Apparently standard they put out 85kW @ 6000rpm and 161Nm @ 3500rpm Anyone know their weight?

Had a nice little race with one of these today. He was a few cars ahead of me at the lights and rocketed off so I worked my way around the other cars and caught up to him on a curve where he slowed up and let me pass, till we got a to the next set of lights. He was behind me, and I pulled off...

Yeah, 9.2 is rather sh!te Up here the 0-62 time is 8.5ish which is using 93 octane and at over 4800ft above sea level

Does anyone know if the mk1 172 came standard with EBD? (Electronic Braking Distribution)?

Yep, I know Im dissapointed in the low down power of the 172/cup, and Im sure there are many cars out there that could overtake a 172/cup if caught below prime rpm.

Hmmm, maybe your ECU has gone nuts since they control things like wipers etc

:) nope, seems to happen any time, whether brakes are warm or not. Will see what they say

Well its not juddering, Ive had cars with disks that needed to be skimmed and this was nothing as juddery as that. More like a gentle increasing and decreasing of braking at low speeds. Anyway Ill take it to ranult next week and ask

Hehe, My brother is dying for tuesday to arrive as thats when arrives here. All hes been telling me is he cant wait to see the sun again

nope, non of that, just a kinda increase and decrease of braking at low speed with my foot steady on the brake pedal. The breaking is actually very smooth at high speed hard braking

How do I know for sure if I have warped disks? During light breaking at low speed, there is a kind of increase and decrease in breaking even though my foot is steady on the brake pedal.

Hmmm, hopefully its a one time thing. Maybe something like air in the fuel line? but then it probably would have stuttered then died.

Enjoy it mate!

Theyre confused.

thats very impressive if you could ship it to South Africa for that much;)

I think another thing to be considered, but to a lesser extent is altitude and fuel used. Oh and temperature at time of testing. One of our local motoring mags (Car Magazine - http://www.cartoday.co.zawww.cartoday.co.za) testeded the 172 in May last year (which means a mk1) down at the coast...

Mine squeaks on full lock...got a feeling its the suspension cos it happens when the wheel moves up and down, but only on full lock...weird...maybe something is rubbing on something else
