I need to get a proper drive. Bear in mind I'm an optician driving a ph1 (so the image of the car is not priority lol), I do 20k+ miles a year (in a ph1, with a yoz race exhaust and coilovers and squeaky brakes!!), all I want is a great driving car that costs beans to run. Refinement etc means...

Oh ffs. There you go using logic. Wtf. Idiot. <3

Because in CSland, having finance means you can't afford it. Rofl. I'm going to have to book a 200test drive me thinks. Ugly as a smashed arsehole, but I'm starting to want one. I think.

Trophy/182cup is pretty much same spec as a ph1, bar the seats. No xenons, manual ac. Agree on the ph1 interior being s**t. But then I spend my evenings with the wife, not lounging in the car at McD's ;).

You booked?

Came across that on an autocar day at bedford, f**king rapid! Did his brother run a TVR at the time? Loved his plate.

There is, it was off my car.

Standard, yes. But he's not talking standard. I'm sure a 172 on decent (and I mean decent ;)) coilovers would be more fun than a standrd cup. With the added benefit of a few comforts. Or if weights an issue, get a ph1. Similar weight to a cup, but you get to keep ac. Mines 999kg with reclining...

Mines on 80kish miles, running better than ever.

Have you booked Bedford?

It's my magic cat that did it IMO.

Why skimp a few pennies on brakes?? That's all you're going to save. Maybe better off spending money on consumables than spunking it up the wall on t**t strips etc ???

The only reason to go for a 182, is racing blue. All the best colours are ph2 172, mondial, Monaco, and flame. And the exhaust is cheaper when it falls off.

Ph2 172/cup with some mild mods (coilovers/brakes/seats)=more fun than a 182.

Wheels look good.

Stunning. Just stunning. Wanna do a ph1 lol.

I've got an Alpine swd1800 under the passenger seat.

I get the feeling mine were a friday afternoon job re. rates and springs, because most people seem to get on with them. It's no exagerration to say mine were hideous, although coming from shagged standard shocks with apex springs, I didn't notice until it was too late.

Did you change the rates etc?

Good lad! AST I'm assuming? IMO, leave the power until you've exhausted the suspension and getting the most out of it. When you have such a boost in power, it's easy to get complacent because of the extra speed.

EFA

Twas in jest, I love Puma's. Great fun.

f**king too right!! Damn good job as well, Puma's are slow as f**k;).

Indeed. I'd go for decent suspension, brakes (pads/discs/hoses). Then a s**t load of tuition and track days. Amazes me that there are people running silly power, spending all that cash, then chucking on £200 suspension. As far as I'm concerned, making a FWD car massively more powerful isn't...

Sensible soccer, the SNES version. Had the option of an easier dribbling system, had some epic games on that with my brother. Scoring from the half-way line (Beckham position) was do-able. Never played a game where you could acheive so much curl. As a close second, shadowrun, SNES again...

Does the p in psj stand for precious?

No I saw that fella. What I meant was as it's one policy, come renewal time you'd have to declare any on track crash, which even with protected ncb will still up your premium.

Suppose the only negative, is that if you crash you lose your ncb (I'm guessing?).

Looks very nice, but pointless if the airbag doesn't work.

Great colour. I never think they look anything special in pics, but I ogle them every time I see them in the flesh.
