Put a pike in the engine!!! :rolleyes:
The redline is there to stop harm to the engine however if you keep hitting it then its not going to do any good especially to a car that wasnt designed to be 'ragged'!!!
By the way, why are you 'ragging' a 1.2 about you clog?? I bet your every 15...
Whats the best company??
Over the past 3 years iv flitted between Admiral and Elephant but is there any better companys out there?
Iv just tried Bell as they were a recomended but they came out a good few hundred dearer than the other two........Same company i here so dont know why that...
Nice car but as for your old geezer questioning the tyres, id say hes right as mine isnt driven like a nancy yet im on 22.5k now with the first set of pe2's on still, fronts not great but backs are fine so it doesnt sound like this lady owners been too careful to me either.
Still i wouldnt...
Alright Gramps!!! :rolleyes:
They are 150 or 180 in standard form.
I had a few standing straight line plays with a remapped 200bhp one in my old hybrid and pulled a few cars on it so i should imagine one with 225 horses will be pretty evens with a 182. Try chucking some country lanes into...
Yeah cause if some tit from Top Gear or 5th gear says so then we must all agree!!!
Lol @ "Essex".
I wish my digs were as good as yours :rolleyes:, you must be Scottish right? ;)
I was hardly being serious with the Bentley comment but in all honesty RS Focus interior is alot, lot closer to Bentley than the Cup or FF for that matter and i think 99.9% of honest, not in cloud cuckoo land people would agree.
^^^Iv seen that kinda comment loads on here and i would like to know the deffinition of 'driven'!?
I drive pretty tamely in built up areas, am in 5th gear by 30/40mph but when i get to duals/a roads its time for beans, i mean 7k stuff but im still averaging a good 36/38 mpg.
Would you...
Are we talking the same things here....Black/Blue Sparco seats??
If so your obviously not that great at jusdging nice interiors as the cup is hardly upto Bentley standard now is it!? Well last time i checked it wasnt anyway!!!
For me 182 allday, love the wheels and the backend looks less plain with the twin exhaust.......As Deb said best colours came in the 182 too. 172 has Flame which is nice but 182 has Liquid/Inferno/BlackGold/Racing/Petrol!!!
The only 172 id entertain is the Cup and even then i would have to...
Since end of May mate.
It said 205 on the slip i got through the post but when i got to the post office it had rised to 215.......Bastid eh!?
EDIT - Hang one il go and have a look at my motor actually maybe it said 195 on my slip but when i got there it was 205!? :S
Give it a go thats how you'll be able to tell.
A car with 218bhp destroying a car with 182bhp which carries what 2/300 kgs less in weight??
I cant see that somehow.
I had a play with one with a system and chip over the weekend (just had the chip apparently) and although it pulled well...
^^^Yeah tbh mate, it was abit hit and miss as to whether we floored it at the same time.....I do believe he got the better start everytime and what with the traction control on, well draw your own conclusion as to how well a car go's with it on!!!
Much prefered standing starts in my mk1 2.0...
Tricky one this. As in standard form there probably not but slightly modded maybe.
I had a go against one the weekend, three runs and although i pulled after hitting 3rd it wasnt what some would have you know.
He does have a viper and if the truth be told im not 100% that hes stopped...
Lol^^^No need for the personal insult Royston!!! ;)
It wasnt there when i started my post and as at least one off us has work to do it took me a while seal the deal and hit the post button. :D
Lol @ dual carriageway bashing and living life 1/4 mile at a time.
I thought the 182 was 9.9 second car anyway!? ;)
In my very, very, very honest opinion there isnt a whole lot of difference in a straight line between most of the hatches, whether it be CTR/RS etc and the same probably gos...
Unlucky mate but least you got a good payout on it.
Am i the first to notice '172 cup, drove one today and felt great, slightly more sluggish than my FF172'........Im suprised the cup lads havnt burnt you for that comment!!! ;)
^^^Umm tbh mate, i love my liquid and id probably buy another if something was to happen to it but id rather travel a 1000 miles and be sure on the car than give 8/9/10k to someone (dealer or not) before knowing the condition and seeing all documentation with my own eyes!!!
You must have more...
I thought all yellow ones came with cup packs!?
I would take it back and ask for a full refund if your sure what they told you was incorrect. Find the advert where it says 'cup packs included' too maybe!?
One question though, why did you part with that amount of money before seeing the car...
04-182
Im 22 with 3 years nc's and renewal this month is £788.00 fc with Admiral.
Will probably change to Bell or Elephant if i get a better deal though. I doubt id wanna be paying 6/700 quid for insurance on one at 30 though, thought it would be much cheaper than that!!!
