option, 172 mk2 it was standard

better off buying an Integra Type R DC5 IMO

somebody else on here got one for £24, xxx from a main dealer too

pop into a dealers and ask for a deal, dont phone them - they aint gonna get a sale over the phone so wont bother their arse. I went in to the dealers a year ago and asked how much and got £3.5k off list.

they say 40% after 3 years i.e. £6250 or so if youre lucky

yeah keep on at them, tell them what you spend there and per month / per year and your immediate family and ask if theyre willig to lose x amount of cutom to the competition. Yes theyre big and dont care about your custom you make think, but they cant turn round and say ok feck off to asda then...

pollokshaws branch are arse holes, senior sales guy is a completer t**ser - he lost a sale cause he was so reluctant to give me a test drive cause at my age (22 at the time) he didnt think I was a serious buyer. So instead of buying a used 172 from him I went to Bishopbriggs and got a brand...

me too despite me spotting other people, then again they dont seem to be members.

K80 STY thats the one, see it in on Gt Western Rd sometimes

Theres a pink 206cc in Glasgow aswell, Kirsty or something is the private plate IIRC

where you based dodson?

yeah, be prepared to travel for one. great car to have owned though, handling is amazing - go for one without power steering and without cat i.e. 115bhp

i got mine for £1500 from the Glenfarg Garage in Perthshire (bout 2.5 years ago), it only had 67k on it. You can get them for cheaper - but theyre few and far between for a clean one. drivers seats are usually all torn (due to very thin material) 205 rallye was worse for it. I kept mine about...

1.6 engines are stronger and the 1.6 suffers less from liftoff oversteer (well they are more predictable...) see my profile pic for my old miami blue 1.6gti [Edited by rory182 on 28 April 2005 at 10:46am]

im a great fan of 205s having had a gti, handling is phenomenal. But for my track car / play thing Ive decided to go for a lotus 7 style kit car instead. Probably a bit dearer to buy but wont require any track mods so probably cost similar. 2.0 Pinto engined things to be had for under £3k...

cupped 182s have exact same interior as 182s... 182 cup is a different matter.

most are probably running a higher turbo boost than standard. With a LSD they should pull better and handle shouldnt they?! Theyre not slow though.

my mate has one, they have a LSD god theyre ugly 0-60 in 6.5 standard IIRC. Will a standard Willy not keep up with one? My mate was trying to keep up with my 182 - but that wasnt racing, just playing.

i doubt theres a huge difference, speed will be similar handling will be similar. Although you get the luxuries in the 182 you talk of. The 182 is brilliant on juice too (same engine...) and can be had for £11k brand new. I wouldnt like to sell one at a big loss to buy another one new and...

too late to change, youve made the mistake of picking the zr over a 172, 172 cup, or 182 and now unless youre willing to throw money away youre stuck with it.

i loved the bit in gone in 60 seconds when he went to the ferrari dealers and said that if he went for a 360 or sumthin hed be an over indulgent weener but if he went for a vintage one hed be a connoisseur - so true!

yup, sad. There used to be a Ferrari F40 (kit perhaps) in Bearsden with Factory sponsor stickers all over it - dont think he raced it either, looked stupid.

cant see them - are they for public viewing?

I saw a LHD one on the A9 about 2 months ago, was very surprised to see it! probably a journalist out test driving it.

Theres a guy in Lanarkshire who drives about in his 360 Modena with a Ferrari pit crew style fire suit on, another t**ser! Its not jealousy, honest

once they catch on theyll wave too, so I wave to 172s, 182s, Williams and V6s

cause its a nightmare to whap em out with your seatbelt on?! lol

no need to drive something like that like an arse really, would be great fun blasting the A9 in one of em :devilish:

Last night, bout 6pm I guess Black mk2 172 southbound approaching Dual Carriageway before speed camera - before Luncarty bit...

Saturday (today) parked a couple of rows in from main entrance, blue 172 cup, seen it there before. Anyone here? [Edited by rory182 on 23 April 2005 at 4:35pm]
