Think some of the posts have missed the point. 99.9% of the time most of us aren't racing Cup's and FF's so its irrelevant which is "quicker". ESP was introduced quite late in the production so you'll find as many if not more FF's without ESP than with. ESP and ABS are nice to have and can save...

Very nice, pity it won't fit a 172 :dapprove:

Too much black not enough yellow, break it up by painting the diamonds on the wheels as well.

As above I was in the blue 172.

It looks lowered so i'd just put standard springs back on to sort the ground clearance.

Crimestoppers? If that stilll exists??

Rentech are in Portsmouth, I had a full service and belts changed, highly recommend them. Some members on here come all the way from up north to get a service done by them. Website is www.ren-tech.co.uk

If you live in the south take it to Rentech asap if not take it there anyway!

Mines an import and has a changer.

I didn't want a Clio I was going to chop my Pug 106 1.1L for a Civic Type-R or a Cooper S! Stumbled accross a 172 while going to see one and just loved the 172 after that. Was looking at 5 year old cars with my original 10 grand budget and realised I could get a similar age Clio a lot...

Looks like the vee still has more boot/bonnet space than a Mini Cooper S though.

How about a group buy? I'd take 4 at that price ;)

Wonder if they'd match that price for me if I pop along to my local one?

How come it was so cheap? Is it a special offer or did they price match?

Haha, meant to put 182!

There's a Southern Rolling Road Day on the 8th March. Might be a bit to far away for you though.

Are you making correct power, i.e. 180ish bhp?

I prefer the 1*2 mainly due to its looks, the 197 just looks a bit bulky/heavy to me. The perfect package for me would be a mixture of the two. I'd take the looks of the 1*8 and its better standard features, and add to it the 197's engine, brembo brakes, rear diffuser, recaro seats and steering...

Thanks

My 172 is an import does anyone know if they have an immobiliser?

I use The Kennel Club, never had a problem claiming.

Had it done many miles since the last belt change? Glad I got my belts and pulleys done a few months back after seeing that. I agree with Burp this should be stickied as a warning for other members.

Here's the link, but its a 45 not 40 profile. http://www.blackcircles.com/public/order?view=standard

They are cheaper on blackcircles mate, £47 per corner.

Whats the difference between the two?

The Eagle F1's won the Autocar tyre test last year.
