I find the pedals are no problem, I guess it depends on what type of shoes you have on, and the pattern of grip on the bottom of them in relation the the grip pattern on the pedals.

as everybody ignored my pleas on my last thread, my symptoms are a sluggish response and a buzzy vibration feel to the accellerator pedal. Im not going away till someone tells me what it is!!!!
cheers..
In what way sluggish...
Its not exactly in your line of sight either, like Tom I just use the rev counter.. unless I am really concentrating then I will change when I see the little green light at the corner of my eye.
I would have helped if I knew.. I have a mk2 ph2 172, and no haynes manual has been made.. otherwise I would have..
I am sure if people knew the answer they would have said.

LOL @ dash.
Ye.. that stuff can put on a whole different perspective.
Really, I didnt notice as much as a difference as that.. maybe I should arrange another test drive of the Cup ?
When I test drove it the first time, I certainly thought it handled a bit better but powerwise I thought it to be the same.
If you wanna talk about pollution.. diesels are the worst offenders, get rid of them and pollution would go down. Did you know that the average double decker passenger bus puts out the same emissions are 120 good condition cars ?
So by my calculations at 4-5 people a car that give yous total...
nah they are completly metal.
Cool, funny if you tried to hit the brake and your feet were stuck to the acc pedal, imagine trying to explain that to the police.

The cooler the air is, the more oxygen-rich it is, so as a result, more fuel can be added to any given volume of air by the engine management.
Knew That !
Cars actually make more power in the cold weather. This is one of the reasons...
I have noticed this a few times before, I assume the just used the same roof from the rest of the clio range, hence the cutout.
If you get in your car when the roof is frosted up and put your heaters on the sunroof shaped bit melts first.
*goes outside now*
Always am carefull.. thx dad.. ;)
Rich, I know it affects all engines.. just seems on the 172 engine it is more noticable to my previous cars. Maybe its cause the 172 is quite tuned it uses the cold air better than a 2.0l untuned engine ?
also -4, I seemed to notice too that the 172 engine (be it cup or otherwise) is affected a lot by the temprature, when it was summer and we were getting 25-30C it felt slow and sluggish the entire time.
