i can see where your coming from with what you have said and congrats on the 197 too mate
my dad had a white 197 cup and i must say it looked stunning, the problems lied in the driving, the box is way too short if you ever want to go on a long journey as motorway drives = headache, the mpg is...
Thts fantastic mate, love to see any standard car thats as immaculate as this
how long did you spend on the underside?, ive spent a few hours on the lupo with apc and a selcetion of brushes and still dont have anything as good as what that is lol
Lots of very nice 172's/182's today, no 197s though:(, the white 182 i saw was p**n
went down in my mates standard 225cup and he ran a 14.5 which he was very happy with
I was in the silver lupo gti, spotted the silver 182 on the m1, tried having a little play and we both then turned off, it looked stunning by the way
the vee was also gorgeous, i was just pulling out of a housing area as id got lost
was only in the area to pick my dad up as hed just sold his...
i miss going in something ie 182,106gti,172 and thinking wow this is quick, its horrible when you get used to it, i want to buy a 1.2 for a year and not go in anything quick, just so i can get that wow factor back of a hot hatch, everything feels normal now in the rallye :(
personaly id go for dodo juice, iv got some light fantastic which is for white and light couloured cars, but you can find out which is best for your cars colour on detailing world or when you go to buy it will tell you what its called
awsome stuff, costs £32 though but well worth it imo
love the supercharger whine on these, so addictive, mate had the minispeed 220bhp kit on his, went like a b*tch, untill it melted a piston, oh well happy days, hes got a meggysport now :)
i liked his s so much, i bought a cooper lmao
whinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeee
supersprint mate, i almost traded for a pugsport but the supersprint gives better gains power wise, doesnt look quite as nice though as it isnt stainless
its a long way off mint for sure, but ill hopefully have the underside and inside re-sprayed before fcs and hopefully have a cage too, not sure what colour to go with the cage though
ah front end bits are very marmite but after seing a few standard i jus prefer mine as its different, i can see why people arent keen though
the boosh : give me a pm when youve got your 182 and ill get the rallye cleaned up lol
cheers powey, ill have a quick look for an interior pic :)
thanks people, was selling for a 172 cup, got a few offers and accepted 1, then changed my mind, want to have 3 runs at santa pod in it first, have a 15.1 to beet from my 8v rallye :)
if i hit mid 14's ill sell up lol
