RS Focus has 300bhp and FWD, Astra VXR has 220 and people tune to 300?

bomber is right! 17 and not wanting to pull your handbake up in an icey car park?! When I was 17 I was pulling my handbrake up more than my todger, TBH I had an awesome bird though ;) Anytime I've been near a car park filled with ice recently I've found a space and had a little spin up, even...

No, its 70mm!

I still get a 5k kick which is a bit like a turbo coming in! In the wet it will spin, in the dry in first and second I do get a bit of torque steer but it's manageable! I would like to get an LSD fitted soon but it's not too much hassle at the moment!

Someone asking about opinions on a supercharger for a 172 and I'm giving them!

Good point danny, they go on and on about m3s because they've driven them, yet they haven't driven a sc Clio! Most people on here that have driven an sc Clio HAVE driven an m3! Think that says a lot!

Again if you were to power over out of a corner in a rwd drive car it would only work properly if you have an LSD too! Which I think is what was said earlier about a fwd not having an LSD ;)

Lol try getting out of a 90 + degree bend fast in a fwd car with 240! Its not a case of just pinning it, rather than oversteering into the grass you understeer into! They are both different cars but the same principals apply with control! And before people go on, yes i've driven rwd cars on...

Too many sc haters on here to get an average opinion tbh! Go for it you'll love it! 4k is 4k at the end of the day if you can afford it! Could you tell me of some 8k cars that are as much fun/quick though?

And he's only a lowly forum user! Hope your not poaching that exhaust from him it's mine :rasp: lol!

Really good news that! The difference between 1080i and 1080p can be seen, but to the normal user, they probably wouldn't notice. Most new BD players come with an ethernet port now, and I think more people have PS3's than dedicated BD players which has it all built in!

Cracking photos :D

Not going for a shiny look, just tidy!

No lol, its a fake intercooler on the front really ;) haha! Just waiting to get it all tidied up under there really and cold weather isn't helping getting it done!

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Standard clutch FTW ;)

I have everything you need to make a ph1 rep :D

sounds good to me :)

Put the F4R lump in it :D They are bringing a pallet so you may just gave to put it on and wrap it!

No pics hutchie :( Looks like a tidy install! Engine should be getting picked up tomorrow :D

What length wouldn't he run the cable?! We run mass lengths for LNB feeds, never any problems!

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Mines not wanting to spin up at all until around 5k, although I would guess throttle control is easier in a Ph1 :rasp: Finding petrol consumption is a lot higher lol! Averaging around 20mpg!

Hmm tough decision :rasp: What was the best mod I done this year ;)

The car is very pikey! The window switched are a perma-temp fix, they may get moved lol! I saw the bear again when I went back for mapping haha!

Not even tried it yet mate. Some things have come up about the car being sprayed so its not needing to be done yet. Will be trial fitting it Saturday hopefully! I will let you know, I think you can still keep the dash but mine will probably be going :D Its a thin sprinkling of snow :o lol!

What's happening then? Missing you all :rasp:

I'm east of you not north :p

Was getting worried all the Ph1 love had gone! Yea they were fluorescent yellow, but brake dust turned them dark fluorescent green, and the rears have been cleaned by the salty roads!

Thats good, makes mine rarer :rasp:

Hadn't taken any photos in a while so went out with the camera. Its looking a bit ratty at the moment as its being used for the winter. Now on the countdown for FCS10 so a lot of changes happening to it over the course of the next few months :) C+C Welcome as always ;)

Looks good mate, now you just need to get yourself to an EA meet :D Where abouts in Norfolk are you from?
