    Noob 172/182 questions

    a lot of the fun in a track car is the preping and mantinace though rather than renting. personally id go for a ph1 as your getting a lighter car, they are cheap to buy, already have 15" wheels for cheap track rubber, , cable throttle gives a better driving experiance and they have a better mid...

    PC World Repair lol

    i dont go near the place, if i cant afford to wait for something to come online i go to a tesco extra, the staff dont pretend to know what they are taking about, they dont try to sell you anything you walk in, point to one, pay for it, walk out, done!

    Opinions going from 172 -> R27 197?

    thats the sort of commute you can have a riot on and still get decent mpg, i used to have one like that and covering ground quickly i was getting better mpg than i was sat on the motorway at 70mph as it was quick bursts of acceleration to get a bit of speed and then feathering the throttle, no...

    ADMIRAL - you make my blood boil.

    i think its if an accedent was recorded on a car where your the main policy holder. i cant put my mum on my insurance anymore as it puts it up due to someone running into the back of her company car driving school car while it was out on a driving test and she was sat on her arse back at the...

    Opinions going from 172 -> R27 197?

    after years of stiff suspension running loads of different manufacturers of coils/springs/dampers i dont think any of them are as stiff as the cup suspension lol. on a smooth road its fine but throwing it down a backroad at serious pace you get thrown about far to much in car which takes your...

    How far on a Full Tank?

    yeah although i think what people, myself included is the "debatable" 30bhp more that the 200 has, your talking the power difference between your average 1.2 and 1.6 "normal" car between 2 versions of the same 2.0 16v engine that mixed with the extra (from memory!) 200kg? is going to make a...

    also worth adding not sure about the 197 but the 200 cup chassis is MURDER on the road unless your on a lovely new bit of road! imo its a bit to stiff for your average uk road, and becomes a pain if you end up doing any long motorway journeys!

    RS2 makes 150lbft for almost entire rev range and 190bhp on standard engine :)

    people get too hung up on peak power figures, that is an awesome torque curve, if you can call it a curve! more like a line!

    Opinions going from 172 -> R27 197?

    im genuinely interested in a shot of a 197 to see if the 200 really is as it was advertised as 20% more low down torque or what ever they said it had as im surprized how pokey mine is under 3000rpm, wish it was quite as urgent from 3000rpm to 5000rpm, feels a bit weak mid range then goes nuts at...

    Opinions going from 172 -> R27 197?

    i went from ph2 172 to ph1 172 to 200. would never in a million years go back. 172's were great in their day and will still happily keep pace with a 200 in a straight line but the 200 has a cracker of a chassis, awesome brakes, no rattles, recaros are awesome and they are a much nicer place to be.

    How far on a Full Tank?

    my 172's would have done that no problem too but this seems about average for a 200 going by the reviews, again as i said its done 400 odd miles, so will loosen up a bit but cant see it making a massive difference only made 2 or 3 mpg difference on my dci doing 20k over brand new
