That's easy to solve. Whack a pair of HOOOOOGE flaps behind the front wheels. They'll resemble barn-doors, drag on the floor and probably knock 20mph off your top speed. :clown: D.

Maybe..... or it might have one of those Saber dump-valve effect speaker units! In which case the owner needs to be shot. D.

What are you actually using the car for with these uprated brakes? (or have I missed what you said? :o) Brakes really are as personal in choice to that of a pint - one man's favourite brew is another one's knat's p1ss. No doubt, there are much better brake combos out there, but for me, I went...

182 Trophy - without doubt. I don't like the Mk.3 looks at all. D.

Looks good! Will you be colour coding the bumpers and side-strips? D.

.... in the car park, next to Matalan. Two spaces up from me was a '51 reg dark blue 172 and directly facing it, was a '53 plate 172 Cup. Anyone off here? :) D.

I've been over to A-U-L quite a few times in the last week or two. Probably will be doing over Xmas too - the 'rents live over there. :) D.

PMSL! That reg was MADE for you! :cool: D.

Not too sure on the triple SLi support though, Mike - they can't even get dual SLi working right with Vista! Bet that drinks a fair bit of juice under full load too. D.

Lol! Shame on you for asking....... (does it though?) :o D.

^^^^ - cheers for the link, Griff :) D.

..... forgot about this. :clown: Had to nip to Tesco to get some emergency kecks - the fecker on the door wouldn't let me in the work's do on Saturday night as I was wearing jeans - lol! Anyways, mad dash into Tesco's and on my return was a 197 parked right alongside me. Plenty of parking...

Had three of us looking at it - scratching our heads. No CS stickers on it, but I'm sure I've seen it before. Looked convincing - and looked well with the after-market zorst and the Renault Sport door badges. The definite giveaway was the drums on the rear - you almost had us fooled! :cool: D.

Cheers Chris - no worries. If Nic does get the chance, I'd appreciate it. :) Hehehe! There are some benefits in me not deleting my PM's often! ;) 'tis a good mileage, but they we're up front for all of that time. I chewed up the front set of originals by the time it had it's 24k service at...

..... coming off the M60 and down past the Ford garage. I 'think' I accidently went through a red light following you...... (sorry officer!) :o You looked a bit lost - were you reading a map???! ;) D.

Aye - it sure is, but they have had some serious mileage out of them - nearly 40k! - so they have done their job. :) I'm just baffled as to why nothing was mentioned - even just a off-hand comment like "I think your fronts need replacing, m8" - or something from the staff at Reno Manchester. I...

I'm not 100% sure of the requirements of an MOT, but surely to god, Reno Manchester would have mentioned something about the state of my front tyres? The inside tread literally doesn't exist and the rubber itself is straight down to the indicator marks... It has two weeks since the first...

You definitely did the right thing. Not being funny, but if none of those other three passengers were crapping it, trying to keep up with an R32 by their deranged driver - then clearly they must be unhinged to start off with. Very scary. Just shows you in cases like this, that they will almost...

So long as the engine cover and surrounding areas don't get messed up, James. Those are almost a work of art! :cool: D.

It looked awesome from the bits I saw - definitely one to consider should I ever get pots of cash. ;) D.

'Maybe' get the rims coloured a proper black... Other than that - just spend another twelve months licking picture's of white Evo VI's ;) D.

If he's considering a Mk.1 - tell him to take it easy.......... very easy. You can't just chuck these things around like you can with a 172 or 182. D.

Easiest way I've ever found to mess about with partitions is with FDISK. MS-DOS command line stuff...... FTW! :cool: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255867 D.

No-one got one/used one? D.

Welcome! As others - take it easy with the 172 Cup this time of year. Don't forget - you've no 4x4 to rely on now! ;) D.

Hell yeah - keep 'em on! :D If you order some in black - let me know and I'll get some too! D.

Bastids. :( D.

Too right. When the Mk.4 Clio gets released with the same dimensions as a current Megane - and Reno will insist on squeezing a few more bhp out of the same 2.0 16v engine as the 182; we'll look back on the 172 Cup in total admiration. Got to love the irony of the roads getting more crowded...

PMSL! Ring every inch of life out of the rubber, eh?! D.

^^^ - ah, there's plenty of life left in those tyres jon - what are you worried about? Who needs tyre shoulders anyway? ;) D.
