I like them. There are better seats around, but they usually look horrific (sparco etc). I've an old back injury, the recaro's in the trophy and the 200 much better than standard for lumbar support.

There's washers between the standard subframe and the car. Easy to remove, 4 bolts under the car, lift the seats and remove the plastic washers. 1/2hr job.

In terms of refinement, petrol still has an advantage. If the money doesn't matter, petrol engines are more enjoyable.

Of course not. The m135 isn't a hot hatch in the traditional sense, the fiesta is. Different class of car, silly point. I can't name a GTR rival for less than £25k. Doesn't mean there aren't any good performance cars for less than 25k.

Great colour.

Carry a set of 20's wearing off road tyres. Swap for that road. Then swap back.

I concur.

Oh look, foreigners whinging about a Brit. F**k off home. ;)

Lol. Just noticed Daniel in the background.

Many thanks Edd!

It's my brothers Dan. Fabia vrs estate (he's got a dog). Awesome wee thing, dsg and twin charged motor.

Could anyone photoshop a black roof onto this? Thanks in advance.

Had that on my old ph1. Turned out to be lambda

Non cup 182 is the same as 172 and 172cup. Only the 182cup/trophy has different bolt spacing.

Koni's? £450ish, adjustable damping. Not that low, but if you're considering standard dampers with springs im guessing you aren't going for v low? Had a set previously, brilliant setup.

That's not what it says? Offered 5.5k. Said no. They offered another figure, he got 1k on top.

Camskill normally cheapest place.

Hankook v12 evo. Superb all rounder.

Asian mode "Innit boss"

If (big if) you can find a tidy ph1, that would be my choice. Not much heavier than a cup but you get abs/aircon. And the cable throttle, which is nicer to use. Cheaper to insure as well iirc.

Noise from the front or back?

I've got a clutch switch on the way, but as a temporary measure I've bridged the connection in the footwell. Works fine, cruise does cancel if you get on the clutch, but there's a slight delay.

It's a ph2 172.

Did this today. Not a difficult job, took under an hour.

Tried this? http://www.alignmycar.co.uk/

Has anyone experience of these? Need new boots all round, been happy with the v12 evo's in the past, but may try something different.

Only outdoors. With a can.

Cheers.

Anyone know whereabouts the oil filter is? Had a brief look, can't see it?

Shame the gendarmerie were very visible and severe this year. Glad we got our driving done before they turned up, think we could of all been in a spot of bother otherwise!
