Does he come on here reguarly?

Hey guys was just wondering if anyone on here has had the Turbo kit from K-tec fitted? ITs about 6-7k i think and take the 172/182 up to 250bhp running at 12psi (I think dont quote me). Anyone had this done? They say it does 0-40 in sub 5 seconds??? Regards!

That wouldnt sell privatley for as much, think thats a shade overpriced!

Much older?!?!? Mate the last ones were registered in 2003, old? :S To be honest mate just look at Fords History, infact just look on the roads round about you, how many Fords @ 8+ years old have you seen? Millions! There everywhere and the reason is down to reliability! The RS is iconic...

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Thats true dedication that car will see you many more miles if you treat it like you have so far, it actualy makes me happy that my car has only got 45k on it i plan to run it until "she runs no more" lol You just cant beat that induction noise when you...

Well it doesnt grow on bloody trees lol

KEi Force 10s? Very nice mate, has it impaired performance? Keep an ear out for the ebarings they tend to go on the rear when you start screwing with the wheel size apparently.....

Unless your car is a GT40 id dingy the stripes mate, from a distance itll look like a ford, where stripes belong

Your car will have some turbo lag i think eliminating turbo lag is like finding the holy grail. Porsche claim to have sussed it by having the turbo chargers move in 180* to make compensate for different pressures of gears,humidity,revs etc etc. Even at that they say it can still be better, i...

All the Evo 8's are ins grps 20, even the 265bhp base model, i doubt any of the other lancers will be much lower. Imports will be higher again!

Where abouts in Glasgow are you matey>? Ive seen a shitload of 197s about over the past week:S

There claimed to do the 0-60 dance in 6.8, is that not the same as a 182? Turbo lag is supposedly Vauxhalls worst nightmare on most models

Depends where your priorities lie.... With the V6 you'll get aload of thumbs up from the boys! With the TVR you will get your thumb up aload of the girls....lol

Just tell them to clamp it and keep haning on to the holy f**k handles

Id forget both mate and get yourself a Focus RS itll do the exact same thing the megane can do, better! IF you buy either the Clio or Megane, what can you expect to sell it on for once you have had enough of it>? Probaly alot less than your going to buy it for! The focus RS's will go the...

Any play through the steering when the cars around 60mph?

oh thats so f**king sweet, both of them are stunning actually

Id like to see how your car stands up against an EK9? Are you part of the ek9 owners forum>? www.ek9.org Alot of good lads on there,really know there stuff!

No they are out there if you know where to look;) Standard they make 227bhp and are 4x4 drive. As legend has it they do 0-60 in 6.1 secs Ins Grp 20 so thats a b**ch, apparently there quite fragile but there true 911 eaters

Re: Holy s**t!!!! Sorry, but what a fuckiing tosser

15k?? Thats a farking bargain! You couldnt pick up a high mileage 2002/3 RS4 for those kind of benjamins. I really like the M5, unless you have a keen eye for cars you would never know that it packs 400 galloping ponies under the bonnet!

In theory your car should be a shade slower off the mark but not much as someone said you should get a better top end (airstrip ofcourse). My mechanic pointed out to me that apparently putting 17s on the 172s seems to reek havoc with the rear bearings, keep a listen out for that

Right getting the wheels on my phase one 172 done next week. Im thinking of getting them done Anthracite, Gun metal gray-ish. The car is silver has anyone had this done>? ITs the standard OZ wheels that are on it at the moment. Dan

Tooshi old boy, Tooshi!

My old boys a mechanic aswell i took him to see mine, he said it was minted for the age and i went with it. Made a good choice from walking away, that could have been a never ending nightmare!

Wouldnt be my selection to be honest

Very good points made here, the likley hood is the dealer will give you no where near what there selling for privatley!

Vey wise mate, id never buy a car with someone telling me "honestly,its been done!" Bypass!

Has it got the 2.0 engine in it? Rear Discs and callipers?

Sorry do you mean a Phase one or two? Buy privatley but make sure she has been treated well, it cost me a fortune to put the neglect right that the car sufered before i had it
