing, although I will be getting a Clio track car soon which will be my third 1*2.

I need to start getting involved with the West Midlands lot. I'm friends with a load of the North West boys but I moved to Birmingham last year for work and haven't bothered with CS much.

To be fair I wouldn't be massively worried out mileage. There is nothing that will cost more than around £ 1,000 to fix and that would only be if your engine catastrophically failed.

At legal motorway speeds my ph1 172 would do 44mpg all day long. I take what you mean though, these Fiesta's are a game changer for the modern small got hatch.

Call them and explain?

Nice car, bet it looks great over there. How do you find the auto box?

That looks stunning on Turini's. These really are a great car, think I need to drive one but I think if I did my bank card would be out.

The Megs generally don't sound that good. I know of a couple that do but compared to other 2.0 turbos like the Astra VXR they sound terrible. Shame really. plans for the car look god though mate, I'm a huge fan of the R26.

Forget the bloody car it can be replaced for £ 2500, I thought the lad had died!!! Glad he is ok, car looks to have done him proud.

You could feel it start to pull harder, and the engine tone would change slightly.

My 182 used to kick noticeably and the tone of the engine changed at 5k. My 172 didn't quite so much, that said NWP had changed the cambelt and fucked it up so that would probably explain that one.

Oh yeah that's spot on. I don't think they'd put up with us in the post part though.

Bleu Nord is f**king fantastic if you like freezing cold showers and pikeys.

There aren't many 172's for sale these days. They all seem to have disappeared.

My MX5's alarm was really over sensitive, when I was at uni I had exactly the same situation. It was worsened when my mates realised banging on the soft top would set it off; every time we went out one of them had to set the alarm off on my car, t***s.

Scorpion SRN019 and decat. Search youtube for it. Great system, sounds good, loud when you want it to be but doesn't drone on cruise control. I loved mine and would buy one again for a 182.

I'm as shocked as you mate

Decats are awesome. Definitely do it, best thing I did to my 182.

Get an app that allows you to use 0800's at standard rates and then you'll be insured, will save you not only the cost of a phone call but also £ 200.00 and 6 points. 0800 Wizard for example.

Car looks great but those bloody LED street lamps are far too bright. There is one right outside my house does my head in.

I used to change down through every gear in my 182 because with a decatted exhaust system the noise is great with the rev match. I also used to ensure I reg matched to prolong the life of the transmission. Now I have a leased diesel Seat Ibiza I don't bother as it has a warranty and doesn't have...

Ideal then. Unbelievable how much kit you can get a Fiesta these days.

Mine did that when a pulley on the aux cable was worn. I got a new aux kit fitted by Fred and it was fine.

Lovely specced car that mate. If you only keep it 12 months will you not take a huge hit of depreciation? That said it's the most desirable spec so shouldn't be hard to move on. Enjoy it.

Re: CS camping trip 2014 Spunds good to me mate.

Laugh and beer. Mint.

I recall nothing of the sort, or of 90% of the trip haha

I think you're just driving quicker to listen to it. You also get worse mpg in winter too as there are more cold starts etc. just don't worry about it.

Nice car. Any plans for it?

I really want another at some point. Having owned a ph1 and a 182 I feel that the 182 was a better all round car, but the ph1 always felt more special. They are becoming a little more rare though, the early ones like I had are now over 13 years old. Fortunately they don't seem to rust but...
