Its a timless car tbh, things change but people will always appreciate them for what they are! Is the new R8 V10 sharing the same engine from the Gallarado iirc?
Pull the HT leads from the coil pack through the process of elimination?
Sounds like a faulty Coil pack or HT leads...?
Any lights on the dash illuminated mate?
The white one with the Porsche wheels belongs to a lad called Mick, its just a hub adapter to accomodate the 5 stud Porsche rims.
You should speak to him
You should mate, if you can get a VTS or GTi and get it upto about 160bhp and strip it to about 830kg's itll be about 190bhp/ton and doing 0-60 in sub 6 seconds.
Not that id know anything about that ;)
You shouldnt worry about 182 residuals with the current economy..
The value is never going to go back up so why bother...?
If you can get £1000 you could have youself a VTS and just kick its hole right in...!
Pulsar GTiR is a very good shout imo (nothing to do with it being an all time favorite)
But 4wd and 227bhp as standard is appaealing, s**t gearboxes though :(
As for the CTR having better steering feel is open to debate, alot comment on how its a little inert as it were
the thing that would soncern me about spending the £6k (the turbo conversion from k-tec) Would be compromising the limited reliability thet have as it is, and by the time your done fixing it would you wish you had just bought a fast Subaru/Mitsubishi in the first place?
I dont know, it really...
After speaking to my old boy who was a mechanic and now an engineer, he has always said one thing about modifiying cars and ive never heard a truer word said....
"There is no substitute for cubic capacity"
Plenty of ex GTi/VTS owners on here mate you have come to the right place!
172 is a step in the right direction, a modded GTi would probaly be as quick but then so are 172's ;)
Welcome anyway mate, what 172 you after....?
