concrete gatepost or wood, metal??

theres one on ebay at the moment

true, but you still wouldnt own a V6 :D

So how come the used one is £17k? VAT on £14980 still amounts to £17,600.

Megane is certainly a better bet for 99% of people. The V6 has inferior practicality, is noisy and is generally more expensive to run. You could make the same comparison with any family car. But round a track, which I think is what this thread is meant to be about????? Come on, youre having a...

I think that £11995 is a bit of a teaser to be honest. Once youve added VAT and the road pack itll cost nearer £20k. If youre in any doubt about this, have a look at their stock list to get some actual prices on used cars. One example: 2003 52 Reg Honda Integra Type R, Championship White...

bit difficult getting out after parking it in the garage..

Blimey! Maybe it is!

According to the latest Tom Clancey novel, Hereford is in Wales :confused: Good book though.

LOL is that on proper stuff or chip fat? ;)

easy to get one for that price - the 182 really blew the bottom out of the 172 market. Place a wanted ad in the appropriate forum.

No difference really, but bear in mind that if you get an early Mk2 you still wont get ESP/TC.

no need really. A lot of people do it at around 6k though.

OK Its 124cm wide, and 21cm across. No real restriction vertically. The net is flexible though so the 21cm is not really a limit. The real limiting factor is the position of the seats.

Depends how far back the seats are *goes to find tape*

What do they use to get air into the Vee on the RR? On a front-engined car they put a great big fan in front of the engine - did they do anything similar on your air intakes?

They work much better when theyre warm - like most brakes, but I dont remember the brakes on my 172 being less than adequate when they were cold.

Looks really nice!

There are Mk1s available for around £12k or £13k these days - bargain of the century IMO.

If you have £2,500 to spend, send a PM to BenR and hell do a proper job including the things you mention, and probably get you an extra 40bhp.

The standard exhaust does appear to be the weak point power-wise. +16 bhp is quite realistic.

Lol, had mine 2 months now (Mk2) Its awesome :D Do a search there are lots of V6 threads. Oh by the way, August next year may be too late - V6 production is due to end some time next year, and there will be no replacement.

Cupra R is a good car, particularly on wide flowing circuits. The Clio would beat it on a tighter circuit. £18k car beats £12k car. No surprise there then.

True, but theres only about 2 inches between the car and the wall on one side. Suppose I could do one side then reverse in and do the other :D:p Will try the warm chamoix trick when I next wash the car in March.

http://greydevilindustries.com/http://greydevilindustries.com/ are the experts. PM Andy GDI for more info. Its a replacement ECU, custom mapped to exploit your modifications.

Dastek SMT6 wouldnt do any harm after a few engine mods thats for sure.

Just finished washing the car (had to stop it was getting dark!). Is there any way of effectively leathering the car when its brass-monkey weather? The water just seems to stick to it!

They rev to 7200 I believe, same as a 172.

If you can get your 172 in your garage, a V6 will fit. I was worried about this when I swapped my 172 for the Vee so i borrowed one to try it out. Mk1 V6 is a great car - the Mk2 may be a bit better out of the box, but there are lots of things you can do to a Mk1 to improve it. Welcome to...

^^ youd lose big-time if it was Silverstone or Donington Park, youd win if it was Curborough. At Spa in September the V6 had more speed in a straight-line and more grip in the corners. It was no contest. On a tight twisty track the agility of the Cup (or any 172) might give it the edge. Ive...
