Unlucky chap. Gutted for you. Dropping to 2nd surprises me sometimes, when traveling at 30ish, as the revs are still at 3.5-4k revs, so not long til it comes on cam, and shoots off again.
Gutted.

I'd wait for the new RS, or Corsa VXR or new Civic Type-RR. Or even the new (dare i say it) Punto Abrarth, 230bhp and 4WD!! Madness. All similar money as well. I'd hold on to your RS-1 as its in top condition!

It should have a trip computer. All models above a 1.2 8v have trip computers!? Your car won't have cruise control unless fitted as an option by the orginal buyer.
The windows? Welcome to french ownership!
'The central locking switch doesn't work', do you mean, that when you set off, it...
^^^ I got something similar mate! Although i did (at first) think he was actually interested in buying a boat and trying to make it as fast as a 172/182/trophy! lmao.
His excuse is typing quickly? What's the point in that if it makes no sense? I think he needs to slow down, and read through...
Yes its possible, but don't do it!!!!! i had 17's on my old 1.2, and it was shockingly slow off the line...big stupid heavy wheels are a big no!

Diesels are catching up in the speed stakes. For example, any one had a tussle with a 120d M-Sport Beamer or a Seat Ibiza Cupra TDI? Both with 160ish bhp (i think the beamer has a few horses more), together with RWD (on the beamer), and FWD on the Cupra, still very rapid for what they are, and...
Has nobody ever raced one on track? I'd be interested to see the results! Surely someone has? 172/Cup/182/Cup Vs. Megane 225/Cup?
I would assume the 225 would edge it, but i've never raced one...

S2000 revs to 9k (or something stupid like that)...Similar to a Vee in performance stakes, but dont look as good imo!!
The extra cash you would need to buy an S2000 wouldn't justify the pound per thrill you talk about!
Stick with the 172....(but we would say that)
